Highly recommended trip… small boat much better than big boats - Excellent trip out with Juan. Small boat, very good pace, good commentary on wildlife and scenery, very friendly. We took the 5pm boat. Just two of us. Highly recommended. By the way, the glass bottom is a bit of a joke. Don’t have any expectations to see anything. It doesn’t really matter.

Perfect ending to our vacation! - We had a great time on our tour to the arch! It was kind of a last minute decision and we are so glad we decided on going with this company for a tour in our last night in Cabo. Edgar our tour guide was fantastic… gave us a lot of really cool info during the tour, made us laugh a lot and took amazing pictures of our family of 10! Our captain was excellent also! A perfect ending to a wonderful vacation. Highly recommend!

Nice views. Meh overall. - This experience was a bit unorganized. When we arrived at the dock, there was no one ready for our appointment. We were told to come back. Pushed us back 30 minutes. Not a clear bottom boat. Good for getting to see the arch and back quickly.

Unable to Locate departure - We arrived at Dock 1 but couldn't locate our excursion. No Viator sign and 2 independent tour guides there generously tried to help but only said that we need to know the independent tour guide Viator is using.

Scam - We were expecting a glass bottom boat but this boat just had two small port hole windows inside a storage bin. Also the tour guide was not there and used a third party who seemed very confused. This was not worth the money so we got off, not what I believed I was paying for. Then the tour guide who was supposed to be there called me and wanted to charge me $30 more per person for the boat we wanted a said no refund on the other. We declined and walked to dock P where we got a full clear boat ride that was awesome for $20 per person for a really cool one hour tour. Giving two stars only because they were polite outside trying to be con-men.
