Great service and friendly crew. Highly recommended and fantastic value! Free flowing drinks as one desires, food was nothing fancy but suitable, easy motor through scenic areas and to snorkeling.

Food was terrible. Bring your own. Snorkeling was just ok too. Very crowded and equipment was not great. Staff was very nice.

We had an amazing time the crew was extra friendly and very personable it was two of our birthdays and they made sure we felt special on our day

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Pleasure to give you guys a wonderful time!! See you next time!!

Birthday getaway, Los Cabos!

Karla_G, Oct 2024
The staff was incredibly unfriendly, and the captain lacked basic customer service skills. He seemed more concerned about the safety of the equipment than the well-being of the passengers. He repeatedly emphasized the value of the equipment and mentioned the high volume of daily customers, not masks. They had a photographer whose pics we never saw. And the boat was old n terrible.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you karla!!! Maybe next time you can spend a little bit more and get a luxury yatch!!! So many people support us and love our boat! Is juat weird that 1 person say that an another 100 say the opposit

Long boat ride, good music, horrible food,

Carrie_J, Apr 2024
Captain did not do a lot of talking or explaining the area. Staff didn’t know beach names and food was lame. Captain would not go off course for whale sighting. That’s what tourists want to see.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you!

FUN FUN FUN

Sandy_B, Mar 2024
This trip was great! We sailed out to the arches for pictures, then We saw whales and fish while snorkeling , the crew was fantastic!! Very kind and FUN. A must do if you’re in Cabo!!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you Sandy!!!!!!!! We work hard for this kind of reviews!!!! Hope to see you back soon!!

Must experience this!!!

Gary_W, Mar 2024
It was an amazing experience! Started off with music (sometimes gets a bit loud) and a really great boat ride. They took photos for us and they turned out amazing! You can tell they know which angles are ideal for us. We then got to the snorkeling point which was also fun. The water wasn’t super clear but we could see lots of fish around the area. It’s a spot where other boats go to so we were not alone and it felt safe. After that was the open bar with food like guacamole and mini tuna salad brioche sandwiches. On the way back to the dock we even saw whales and sea otters! The vibes were amazing and we thought it was the most exciting thing experienced in the trip.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thanks Gary for the nice review!!! We are happy to know that you enjoy the tour!! We hope to see you back soon!!!!!!

We saw many whales which...

Carrie_H, Feb 2024
We saw many whales which was awesome, however the snorkeling was ok. Was a great boat ride and the service was amazing!!

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you!!!!!! Please send me a direct message, seems like was a great tour but the 3 stars doeant make sense to me, ill love to know if is something we can change to get your 5 stars!!!!

Need our money back

Adam_M, Feb 2024
Nothing, my text message sent us to d dock, and no one was there…..so we need our money back, please return our money

Response from Host, Feb 2024

What are you talking about??? I sent you a confirmation message telling you the exact spot of check in! I sent you a map aswell!!!! Why you guys just blame on us! If you couldnt make it just be honest!! I had another 18 people on board!!!!!

Just okay.

Colleen_C, Jan 2024
We always love going on a catamaran and do it every trip. Our experience this time was just okay. The boat bathrooms didn’t have doors, just a curtain and the woman’s toilet didn’t flush. The description of the tour said we’d see a colony of sea lions but that never happened and it wasn’t mentioned why. The snorkeling was probably the worst snorkeling I’ve experienced. I wouldn’t tell anyone not to do this one but I also would say don’t have high expectations.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

So weird, 95 % of the reviews said the opposite! We cannot make everybody happy but we always work happy and give our best service!!! Anyways i have a luxury cat for 149usd if you want something really fancy pay a lil bit more!

Good time

Lisa_L, Dec 2023
Fun time; snorkeling was good, not great, but still enjoyable. The stairs going into and out of the water were challenging for some, nothing against the boat but just an FYI before you book. The boat was a fun atmosphere with good music and the lunch they provided was very good after the afternoon in the sun.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thanks for your review!!!

