We had a wonderful time. Our cruise ship was delayed and we were going to miss our tour so this company worked with us to get us an amazing experience. Saw all the cool fish while snorkeling. Got some great stories about the rock formations and how lover's beach came to be. 10/10 would recommend!

Perfect snorkel tour

Jessica_J, Apr 2024

We had a great time! We saw all types of beautiful fish and enjoyed seeing the famous lands end arch! The water was still chilly when we went in April so they provided wetsuits if we wanted them. Overall, it was a wonderful tour!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Although the water during this season can still be a little cold, it also brings many different species to see, different types of rays arrive and there is a great variety of fish. We do everything to make you feel comfortable and give you the best equipment to enjoy as never before. Thank you for brightening our day with your presence

Family friendly, great guides, fun snorkel!

Robyn_M, Apr 2024

Very knowledgeable guides. Fun boat tour around the Arch. Provided wetsuits and snorkel gear. They snorkeled with us and told us about each fish. Very friendly and helpful with our kids, ages 14, 11, 8. Chuy was especially great with our 8 year old- towed her around on a swim ring when the ocean scared her and told her when to look down. He knew every fish when my 11 year old asked, and taught her some beginner free dive tricks when she wanted to go down for a closer look. Highly recommend for any families looking for an easy snorkel trip that is the perfect length for kids. Thanks for giving my kids a great first snorkel experience!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

In the snorkeling tour you can have a beautiful experience with the whole family, it is a suitable environment for children to enjoy watching different tropical fish and many colorful species. Your family deserves the best experience Thank you very much for letting us know what you think and thank you for coming.

Perfect for young families

Kelly_H, Apr 2024

Angela our instructor and Jonathan our captain were magnificent. They made us feel safe, comfortable and our time more enjoyable. Perfect tour for young families; not too long, enough action and excitement for everyone

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We focus on the safety and enjoyment of each dive, we like to read you and know that the goal has been accomplished. Thank you very much for choosing us, it has been amazing to assist you.

Perfect lil tour

Patty_M, Apr 2024

Beautiful tour! The fish were vibrant and abundant, and we got super lucky seeing a whale! Our tour guide was friendly, funny, and made us all at ease on the boat and in the water.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

The marine life in Cabo dazzles with its beauty and diversity, it is good to know that you have seen and enjoyed it with our crew. Thanks for coming, keep diving

Saw so many cool fish!

DorathyAnn_H, Mar 2024

Response from Host, Mar 2024

We adapt for a way to make sure you don't miss the experience, we want you to live the snorkeling tour and get to know the amazing rock formations with us. Thank you for coming

Manta has its rep for a reason!

Tucker_A, Nov 2023

Went out with Nahuel (might be butchering that), couldn’t have been a nicer guy. Super cool and very enthusiastic about the ocean and his job. We took a sightseeing trip out to the arches and around, and then came back a bit to a dive spot off Lover’s Beach.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

We are excited to hear from you and glad to hear that you had a great time with us. Come back soon

Cabo Snorkeling

Martha_N, Oct 2023

The best snorkeling company I’ve used in Cabo, in the past 8 years. They are professional, friendly and patient! They offer great deals, and you can snorkel or dive from the same boat. Great for beginners. Our guide Cesar and Captain Flash were the best! I highly recommend them I give them a 10 out of 10.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

We will accommodate you so that every activity is as you require and you have an amazing experience. Thank you for commenting and let us know what you think of our service. It was a pleasure

Great guide and captain!...

Jonathan_B, Aug 2023

Great guide and captain! Very relaxing and enjoyable experience! Would do again anytime gladly! Very professional and safe.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We would be very happy to have you coming again, we will be here for you when you decide to visit Cabo in the future Thank you for choosing us

A Must-Do In Cabo

John_K, Aug 2023

We did a tour with Ceasar, who was an excellent guide! He showed us the local points of interest including the famous Arch, pointed out fish species to look out for, and generally made us feel at ease. The fish were abundant and curious. There were times when the fish would completely surround us! Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Water activities in Cabo are a must, the sea creatures are used to see divers and snorkelers, so we always recommend to take care of them and do not disturb them to continue enjoying their presence We are glad you have seen them and shared good times. Thank you for coming, it is a pleasure to hear from you and read that you liked our service.

Extremely fun activity with genuine guidance

Henna_D, May 2023

César was very helpful. My husband and I were snorkeling for the first time but he made sure we were comfortable and relaxed throughout. The experience itself is pretty surreal. Beautiful marine life to be explored down under. If you don’t care for the food/drinks/party cruise and interested in the activity mostly, go for this experience.

Response from Host, May 2023

We are very excited to read you and thank you for giving us your confidence to do this activity for the first time. Thank you for providing us your opinion and joining us in this trip, come back soon.

Nice guide, not so many fish.

Martha_S, May 2023

Guide was pleasant. Fish were lack luster. One of our party was stung by jelly fish multiples times. We were not questioned if anyone was wearing contacts, this persons mask fit poorly and they were unable to stay in water due to eye irritation. A wet suit was provided which was nice. The water was pretty but we saw little variety of fish. Our party had toured the area via glass bottom boat a different day and saw so many fish. That we didn't while snorkeling was disappointing.

