The clear boat was...

Jorge_H, Feb 2026
The clear boat was awesome. I wasn’t expecting to capture this much Buick scenery in this ride. The operator was very friendly and helpful and capturing our moments through our camera. The overall vibe was A1. I would suggest you bring sandals or flip-flops so you would be comfortable on the boat and bring sunscreen.

they had no record of my reservation

Daniel_O, Oct 2025
I’m very disappointed. I booked in advance but when I arrived they had no record of my reservation. Staff told me the correct ticket cost $37 to be paid on-site and that my prior payment wasn’t valid. I left without the tour and have requested a full refund through Viator. Please be careful when booking.

made us wait without offering any real assistance

Oriol_P, Oct 2025
Unfortunately, our experience with this tour was extremely disappointing. From the very beginning, the staff was rude and unhelpful. When we arrived and mentioned that we had a reservation, they couldn’t find it and made us wait without offering any real assistance. After insisting for a while, they finally let us join a boat, but their attitude remained unpleasant throughout. The tour itself felt like a total tourist trap — it lasted only a few minutes, and the focus seemed to be entirely on selling overpriced photos rather than providing an enjoyable experience. The “clear boat” concept was not what we expected at all, and the whole thing felt rushed and poorly organized. Honestly, we left feeling frustrated and disappointed. The place has potential, but the lack of professionalism and the aggressive photo sales completely ruined it for us.

They will ruin your plans just like they ruined mine.

Joe_G, Sep 2025
I had been saving up and searching for the best price for this activity, and finally made my reservation. When I arrived, everything turned into a complete nightmare. I got a bit lost finding the place, and once I finally showed up, the staff told me they had no record of my booking. After insisting, they suddenly admitted I did have a reservation — but then said there were no spots available and I would just have to wait. Absolutely unacceptable. This was supposed to be a surprise for my boyfriend’s birthday. We had already spent two hours getting there and had another excursion lined up afterwards. Instead of enjoying the gift I had carefully arranged, Envato​urs told me I needed to pay the full regular price ($37 instead of the $15 I had already paid) PLUS an extra $5 “fee” — and still with no guarantee of a spot. In other words: they take your money, then tell you to pay more, and still leave you waiting with no service. In the end, we didn’t do the activity at all. My boyfriend’s birthday surprise was completely ruined. This is beyond poor service — it is a scam. Do not book with this company. They are unreliable, dishonest, and has zero respect for customers’ time or money. They will ruin your plans just like they ruined mine.

Enjoyed our time. They were all about safety, which is very important to me! They’re all about making sure you take good pictures by the arch too. Loved my experience with my boyfriend.

Good experience

Kevin_J, Sep 2025
They charge extra 5 usd docking fee per person, so this is not the final price. the fish is the highlight part

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Kevin_J, Thank you so much for your review, your opinion is really important for us. It´s always a pleasure to assist you. Kind regards from AMIGO TOURS. -Judy.

Worth It

Gabrielle_M, Jul 2025
I saw a lot of clear boat deals and this one was worth the price. Tour guide was very kind and took great pictures for us!

Great time!

Jessica_T, Jul 2025
We had a great time. Our tour guide was very informative and funny. We were able to stop and see fish under the boat as well as take pictures by the arch. The meetup location is fairly easy to find but it is inside of a mini mall. If you are on a cruise, it is worth it to get the transportation because it’s a decent walk from the pier. It was definitely worth the price and was very professional. I would definitely recommend!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear Jessica_T. Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the tour, the stops, and our professionalism. We appreciate your recommendation! Best regards from Amigo Tours Rodrigo

Great way to end our evening in the marina!

Rachelle_C, Jun 2025
Great way to end our evening! Our crew was kind and informative and the clear boat was very cool, especially once we got close to Pelican Rock and were able to see a school of fish beneath us. We did the 5 PM ride in June and to be honest, the mobula rays stole the show. They were jumping like crazy and one swam right beneath us! One of the coolest experiences we've ever had. Definitely take the trip. It's a low cost excursion that we'll never forget.

The tour operator cancelled without informing me

David_S, Apr 2025
I booked the glass boat with Amigos Tours, When I went to the place Envatours, the tour agency refused to honor my ticket, even though I had an email and confirmation, I called “ Amigos Tours” , and they just hung up, the price to get a ticket was 39 USD vs the 15 USD I paid on this fake agency. The person upfront Daniela and the manager Dennisse explained to me that they usually have problems with Amigos tours, it was very disappointing.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Dear David_S, We’re truly sorry to hear about the confusion you experienced and understand how disappointing this must have been. At Amigos Tours, we take pride in offering quality experiences, and we always aim to work with trusted local partners to ensure everything runs smoothly. While we regret that your experience did not reflect the standards we strive for, we would like to clarify that our services are properly coordinated and confirmed through official channels.

Great way to see wildlife and the arch

Sean_F, Dec 2024
Great experience to see the arch and sealife. Great also if you don't want to dive or snorkel as the fish are right under the boat and visibility is super clear. Highly recommend if you have small children.

Enjoyable

Shonda_B, Aug 2024
Reese and Juan was funny and made the boat ride enjoyable. The Arch was nice and learning the history of the country.

Lisa_A, Jul 2024

Cabo has my heart

Megan_B, Jun 2024
Wear some cute outfits. Bright colors to have your picture taken on the boat. The boat can sometimes be a little bumpy so I wouldn't bring items you have to carry and hold onto. Less is better. The boat have a covering but I still loaded up on sunscreen and wore a hat. It was such an amazing experience.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Dear Megan_B, Thank you for the wonderful tips and for sharing your amazing experience! We're thrilled you had a great time on the boat tour. Best regards from the entire quality team at Amigo Tours. Chelsea

Roshelle_T, Jul 2023
Although the scenery was beautiful, we did not get the full experience due to our guide’s personal life affecting his performance.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Roshelle_T We are very sorry to know that the experience was not what you expected. We will take your comments into account to improve our services. Mariana, Amigo tours

Go to the Marina and book directly

Bell_D, Jul 2023
This company took payment and never showed up. I waited over an hour .I contacted the operator via Whatsapp exactly one minute after the pickup time. Only to be sent a message that I was a no-show. I Was in the pickup location 2p minutes before pi kup time. This is a complete rip off.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Bell_D We are sorry that you had a bad experience. We kindly ask you to contact us via email at aux_calidad@amigotours.com so we can follow up on your situation. Thank you. Mariana, Amigo tours

Super neat way to see the arch

Shawna_D, May 2022
This was a very unique experience that was alot of fun. The hotel pick up was super convenient and the driver was very nice. The boat captain Thomas and the guide Rancell were very knowledgeable and sweet. This was money well spent and is in my opinion the best way to see the arch. The boat ride was about and hour round trip. We saw all kinds of fish and we found the all clear boat to be super cool.

Best Tour Ever

Allen_L, May 2022
This was the best tour I took on my vacation to Cabo! The boat was perfect. We saw all the fish. The tour guide was so funny and very insightful of the Arch. I recommend this tour to everyone. You will not be disappointed.
