Highlights
- Blvd. Paseo de la Marina 106 - This tour is for a minimum of 2 people. The tour starts at headquarters to fit equipment and then we walk 8 minutes to the boat. Your guide will give a briefing about Best Practice behaviours before setting off to scout for huge super squadrons of mobula rays! NO SIGHTINGS ARE GUARATEED and so we snorkel for one hour at the reef during this tour so you can see some of the reef wildlife if nothing is found in the blue. When spotted, the rays swim close to the surface but also swim further down deep. If you’re an avid freediver you can head down to meet them.You will be in deep water and will be offered a life jacket. The activity involves a certain level of fitness as you will need to swim along to keep up! The captain will position himself close to the rays, but we don’t want to disturb them by moving the boat over them, so you will need to swim out a little way to meet them. Occasionally they will come to us and move around under the boat which means we can just hang there and watch! We find that 3 hours on the water is an optimal tour length and will head back in at that time. This tour is best in the morning, leaving at 7am, 7:30am or 8am. GoPro footage included for free.
What's Included
- Reef Safe Sunscreen
- Use of snorkeling equipment

A one of a kind spectacle! - This was one of the greatest experience I ever had when it comes to seeing marine animals. We saw thousands of rays, under the surface as well as jumping out of the ocean. The spectacle was really amazing.
In addition, we were lucky enough to be followed by a pod of hundreds of dolphins for almost 2 hours.
I highly recommend this boat tour as you can see a one of a kind spectacle. And the tour guide, Ophélie, was really nice and told us a lot about those marine animals.

Over 200 dolphins! - What a trip of a lifetime! The tour went smoothly and we snorkelled with Mobulas. They were incredible to see both on the boat and underwater. For lunch we docked at Isla Ceralvo which was a wonderful experience. On our way back to La Ventana, we encountered a herd of dolphins that swam with us for over an hour - it was a spectacle. Ophelia, our Cabo Private Guide, was attentive, friendly and really informative! If you are vacationing in Cabo and want a unique experience, a Cabo Private Guide tour should definitely be in your itinerary!

Mobula Ray MAGIC with Ophelie and CPG - Wow!!!! This trip blew our minds! Not only was it our first time witnessing the Mobula Ray Aggregation (they even put on a spectacle for us - jumping and flipping out of the ocean) but we also saw a huge pod of dolphins from our boat and followed them for about an hour! Ophelie was an amazing guide and the whole trip flowed from start to finish! Thank you to the whole team at Cabo Private Guide. We will defo be booking again soon :D

10/10 service - Unfortunately we only saw a handful of Mobula rays, we just got unlucky. But we didn’t even mind too much because Filipe and Brandon, our guides, we’re incredibly knowledgeable of the area and really amazing to chat with. Our captain was outstanding, on the lookout the whole morning for anything we could jump into the water with. All of their excitement and energy really made it incredible. Even though we only saw a couple, I would still 100% recommend this to all of my friends. The teams commitment to making your morning incredible is really impressive and lovely to experience.

Great Memory! - Anna and Angel were the best! So kind and patient. Passionate about locating and swimming with the Mobula rays. Hope to be back to book a whale watching tour sometime soon!

Cabo Private Guide is the way to go! - Despite a slight issue with the first boat (which just made it more of an adventure), this was a fantastic trip. The water was a bit too warm to snorkel with a school of mobula rays, but we were able to see some jumping as well as some of the larger rays. Because of this, we headed to the reef where we had a great snorkel and saw some really amazing fish, at least two rays, a shark, and an eel, as well as being able to enjoy the beauty of the reef. Antonio was an excellent guide. He had a great eye for finding the sea life and also got some great pics and video. Excellent tour company, less commercial than most of the places we saw (which was better in my book).

Snorkeling tour! - Great experience with guide Felipe! My girlfriend and I enjoyed our very first snorkeling adventure and I'd recommend a private guide for beginners and veterans. You can't beat the knowledge, attention and patience. It's nice to snorkel at your own pace. Would recommend cabo private guide to everyone 10/10. Complimentary GoPro footage and a swim to the beach was a nice touch, this group cares that you have an experience to remember. We wish we booked the longer tour!

Recommend 100% - We just got back from 2 awesome days with Cabo Private Guide.
The first day was a 2 tank local dive at Pelican Rock and Neptune's finger. Highlight was the massive school of mobula rays.
Second day, we did a day trip out to Cabo Pulmo. We went looking for bull sharks and we scored big time. At least 6 of them but likely more individuals at different points. The other dive in CP was at El Bajo with an insane amount of fish of every size.
The owner Laura is really cool and super safe.
I would definitely recommend diving with them when you're in Cabo