Response from Host, May 2023

We are sorry for the jellyfish sting Our instructors are very attentive to your needs. Unfortunately we cannot control nature, this is an area full of marine life, however, there may be days when the fauna changes its route, even so, in general, the probabilities of seeing many species during the snorkeling are high.

Pleasant and professional, 10/10 would snorkel again

Leah_S, Mar 2023

I really enjoyed the guidance and patience that Cecil had for us - a very sweet, snorkel guide, and an overall pleasant experience. Next time I'll come when the water is warmer. :)

Response from Host, Mar 2023

We look forward to seeing you in the summer when the water temperature is really warm, we are glad to read your opinion. Thank you for choosing Manta

We had a Great...

Michelle_C, Jan 2023

We had a Great experience! Water was really rough! But still lots of fun, guides were wonderful, easy to locate on foot

Response from Host, Jan 2023

During winter, conditions can get rough when the wind comes, but we managed to do very well on the dives and enjoy the marine life together. Thanks for coming, it was amazing to dive with you,

Excellent Snorkel experience

Meagan_C, Dec 2022

We did a snorkel tour followed by a boat tour out to the arch and Pacific Ocean. Our guide was Angela and she was amazing! She took our two boys out to snorkel and stayed with them the whole time, showed them all the good spots to see fish and taught my adventurous son how to free dive - they loved it! We were on a smaller boat with just one other couple so it was a nice personal experience. MANTA is a scuba facility as well so they were very knowledgeable and made sure gear fit properly and how to safely snorkel. There were lots of boat tours that have snorkel stops and equipment, but I’m really glad we went with a specialized diving company. It was a great value as well.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

We want you to enjoy every moment of your aquatic activity and that your expectations are completely fulfilled so that you take home the best memories. Thank you for venturing into snorkeling with us.

PERFECT TRIP!

Hayley_T, Aug 2022

Absolutely LOVED this excursion. Perfect amount of time to be in the water snorkeling & relaxing on the beach! BRING A WATERPROOF PHONE CASE! SO many beautiful fish & amazing scenery. Brandon was our guide & he was awesome. After we snorkeled we took a short cruise over to the arches & we got some background on the area. It was so nice! 10/10 recommend.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

We were delighted to enjoy your company in our dive center and while snorkeling. We were happy to assist you during the snorkeling tour, it is a great activity for the whole family. Thank you for coming to enjoy Cabo and its views with us.

It was basically a scam

Brian_H, Aug 2022

I was told to come in early for my 2pm tour (which I did). I was then told that the tour would leave in 30 minutes at 1:45, and that I could go grab some food and come back. I wasn't hungry, so I just waited outside for the tour. I came back in around 1:30, and was informed that "the boat had already left" and that "there was no more boats" for the day. Viator was not super helpful in dealing with this (I kept getting disconnected from the chat). Functionally I just got scammed out of 60 dollars, but that seems to be the norm for businesses in Cabo.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

We deeply regret you feel this way but despiste a few errors in time details on your narrative, we never intend to scam anyone and for over 20 years in Cabo we've really cared abour our clients and will keep on. Unfortunately un this case, the final point is that you don't even get to try our services and we would truly wanted to take you snorkeling as it was programed, no matter it was a last minute booking or whom you book through, but unfortunately the timing didn't work and even when we offered reescheduling for another day as there were no later trips going out that day, you declined. However, you're more than welcome for another snorkeling trip in compensation so you'll be able to try and evaluate our services on your next trip to Cabo. Hope to see you soon!

Overall good trip

Jeffrey_T, Aug 2022

Everyone at Manta was excellent, very friendly and accomodating. 4 stars because the snorkeling site was overly crowded with other tourists.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you for joining our activities. We thank you for taking the time to write your opinion.

Top excursion in Cabo

KALPANA_T, Jul 2022

Snorkeling with Manta was an amazing experience. Our guide, Cesar, was incredibly experienced and made us feel so comfortable. He was truly passionate about Cabo’s aquatic life and we had an unforgettable time. We even saw a sea lion!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Snorkeling in Cabo is a great option for your vacation, as the water conditions are generally very good and it is suitable for all the family. We are glad to hear that you have seen many marine species and enjoyed your activity. Thank you for choosing us

Great snorkeling trip

Stephanie_F, May 2022

Snorkeling was great, saw a decent amount of fish! We traveled with another couple and we got the boat all to ourselves which was amazing! Brandon our guide was really nice and personable! Would definitely recommend snorkeling with MANTA!

Response from Host, Jun 2022

There is a lot of marine life to see every time you go in the water here This area is incredible, it is the aquarium of Mexico and we are very proud to take care of it so we can show you what we see every day. We are glad that you enjoyed the tour with our team and truly appreciate your recommendation. Thank you for taking the time to send it!

Sea sick, but great!

Dione_M, Nov 2021

It was lovely. The water was great, the visibility was perfect and our host was lovely. My fiend got SUPER sick while snorkeling and our guide Lucy immediately got her back to the boat. Then I got sick on the boat too :( the captain noticed how horrible we were feeling and got us a taxi back to the dock. We were so very thankful for thei hospitality. I would 100% recommend and would do it again in a heart beat.

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Thank you for letting us know about your experience despite the discomfort of seasickness, it is one of the hazards of going on nautical activities. We hope to give you a better experience next time We are willing to provide you with the best service and activities Thank you for recommending us and choosing us
