About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Sherry O0 contributionsPeople were great the tour was notThe tour itself was quite disappointing. One of the things that I commend them for is apparently they rescue endangered camels from places like circuses . They take care of the older camels that are no longer in service and the camels work one day out of three and the rest of the time they have to rest and apparently have some areas where they can go to just kind of be camels. The guides were great, however the half-day tour included about 2 hours in a van getting to the site and back. The time on the camels was approximately 15 maybe 20 minutes at the most went about an eighth of a mile on the beach and did a u-turn and came back to get off the camels. To say there was nothing Scenic about it is putting it mildly. One of the better points of the day was the walkthrough a description of the Flora on the beach area. The guide was very knowledgeable about the plants and willing to ask questions. For the money I would not recommend this because it is billed as a half day camel Safari tour. It is not. My hotel was the first to be picked up at approximately 8:00 in the morning I got back to my hotel at 2:30 which technically is a half a day. They will not allow you to take your own pictures or use your cell phone for the tour guide to take your picture. Because I'm alone I did end up buying two of their very overpriced photos at $80. I seriously hope that other people thinking about taking this tour will check out this review. The only reason I gave it three stars is because for no extra charge they were going to pick me up at my hotel it was quite a way up the coast going towards totus Center and back. The drivers were great and as I said people involved with the tour were terrific. The other thing is that they insisted that you wear these silly kaftan type covers on the helmets which made me feel kind of like a fool. You can see them in the pictures I suggested that I not have to wear one and they said no it was required. I think I've said enough again the people were great however on the whole, the tour was a rip off.Written November 21, 2023
- siobhano6480 contributionsGreat experience with Captain HymeWe had a great trip out on the boar. We saw pelican rock, the arch, divorce beach, lovers Beach, and then we went snorkeling in chilleno Bay. Captain Hyme was very kind and welcoming. He even did some fast donuts at the end of the boat trip.Written June 29, 2023
- R1909CEdeborahb0 contributionsDoesn't follow their own cancellation policyThis experience requires a minimum number of travelers. If it’s canceled because the minimum isn’t met, you’ll be offered a different date/experience or a full refund. I was emailed that my activity has a minimum capacity of 4 people and there was only 2 of us. I was given two options that didn't accommodate my schedule because i already had other activities booked the rest of the week. I asked for a refund and the conversation ended. No reply no refund just another message stating I was booked with them for an earlier time. I wanted what I paid for or a refund.Written May 2, 2023
- hsscoffeeboy0 contributionsUntruthful and unreliableThe tour company was unprofessional/untruthful; they cancelled our tour the afternoon prior to citing weather conditions which was a total falsehood as i contacted four other tour companies trying to get on one at the last minute, but they were full and said weather conditions were ideal. Wisest was also very difficult to communicate with as i had messaged them several times with my hotel information asking about pickup time and did not get a response. they cancelled due to not enough people on the tour to make it worth their while which i get, but if they would have been upfront and told us that the week before when they called to inform us of the so-called bad weather, i could have booked another tour company. i will never book another tour with them; can't trust them.Written January 3, 2023
- Sirene190 contributionsGood time, good price, good food!We had a great time on this excursion. The Sun Rider boat is beautiful, the staff attentive, and the food excellent! We went in April 2022. There were about 100 of us in total I would guess from various hotels in the region. We did a pass by Los Arcos and also saw the rocks where the seals were hanging out. Then it was off to snorkeling (cold and not many fish at the time, oh well), then lunch (delicious fajitas and sides), then back to the dock. The picture here is not what the snorkeling is like. The water where the snorkeling is done is at least 10 feet deep and in kind of a cove area. Overall, a good time and a good choice.Written April 21, 2022
- Biancakin0 contributionsLife Time Experience!!We had an stunning experience with wisest travel in La Paz. The transfer from and to our hotel in Cabos San Lucas functioned well. The guide (sorry can't remember the name - Maria?) had tons of knowledge concerning the gentle giants and made us feel safe in every situation. We were lucky enough to see more than one whale shark. She splitted our group of 11 in 3 smaller groups, so that each had a few minutes in water and after that a new group had a chance to experience this amazing animals. All in all each group had 3 turns. And we spend like two hours there. It seems that the whale shark aren't bothered by our presence at all, as they sometimes just kept swimming or even stand still for eating and just turning around on one spot. Also there were not tons of other boats around, as it is regulated by the government how many people per day are allowed to snorkel with the whale sharks. The crew provided us snorkeling equipment like masks, wetsuits, flippers and life vests. All of them were in a good condition. After the snorkeling we got some cold drinks and snacks. We would definitely recommend to do this life time experience if you have the chance to, and with wisest travel you are surely on a safe side to experience something amazing. Thanks to the crew!Written December 16, 2021
- EVELYN M0 contributionsGreat experienceInstructor was great and helpful. Safe and smooth ride in the air. All the pictures taken were amazing. No drinks included and the wait was a little bit longer to get to the actual activity after check inWritten July 3, 2021
- wandjoy0 contributionsGreat Kayaking and Snorkeling Experience!Ivan, Davi and Alexis were great guides! They took care of our group and our entire family thoroughly enjoyed the kayaking and the snorkeling! There were so many fish to see! Our pickup was easy and on-time, as was the drop-off. The guides were all very professional and took care of everything so we could enjoy the experience. I would definitely recommend using this group from High Tide.Written June 25, 2021
- kennmoore8160 contributionswonderful experience for 3Breaching humpback whales almost immediately after leaving the arch. The area was crowded with all sizes boats watching the whales. Our crew was able to manuver us in for a close watch. We followed/sited 4 different pods. The boat was very comfortable with lots of great viewing spots. Friendly and not crowded on our boat. Crew was attentive throughout! My mom got dizzy when we deboarded. They offered wheelchairs, shade, and contacted our driver! Wonderful experience!Written February 27, 2020
- larrykG8473SY0 contributionsGreat whale watching, food and serviceThe service provided by the onboard crew was outstanding and the food was very good. The captain put us on whales to view and allowed ample time to get pictures taken at the Arch of Los Cabos.Written February 19, 2020
- Joan B0 contributionsAmazingPlenty of whales to be seen just amazing site. Crew was absolutely great always making sure you have everything you need. Unfortunately on our day the weather was very cold, but didn't stop us from enjoying the trip. My only disappointment was the difficulty in transversing from one side of the ship to the other to see the whales.Written February 16, 2020
- Patricia M0 contributionsBaja Water Spirts parasailingWe had a blast with the Baja Watersports crew! We were in a group of 6 - 2 other couples in a family. The men parasailed one at a time, and we went up in a tandem parasail. The crew was excellent - they knew what they were doing and they were very playful. They got everyone hooked up and ready to fly, and gave god instructions for take off and landing. Each parasailing was about 15-20 min. Such an amazing experience! The only negative was that the office was hard to find, but we asked people when we were nearby and they helped us find Baja. Otherwise very professional.Written December 23, 2019
- uniquelylp0 contributionsAwesome!!We ended up being the only ones who did it on a Saturday at 2:30pm. So awesome, wish i could’ve taken my phone up there as the ride was super smooth and easy. First time and definitely won’t be my last!!!!Written December 8, 2019
- Banff220 contributionsPros/ConsPros: Beautiful boat. Great crew. Great food at dinner. Cons: Cheap wine (a brand I can buy for $5.99 a BOTTLE) at home. Most of the time was spent in harbor area (rough surf). Uncomfortable chairs. No room to dance. Over all it was pretty good but we got a deep discount. If we paid full price we would have been disappointed.Written September 25, 2019
- genevaelazegui0 contributionsDo it for sure!It was a great experience! The crew was very nice and accommodating. It was very fun and was not as scary as I thought it would be! Definitely would recommend and I’d do it again!Written September 9, 2019

