A great whale watching experience - This was a perfect mix of whale watching and a booze cruise 'light'.
The staff was amazing and I really like how they respect the whales and don't get on top of them like others do. Having said that, we got to see a mother an calf surface right in front of us!

Awesome experience and fairly priced !! - Great experience! We had a leisurely Catamaran ride and tour of the Arch, Lover's Beach, and several whale sites (where mom's were teaching their calves to surface). The crew was ample (captain, first mate, bartender, and server) and were all polite, humorous but professional, and attentive to our every need. We were served quality drinks from point of departure to docking. We were served sub sandwiches (these were really good subs!!!) and chips/drinks of choice. We observed whales for over an hour ... likely 90 minutes but we were totally immersed in the beautiful waters, famous landmarks, personal picture taking opportunities, and whale watching. Further, their picture package was only $35 whereas other tour companies we used were asking far more (ridiculous) prices. We would/will happily sign up for another tour whenever we are in Cabo San Lucas. Thank you Pez Gato !!

Great tour! - Had an amazing experience with lots of whales showing off their breaching skills and fin slapping! Nacho was a great guide. The crew was generous with serving everyone with beverages and snacks. Pezgato is very mindful of the environment and asked everyone on board to be careful with their food and packaging to make sure nothing fell in the water.

Wonderful Whale Watching - Fabulous whale watching experience on the Pez Gato. Crew was superb! Ivan narrated the experience with great skill and a sense of humor. The Captain was respectful of the whales and didn’t chase them but gave us fantastic viewing opportunities nonetheless. The trip‘s highlight was a whale breaching in close proximity to our boat! Can’t wait to go out on the Pez Gato again.

Fun while whale watching - The cruise was a lot of fun and not anything like more scientific cruises we have been on. This was like party boat meets whale watching. Music blasted and everyone of all ages seemed to be enjoying themselves. The included beverage turned out to be an open bar, and the snack was a spread of good sandwiches. Both were pleasant surprises. So, while there appeared to be no scientific equipment to find the whales, we found them anyways and enjoyed breaching whales from a distance and a few close up. This was a catamaran, so expect to get wet if the waves are big. All in all, this was a fun trip that we would go on again.

Cruise ship customers: Beware! - We (11 of us) booked this whale watching cruise at least 2 months in advance. It was scheduled to depart 1 hour after our ship was scheduled to dock. Our ship was delayed. I contacted Pez Gato the afternoon before our arrival to inform them of our delay. Basically, I was told there are no refunds if you are late and we are not waiting for you. As I estimated that their boats hold around 12 people, we constituted an entire boat (11 in our party). That's a significant amount of money. We arrived at the office as instructed 19 minutes late and were again told that there are no refunds and no boat. No assistance in obtaining another boat.... We walked out to the docks, found a wonderful boat for $20 each and had a wonderful tour. Pez Gato could have done the same for us and still had a hefty profit and happy customers. Instead, we are very unhappy.
