    Booked a boat tour to the...

    Andrea_G, Apr 2026
    Booked a boat tour to the Arch in Los Cabos and it turned into such a special experience — we even got to go whale watching 🐋 The ride itself was beautiful, but the highlight was spotting a humpback whale and her calf. Watching them swim together so peacefully, up close in their natural habitat, was honestly unforgettable. One of those moments that makes you pause and just take it all in. Our tour guide was amazing — she was funny, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. You could tell she really knew the area and cared about giving everyone a great time. If you’re in Cabo during whale season, I highly recommend adding this to your plans. Between the views of the Arch and the chance to see whales like that, it’s something you won’t forget.

    False advertising

    Chieko_T, Feb 2025
    What we did enjoy was we saw 2 whales & all the famous landmarks. Although there was an advertised restroom on board as well as water on board. There was neither. I am pregnant and book specifically because these were advertised. I was so thirsty and also had to use the restroom so it made my experience uncomfortable. I also booked an English speaking tour because we don’t speak Spanish. The tour guide knew very little English. I’m just glad our kids had fun.

    Response from Host, Mar 2025

    I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience. While I'm glad you were able to enjoy the whales and landmarks, I completely understand how frustrating it must have been to lack the basic amenities you were expecting — especially given your circumstances. We strive to provide accurate information, and it's disappointing that we fell short this time. Your concerns about the restroom, water, and language barrier are very valid, and we will address these issues with our partners to ensure this doesn’t happen again. We're grateful your kids had a good time, but we know the experience should have been better for you as well. Thank you for sharing your feedback.
