Great experience.

Christopher_R, Mar 2025
Great experience. The boat is very nice and clean. There are two crew. My guess is they max they will take is 8 guests. Did not ask. We had 5 guests on the boat. Not a lot of shade so plan accordingly- hats, towels, coverups. They had water but I would bring your own just in case. Food was great. Saw wales, dolphins, turtles, lots of fish snorkeling and some massive yachts. Seas were super calm for us. Would definitely recommend.

Delightful crew

So glad you joined us! At DIP, we make sure everyone feels comfortable and taken care of, no matter the adventure. Awesome that the wetsuit fit well, and what a great variety of marine life you got to see! Hope to have you back in the water with us again soon!

Amazing marine life viewing experience!!

Cancel all your other boat tours and book them all with Dip Expeditions! The smaller group makes all the difference and this tour is much more wildlife focused- we set out for a snorkeling destination, but spotted rays jumping out of the water and followed them for a while, then we spotted whales and stopped to watch as they swam right by our boat! Truly a once in a lifetime experience! Then, we did snorkel and were the only boat in a cove with beautiful reefs. I will be booking again next time I’m in Cabo!
