This is a great combo tour for snorkeling and sight seeing. Shaggy and Jonathan were an excellent guide and captain. You will see a lot of fish in very clear water as well as seeing El Arco and the sea lions. Esperanza tour company was great. I need to mention that Viator had to reschedule this tour after I booked it online. I thought this tour was going to be longer. It stated approximately 5 hours in the description. It was 2 hours from the time I left and came back to the dock.

Adventures in Cabo San Lucas

Michael_E, Apr 2024

At first, I was concerned, as the boat trip was almost the same one we took the day before on the city tour. But the tide and sea were totally different and our captain took a wider route around the harbor. Saw so many fish. They don't call the Sea of Cortez the aquarium of the sea without reason. The snorkel guide and captain were fantastic and very concerned about everyone's safety. I can't recommend Esperanza Tours enough. Good lunches, too! They are a friendly, hardworking family company. Good people to spend time with in Cabo!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

You don't know how much these types of comments help us. We are pleased to know that Esperanza's tour was part of your experience in Los Cabos and we hope to serve you next time!

Great snorkeling tour!

Melissa_B, Mar 2024

Snorkeling tour was wonderful! Lupe was a great tour guide and took great pics of my son underwater. Bonus We even saw whales on our boat ride! Lunch provided was good and appreciated the extra time to tour city alone, with 3 different pick up times given. Will be back!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

We will be very glad to serve you again in your next visit to the Los Cabos area. Your 5 star review it helps us a lot, gracias!

Not a good company

Lesha_P, Jul 2023

The boat wasn’t fully glass bottom, very mid leading. The company also picked us up, but refused to drop us off back to our resort because the experience was over so we had to pay for an additional Uber. I don’t recommend doing this experience with this company.

Family Fun Snorkeling

David_P, Mar 2022

Good snorkeling. Nice guide. Still waiting for photo email. The boat was comfortable and not crowded

Melinda_R, Feb 2022

The guide was funny but very informative as well. He fit perfectly with the personality of our group! During the snorkeling I was afraid and he stayed with me and made me feel very safe.

Did Not Disappoint

Gina_G, Jan 2022

The water is as clear as it looks on Google

Sonoka_F, Oct 2021

We got really lucky, no one else signed up for the same tour time slot as we did. It ended up being a private tour for just the two of us. The water was choppy that day, but we still got a good look at land's end and the other rock formations along the Sea of Cortes as well as the Pacific side. As the tour went on we got to see seals and pelicans fairly close up. We only viewed lovers beach and divorce beach from a distance, but as they were crowded with tourists we were fine staying on our much less crowded boat. The highlight of the tour was of course the snorkeling. We got to swim side by side with the many fish. Our snorkel guide was great and captured all our fun moments with his GoPro. We got videos and pictures, we've uploaded some of our edited pictures but could not upload any of the really cool videos we received as well.

Slightly disappointed

Tedisha_B, Jul 2021

I was slightly disappointed since this was my third time snorkeling while on vacation. The area covered was very small and there were mini jellyfish all over in the water zapping us. We basically stayed in one place and looked at the few fish. Expected more

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Thank you for sharing your experience. At Esperanza's Tours we take seriously the safety of our guests, and the best interest of keeping you in a reduced area was to protect you from the mini jellyfish, unfortunately this affected your overall experience. Mother nature is awesome, but when it comes to jellyfish, we are set on a difficult situation facing out of our control. Hopefully in your next visit we can accommodate you and have better conditions in the ocean. Gracias. Wendy T.

Great experience but souvenir photos are thumbs down!

Vicki_D, Jun 2021

It was a great experience with my family. It was my first and my son first time to snorkel. The reason for 3 out of 5 stars because we were suppose to receive the souvenir photos…we did receive a CD. But to come all the way home and open the files from our computer to find out…it was only ONE photo and the photo wasn’t even us!! We are so disappointed! :(

Great sea life

Emily_D, May 2021

I had the trip to myself which made it very personalized. The snorkeling was more than expected. Saw a sea horse, octopus, blow fish, several eel and lots of beautiful fish. Lunch on lovers beach was great. Highly recommend this excursion!

Response from Host, May 2021

Really Fun

Gretchen_S, Apr 2021

Fun excursion, from start to finish Martin took care of us. Snorkeling was good, boat was clean and our guides did an excellent job. Baguette sandwich lunch was great. Recommend this to anyone who wants to see the Arch area and get a taste of the town.

Great time

Amanda_J, Dec 2020

Awesome time

Trevor_H, Oct 2020

Johnathon and Edson were simply amazing. Such cool pictures and an overall wonderful time. 10/10 would recommend

Awesome captain Aurelio and assistant Bravlio. Captain helped us so much with snorkeling and made sure we were ok.

Mickey, Mar 2020

Safe, helpful and I would recommend it to anyone. My husband was not an experienced swimmer and he guided him through the awesome experience. We received our pictures on a CD and they were great. Thank you!

Where’s the baguette sandwich?

Laura_P, Feb 2020

We booked the earliest snorkeling trip because my sister, who was in Cabo last year, said the wind picks up in the afternoon. Turns out we were the only two on the boat We had the boat to ourselves! Unreal! The crew of two was great! Especially, Braulio our water guide and photographer! Well...it came time to eat and we were expecting what was advertised. A nice baguette sandwich. Instead we got a iceberg lettuce salad and water. And that’s all. The salad was fresh. The boat captain was working hard being a tour guide and steering the boat safely and Braulio was so great at doing his job we didn’t bring up the issue while aboard. But on the way back to the hotel we did ask the shuttle driver why we weren’t given our sandwiches and he said “ you were given the breakfast “. We didn’t eat breakfast that morning thinking we’d get a great sandwich after snorkeling. So... they need to tell us that if you book the first snorkeling time slot you’re not getting the food advertised. We don’t know about you but we like sandwiches at all times of the day... and night!

Snorkeling was amazing !

Amy_B, Dec 2019

This was an awesome trip. The two guides, Jonathan and Aurelio were very knowledgeable and the tour was wonderful. I got to hold a puffer fish... That alone would make it an unforgettable memory! Even the driver for esperanza's tours was amazing.

Lorraine W, Dec 2017

Took my niece on this tour for the first time. I had already done this the previous year. Ranks as one of the best snorkeling tour in Cabo. It is worth the price as it includes a dvd of photos of your group holding a puffer fish, starfish or other sea life. I would highly recommend this tour.

Lorraine W, May 2016

The snorkeling was amazing. The guide was great with me as I had never snorkeled before. He took lots of pictures of us. He also went back down on our way back to photograph a school of Manta Rays. All the pictures and a video were put on a dvd and given to us at no cost. We were given 3 options for the ride back to our hotel. I would rate this tour as excellent and will do this again.
