Rare babs135 Posted October 8, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I asked this question in another thread but it got 'lost' among the fantastic photos of whales so I am posting it again as a separate thread. A read of a thread about whale watching in Cabo would suggest that someone with back problems may be better off on a 'bigger' boat rather than a zodiac? Did I read that correctly? I've just been diagnosed with neck and back problems and the last thing I want to do is to 'set off' the pains that I occasionally suffer from. Have seen a surgeon who has ruled out surgery at the moment, but.... Perhaps then I would be better off paying the premium of booking a ship excursion. Your thoughts please.

I think the sea conditions will be the big factor for you. If the sea is calm, the small boats will give you a smooth ride. I suggest waiting until you get to Cabo to decide. There are always people near the dock who book tours. If whales are close, a panga could be a better choice than a zodiac. I think you can still book some of the bigger boats at the dock if water is rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWcruisers Posted October 11, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 11, 2017 A Zodiac will be bumpy Sent from my iPhone using Forums I agree, and a panga doesn't offer seating with back support. There are a number of medium size yachts that I think would be better for you. There is the Rissalena, Day Sail Cabo, Cabo Sails, Tropicat to name a few. Google them for reviews. I would recommend getting a reservation because the smaller boats fill up during prime whale season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