Fun trip, great staff

Rodger_P, Dec 2023
Staff were great! Drinks kept flowing. It was a fun day. Our Highlight was seeing whales close up. Thanks for a wonderful trip.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you!!!!!

Wonderful excursion

Thank you!!!!!

Snorkel at chileno bay

Hai_T, Sep 2023
We had a wonderful time. Seems like every tour we go on this trip have to make a pit stop at los arcos. Even ones that would have benefited more time at chileno Bay. We loved the snorkeling there so much that we rented a car the next day to go back. DJ was entertaining and plenty of alcohol and non alcohol(water and lemonade) for everyone. Thank you for a fun trip. We still haven't gotten the photos we bought from Karen($25).

Response from Host, Oct 2023

I will take care of that photos!!!! Can you give me your email address

Snorkel cruise

Jo_O, Jul 2023
Nice boat ride to snorkeling site. Snorkeled about 45 minutes. Only saw about 5 variety of fish but there were so many of them because crew threw fish food out in the water and all the fish swarmed around snorkelers. Freaked a few girls out and they got back in the boat. 😆 All and all I would recommend this excursion. Crew was very attentive and masks were fairly new. 😊

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Sounds like you have a great trip for a 4 stars but thank you for the review!!

Good time

cpscinta, Jun 2023
The service was excellent and the food good. The snorkeling was easy and a nice cool off from the sun.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thabk you so much for the review!!! Hope to see you back soon!!!

A great ride to the snorkeling location Lots of fish seen snorkeling Refreshments were good and a very nice day

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you so much for your review!!! Appreciate it!!

Fun day trip in Cabo!

Michelle_K, May 2023
Such a fun boat trip. Not crowded or rushed at all. We enjoyed the music and snorkeling. Would recommend this trip for families. We love the catamaran and sitting on the net in front. We saw other boats that were way overcrowded. This tour was not too crowded and plenty of room for everyone to sit.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank’s for the nice review, we hope to see you again in the future!!!

Best ever

Joanne_F, Apr 2023
We had found out we were going to be late for our adventure and contacted Tony. He was amazing, he made arrangements to meet us at the boat and ensured we would go snorkeling. We had an incredible time, our guide even snorkeled with us, told us what we were seeing and the best place for snorkeling, there were no others around and made it more enjoyable. Highly recommend Tony and this tour.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you so much Joanne, i love what i do and was my pleasure to help you!!!! I really appreciate the review!!

Not the best

Sivan_F, Apr 2023
It was too cold and windy, only snorkeling was offered (even though we were planning on paddle boarding) people were vultures when the staff brought out the guac and chips.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for your review, We give the best service and we are here to make your vacation a happy experience, but unfortunately we have no control over the weather or the wind! We hope to see you soon with better weather! Regards Tony

perfect sunday excursion for 10 people

Elodie_L, Apr 2023
Had a great trip. It was my first time snorkeling and I had a crew of friends with me - there was enough room on the boat to largely keep to ourselves. Bonus was that we spotted a few whales! The instructions were limited, but really clear and we felt well taken care of. Only downside was out of their control - a few guests on board were really motion sick, which could not have been prevented by the crew but something for people booking the trip to take into account.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thanks for the review Elodie we work hard for this, about the motion sick we cannot control that but if people know they got sick is important to bring a pill for it!

A beautiful and fun-filled day!!!

KennethP_H, Apr 2023
It was a very festive time! We saw a whale and the Arch. We snorkeled and enjoyed lunch and drinks on deck. We had a great time!!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thanks for the nice review Kenneth!!!! Hope to see you back soon!!

