2.5 hours drive to the park, about 30 minutes to get ready. Actual snorkeling time is less than and hour hours. Tour guide spent a good 30 minutes chasing whales (not the purpose of our trip) and driving the boat in circles. We could have done that ourselves. Then we spent another 30 minutes picking off the gear. Had a rather slow lunch, and another 2 hours drive back to Cabo. Yes there was lot of marine life but the water made it difficult to see. It's a decent experience but way overpriced. Or maybe our tour operator was not competent enough to find the best spots. Ideally we would have spent way less time on the boat chasing whales and actually spend time snorkling.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We truly value the time you took to share your experience, as it helps us continue to improve.
Cabo Pulmo is located approximately a 2 drive from Los Cabos, as it is part of a protected natural marine reserve. Access and activities in this area are carefully regulated, and snorkeling is only permitted in specific zones and for limited periods in order to preserve the ecosystem.
During whale season, sightings may occur along the route. When this happens, our crew will only approach whales if guests express interest or give their consent, as this is considered an optional and additional experience.
As with all ocean activities, visibility conditions can vary depending on natural factors such as currents and weather, which are unfortunately beyond our control, even in areas known for rich marine life.
We truly hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a more memorable experience in the future.

This was a super fun first experience snorkeling for my 14 year old son. The driver, boat captain, and snorkel guide were a great team. We were well taken care of and the lunch spot was a fun local spot with great food. We had 3 snorkel spots from the boat. Highlight of snorkeling was the crazy big school of Jack fish! A very memorable day! A big thumbs up!

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The snorkeling was great. The bumpy ride was worth it. If you want white glove, it's not for you. If you want an adventure worth having, book it.

I was worried about the long drive. The four spots we visited were awesome and the guide and captain did a good job. Would recommend.

Best snorkeling experience. Our family of 5 had a great time! We were glad we took the day and got to see a ton of fish, a turtle, and sea lions. The lunch was delicious.
Samantha_T, Nov 2024
We saw SO many different fish! Probably the coolest snorkeling experience of my life! We saw a sea turtle right beside the boat. We saw a family of humpback whales! We saw a school or big eyed jacks! So amazing!
Michelle_V, Sep 2024
Cabo Pulmo is breathtakingly beautiful! Don't let the 2-hour drive from Cabo detour you. The landscape is amazing and the underwater sights are thrilling! Santiago and his team are awesome! We would definitely take this tour again and again!

This would have been five stars if I was just rating the driver, Gil, and Charlie and his snorkeling crew. But as I’m reviewing our experience it is lower because the water was cold and it was very windy causing big waves. After snorkeling the first reef which was fantastic for the number and different fish we saw. We went to see the sea lion colony and that was most entertaining. But the boat ride to the second reef was very bouncy and my granddaughter started to feel sick and we decided to forgo that last snorkel. Obviously the weather is not under the control of the guides, but it did serve to remind us to check out that information before going again. Which we certainly want to do.
I can’t say enough good things about Gil and Charlie. They were both helpful, experienced, and really nice people

Great trip! The village of Cabo Pulmo is a fantastic little seaside jumping off spot where the dive boats launch directly off the beach. Three dive spots include a reef dive, a dive into a school consisting of thousands of large bigeye jack, and a dive adjacent to a sea lion haul-out rock, where you get up close and personal with the animals. One adult male swam right up to me and stared into my mask from about six inches away. The reef dive was the best of the three. We could have spent the whole day floating over the coral and the multitude of colorful reef fish. The time we were allowed was too short and I would have gladly skipped the other two dives to stay on the reef. Be advised: they make you wear a life vest and that really detracts from the freedom that normally comes with snorkeling. They say it’s a rule designed to keep people from touching the coral, but that’s foolish because you are allowed to scuba dive the reef as well. I expect it’s more about liability. Keep the vest and let me stay on the reef and I would have given the trip a five. Still a good family event, albeit a long drive to and from the hotels in Los Cabos.

This is the best snorkeling you can have! Numerous fish, sea turtles, sea lions, and even whale sightings (went in January) all from the water, all in one trip! If you don't do this excursion, you're missing out on the best part of Cabo!
Kimberley_W, Nov 2021
Great experience from beginning to end! Our driver, the boat captain and our guide were the best. Cabo Pulmo Marine Park is a must see if you enjoy diving and snorkeling…the reef is THRIVING!
