We were staying at a resort about 20 mins away and wanted to book something for the day. After reading reviews we chose to go with Cabo Blue - i’m so glad we did! The staff was incredible , the boat was nice and we saw so many things. Adrian & Brian were excellent, so hospitable, kind and fun loving!

If you are looking for a ton of fish while snorkeling this isn't for you. But we saw many fish while Snorkeling as well as 3 whales and sea lions as well as dock side urchin, blow fish and many others. But the ride, service and fun were top notch. Would absolutely book again for a and easy and great day out!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hello Jessica,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re glad you had a great time out on the water and enjoyed the overall experience.
While snorkeling conditions and marine life can vary from day to day, it’s wonderful to hear you still spotted a variety of fish, along with whales and sea lions—that’s always a special bonus!
We truly appreciate your kind words about the ride, service, and fun, and we’re so happy you had an easy and enjoyable day with us. We’d love to welcome you back again soon! 🐋🌊

It was a bit of a party boat with loud music and drinks included which was not really my thing, but the staff was great and we saw whales and snorkeled at a reef.

Wonderful experience on the Cabo Blue. Crew is very professional, attentive and fun. They kept the drinks flowing and the music pumping. We saw multiple whales and the snorkeling in Santa Maria Bay was excellent. Tons of colorful tropical fish!
We took the sunset cruise two days before and we liked it so much, we booked the snorkeling cruise!

This activity is a 5+! Cabo Blue Boat crew were amazing, food, drinks, condition of the boat, awesome. Cannot recommend it more highly. We had kids, and they were comfortable and the food and drinks worked for them too. Whales, flying fish, amazing snorkeling, great cruising tunes! Loved it. We also had an issue prior to boarding and they were super responsive to assist.
Response from Host, Dec 2025

The whole crew was great, with good music. The beer was cold, the cocktails were weak, and the food was ok. Be aware that you don’t get to go to a beach, you only moor about 60 yards offshore and snorkel.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hello Martin,
Thanks so much for joining us and for leaving a review! We’re glad to hear you had a fun day out on the water and enjoyed the crew, music, and cold drinks!
Just to clarify for future guests: local regulations don’t allow boats to pull up directly to the beach, which is why we anchor offshore for snorkeling. That said, Santa Maria Bay is one of the best spots for marine life, and we’re happy you got to experience it!
Hope to have you back onboard next time you're in Cabo!

Great trip with attentive staff who know how to throw a party. Long scenic boat ride to the reef area where we got to snorkel with tons of fish and paddle board. Even saw half a dozen sea turtles on the way. Staff took fantastic pictures of us by the famous arch.

Mike_H, Aug 2025
Snorkeling was really bad....crowded beach area with a couple of fish but the crew is excellent and made it so fun. Lots of people on board but they made you feel like YOUR experience was the most important one. We loved this crew! Still worth five stars with the bad snorkeling that day.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hi Mike,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the snorkeling conditions weren’t what you expected that day — the area can get busy, and visibility can vary depending on weather and tides.
That said, we’re very happy to hear that our team made your trip enjoyable and personalized. They work hard to ensure every guest feels valued and has a great time on board.
Thank you very much for the super positive comments, we really appreciate you
We appreciate your five-star rating and hope to have the chance to show you an even better snorkeling experience on your next visit!
Thank you very much Mike!
Kindest regards,
Cabo Blue Team

Great group felt safe plenty of food and drink options and felt informed on each step loved that they offered to take our pictures. Only complaint was the snorkel site, not sure if they have restrictions on where they can go but we were in a very populated area with limited visibility and not a variety of sealife. I feel that most private tours can take you to other less populated area. Overall a great trip and would Definitely do it again. The margaritas were perfect!!!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hi Cheryl,
Thank you so much for your kind words and for joining us on the Cabo Blue Tour! We’re happy to hear you felt safe, well-fed, and informed throughout the experience — and we agree, those margaritas are a guest favorite!
We appreciate your feedback regarding the snorkeling area. You’re absolutely right — due to local regulations and environmental protections, we’re limited to specific approved snorkeling zones to ensure both safety and conservation. While Santa Maria Bay is a designated area, it can occasionally be busier depending on the season. We always aim to bring guests to the safest and most vibrant areas available, but we’ll definitely keep your note in mind as we continue to look for ways to enhance the experience.
Thanks again for choosing us — we’d love to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Warm regards,
Cabo Blue

The crew is so attentive, friendly and always checking in to make sure you are having a great time! They offered us waters and cold sodas, then kept checking in with us. The snorkeling was so amazing! The fish were all around us and it was such a memorable experience! We made dear friends on our excursion. We felt like family and gave the staff hugs when we left. Loved it!

Scott_M, Jul 2025
We stood at the dock and watched the ship leave without us at the time they said to be there. The phone number provided did not work. I would recommend anyone use a service that is more reliable.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Dear Scott,
We're truly sorry to hear that you missed the tour — we understand how disappointing that must have been, especially after making the effort to arrive at the dock.
To clarify, check-in is required 20 minutes prior to the boat's departure, not at the departure time itself. This is clearly stated in both the confirmation email sent at the time of booking and again in the reminder email sent the day before your tour. This process has worked well for our many guests, including all the passengers who successfully checked in and boarded on the same day.
When we noticed you hadn’t checked in, we attempted to contact you twice by phone, but unfortunately, there was no answer. Our phone line is active and functioning well. Because you were in Mexico at the time, it’s possible there was an issue with how the number was dialed internationally, which can sometimes vary depending on your provider.
In addition to phone, we’re also available via email and — if you booked through a platform or app — through the in-app chat feature, which many guests find helpful when traveling internationally.
We truly value your feedback and will continue working to make our communication and instructions as clear and accessible as possible for all guests.
Thank you kindly

Absolutely wonderful experience! The staff was interactive and attentive. They were our paparazzi and took any photos we asked for. The ride was smooth and exactly as was explained as we boarded the boat. Lunch was delicious- two varieties of sandwiches, guacamole, pico, tuna salad with corn, chips, fruit, pound cake. Drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) were constantly flowing. Highly recommend this many and trip- they delivered everything noted and more!

Our family (including two adult kids in their 20s) had an absolutely amazing time on this catamaran snorkel cruise! The crew was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. They answered questions, shared fun info, and kept the drinks flowing. Lunch was surprisingly delicious, too!
As someone who’s snorkeled all over the Caribbean, I didn’t expect much—but I was blown away by how good the snorkeling was. We saw some of the most beautiful and unique fish we’ve ever encountered.
This was a perfect day from start to finish. I can’t recommend this company and crew enough. You won’t be disappointed!

Fun boat ride that offers shade on the deck. Only one deck not a large boat. Open bar and the drinks are flowing. Light lunch but enough. Staff friendly and interact with passengers. Fun snorkeling at Santa Maria Beach. Water visibility ok, rough seas and wind day before so visibilty may be better at other times. Plenty of fish to see. Had paddle board and floating pad available for use. Staff makes sure everybody has opportunity to try.
