So much fun!

Lynn_S, Sep 2026

We went on the private snorkeling tour with our guide Adrianna and our captain Adrian and had so much fun. We saw a huge pod of dolphins and even three (maybe four) sea turtles. The snorkeling was great and there were tons of fish and no other boats around. Would highly recommend. Just bring sunscreen and seasickness meds (even if you don't get sick, just in case).

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you so much for the fantastic review! Seeing a huge pod of dolphins and multiple sea turtles with no other boats in sight is truly the magic of a private charter. Adrianna and Captain Adrian will be so thrilled to read your kind words. Also, great practical advice on the sunscreen and seasickness meds! We hope to welcome you back out on the water next time you are in Cabo!

Our snorkel marine wildlife bonanza. Maria our guide and Freddie our captain could not have been more professional.

Josh_G, Jul 2026

Very convenient to downtown and cruise tender. If your snorkel mask doesn’t work perfectly, ask for a replacement.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We are so glad our location proved super convenient for your visit from the cruise tender. You make a great point—our guides carry extra masks and gear on board precisely so we can swap anything out immediately and make sure everyone has a crystal-clear, comfortable view. We appreciate your helpful tip for future travelers and hope to welcome you back next time you're in Cabo!

Maria and captain are so friendly and helpful. Great tour. Our cruise was late and they waited for us for 2 hours.

Great snorkel trip! Dont pass this one up!

Rebecca_C, Oct 2025

My husband and I booked a two hour snorkel trip with our 11 & 9 yr old kids and 70 yr old grandparent . Aurora was a great guide . She took the greatest care with my 70 year old mother who had never snorkeled before making sure she was comfortable.

Awesome Snorkeling Experience!

christanick, Jun 2025

Aurora and Adrian were fantastic guides and we had a lot of fun in Chileno bay. The mobula rays were jumping out of the water and swimming in large schools. We were able to jump in the water with them and got fantastic video footage. It was surreal to be amidst hundreds of rays. We also saw reef sharks and lots of different fish. Great boat and lots of fun!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

We had a fabulous time doing snorkeling today. Our guide, Joy, was great. She showed lots of patience with the kids and also made us comfortable while snorkeling. My wife has water fear but she overcame that with Joy’s help and had a great time. Would def do it again and highly recommend.

Excellent Expeirienxe

Kimberly_F, Apr 2025

Our guide, Vanuza, and Captain Freddie were amazing. They were excellent guides. Vanu was really knowledgeable about whales and the area and we learned a lot. Even tho this was not a whale watching adventure we saw whales and sped out to see them. That was really special. And the snorkeling was super - really good equipment, Vanu accompanied us and we saw so many fish. It was a 5/5 experience and we highly recommend d it!!

Great family experience on a cruise

Jessica_R, Oct 2024

We went with a family of 7 and the youngest was 10 years old, the oldest in her 70’s. It was amazing and insightful. We were on a time restraint due to our Carnival Cruise and they took great care of us. Our tour guide, Maria, was amazing!! She took great care of my kids. If I ever come back to Cabo I will book again with Maria.

A great boating experience in Cabo

John_N, Sep 2024

This was a great boating tour adventure of the spots around the Sea of Cortez off the coast of Cabo. We saw the most important spots and then were taking to two snorkeling places to see the marine wildlife. Maria and Adrian were amazing!

David_A, May 2024

Great service and very easy to get to off our cruise ship. We had a very good time. We got to avoid some of the large crowds and got to see other areas.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Enjoyable snorkeling adventure

Michael_V, May 2024

We had an outstanding experience with our private snorkel charter in Cabo. Our guide, Maria, a marine biologist, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, enriching our trip with fascinating insights about the marine life. Freddie, our boat captain, was very accommodating and even let us take the helm, which was a thrill! They expertly navigated us to the major landmarks of Cabo and led us to two superb snorkeling spots teeming with sea life. The sites were perfect for our family, including small children, and we always felt safe and comfortable in the water. Overall, this was a phenomenal adventure that we highly recommend!

Great boat day

Sarah_B, Apr 2024

Loved it. Booked for a family of 5 with three kids 10-12. Donna was an awesome guide and we also saw many whales along the way. (April). We went to two diff spots and all the gear was provided. Great amount of fish and variety. We would def book again.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Great!

Blake_B, Nov 2022

Our tour guide Vanuza was amazing! She was lots of fun and very knowledgeable. We got to see lots of wildlife including sea lions and sea turtles. The only thing I would say is I thought it would be a little more colorful. Overall great experience!
