This was super fun! Bryan and Louis were great guides. They were very sweet and friendly and made sure everyone had a good time. We kyaked about a mile and a half from Maria Beach to Chilino beach. As first time kyaker it was quite a workout but the views were well worth it. Once at the Chilino beach we snorkeled around for about an hour and saw a huge amount of all kinds of fish. I highly recommend this as a snorkeling spot and this tour as a must do.

Fantastic kayak and snorkeling

Good morning workout!
Tracy_W, Feb 2024
Paco and Miguel were great! They answered a lot of questions and were friendly and personable. It was too rough to kayak at playa Santa maria so we kayaked to los arcos and they snorkled at pelícanos. There wasnt much of a beach there sadly, but the kayaking was good. I was really looking forward to playa sta Maria and chilenos, but I'm glad I got to see a bit of los Cabos and los Arcos.

Hassle free Kayak and Snorkeling- ideal!
Laura_I, Jan 2024
Emilio & Luis were our group leaders and they were outstanding. Literally every detail imaginable is taken care of. We had wide range of abilities in our group and they met everyone’s needs seamlessly. Kayaking was very fun and snorkeling at the next bay was absolutely amazing! Perfect way to start the day, can’t recommend highly enough.

Kayaking had to end early
Ann_R, Jan 2024
We had people in our party had not kayaked much and went through a rocky area that needed timing to get through. The couple ended up capsizing in a rocky area with waves and currents. Both had difficulty getting back on board and exhausted. We went back to cove. The area was difficult and probably the guide should not have taken us through there. The guides were prompt picking us up. Very organized and personable.
Response from Host, Jan 2024

Jade_G, Dec 2023
This was so fun! Nico and Carlos were wonderful and accommodating. They even cater the experience by assessing water conditions and can even cater to the group if you have kids or older people in your group. They are knowledgeable and make you feel safe. Very fun and we saw lots of fish! Snorkeling was awesome

Best decision ever!!
Kristin_D, Mar 2023
The excursion was amazing but Carlos made it phenomenal!! We were so lucky to have him as our guide. He went the extra mile over and over to make sure we got the experience we wanted and kept us safe in the water. Definitely would do it again and try other excursions with Carlos as well!!
Response from Host, Mar 2023
It makes us very happy that you enjoyed the ride with Carlos to the fullest, he is undoubtedly a great guide by his side, you will be safe and well informed, we hope to see you again in sunny Cabo. Warm regards HT Team
A fantastic experience!
Jane_C, Feb 2023
Saw , up close and personal, several whales. We were able to get relatively close to them because we were not in a large noisy boat. Our guide, Michael, who was on a paddle board, was fun , a great guide, super friendly and informative (with perfect English). The snorkeling in Chileno Bay was amazing . We loved our experience and plan to repeat it when we return.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
We are pleased to read that you had a pleasant day, the marine life that the season offers us is impressive and Michael is a great guide. We hope to see you very soon. Team HT
Safe and excellent experience
Katie_L, Oct 2022
We really enjoyed out experience with High Tide. The kayaking was very enjoyable and was not too difficult to get from one point to the other, took us about 40 minutes. Snorkeling was also a blast. Our guide took us out and showed us lots of cool things while snorkeling. I always felt safe and the guides were very knowledgeable! I highly recommend. You get your money's worth!
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Thank you for your nice words, we are glad to have been part of your vacation, your safety will always be our priority. We hope you visit us again to enjoy more adventures. Warm regards HT Team
Fun tour by great guides
Russell_B, Jul 2022
Had a great time on this excursion! Maury and his partner (forgot his name) we’re great guides! They spend time fully explaining the process and risks and ensured we had a safe and fun time. They didn’t rush us through the tour and it was the perfect amount of time split between the kayaks and the snorkeling. Would absolutely do it again!
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Without a doubt, Maury and David are excellent guides, always looking to give the best in each activity. We are glad to read that you had a great time on your Cabo San Lucas Glass Bottom Kayak Tour and Snorkel at Two Bays tour, we hope to see you soon. HT Team

Great way to snorkle and kayak!
Karen_M, Apr 2022
This trip was perfect! We wanted to snorkle but not necessarily from a boat because some in our group get seasick. We kayaked about 45 mins and saw a bunch of sea life - then headed for a beach and snorkeled in a small cove from shore. Paco and the other man (sorry - cannot remember his name...) were so awesome! They made it so interesting for us. The main guide told us about the ocean life we were seeing and the landscape, and Paco showed us where some trumpet fish and other cool sea life were hiding. Very professional, picked us up from the hotel and dropped us off, and everyone had a blast!
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Thanks for your recommendation, Paco is a great Guide. Our tour of Kayak and Snorkel at Two Bays is a great experience where you can be able to be close to the marine life of the place, the kayaking has a gorgeous view that will leave you breathless with this majestic experience. We hope to see you again on your next adventure with us Warm regards HT Team

