Not worth it
Kristen_S, Feb 2024
The whale watching was great, but the line to get in was ridiculous. It was very disorganized. As soon as we stepped on the boat they closed the kitchen so we didn't get any food. Very disappointed in the experience.
Wishing for credit...

Cruise ship was not going to tender in time. Emailed about a refund, no response/resolution. Lost money, not happy :(
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Dear Jennifer, We are genuinely sorry to hear about the inconvenience you encountered when the cruise ship was not able to tender in time. We understand that this may have been disappointing. However, we would like to clarify a few points in response to your concerns. First, it's important to note that the cruise schedule and tendering process are typically managed by the cruise line and not by our company directly. We do our best to coordinate with them and ensure a seamless experience for our guests, but there can be situations beyond our control that affect the schedule. Regarding your request for a refund, we apologize for any misunderstanding or lack of response you may have experienced. It's crucial to mention that when reservations are made through third-party channels, the communication and refund processes may differ from direct bookings with us. We recommend reaching out to your third-party booking provider for further assistance and resolution. They should be able to guide you through the appropriate procedures for addressing your concerns. We genuinely regret that your experience did not meet your expectations and that you feel dissatisfied with the outcome. Your feedback is valuable, and we will use it to improve our communication with third-party partners and our guests. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. We hope this explanation clarifies the situation, and we apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. Should you decide to book directly with us in the future, we can provide more personalized assistance and ensure a smoother experience. Thank you for choosing our cruise in Cabo San Lucas, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

Hi beppe15, thank you for your review. We would like to clarify that our no-show refund policy is firm – we do not offer refunds for cancellations made through a third-part company.

March is a great month for whale watching
Paula_R, Mar 2022
Many whales to see this year. Too many boats blocking our view of the arch and surrounding rock formations. It would be great if boats left the harbor at regular intervals so that all passengers have good opportunities to see the sights up close. The crew is very fun and personable.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Dear Paula_R, Thank you for leaving us your review and feedback. We hope that in the future you will give us the opportunity to welcome you once again, in order to provide you with a 5-star service. Best regards, Wild Cabo Tours

Karl M, Apr 2018
Okay experience. The boat is very crowded and it's extremely difficult to get a good view of anything with so many people on board. The breakfast they provided was quite nice, but didn't really make up for the rest of the tour. Great views from the boat and you can get good pictures of the arch, but everything about the experience just seemed rather cheesy. If I could do it again I would try to go with a smaller company or just hire a boat at the pier.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Hi Karl M, We appreciate your feedback. Our Cabo Escape Tour is meant to be entertaining and for you to stand up and fun, we do, however, have other options for the experience you are looking for such as our Tu Enamorado which is a very different city, a calmer and more relaxing experience. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back. Kind regards, Wild Cabo Tours

Geoff H, Mar 2018
We did this on our first day at Cabo for the Sunday morning 9:00 a.m. breakfast tour. People were in a good mood, and the staff works hard to make sure your are having a good time. The breakfast is buffet style with a variety of items. The whales were active during our tour. So that we were able to take a lot of good photos. And there is a guide providing an overview and ask questions you may have during the trip.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Hi Geoff H Thank you very much for telling us about your complete experience, since many people fall in love with our fun Cabo Escape Tours. We hope that you will soon return to experience all of our Wild Cabo tours! Best regards, Wild Cabo Tours

We went on this tour for my bachelorette day. The food was great! A good mix between western and Mexican cuisine. The drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) were all included. The staff was very friendly and helpful!! We saw a few whales and one whale breach!!

Well worth the money. This whale...
James C, Feb 2017
Well worth the money. This whale watching cruise is enjoyable and educational and the on-board breakfast was well done. Because of the size of this craft it was very stable and suitable for guests that might be concerned about sea sickness. There was a full bar on this double decker boat selling cocktails but beers were handed out at no cost. A professional biologist provided an interesting and educational commentary in English and Spanish. Because February is the middle of the season for whale watching there were numerous sightings. A few were near the boat but most were off in the distance. Taking pictures of the sightings and getting good results is very difficult. By the time you spot, point, focus, and shoot you've missed it. Video is a better option.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Hi James C, We are happy to know you had such a fun experience, and that you enjoyed your time spent with us. Our top priority is our guest’s happiness and satisfaction, and it makes us so proud to know we achieved and met our guests' expectations. It was our pleasure having you and we hope to welcome you again soon. Best regards, Cabo Escape Tours
