★★★★★★★★★★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.”

Izzy, Nayeli, and the rest of the crew were amazing and accommodating.
