Los Cabos Luxury Sailing, Snorkel and Lunch Cruise

1.Los Cabos Luxury Sailing, Snorkel and Lunch Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,515 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $149Our pick

Sail from San Jose del Cabo toward Santa Maria or Chileno Bay, snorkel, paddleboard, and enjoy lunch with an open bar. The small boat carries up to 16 people, with crew members such as Cesar, Israel, Michelle, and Captain Poncho praised for warm service and good wildlife spotting.

“Absolute scam. I booked a boat trip through Viator for 12pm. Unfortunately, flights changed, and we changed the reservations to 3pm. We showed up for our tour, and Cabos Adventures told us that our trip was sold out and they refused to help us find another boat trip. They also refused to send a formal email confirming that they cancelled our trip to help us get our money back. Absolutely disrespectful. I don’t recommend anyone come to this tour company.”

“At first I was a little disappointed and almost didn't do it as at first glance it wasn't what I expected. So glad I did it as it was a phenomenal experience. Izzy, Nayeli, and the rest of the crew were amazing and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience and the views are definitely something to put on your bucket list. I loved every single second of it from the cocktails, music Playlist and atmosphere. There are other tours as well so if possible see if you can request this crew personally. I'm sure everyone else is great too but I definitely…”

Once you get on the boat there are two levels of the boat to sit on, but the top of the boat is more for dancing. Both floors have bars and most alcohol is free. Towards the end of the boat ride they provide free tacos but they run out fast so get in line as soon as you can. My friends and were able to get some beautiful pictures of the view. They go towards the Arch and then eventually park the boat near the shore by the Riu…”

“I booked this sunset cruise in Los Cabos through Viator as a special gift for my mother’s 65th birthday, expecting a relaxing and scenic experience as shown in the pictures. While the music and staff were pleasant, the rest of the cruise was extremely disappointing. The boat was uncomfortable, with limited seating, and worst of all, it was completely covered, which made it impossible to even see the sunset—the whole reason we booked the tour. My mother and aunt didn’t get to enjoy the sunset at all, which was heartbreaking given that this was supposed to be a meaningful and memorable part of our trip. This cruise looked nothing like…”