This was all I hoped it would be! We saw lots of whales and a few dolphins. Captain Jose was fantastic. We went quite a ways out following a couple whales and I never felt unsafe.
We are coming back in February and we already have this booked 2 more times! Thanks for the check off the bucket list!

Totally amazing! Great staff and safety first. They would speed off to every whale sighting and we were totally surrounded by whales jumping out of the water! It was amazing. We never saw whales like this even in Alaska, it was unreal. A big check on the bucket list, not every day you get to see a whale jump all the way out of the water. They made sure we had a great time and never missed out on seeing a whale. Don't miss out on the amazing adventure.

The boat got us out in the area of the whales quickly and near enough for some great photos, but not dangerously close. The staff was great and provided a lot of educational information. I took a whale tour with another company years ago and we saw a lot of whales too, but the crew made this experience great. The 1st mate even helped me with my gopro when a whale swam near our boat. I would definitely recommend this tour.

The tour was exciting, rewarding and fun. They found the humpback whales without difficulty, and the tour guide could almost predict when the whales would surface and breach.
I assumed I'd get wet, but there was surprisingly little spray. They provide assistance on and off the boat, and everyone is at the same level.
(Try to avoid the middle seats...it can be harder to view from those seats.)

No grays on this trip, but the humpbacks came out to play! We watched a mom, her calf, and an auntie for a solid 25 min. I did feel like we couldn’t see or hear in the back of the boat, so I will sit in front the next time I come! An amazing experience.

Whales are why I came to Cabo. This trip did not disappoint. Spent about 20 minutes following a mama and her very active baby frolicking and putting on a show. Captain Jose and Travis were great.

Fun afternoon chasing after whales. The Zodiac boat can get closer than the catamarans. The guide was excellent and was excited as were when a whale was spotted.
