Famed as one of the planet’s most stunning locations for spotting whales, the Sea of Cortez is frequently referred to as Mexico’s Aquarium due to its rich biodiversity. For keen whale watchers, booking a private tour in Cabo between December and April is recommended, as this is when humpback whales flock to Cabo for breeding and birthing.

A quickie if you’re pressed for time! - Alvaro, capitan Daniel and Patricio were funny dudes and super chill. If you want a quick trip out to see the arch and do a little bit of snorkeling they got you covered. Straight forward tour! I went solo and so happened to have the boat to myself!

AMAZING! - So happy we decided to do this! The tour guides were so awesome and fun (and good eye candy -haha). The captain was great. They did a wonderful job at making us feel safe and informed. We were having so much fun with them that we wanted them to jump in on our group photos. It was overall an amazing experience with good company and beautiful views. It was also my first time snorkeling and I can't wait to do it again.

Snorkeling in Cabo San Lucas - Patrick & the captain whose name I unfortunately forgot (maybe started with D or C) were nice & friendly. They gave use some history on the different beaches and landmark. Snorkeling was a workout for me, I think the fins weighed me down, but Patrick was by our side and helped me when I got tired. Meanwhile my sister was swimming like a mermaid. Overall I would recommend and do it again…without the fins.

Just what we wanted. Quick photo op and plenty of time in the Sea. - Exactly what we were looking for. One hour with a quick tour of the arch and then in the Sea of Cortez to snorkel. There were plenty of fish and reef to explore. My daughter loves to free dive and this was the perfect time and place. It was nice not to have crowds of people around. Brian swam with us and took some wonderful video which we really appreciated. It was nice to have someone guide us where things were and then just let us explore.

Great tour but no photos included - The tour was very nice and flexible with the crazy weather that week. Unfortunately, I took off a few stars because we did not receive the photos that were included in the tour. I was told it was due to the weather prior but the day we went out it was sunny and nice. My friend snapped a few photos that were clear with no problems. We relied on the tour taking the rest of the photos. Just disappointed as this was one of the highlights for my 40th birthday celebration.

False advertisement - Listed as a PRIVATE tour but it's not. Had to share it with other people. You're at the arch for about 2 minute at best. And then circle around other spots that no one has any real interest but is part of the path. Snorkeling was okay but the masks were scratched up so it was hard to really see. We paid $45 for the photo/video package and they came out horrible. The longest video was a minute and 45 seconds of nothing. He probably accidentally pushed record. Other videos were literally half a second to 3 seconds long and sped up. The pictures were either super blurry or of nothing. To pay $45 for maybe one good shot is not worth it and I reached out for a refund because that was just bad overall.

Find someone else for this type of tour. - The tour starts in a cramped area on the beach where there is barely any room to walk (we took the tour beginning of August). The clerk is fine and the check in is at a booth. However once you get on the boat, the tour guide who’s the captain and only person on the boat didn’t really give much of a tour. He just mentioned the cave, the beaches names and the arch; no background whatsoever. Once we were on the boat he never made mention of the life jackets nor the snorkel equipment. We had to reach over to grab the jacket ourselves one we were moving; the water was choppy which made it pretty hard. Every time the guide was trying to talk more about the tour, he got many phone calls which made it little to impossible for him to focus on either driving the boat or giving a tour. Snorkeling wasn’t great either from the guide’s point of view but you can only fit so many words here.
