Friendly staff, good food and drinks, great views of migrating whales but terrible snorkeling. We’ve snorkeled many times in several locations. We’ve determined that the Mexico riviera is not a good place to snorkel or the tours aren’t taking us to the better locations. The water always is murky and fish are few. If not for the views of the migrating whales, the views of the coast line, the good food (served by their staff thankfully! Not buffet), plentiful drinks, and fun staff on board I would say don’t do this tour. If your goal for this tour is to see fish and enjoy snorkeling, this is not it. I don’t blame the crew for the poor quality snorkeling.
As others mentioned they make you wear the funky large orange floatation vests that don’t fit well and are uncomfortable in water. They should invest in better quality vests. They don’t offer wet suit shorties or even Lycra suits yet the snorkel guide is wearing a full wetsuit (water is on the cold side). At least in winter months you may want to bring your own shorty and vest. They had sufficient masks and fins for all (I’ve been on other Mexico snorkel tours that did not). Quality was ok (again if you want better bring your own! On safety, it was not apparent they counted returning snorkelers at end to ensure all were back on board (we were close to shore).
One of the snorkelers had a medical emergency while in the water. When another snorkeler noticed she screamed out for help, they worked to bring him on board by kayak, administered CPR once on board, and called “marina rescue.” He was taken by the rescue and we could see them continue to provide CPR. That was a sad and unfortunate end of the trip. The staff tried to get the mood back up but I don’t think they were successful.

The views of cabo, leaving the dock, we magnificent. The guides spotted out whales and sea lions and even slowed down the boat so we could watch as they passed. The water was cold but once you're in, you're good to go! Snorkeling was fun but it is difficult with the waves at times. The lunch was subpar, crackers with potato salad, a small sandwich, and tuna salad but the drinks made up for it. All in all it was a good tour with plenty to remember!

Decent views of the beach and the horizon with a nice experience by the arch and lover’s beach. Drink’s were good. The boat experience, however, goes down from there.
The visibility of the snorkeling and the fish could have been better. The head tour guide of the boat tour was tactless in the 4 attempts he made to ensure you tip the staff. He even went so far as to call out the crowd for having weak tips and got you comfortable. He also spent time during explaining the snorkeling rules to condescendingly explain why he did not appreciate some tourists of the past questioning the rules (which is fair but tactless). Not the most professional experience.

It was impossible to snorkel. The crew made everyone wear big orange life vests which meant it was almost impossible even to put your face in the water, much less snorkel. The ship was nice, the crew nice (some obviously upset with those rules re snorkeling) but if you want to really snorkel AVOIDL.

Crew was amazing! Friendly and good instruction. I felt safe and really had a good time. I saw other families w kids and they looked out for the kids. Another couple on our trip were older and needed some help. Crew was patient and understanding. It was English and Spanish instructions. The guide who was in the water w us, was amazing. He guided us to see the sealife. Enjoyed it. Full disclosure. We got this trip free (plus $2 each person) from listening to the sunset time share. Is this worth the regular price? YES! If I had to pay for it, it’s worth it. Clean and spacious. Come check out this company.

What is the included lunch? Do you have a gluten free option? Thank you in advance
Kemper4
Saint Louis, MO34 contributions
Tuna and potato salad; club type sandwich; fruit, and crackers. Can't answer the gluten free question, however they were so accommodating i bet if you asked in advance they would take care of you.
The drinks were unlimited, however they only allowed you 2 alcohol drinks before you enter the water.
The company is asking for a wire transfer if 50% when going directly through the website. Has anyone else experienced this?

Is there a ramp or a ladder to get back on the boar after snorkeling? I have difficulty climbing a ladder.

There is a small ladder on the back of the boat. There are people to assist you if you really need it but if its a real struggle for you I would maybe skip the snorkel and just enjoy the cruise part
