Review of Cabo’s four-hour open ocean safari, with whales, rays, sea lions, snorkeling, small groups, pricing, and practical booking advice.
“I have to say, when I booked this experience I did zero research and chose it purely based on the pictures they posted. I really wasn’t sure if those photos were real or just clever advertising, but I took a leap of faith. Let me tell you — those pictures are 100% real and still don’t do justice to the moments we actually experienced. It was insane, to say the least. This was our first time doing a safari-style adventure on the water, but the fact that the rest of our small (!!!) group consisted of professional free divers and marine-life photographers with thousands of followers on social media speaks…”

Review of the private Río Lagartos and Las Coloradas tour, with flamingos, crocodiles, pink lagoons, Mayan clay, and beach time.
“We had an amazing time - Captain Brandon was available and helpful in the beginning, and then handed us off to Guadalupe, whose knowledge of the land and animals was amazing. We got to see crocodiles, pelicans, frigatebirds, herons, FLAMINGOS, and more. Truly unforgettable.”
Review of La Ventana’s 5-hour ocean safari, with mobula rays, dolphins, whales, possible orcas, lunch, snorkeling, and practical booking advice.
“I loved this excursion! Our guide, Juan, knows his stuff. Above all, they prioritized the safety of the animals. Super respectful, experienced, & ridiculously good at spotting whales.”
Review of Cabo’s shark safari and snorkel tour, with makos, blue sharks, whale sightings, safety details, pricing, and booking advice.
“We were in the water with a large Mako shark. We also saw a Blue shark from the boat. The waves were pretty big and two people on the boat got sea sick, so I recommend Dramamine for those that get nauseated. Great crew!”
Review of Oceanus Lifetime’s small-group Marietas Islands safari from Puerto Vallarta, with Hidden Beach, snorkeling, whales, ceviche, and practical tips.
“Wow! We were smiling ear to ear the entire time. Everything about this excursion was top notch. The visit to the Hidden Beach is not to be missed on a trip to Puerto Vallarta. We felt so lucky to have Eduardo as our guide. He was super knowledgeable, very friendly, and really went a over and beyond to make this a special trip. Not to mention the ceviche after spending so much time in the water was *chefs kiss* perfection. You will not regret going!”
Review the Cabo camel safari, including the beach ride, desert walk, lunch, tequila tasting, extra fees, and practical booking tips.
“It would have been helpful to know getting to the activity was a 1 hour drive each way. The camel ride was only 20 minutes total. Fun, but not really worth the price. Had to pay additional $25 in cash per person to enter the 'park' which should have been included in the activity price.”
Swim with free-ranging whale sharks near Isla Mujeres, then snorkel a reef and enjoy North Beach, lunch, drinks, and transport.
“I have no words to describe this excursion — it was by far the best experience of my life! The guide and the boat driver were amazing: very friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely safe. We saw so many whales and they patiently waited so we could enjoy the moment and take great pictures. Afterwards, we went snorkeling and discovered beautiful corals. The whole trip was perfectly organized, and even the food was delicious. Highly recommended! 🌟”
Taste Cabo beyond the resort zone with eight taco tastings, local stories, and five independent eateries on this 3.5-hour food walk.
“I just love food tours! I love being able to go to local good places to eat with someone that knows something about the area. This tour definitely had both of those things. We had some amazing food. And coming from someone who doesn’t eat seafood that is saying something!! We ate fish that didn’t taste like fish and we had mole empanadas and some tacos that were so tasty! The best one was the marlin machacha. That is the picture on the red plate. It was so well seasoned that my husband and I ate the whole thing even though it was FISH!! We also went to a place…”
