Great tour. The bus ride was nice and the driver provided information about Cabo along the way. The boat ride was short but they operated safely and provided information and photo ops. The waves were choppy the day we went out so you can imagine how important it was to us that the captain and crew were comfortable in navigating. The crew took photos of us on our phone which I really appreciated and was nice. After the boat ride we did the shopping. What i like the most is the flexible pickup on the way back. You can catch any of the return shuttles, so if you pick the earlier tour you can basically spend the whole day in the downtown area shopping and at the restaurants and catch the last return shuttle which I believe was at 6. I highly recommend this tour which gives you the biggest bang for you money. A boat ride and a day in downtown cabo.

Our boat driver was so much fun. The van driver was safe. We rode to the arches and took lots of pictures. Great experience!

Not worth it…

Olivia_J, Apr 2025

Not worth it…they are running multiple tours at once, so there is a lot of waiting around. The “glass bottom” boat had two small panels to look through and although there were beautiful fish, they were hard to see through the dingy glass. The boat ride was only about 30 minutes and then we were waiting in the heat with no shade and no seats for an hour for the shuttle to come back and get us to bring us back into Los Cabos. Town didn’t have much to offer either besides overpriced, cheap souvenirs. San Jose del Cabo was SO much nicer to visit.

Love it!

Trisha_D, May 2024

We had an exceptional time on our tour. I loved that we were dropped off at Lovers Beach for an hour, given some history, and had a glass boat to see the fish. Our highlight was our van driver on the return trip. He was so much fun!

Do not go in this tour- Viator is good but not their tour operator in Cabos

Kamlesh_S, Mar 2024

1. This is not a Glass Bottom boat. It was a normal boat with a 5’x2’ box with a plastic sheet at bottom. Everyone is supposed to see fish from that bottom one by one. 2. Shuttle that picked us up from hotel was not comfortable, bouncing lot, very very old van, no shocks? 3.. Viator mentioned that snacks and drinks will be provided but nothing was given when asked. 4. After 45 minutes of boat tour there was no activity. They just dropped off everyone in a store and asked to come back after an hour. 5. Definitely it is not worth money.

Boat ride was great shuttle driver not so much

Leah_H, Jan 2024

The shuttle drivers that took us there made us all want to get out. He was extremely reckless. Almost got in several accidents, almost hit a lady walking and would step on the gas just to slam on brakes. The boat ride was great though. We did have to split up our group between two boats but we all had fun. The “glass” bottom was two little windows in the middle of the boat, but we didnt really look through them much. They were nice to have though. The tour guide we had was great. He took everyone’s picture and was patient. He was kind and funny. The “shopping” was what I expected. They take you to the store they must have a contract with thats expensive with a bunch of small pushy shops (flea market) the “shopping” part needed to be shorter. We were all ready to go back, even decided to uber instead but couldn't figure out where pick up was.

My Cabos Outing

Kim_G, Sep 2023

I enjoyed my outing! I was expecting a glass bottom boat but was pleased with what I received. I would have enjoyed more time for the tasting and shopping but overall it was good.

Not as Advertised, but Still a Decent Value

Shawn_R, Aug 2023

Loved the boat tour. That and the transportation from San Jose made this a decent value. However, the rest of the trip was misleading and uneventful. We were not given a flexible schedule as advertised; nor were we given a handy overview tour of Los Cabos. Instead, we were twice dropped at the "Tequila Museum" which offered $8 bottles of water and other overpriced merchandise (everything in there could be found at a fraction of the cost within walking distance). We were given specific pick up times which allowed about 30 minutes at the tourist trap before the boat ride, and a little over an hour at the same tourist trap after the boat trip. We didn't stay there the second time. We had to go buy water and a snack. Snacks and bottled water were not included as advertised. With temperatures in the 90s, we asked about this and were told they we had to purchase our own from a local vendor. We said the tour description advertised, "Snacks and bottled water are included", but the guides insisted insisted this is not true. I also would not classify the "Tequila Museum" as offering "Tequila Tasting". After begging to try some of the brands they had for sale with initial interest in making a purchase, we were allowed to sample a few tequilas--poured at a fingernail's depth in a shot glass--barely a taste. When we saw how much more they wanted for tequila there compared to their neighbors, and without really knowing how it tasted with the few drops we were given to taste; we decided not to buy. As a comparison, the little tourist souvenir tequila packs they sold for $25 were $15 around the corner. The better brands were exponentially higher. If you want a good deal on transportation from San Jose and a glass bottom boat ride around the arch, you will get that. Don't expect anything else advertised.

It was a time spent with no regrets

The tour guide was funny and I enjoyed the story of the divorce beach. The stops were important with the information provided by the tour guide.

Great tour!

Denise_H, Oct 2022

It was great from start to finish. The pick-up was 10mins late but it was no fault of the driver. The tour was great and we had time to walk around downtown after with flexibility to go back to the hotel at our leisure.

Wonderful overview of the main sites in Cabo San Lucas...

Salvador_V, Oct 2022

Tour was exactly as described and well done. Everyone we dealt with from the tour company were friendly and attentive. My husband is fluent in Spanish and I am not so fluent - however everyone we came in contact with from the company made sure that I also understood what was said in Spanish. The tour guide on the boat was very personable and made sure all guests were enjoying themselves and he took the time to make sure that everyone was able to get the pictures they desired. Overall, would recommend this tour to anyone new to the sites of the area. The company was also quick to respond to our online reservation and questions about arranging pick up from our hotel we were staying in as it was not on the list of hotels to choose from for pick-up.

Miguel was an excellent Guide! Trip was more than we expected. Learned a lot about Cabo. Boat trip was amazing. Views and wildlife were incredible. Shops Miguel took us to had genuine Mexican goods. Not cheap Chinese stuff. Won a free pearl with no pressure to buy anywhere! Great day!
