They were great guides, very attentive, gave great directions and information. And also, we left my husband’s wedding ring on the bus and they drove all the way back to our hotel (we stayed in town and didn’t take the ride back) to leave the ring with the concierge. We are so so grateful. Thank you again!!”

Review of Los Cabos’ 3-hour power snorkel, kayak, and paddle tour, with pricing, transport tips, marine life, equipment, and honest drawbacks.

“We had such a fabulous time on our snorkeling adventure. Our tour guide Mike was both engaging and very competent. It was hard keeping track of both my kids in the water and he always knew exactly where my youngest was. He was in the water with us, pointing out cool things to look and and helping us make the most of our time out at the reef. I couldn't recommend it more!”

We saw sea lions up close, snorkeled with a dozen types of beautiful tropical fish, saw the coral reefs, and kayaked right up to the sandstone arches. Highly recommend for couples, friends, or families with older kids looking for a little adventure. No better way to see the arch of Los Cabos and the ocean as well!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 35 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $130

Review of Cabo’s private glass-bottom kayak and snorkel tour, with Santa María and Chileno Bays, transport details, costs, and practical tips.

“There was good and bad, but the 5 stars is for them stepping up to good customer service. They gave us a refund because we didn't end up doing either activity (very cold day) and we'd had issues communicating to them and finding them. But the two tour guides (and the office) handled the situation beautifully and should we ever get back to Cabo we will definitely schedule this again!”
