My sister and I had an amazing time on this boat. We chose not to snorkel and still thought it was worth it. The staff were very attentive, the lunch hit the spot, and it was super close walking distance from where cruise brought us in. Thank you so much!

Cabo ATV Tour, Camel Ride with Tequila and Mexican Buffet Lunch

Valerie_J, Oct 2026

Great vibes, fun tours ever. A must do in Cabo!

Such an awesome experience. The Camel ride and ATV ride along with the delicious Mexican buffet and Tequila tasting was a 10/10. Me my husband and best friend and her husband we all had a blast.. Our tour guys was wonderful Aidan and I forgot the lady name but both did an amazing job during the tours. I noticed some folks complained about extra fees for atv insurance and park fee along with photo pricing on previous reviews before I purchased the combo tour I would definitely say it all was worth it. No complaints here. Do all your research before booking and traveling so you wouldn't have any problems. We purchased the photo package and drone. The price of photos and drone $270.00 park fee $25 per person ATV insurance $35 per. Person paid on-site.

We have been on several whale watching tours in different parts of the world and never had an experience as wonderful as this. Our guide was amazingly knowledgeable. The tour company is great at communicating with others guides and boats to ensure the best whale watching possible. This was an incredible experience!

Saw several whales

Miguel was great at spotting whales and he had so much interesting information to tell us about whales. The boat was small and pretty rough at the beginning, but by the end it was worth it, we saw several whales. I think Miguel was more excited than us about seeing the whales! He seems to love his job.

Excellent experience!

Everything was excellent! The convenience of transportation to/from my hotel to the marina was great. Both our captain and guide did a great job locating the humpback whales and even though we were nearing the end of the season, they were still able to find a mama whale, her baby, and another "protector" whale travelling together. The photos we received after the tour were so good! Way better than what I was able to capture in my shots. Just a tip for those that may get nauseous on the water, recommend taking some anti-nausea meds beforehand to make it more enjoyable. I wish I would have.

5 star service for family after my accident prevented my cruise! The best!

5 Stars! Andre was extremely accommodating after a taxi drove over my leg on the way to our whale cruise. I alerted him and he immediately postponed our place on that morning’s cruise. He called back inquiring about my health and rescheduled the cruise for the rest of my family. Super courteous!

This whale watching...

This whale watching experience was absolutely incredible for our entire family. My wife and two kids are still talking about it. As we walked toward the marina, we found ourselves guessing which boat would be ours. To be honest, we were a little concerned at first. Many of the boats looked smaller, and we were worried the ride out to the open ocean might be rough, especially with kids. The moment we saw our boat, though, all of that changed. It was spacious, comfortable, and handled the waves effortlessly. We felt safe and relaxed the entire time. Our guide, Adrienne, was outstanding. Her knowledge and passion for marine life really elevated the experience. She shared insights throughout the trip that kept all of us engaged, including the kids. Captain Freddie was equally impressive, navigating smoothly and clearly knowing exactly where to go. And then came the whales. We saw around five humpback whales, which alone would have been amazing, but what made it truly unforgettable was witnessing a full family group. We saw an escort whale alongside a mother and her baby traveling together. It was one of those rare, magical moments you can’t plan for and will never forget. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip. If you are considering a whale watching tour, do not hesitate to book this one. Highly recommend.

Awesome family memory

This was such a great experience for my family and I. We’ve never gotten so close to whales in our life! I wasn’t sure how the kids would do (9 and 7), but they loved it! It was a small group so it was intimate, we got to ask a lot of questions. Our guide Xochi was incredible and very knowledgeable which made it even more memorable.

We really enjoyed our tour! We had been seeing whales from our hotel so we were hopeful we would have a fruitful tour. Eric was great and found us a whale that we saw jump for easily 20-30 minutes. We also saw a mom whale, her baby, and a “nanny” female whale together and it was incredible to watch!

Sunset Whale Watching Dinner Cruise

This excursion was excellent and I would highly recommend it. The crew was excellent. Always asking us if we wanted something to drink. One person was always informing us of which direction to look when they saw a whale. The dinner they served us was excellent. It was a beautiful sunset and a nice way to end the evening.

Spectacular whale experience!

We booked our tour the morning of and was able to get on the 2pm tour. After a little miscommunication about where to meet, I called the company and they were very helpful with connecting us with our boat captain. It turned out we were the only people which made for a wonderful private experience. Our captain, Miguel was so friendly and made our trip amazing. We got very lucky and he found two large male whales right away and we saw them breach multiple times. He was very considerate of observing the rules of engaging with the animals and knowledgeable on their behavior. We went in search to find a mama and baby and with his experience, we found a very playful baby and loving mother whale. It was wonderful to see them interact together. It was an amazing afternoon and nature did not disappoint!
