Private Cabo San Lucas snorkeling cruise to Santa Maria Bay with open bar, lunch, paddleboards, and possible whale sightings.
“This was one of the best excursions we’ve ever done. Not only did we see multiple whales, dolphins and a hammerhead shark, but the crew were beyond attentive to us with drinks, food and anything else we could need during the 3 hours we were on the boat!”
3-hour Cabo catamaran with Arch-of-Cabo photo stop and 1-hour Chileno Bay water time. Snorkel, drinks, snacks.
“Choose a different company to snorkel with! I would not ever recommend doing a snorkeling tour with this particular company. The crew was rude as soon as we got on the boat, especially the guy who takes the photos. The photographer took 6, maybe 7 photos of us and asked for $50 US dollars! $50! America is expensive but even they don’t ask for $50 for 6-7 pictures. The photos were nice and we wanted to buy them but there was no way we were going to pay that and be able to get back to our hotel. I should also share that we are a Black family. I asked…”
Taste La Paz street food with a small English-speaking guide, visiting markets and landmarks, plus history of Baja California on a 3-4 hour walk.
“We had such a nice time with Juan. We enjoyed learning about the history of Lapaz and the foods that we were eating. There were many beautiful murals to view as we ate and explored the city. Juan was knowledgeable, very easy to understand (English) and friendly. We ate at places we never would have stopped at if we hadn’t been with Juan. We had a wonderful experience! Thank you, Juan!”
A private 3-hour Cabo sunset cruise for up to 10, with homemade margaritas, great crew service, and landmark views like El Arco.
“Fernando and Ali made sure me and my girlfriend had a wonderful experience. It exceeded our expectations on all fronts. Although the price was quite spending compared to other boats in Cabo (by A LOT), Fernando and Ali made it worth the price. I’d highly recommend.”
3-4 hour La Paz taco trail from cathedral and art museum to tastings, 6 pm start, $107 with food and one drink.
“We enjoyed our taco tour of La Paz. Our guide was friendly and informative. It was a nice way to see the city and experience places we wouldn’t on our own. My only issue is I don’t think we got our money’s worth. The price of the tour should include either more food or a drink at each location. We did not leave hungry but having to spend $100 each, we didn’t eat more than 20 dollars worth of food. We had three tacos and some guacamole. With the additional cost for drinks it was a $300 meal for two and all we ate were a few tacos. Don’t get…”
A 3.5-hour intro scuba session in Cabo San Lucas with a certified instructor, small group, and clear Sea of Cortez water up to 100 feet.
“Absolutely amazing!!! Guides were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Would highly recommend!!”
La Paz 10-hour Gray Whale Journey with pickup, breakfast, and 3 hours in Bahía Almejas. Small group, expert guide, private boat.
“Vanessa is very knowledgeable about gray whale and other ocean mammals. She told us a lot about grey whale. One thing I suggest is to contact the customer one day before the tour day to confirm the pickup time especially they have to pick up multiple customers.”
Morning hike to the Hidden Arch of Los Cabos, with off-road transfer, expert guide on Baja nature, and burritos at Quelele.
“I didn’t receive the service I paid $250 USD for — and when I politely requested to reschedule IN ADVANCE, they flat-out refused. No effort to accommodate, no flexibility, no customer service. Just a quick dismissal and a condescending message trying to justify keeping the full payment. They even compared the situation to “missing a flight,” which is completely absurd. For the record, I didn’t just vanish — I reached out, communicated that I needed to reschedule, and expected (at the very least) a reasonable solution. Any reputable business would offer that. Instead, they used that ridiculous analogy to wash their hands of any responsibility and keep the money. This…”
First class snorkeling with whale sharks off La Paz for small groups, with wetsuit gear, GoPro documentation, and private boat and transport.
“Absolutely amazing! Loved how much they truly care about the animal and make sure it is okay before anything else. If you’re thinking about booking this trip, you’ve already over thought it. Just hit the book button and I promise you will love it.”
2-tank certified scuba sessions near Cabo San Lucas, shipwrecks, caves, sand falls, turtles, and clear warm Sea of Cortes waters.
“The pick up and drop off were on time and flawless! This was the cleanest and most organized boat I have been on for diving. Our guide was amazing!”
Private 3-hour Cabo snorkeling and glass-bottom Arch tour with sea lions, Lover’s Beach time, and snorkeling gear plus water.
“Great experience. Started a little late, but they were very accommodating as I booked last minute. Tour guide Vaymar was great. Great conversationalist and humorist. We decided to cut the trip a little short as many of the couples we were with don’t do well in the water, but it was a great trip nonetheless.”
