Super fun experience! - I went with my sisters and we were delighted, the service is super professional and fun! Pablo, our guide, made us feel super safe even though we had never paddled. We loved that the photos are included. Super recommended!

Bucket List Experience - Hands down this excursion would be my top of the list recommendation for anyone traveling to Cabo. I highly recommend the sunrise slot. This Company is phenomenal. They are small, personable, responsive to questions, and just generally care about the customer experience. Being in a paddle board as the sun rises is something you will never forget. The snorkeling felt like swimming in a fish bowl with the sheer number of fish surrounding you. The guides are friendly, knowledgeable, and keep you safe while also being flexible enough to let you have the freedom to make the adventure what you want. I’m so glad that we decided to book with this Company instead of one of the big tourist companies. The experience just can’t be matched.

Paddle boarding, Arch, Lover’s Beach, Snorkeling - I had an awesome experience with this tour and the company. Sasha and Josue were very friendly and welcoming. Sasha picked us up right on time from our hotel. When we got to the beach, Josue had everything ready for to go for us. We had a pretty smooth paddle board ride out to the arch. Along the way, we saw some sea birds and had a couple of sea lions swim along side us! At the arch, Josue explained how the arch came to be and took some nice photos (for free) of me and my wife. We then made our way to Lover’s Beach to walk around for a bit. We could have stayed longer but we were ready to get to snorkeling. Paddled over to Pelican Rock and spent a good amount of time snorkeling. Saw a brunch of different fish and swam near a sea lion lying on a rock. We then made our way back and it was all amazing. I recommend starting earlier in the morning because towards the end of the snorkeling part, it started to get busier. Overall, this trip was incredible from the staff to the views and the layout of the trip. Josue kept our belongings (including our phones and change of clothes) in a dry bag with him the whole time; not a drop of water on anything. Water and snacks were provided. I would absolutely do this trip again if/when I come back to Cabo.

Paddle Boarding and Snorkeling - We had a great time on this tour with our tour guide Josue! We began by paddle boarding about a mile to the arch. While paddling, we had some sea lions come swim next to us! The tour guides take photos of you in front of the arch for no extra charge (unlike a lot of other companies in the area). We then paddled to Lover’s Beach where we were able to walk around and explore. Josue brought waters and granola bars for us to have on the beach. The beaches here are beautiful and the rock formations are incredible! We then paddled to Pelican Rock to snorkel. We were able to see sea lions on the rocks, pelicans, and a bunch of different fish! You have to wear a life jacket while paddle boarding, but you are able to take it off for snorkeling. It was nice to be able to take off the life jackets because it allowed us to dive under water and see more of the rock formations and fish! They have dry bags so we could bring our belongings without them getting wet. They provided transportation for us to and from our hotel. Our driver, Sasha, was great! She was super friendly and punctual. I definitely recommend going on an early morning tour. We went on an 8am tour and it was perfect! The water was not crowded with other tours or boats in the morning. We had great views with only a few other boats to watch out for. Snorkeling was not crowded but was starting to get busy by the time we were leaving. By the time we were paddling back to land, it was starting to get busy in the water. Overall, this was a really great tour!! The people who work here are amazing and every part of the tour was so fun!

The best part of our trip! - We spent five days in Cabo doing a variety of activities and this was by far our favorite! It was an incredible intimate experience. Our guide was amazing, and the view was unbeatable. This was the highlight for both me and my boyfriend.

Worth It!!! - This was the best part of our trip to Cabo! I have no previous experience paddle boarding and felt it was fairly easy to learn. Our guide, Pablo, was amazing. He provided interesting facts on Cabo, as well as water and some snacks. He also took pictures of us at the arch and snorkeling, which were included! I’ve gone snorkeling before, but this was way better than any other time, the reef was beautiful. Definitely do this, or their kayaking excursion on your visit!

Fantastic tour! Would do it again. - This was an amazing tour from start to finish. Easy booking process and clear communication about the hotel pickup time. The ride arrived on time in a clean and comfortable van with a very friendly driver. We arrived at the launch point, I met my guide (Fernando I believe) and after some introductions, safety info, etc we were out on the water. I got lucky and we had amazing flat water conditions that day. The first leg was a paddle out to the arch. It is not a long paddle but is beautiful. We lucked out and were the only ones at the arch. The guide was able to take some great photos (included in the tour cost) which they emailed me the next day. Yes, included photos for no extra cost! After that it was a short paddle over to the beach, where again we were lucky and were the only ones there. This beach is a popular place for a reason. It is absolutely gorgeous. After spending some time there we were then off to the snorkel location. The guide really built it up for me and it did not disappoint. There was so much marine life and the reef looked to be pretty health. I didn't notice any other tourists doing anything to damage to it which is refreshing (doesn't mean it isn't happening, but hopefully it is not). We were able to spend a good amount of time there and I was able to explore it really well. After that it's a short paddle back to land. I was sad to be done, but left so happy with everything. The van on the way back had towels on the seats too which was one more little detail that added to the overall positive impression. While I had great weather and wildlife viewing, those are things that are out of control of the tour company. The things they did have control of (itinerary, timeliness, friendliness, knowledge of the area, professionalism, etc) were done perfectly. I definitely made the right decision booking with them. Next time I am in the area I will absolutely do another tour with True Baja and would recommend them to any friends or family I have going to the area. As a solo traveller I always appreciate a tour company that doesn't price gauge when there is only one person booked. A big thank you to True Baja for taking such great care of me.

Choose this outfit for a paddle tour!! - We were inexperienced paddle boarders and our guide, Sasha, made the trip fun and safe. She was very knowledgeable about the geography and wildlife--we saw pelicans, sea lions, the astounding rock formations, and snorkeled with multitudes of beautiful fish. Highly recommend!!
