The guides were great. Tour lasted about 2 hours. Lunch was good too. Water was chilly but warmed up fairly quickly. We went on the beginning of April. Saw lots of colorful fish.

Absolutely Not!!!!

Shelley_M, Jan 2025
Do not book this excursion. It was a mess from the beginning. We didnt even get to go, so lost a lot of money. There are plenty of places to book this same excursion when you get here. I wouldn’t recommend booking ahead of time

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Our guide waited for 20 minutes at the dock and attempted to contact you to reschedule for 11:00 AM, but unfortunately, we were unable to reach you. We understand how this situation could be frustrating and always strive to provide the best communication and service possible. If you’d like to discuss this further or share additional details, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Lots of beautiful fish

Great snorkeling, more fish than I expected to see! Guides were very friendly. Wish we would have seen more sea lions

Not worth the money

Lupe and Pepe were great guides to some of the best snorkeling I have ever experienced. Saw all the sites with good narration. As a bonus saw some whales from a distance.

Great and enjoyable time

Tyson_C, Dec 2022
All of the employees were great, from pickup to drop off. The instructor was very informative as well as entertaining.

Great adventure!

Celeste_H, Jul 2022
The experience was great! My husband and I went with our 5 & 8 year old sons. The 8 year old had the time of his life, however, the 5 year old was too afraid of the snorkeling. I would recommend older kids to fully enjoy the experience and avoid one parent being left behind on the boat. The instructors were really hands on and the ride was beautiful. It was a bit difficult connecting with them at first to confirm pick up times, however, I suggest going direct to their website and utilizing the chat option! They are very quick to respond on there.

Nikita_P, Jul 2018
Amazing tour guide - made us feel very safe and comfortable in the open water. Lunch provided sandwich and chips was more than enough and filling. May not be recommended for those are who are easily sea/boat sick - waves are choppy. Beautiful fishes and sea animals.

Michael_M, Jun 2016
We have traveled extensively. This was the best tour we have ever been on. Our tour guide Ed was amazing, he even came back the next day to complete our beach time that we were not wanting on the original tour. I would highly recommend this tour and asking for Ed to be your driver.

Azucena G, Mar 2016
The snorkel tour is a must in Cabo. There are many options for these tours and you won't be disappointed with this one. Hotel pickup and drop off is dependable and the drivers are friendly, ensuring that everyone is comfortable. We saw great, up close views of the arch and other scenery. The snorkeling offered great views of many beautiful fish. The guides were great and highly competent. The only disappointment was I paid for pictures of the snorkeling but it did not show up that I had paid so we didn't get photos when we were in the water. Just be sure to confirm any options you pay for before going. I would recommend this excursion.

Super recommended

Rosario_l, Oct 2025
René and Pablo were very attentive and explained about the formation of the arch and marine fauna, it was a great experience, plus I had an incident with my girl and Pablo helped us immediately.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

¡Muchísimas gracias por su excelente reseña! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron del tour de snorkel y paseo en el barco con fondo de cristal. René y Pablo estarán muy contentos de saber que su atención y explicaciones sobre el Arco y la vida marina hicieron su experiencia especial. También nos alegra saber que Pablo pudo ayudarles rápidamente con el incidente de su niña. ¡Esperamos recibirlos de nuevo pronto para seguir explorando las maravillas de Cabo San Lucas juntos!
