- Happiness587826178310 contributionsAbsolutely outstanding tour!This was by far the best whale watching your we have ever done. The captain and crew were very friendly and helpful. The service they provided on the tour was to of the class! We were really happy to see 15 whales in two hours! The catemeran was very spacious and not over crowded. It was also very clean.Written January 17, 2025
- Connector426120 contributionsA Perfect Sunset Cruise in Los Cabos!I had an amazing experience on the sunset cruise in Los Cabos! The crew was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and had everything they needed. Drinks were served quickly, and Mc Antony kept the good vibes going throughout the entire trip. The views of the sunset over the ocean were absolutely breathtaking – it was the perfect way to unwind and take in the beauty of the area. Highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Los Cabos!Written January 6, 2025
- GlobeTrotting2985120 contributionsCabo sunset partyGreat views! There are a lot of other boats doing the same thing but it still is worth it. The boat was comfortable, the food was very good, and we could have as many drinks as we wanted. A wonderful way to see Cabo! Our favorite part was the dance party at the end—-we had a blast!Written December 29, 2024
- 31ginnyh0 contributionsGreat timeGreat time! Crew was very attentive and entertaining. We saw whales- awesome. Ship was clean and neat- unlimited drinks, fruit and sandwiches.Written December 22, 2024
- rachelwJ9803ET0 contributionsFamily fun whale watchingThe crew is friendly and fun. DJ Tony Flow was hilarious and interactive. There was an open bar, but it didn't feel like a booze cruise. The trip was the perfect amount of time to get out on the water and see some whales. Highly recommend.Written December 22, 2024
- rosweet0 contributionsFabulous boat tourWe boarded Oceanus for RCCL's shore excursion at Cabo. We had such great time, and drinks are flowing, and music is pumping. Especially the MC Tony and Barman Marvin did fabulous job taking care my family. From grandparents to child, everyone is dancing.Written December 14, 2024
- Dylan J0 contributionsGreat experience and sceneryThis trip was a lot of fun. Very well done and managed. It is just long enough to leave you wanting more. Great scenery and great crew.

- 62robyne0 contributionsBest sunset cruiseFriendly staff . Great tour . Best sunsets and views . High let recommend and would book with them again no questions asked . Crew was great ….Written November 30, 2024
- DanielM56060 contributionsNice cruise but...missed the climax!So...the cruise was generally very good, the boat was not too crowded, the crew were pleasant and helpful. The ocean and views were spectacular. My criticism is that we didn't actually see the sunset...the sun was setting about 5:34, and at that time we are on the east side of the Arch, so while that was beautiful, I noticed there were a lot of boats on the west side of the Arch, where you could actually watch the sun set. By the time we got over to that side, it was about 5 minutes after the sun was gone...so that was a bit disappointing to me.Written November 27, 2024
- catherineeJ4965RJ0 contributionsOkThe food wasn't anything to write home about, entertainment was subpar.... Drinks were watered down, but ... Was a nice sunset though!!Written November 13, 2024
- Jennifer-Hiatt0 contributionsBeautiful sunset cruise with great viewsGorgeous views of the Arch, they were attentive and kept bringing drinks. Would recommend to anyone coming to Cabo to do one of these cruises.Written November 6, 2024
- I8277EFstaceyb0 contributionsA sunset to remember ☀️Although the catamaran we were on was a bit dated, the view is amazing. I will long remember the sun setting behind the arch and the glow of the moon on the water. The DJ was just ok. The entertainer/host was energetic and very funny. The food was a plated Mexican meal that was very basic, nothing memorable, however, the staff was friendly and if you don’t find the food appealing, well there’s the open bar!Written October 22, 2024
- J1859GKnadineb0 contributionsGood valueIt was a nice trip, not too crowded. The staff was very nice and accommodating. They had everyone up dancing on the top deck. Dinner was standard. Good value for the price. You see the same things all the other cruises do for less money. I would recommend.Written October 13, 2024
- Lupe F0 contributionsSunset Dinner ReviewHad a very fun time, crew was extremely friendly and helpful. They were always happy to help and serve me and my friend. The host was extremely entertaining and welcoming. Food was amazing, drinks were amazing, views were amazing, vibes were amazing. 10/10 experience, highly recommend.Written October 12, 2024
- gerdp8090 contributionsBad experienceUnresponsive and non-existent customer service. We booked a tour for the same day on August 1. On the way to their location, we contacted them by phone & text message to get clarification & detail on the exact location of the boat since one person in the group had difficulty walking but we did not get any response at all. We therefore did not get on the boat trip. Requested a refund and Viator is giving us the run around. They say they can't give out the tour operator's email.... No response via their phone number.Written August 30, 2024