10/10 Highly Recommend

Lauren_T, Apr 2023
My family had the most amazing experience with this tour! Tony is the best! We were coming in off of a cruise ship into Cabo, and we didn’t make it in time for the tour that we booked to leave at 1pm. Tony was in communication with me the entire time. Once we realized we weren’t going to make it, he found another tour operator/friend to take my family out at 2:30. He waited at the port for about an hour for us. He was there when we arrived and took us to we could get some snacks and drinks to bring on this other boat. It ended up being a pontoon boat/private tour for just the 7 of us in my family. It was so much fun. We still got to see all the highlights and do snorkeling. We got to play our music on the boat and request where the boat took us. It was overall an amazing experience. My family and I are so grateful for Tony going out of his way to make our family vacation the best! We all have such great memories from the trip. Highly recommend. If you are coming in on a cruise ship that’s supposed to arrive close to the tour departure time, maybe try contacting Tony directly to see what the options are to avoid the stressful situation. Tony is so kind and willing to help!! Muchas gracias Tony!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you so much Lauren for me is so nice to get this reviews coz makes everything i do worth it!!!!! Hope to see you guys back soon!!!!

Choose a different...

Kim_M, Apr 2023
Choose a different company to snorkel with! I would not ever recommend doing a snorkeling tour with this particular company. The crew was rude as soon as we got on the boat, especially the guy who takes the photos. The photographer took 6, maybe 7 photos of us and asked for $50 US dollars! $50! America is expensive but even they don’t ask for $50 for 6-7 pictures. The photos were nice and we wanted to buy them but there was no way we were going to pay that and be able to get back to our hotel. I should also share that we are a Black family. I asked a white lady how much he told her their pictures were and she said he told her it was $35 for the same amount of photos. $15 cheaper than he told us. That’s ridiculous. She didn’t buy her photos either because she said it was too expensive for only a couple of photos. When we arrived at the snorkeling location the crew was very rude and impatient with all the Black people about the kayak and paddle boards. We did not enjoy the activity with this company. Choose a different one.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Seems like you have a problem with ur own color amigo! We are not racist at all, we are mexicans, we are dark aswell, if you feel like that you should start changing your mind! I was doing the check in personally and i was not rude at all!! We love tourists no matter color gender or likes! And many reviews support us!!!!

Take your money somewhere else

Ethan_W, Mar 2023
After being hassled for not having booked the trip after clearly having proof of purchase and ticket on my phone they barely let us get on the boat after arguing for 20 minutes. We then had several rude employees who could really care less if you needed anything or were having a good time. Only not giving this one star because we got to see some whales and the driver got us pretty close. Otherwise go on a different boat. These guys are just in it for the cash grab.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thanks for your review!Next time please follow the steps, you were doing check in with the other company, obviusly they dont have you on theyre list, anyways you were so rude, also when you book i send you a message where i clearly told you were to go and in a nice way i ask you to confirm that you receive the message and guess what… never got the confirmation! I do all of that to prevent these complications! Anyways many good reviews support us, have a great day

Great service and...

Snorkeling trip

Rodney_E, Mar 2023
Very disappointed in this trip the captain was very rude did not listen to where the group wanted to go after he gave us choices. This did not compare to the sunset cruise we took.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

I already spoke with him and The ocean was really rough and for your own safety the captain took the decision to take you to the other side, my apologies but i dont even have control on him! His work is to take care of all the people on board! Have a nice day

Fun time/ great communication.

Reid_M, Feb 2023
Had a blast. First the communication leading up to the excursion was great. All my concerns and questions were answered. We were able to even get up close to some whales on our way to the snorkeling area. The day was the highlight of our cruise. The food was really good too.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

We love this kind of reviews that makes all our job worth it!!! We hope to see you back soon!!!!

Cancelled Trip

Shannon_G, Feb 2023
Had a phone call from the operator, cancelling the trip. I’m still awaiting a refund and confirmation. This trip did not happen… I am still waiting. My suggestion is to avoid this operation at all costs!!

Response from Host, Mar 2023

My friend im Tony and i made the call, unfortunately we had a really bad day for ocean activities and the captain close the port, thats out of my hands!!!! I already refund your money and i can send you the screenshots if you need it as a proof for the bank…sometimes the bank is the one who takes time to get your money back!!! I will send you a text right now! My apologies but is out of my hands, on my side i already did everything i had to do!!!! I already chat with you and you said you have the money so be kind and delete this or write something good about me coz people love to write bad reviews but never the good ones!!! Is incredible

Great boat and snorkeling great service very helpful
