Reviews
Had a great time snorkeling! The tour guides Pepè and Louie were fantastic and took the time to help people who were new to snorkeling get adjusted to the water. They pulled up right at 2pm across from OXXO as indicated in the directions. Tip of the day-we only went to one beach, for a 3 hour tour I recommend it. 5/5 would book again. (side note-called to “confirm” our reservation but the number listed kept ringing and no one picked up. However when we messaged the tour on TripAdvisor they responded immediately)
It was a wonderful experience that even my teens enjoyed. It was great to be driven to these popular beaches and not have to worry about parking. Equipment was provided and cleaned thoroughly. Our tour guide (sorry, can't remember his name) totally took care of us - ensuring our equipment was on correctly, setting up a large umbrella in the sand to keep each party shielded from the sun and literally watching us from the beach to make sure we were in the correct area and safe. Highly recommend!
Wonderful experience with knowledgeable guide who know where to take us to see the best sea life. Would highly recommend.
Maury took us to the Chileno bay and Santa Maria cove. Initially the water was very murky and it was very difficult to see anything. Maury alerted the group to move to another area where everything became clear. I used my GO Pro and got some excellent footage. Maury was very experience and obviously knew the water well.
This was a fantastic tour that focused on the snorkeling experience and not the party on the boat. Carlos and Emilio were top notch guides that shared their knowledge of snorkeling and of the local sea life. We saw and learned so much while having the time and freedom to do some exploring on our own. Equipment was in pristine condition and Carlos and Emilio ensured our comfort and safety at all times. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a high quality snorkeling experience.
This excursion was exactly what we were looking for - a small group and snorkelling from 2 great beaches (no booze cruise required!). Carlos and Emilio were fantastic guides. They were knowledgeable and organized, and we had freedom to explore, lots of time in the water.
This was an awesome quick snorkeling excursion! Our tour guides were amazing, they were very nice, personable, and informative. They made sure that safety precautions were taken - such as bringing water and granola bars, staying beside us during the kayak out to the snorkeling spot, and making sure our life jackets and snorkeling gear were properly adjusted. The day of our tour the waters at Chileno Bay and Santa Maria were very choppy so they took us to Pelican Rock instead, where we got to see manta rays, many colorful fish, an eel, and a sea lion that swam right under us.
They encouraged photos if we had an waterproof camera, but even though we didn’t, they took photos on their GoPro during the kayaking that turned out awesome! (GoPro pics attached). We had a lot of fun for and highly recommend this trip if you want a short fun excursion!
We went snorkeling in Chileno Bay 11/30/22 with Pepe and his coworker/friend for the first time and It was magical! They were great guides and I felt like I went back to my mother’s womb in the water. I had the most zen experience. All my worries and trouble just melted away. We highly recommend Pepe and his friend as tour guides for snorkeling or anything really. They were chill and the most cool. Thanks guys!
Went on the snorkeling tour.
Pros: pickup from hotel in Los Cabos included. Very nice snorkeling and all gear included. Very pleasant guides. Got a private tour of one side of the reef because most of the other participants didn’t want to stay as long in the water. Luis was great!
Picked up at 8, back at hotel at 12:30 with about 45 minutes of driving at each end, so about 3 hours on the beach.
To clarify the snorkeling is all from the beach, no boats. Not a bad thing and it seems that most of the good snorkeling around here is close to shore anyway.
Cons: I get cold in the water (I’m an experienced snorkeler) and I know the water is warm (80 degrees) but I would have appreciated the option of a shorty wetsuit. Not a huge deal but I would have been a bit more comfortable with one.
Food and drink is as advertised, just water and granola bars. It’s fine, it’s what they promised but don’t expect more! It helps keep the tour cost low and you don’t need a lot of food for 4 hours. Bring a snack if you want one.
My guides were Hugo and Luis. Very pleasant, great English. Luis took GoPro pictures and videos of me and then they airdropped them to my phone at the end of the tour which was fantastic! So cool to have good pictures of myself snorkeling!
Thanks for a great trip. I will definitely come back with the family!
My wife and I loved the experience for a couple of reasons, firstly the water is clear and amazing the bays have a lot to offer. However, without an amazing guide we would not have enjoyed it as much. We were extremely lucky to have Jose (pepe) as our guide. He was patient, informative and helpful.