We just returned from Cabo and did the Los Cabos Reef Snorkeling Cruise on Oceanus 1. There was good communication before the tour departed and directions and instructions were clear for arrival. The tour started right on time. There are a lot of mixed reviews for this tour, and some points are valid but overall this is a great experience. One of my concerns about booking activities (especially on the ocean) is safety. Right away from the moment you get on board, you can tell that this is a top priority for this company.
The sail out to the snorkel site was pleasant. The bartender was great and so friendly! Only two drinks are allowed per person before snorkeling (which is pretty standard). As we got closer to the site they gave everyone a briefing on what to expect getting into the water. Once again, safety was paramount! All the staff were friendly and worked hard to make sure everyone was comfortable. You can tell they are proud of their business and want guests to have the best experience.
Yes - the area where we snorkeled was busy with lots of boats, but that is where it is good to snorkel in Cabo, so hard to avoid that. They made sure they directed us to an area that was a bit more open so it really wasn't a problem. There were lots of fish! They did warn us before we got in the water that it was jellyfish season so there was a possibility of getting stung. Which of course - we did but it is the ocean after all. They had a first responder/medic on board (I think his name was Daniel) and he was very good at treating everyone (including myself and my son).
They had lunch for us afterward and plenty to drink. The boat is well maintained and bathrooms are available (all very clean)
Overall this was a great experience, good value for money, and a great way to experience the Cabo coastline. If you are prone to motion/sea sickness this is great option. Thank you Oceanus for a great experience.

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.

We’ll organized package. Paris our tour guide, entertained us prior to the entry into the water as well as gave everyone great information which put everyone at ease whether they were a novice at snorkeling or seasoned veteran. We took 6 grandkids, ages 10-5, none who had ever snorkeled before and they loved it. Food and beverage was good.

Snorkeling was decent not the best because it was very crowded but the boat ride there and back made up for it. Don’t forget a towel because they make you pay for them. They also make you pay another $2 a person for “a dock fee”.

There was a $2 per person docking fee right on the dock that came in as a surprise before I even see the ship. The guys there are ok. They had given us some rules for the snorkeling but they would not allow anyone to jump off the boat for fun during snorkeling when the ship is stationery. So, there goes a star. Then the food was cheap and no good. They could have a bigger canopy on top of the boat to shade the sun. The boat is clean overall. And they use brand new mouth piece for the snorkel. So that is a kudo for them.

Average. The crew were nice and accommodating. The views were great. Restrooms clean. You could hardly understand a word over the speaker. Not much of a hype, a little underwhelming. The food was NOT good. A warm "turkey" sandwich, warm fruit and warm potato salad and it was a solid 90 degrees out. Yuck.. I have done one of these cruises using a different line and the drinks/food and music were a lot better for the price.

Staff was welcoming, fun, knowledgeable and ensured our safety throughout the entire trip. Eve more noteworthy was when we encountered whales they lowered their speed and stayed a respectful distance from the whales allowing the animal to choose to be close or further away from us. With so many boat operators not adhering to respectful whale watching guidelines, this was great to be on a boat that cared about the well being of the whales as much as they cared about our experience. Highly recommend!

Super fun snorkeling tour!! My third time snorkeling and this one did not diss appoint. A professional diver goes in with us and guides us on where to go, grabbed two puffer fish for us to see up close and they provided all clean and sanitized equipment. The lunch was also pretty good and filling. The boat was nice and the crew was very friendly. Overall fun time!

What is the included lunch? Do you have a gluten free option? Thank you in advance
Written June 30, 2022
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.

Written September 16, 2019
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
