Itinerary Breakdown and What You Can Expect

From there, you’ll board a colorful catamaran—a vessel designed for fun, with plenty of space for relaxing or dancing to onboard music.

The first stop is Santa Maria Bay, one of Cabo’s most picturesque spots with clear, calm waters ideal for snorkeling. The snorkel gear is provided, so you don’t need to worry about bringing your own equipment.

The tour concludes back at the original meeting point after roughly three hours. It’s a short but packed adventure that captures a slice of Cabo’s coastal charm.

Value and Experience

The $89 price point includes most essentials: snorkeling equipment, snacks, unlimited drinks, and a tour guide. This makes it a good value for travelers wanting a social, scenic, and active experience without breaking the bank.
However, some reviews highlight logistical issues. One reviewer recounts, “When I booked this activity, everything was fine. I received confirmation and was all set. The day of my activity, I left my hotel to head over to the meeting point. I received a call from a member of the company asking me where I was.” This suggests travelers should confirm meeting details and be prepared for possible last-minute communication.
The Good: Views, Vibe, and Inclusivity

The scenic coastal views are undoubtedly a highlight. Many travelers comment on the stunning vistas of Santa Maria Bay and the general beauty of Cabo’s shoreline from the water. These sights are best enjoyed with a drink in hand and some lively music in the background.

The inclusion of snorkeling gear and snacks simplifies planning. You won’t have to worry about bringing your own equipment or packing extra food, which adds to the overall convenience.
The Not-So-Good: Logistics and Reviews

While the experience offers a lot, some travelers report issues that could affect your enjoyment. One review describes a stressful moment where a staff member called to ask where they were, which suggests that clearer communication about meeting times or instructions would improve the experience.
Plus, as this tour is popular and booked in advance, the group size can reach up to 50 people, which might feel crowded for some. If you prefer a more intimate experience, this could be a drawback.
