Luis and Alan are amazing! - What a great snorkeling trip to Santa Maria and Chileno Bay. The fish were amazing and they offered wet suits as the water in early April was a little cold. They picked us up from our resort in San Jose del Cabos and brought us right back. I would highly recommend it. Alan and Luis are the best guides

Best part of Cabo - Emilio was great, very friendly and helpful, and speaks excellent english, which for us was a plus having limited spanish knowledge. Bring a waterproof case so you can take video and photos in the water.

Spectacular attention all the time. - It was an excellent experience, if you don't even know how to swim he has a lot of patience with you but you enjoy it 100% as if you did it every day.

Fun morning excursion! - Great experience with Emilio! We did the 9 AM snorkel tour and had them pick us up at tour resort. We saw so many fish in both locations. Santa Maria was not busy at all when we arrived and the water was very clear and relatively still. Chileno was much busier and colder. Bring an underwater camera, if you can! I think it saved a lot of time that we could just walk out into the water instead of getting on a boat to be shuttled around. They had water, granola bars, snorkel gear, wetsuits and rash guards available. We just brought our own towels. Consider water shoes. The beaches are quite rocky.

Great family activity that focuses on snorkeling not alcohol - Our guide was Emilio. He was fantastic. The tour was perfect for our family. We had one kid that was questioning whether or not to go snorkeling but the van ride to the beach and going in from the beach versus going off a boat was perfect because it allowed her to decide how deep ahead wanted to go. Also love the small group (total of 6 on our tour) and the non-spring breaker/booze cruise experience.

Great Experience - We had a great time on this tour! Maury & Paco were patient, helpful & informative, and we really enjoyed our time with them. We saw some whales when we were kayaking, and lots of colorful fish during the snorkeling excursion. Highly recommend!

Amazing Experience - We had a great time and Luis was amazing! We got picked up from our hotel and ended up being the only ones on the tour. The amount of time spent at each beach was just right and we saw tons of fish. Luis had a great energy and really made our trip great!

Save your money - Misread tour as it comes up under sail search so we thought on a boat to access snorkelling. That’s on us, but tour is really just a pick up and dump at each beach. Guide says snorkel out there and sits and does nothing or yaks on phone. All in all, not worth anything close to what they are charging and I cannot recommend. Snorkelling itself was ok… nothing great.