Great guides and beautiful scenes
Kimngan_N, Jan 2022
My family of 7 had such a great time with Alan and Nacho. They always made sure our belongings were safe. Alan was super personable, patient, and welcoming! We loved hearing his crazy stories of his life in the water. Kayaking was so nice being out in the ocean and while giving us a bit of arm workout. Snorkeling was amazing experience, seeing all different colored fish swimming near us.
Response from Host, Jan 2022
Thanks for your recommendation, the guys are great they will always take care of you. Visiting the two bays of Santa Maria and Chileno by kayak is relaxing and at the same time fun, snorkeling in Chile is beautiful, hopefully we can even meet turtles and a great variety of fish. We hope to see you on your next vacation. Warm regards HT Team
Fun in the Sun.
Cindy_N, Jun 2021
My daughter and I had such a good time kayaking with our great guides. Safety was important to them. We were able to snorkel but visibility wasn’t great because of the windy day. Still, a fun time was had. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2021
We are glad to know that you had a good day and enjoyed the ride. The tide is sometimes raised by nearby tropical storms or by the wind. We regret that you were unable to snorkel for this reason. We hope to see you again on your next vacation. Regards HT Team
Best tour so far this trip
Margaret_G, Jun 2021
What an excellent tour! We really enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling very much. Maury pointed out sea turtles and David showed us the fish and a sea snake. It was a beautiful trip! I recommend dong the kayak and snorkel as opposed to just snorkeling. Our group was half and half and it was a long time to be just snorkeling. I much preferred the two bays over Los Arcos - fewer people and loved walking in for snorkeling.
Response from Host, Jun 2021
We are happy to read your experience! The bays of Santa Maria and Chileno are really beautiful and excellent for snorkeling from the beach. Being able to observe the great variety of fish, reefs and turtles is magical! We hope you visit us again. Warm regards HT Team
Great adventure
Robin_L, Jun 2021
The tour guides were fantastic! They picked us up from the hotel on time and drove us to the beach. We had a great time! Marcos and Michael were extremely friendly and helpful. The views were wonderful. We were able to see turtles in the ocean while kayaking. I like that we took a break to have some water and reapply sunscreen. Marcos paddled with us while kayaking and Michael met us at the meeting point with more water and snacks. Once we got to the beach we cooled down, and Michael went snorkeling with us. I love that they provided life jackets, so I felt safe. My only caveat is to be prepared for kayaking for some time while in the sun. I don’t have the best upper body strength, so I struggled a little. Other than that tons of fun.
Response from Host, Jun 2021
We appreciate your time to write this review. We are glad that you enjoyed the kayak trip through the 2 bays. The snorkeling is wonderful in Chileno Bay, where there is a great variety of fish, reefs, and hopefully turtles. The boys will always be ready to help you, and have a great day. We hope to see you soon!!. Warm regards HT Team
Nice morning kayak/snorkel excursion
Heidi_M, May 2021
This was a fun, easy kayak ride from Playa Santa Maria to Playa Chileno. Our guides were super personable, and the snorkeling was good at Playa Chileno. I would have liked having a longer kayak ride, but other than that it was altogether a really nice outing!
Response from Host, May 2021
Thanks for taking the time to write this review!! we are very happy you enjoyed our tour, about the length of the ride it can feel very different according to wind direction if is in favor you get to the other bay way sooner than if it is blowing against the direction you are kayaking, also, due security the captain of the port does not allow us to go out of the pre-established areas! Hope to see you again on your next visit to sunny Cabo Best Regards HT Team
What an adventure
Amy_B, Mar 2021
We had a great experience. Marco and Ivan were great. We saw so many fish. It was amazing. Would do it again.
Response from Host, Mar 2021
Thanks for taking the time to write this review. So happy you enjoyed your tour lead by Marco and Ivan, both of them are excellent guides. He will be happy to see you back soon! Regards Sabina
Beautiful views
tracyrassley, Jan 2020
The "glass bottom" wasn't really a glass bottom and you couldn't really see anything through it, or at least we never were able to. It was a beautiful view as we went from one bay to the other. The snorkeling didn't go very well for us as my husband is not a swimmer and being in the ocean freaked him out, so he stayed by the shore. I snorkeled a little bit and saw a lot of fish, but we stayed fairly close to the shore, not sure if that was because it was just me or if that was where we would have stayed anyway.
Response from Host, Jan 2020
Thanks for taking the time to write this review. We are happy you enjoy the views. Snorkel depends on many things as wind, time of the day swells, etc because of this the location can be different every day, the guides will take you to the spot where you will see lots of fish, so according to your review that is what they did. Glass bottom does not work if there is swell or wind, it has to be very good visibility so you see true. Hope we can see you again on your next visit to sunny Cabo Best Regards HT Team
Fun Excursion!
Judy_C, Dec 2019
Our group of 4, ranging in age from 24 to 60, enjoyed our combo kayaking/snorkeling experience. We were picked up at our airbnb and driven to the lovely Santa Maria beach, where the first leg of our experience began. Ivan & Andros were very patient and personable, reviewing the mechanics of kayaking before helping us push off. Andros accompanied us in a separate kayak, ensuring that we were safe and not havng any issues. Ivan met us at Chileno Beach about 30 minutes later, and we had about 45 minutes to snorkel. We saw many colorful fish & coral, including a puffer fish!
Response from Host, Jan 2020
Hi Judy Thanks for this review. we are very happy to know you like our experience. Santa Maria and Chileno are great beaches for a snorkel. Kayaking form one to the other gives you the opportunity to see great views Hope we see you on your next visit to Cabo Best Regards HT Team
