Great excursion! Alex and Capt. Moises were very kind and Alex explained each stop very well. He took AWESOME pictures for us at The Arch. The snorkeling was fantastic! We swam with a sea lion and saw thousands of fish. The equipment was excellent. Perfect amount of time and we got to hold a starfish. Highly recommend!

    We had such a fantastic snorkel tour in Cabo thanks to Damian! From the start, he was incredibly knowledgeable and made everything feel easy and seamless. He took the time to explain details, answer all our questions, and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. What meant the most was how kind and attentive he was with our 6-year-old son. Damian helped him swim and guided him through the current with so much patience and care. It made the experience not only fun, but also safe and stress-free for our whole family. Beyond that, Damian was genuinely warm and welcoming. It felt like we were exploring Cabo with a friend. His recommendations and insights made the experience even more special. Highly recommend booking a snorkel tour with Damian if you’re visiting Cabo. He truly made our trip unforgettable!

    Snorkel Fun

    Tammy_B, Jul 2026
    Great time. Luis and Carlo were enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Beautiful fish and scenery. Would do it again.

    It was okay

    Tiffany_B, Jul 2026
    It's expensive for what you get. The snorkeling gear was okay, but not great. I'm a scuba diver so I'm familiar with mask and snorkeling gear and these were so-so (leaked the entire time). Didn't see much. Yes, saw fish. Not a lot of variety and didn't not see even one sea lion (wrong time of year unfortunately).

    Amazing

    We booked this experience and loved it. Our guide Carlo was amazing. Boat ride was great and the snorkeling experience was awesome. He took pictures and made sure we were comfortable with the experience. Highly recommend.

    Snorkel fun!

    Jennifer_C, Jul 2026
    Nice boat tour with snorkeling. Would recommend to friends. Very nice being in a small group. Luis was great and even made sure to take pictures on our phones.

    Excellent trip, highly recommended

    Justin_H, Jul 2026
    10/10 Great trip. Luis was waiting at the marina to welcome us and show us where to go. Carlo was our tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and super entertaining. He explained every part of the trip and guided us step by step throughout the whole experience. At one point my wife did welcome sea sick, I can't say enough about how great Carlos cared for her and did everything possible to help.

    An Unforgettable Snorkeling Adventure!

    Anthony_H, Jun 2026
    We had such a fun time with Baja Snorkel! We were greeted by Luis, who was so welcoming and friendly. He introduced us to our guide, Carlo, who then took us to the boat where we met the captain, Moises. The boat trip before snorkeling was awesome—we were on the water for about 50 minutes and got to see all the great spots, including Lover's Beach, the Arch, and the Gateway to the Pacific. Moises was a great captain and kept the boat in perfect control the whole time. Our guide, Carlo, was fantastic. He was fun, funny, and very knowledgeable. He shared a lot of interesting facts and history about the local landmarks. The snorkeling itself was incredible; we saw seals, yellowfin, rays, and so many fish I don't even know the names of. I couldn't recommend this more. It was truly an unforgettable experience and I will always appreciate the crew for making such a special trip even more memorable! Thank you guys! -Anthony

    Great experience! Carlo was the best guide and took great care of our kids! My daughter was nervous and he made it go very well.

    Beyond happy!

    We loved our adventure with Alex, Carlos and Moises! We are a family with 3 teen/tweens and wanted to see El Arco. We are so happy we selected this tour with snorkeling! From the beginning, Luis was warm and welcoming. The trip was so relaxing and fun, thanks to the two guides, Alex and Carlos, and Moises, the boat captain. They pointed out wildlife, landmarks and interesting notes about the area. They definitely prioritized safety-both in the water and on the boat. Alex kindly made himself available to help our youngest during snorkeling, offering to have the flotation device ready for her to grab anytime she got tired of treading. I appreciated that he made sure not to baby her, so she gained confidence gradually. We felt safe and engaged the whole time and appreciated their wide knowledge and authentic love for the area. We bought Carlos’ photos through airdrop because they were 100x better than the ones I took through my waterproof case. Definitely would recommend this tour to others!!

    Great experience! Alex...

    Great experience! Alex was awesome!!! He was very attentive to our needs and made sure we were safe.

    Worth a shot. This was just our experience.

    Shantilly_B, Jun 2026
    This was a great experience, we saw a lot of fish and two big manta-rays. My kids and aunt had a great time. The reason I rated at a three is because the guide could have spent more time ensuring everyone’s mask were on properly and that they were comfortable going into the water. It was very rushed. I made sure they knew how to work it all once we were in the water, but we were very close to the rocks and I think that was overwhelming for my son at first. It was my 10 & 12 year olds first time so it seemed way more stressful than it should have been. The guide was funny, knowledgeable, and was kind to us. The water was murkier than we expected and I think going three hours instead of two would have been great! Once we got the hang of it, we had to leave. Then the guide took us to restrooms that cost money to use and we later found the tourist free bathrooms that weren’t far. My son rated it 2.5 and my daughter 3/4.

    Carlo and luis the owner were fantastic snorkeling was excellent. he took underwater photos that were really good

    The coolest crew ever! Off the beaten path

    Denise_M, May 2026
    Don’t forget to bring a beach towel! This excursion is by locals who really care about the environment and are super friendly. Carlo, Alex and the captain really made this fun! The ocean conditions were favorable and we saw many beautiful fish. The only thing that would have made this adventure better is if we could have a bathroom to use to change out of our wet clothing.

    Wonderful trip, but beaches were crowded

    Milan_S, May 2026
    Alex. Louis, Moises were so much fun. They made sure everyone had a great time. The views were magnificent. The only downside that they could not control was that all the beaches were very crowded, but we had great snorkeling and the conversations with all three of them, were memorable

    Amazing experience
