All of the staff were nice and super fun! Made the trip so great. I highly recommend booking this trip! Transportation was easy! We seen whales and got to swim and go up to a little beach for pictures as well. They had a photographer for us, pictures were a little expensive but well worth it!

Excellent experience! Lots of neat opportunities in the three hour ride and great food. We went to El Arco, had successful whale watch, and snorkelled/paddle boarded. Compared to the smaller watercraft and larger boats with dozens of people, we felt like we had a great experience on the water.

Hello Greg,
Thank you for the great review. We’re very happy to hear you had such a well-rounded experience out on the water, from visiting El Arco to whale watching and enjoying time snorkeling and paddle boarding.
It’s great to know you appreciated the balance of comfort and exclusivity on board. That more private, relaxed atmosphere is exactly what we aim to deliver, along with great food and seamless service throughout.
We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back the next time you’re in Cabo for another memorable day at sea.
Overall great experience. Would book with them again. We had a party of 32 people which they accommodated no problem, drinks and lunch were awesome. Our party ranged from 4 years old to 60 years old.

My cousin decided to celebrate her 50th in Cabo! We wanted a private yacht experience that would be welcoming and allow us to celebrate the way we wanted too without judgement. The Private Catamaran was that and so much more! The staff is super sweet, and accommodating. The friendliest people we’ve ever met. They treated us like queens. Not only did they pick us up from the airport but they made sure we got to the marina, that we had a great and experienced photographer, we played music and drank tequila until our hearts were filled with joy! I absolutely loved the experience, and will definitely do this again. Please give this tour service a chance. I promise you, you want regret it. I LOVE MEXICO!!

Hello William, Carolann’s, and Bill!
Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave us a review. We’re so happy to hear that your tour exceeded your expectations. We look forward to having you back on board with us soon!
We are so happy that we found Papillon cruises on Viator. We were in Cabo celebrating a 40th birthday and were hoping to get out on the water and do some snorkeling. The catamaran we booked for our 4PM tour was having issues and we were upgraded to the 42’ foot yacht. Miguel and Miguelito were both wonderful. We were well taken care of during our adventure. Miguel was a great captain and Miguelito made sure that our drinks were never empty. The snacks were great, too. We learned about the rock formations, cruised as long as we wanted and found a great spot for snorkeling. I would highly recommend this company to friends in the future. Thanks again, Miguel and Miguelito. Amazing!

Spending the morning on Papillon 3 was one of the highlights of our trip to Cabo. Carlos and his whole crew were the perfect hosts. Our group included 3 generations of family and everyone had the best time. From whale watching to jumping off the catamaran for a swim, lots of memories were made.

Hello Kelly,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a warm review! We’re so happy to hear your tour was perfect for your whole family. We hope to have you all back on board with us soon!
The crew was knowledgeable, professional and personable. This cruise was a highlight of our trip: We saw numerous whales, enjoyed wonderful food and beverages, listened to good music, and have professional photos from the excursion, this is optional. The boat was very clean and perfect for our group of ten, although the boat could have easily handled more. Do not hesitate to book this opportunity!
