About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- stefanamuller0 contributionsAmazing Sea Life Filled Trip!!Maria and Adrian were wonderful guides. The water was rough but they were able to get us to 2 great snorkel spots. On the way we saw Manta Rays, Sea Turtles, and about 100 Dolphins swimming in a pod. We spent 20+minutes riding the waves with the amazing pod of dolphins. There were babies among them and they got so close to the boat and were riding the waves with us. We heard them communicating with each other. Maria was so knowledgeable about the area, the sea life and anything we asked. She was kind and helpful throughout the trip. Adrian tracked down the Mantas, and dolphins. He knew exactly how to navigate the waters safely. We also saw the Arch and all the key sights along the shore. Amazing trip!Written August 13, 2024
- Vacation2532920 contributionsGreat snorkeling tour for familyGreat tour, very well organized and great communication. Our guide, Maria, and captain, Freddy, were both awesome! We had 3 adults a 3 kids under the age of 7, and everyone had a blast, Would 100% recommend.Written August 12, 2024
- Go438108620160 contributionsSo Much Fun for All Skill Levels!This trip was absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of my time in Cabo. Jitka was our guide. I went with my sister and she was afraid of getting in the water. Jitka was so friendly and encouraging. My sister ended up jumping into the water and Jitka made sure she felt safe the whole time. I think this would be a great tour for anyone, regardless of skill level. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.Written July 29, 2024
- Saleen12910 contributionsCabo snorkelingWe had a group of 9 go out with Cabo trek for a private snorkeling session. Even though they don’t offer transportation from your hotel to the marina, getting there was real easy using an Uber and they had clear instructions on how to get there in the booking email. Freddie our captain and Vanu our snorkeling/ biologist expert, real made the trip easy and enjoyable. They took us on a tour of the Cabo peninsula before we started our snorkeling adventure. They provided all the necessary equipment and instruction. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed seeing a of the aquatic life in the Cabo bay. Everything was as promised and this was the best deal we found. I highly recommend that you look them up and book with them.Written July 24, 2024
- Robert B0 contributionsFun & Good VarietyGuides were organized, well geared (wet suits), and took us out to snorkel a few different spots to see different types of habitat. Family friendly and would recommend to others.Written July 21, 2024
- K7561PDkarenw0 contributionsBest customer service and great tripGreat afternoon with Cabo Trek! We went to the corridor with our guide Maria and captain Adrian. We had a combination of divers and snorkelers onboard, and the team accommodated each with a highly-skilled guide. We saw beautiful underwater wildlife and enjoyed the boat ride as well. CaboTrek has BY FAR the most tech/user-friendly booking, and they are great communicators. Maria brought her camera and shared all the wonderful pics with us (free of charge, another great customer service).Written June 13, 2024
- LaniOrmsby0 contributionsNo mobula rays, but still fun!Maria was a great tour guide and Freddie was our captain. Maria was so helpful and knowledgeable. She made the trip great! We saw turtles, dolphins, and drove past the arch. We searched for a while but didn’t see any mobula rays, but snorkeling was fun and we appreciated everything. Our cruise ship was late to disembark and they were also understanding and accommodating. I would recommend booking with these guys.Written June 4, 2024

Everyone was super nice, and our guide Philipp was knowledgeable, helpful, fun, and enthusiastic, making our scuba diving in Cabo San Lucas memorable! We highly recommend going diving with Cabo Trek :)Written June 1, 2024
- 904katef0 contributionsThe RIGHT company for Whale Watching in Cabo!With 2 floating cities anchored in the harbor, the hustle for tourist dollars on the malecĂłn was frenetic and overwhelming. I had researched this company, and attracted by the promise of "a biologist on board," made a beeline for their permanent counter, where the professional and personable Beatriz made me feel immediately that I had made the right choice for a whale watching adventure. On board were only 2 other passengers, plus our able captain and the wonderfully informative biologist, Angelica. She was also a wildlife photographer, involved in identifying whales for a data base, so snapped amazing pictures throughout, while teaching us about the marine life. She was clearly passionate about whales, and knew the answers to any questions we posed. The captain was an expert boat handler, whether maneuvering for a photo angle or keeping tabs on the whales. Together they soon found us a mother and baby to watch and, after we enjoyed them for awhile, found 3 more swimming together, which we followed. This is nature, and there are no guarantees. But we had a truly memorable adventure, thanks to the knowledge of our team!Written May 11, 2024
- Resort3614920 contributionsGreat snorkeling experienceWe had an outstanding experience with our private snorkel charter in Cabo. Our guide, Maria, a marine biologist, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, enriching our trip with fascinating insights about the marine life. Freddie, our boat captain, was very accommodating and even let us take the helm, which was a thrill! They expertly navigated us to the major landmarks of Cabo and led us to two superb snorkeling spots teeming with sea life. The sites were perfect for our family, including small children, and we always felt safe and comfortable in the water. Overall, this was a phenomenal adventure that we highly recommend!Written May 5, 2024
- Nomad149246136550 contributionsA most memorable experience!We loved having Anjelica share her knowledge of all the fish species we saw, not to mention the history and geography of the area we toured! We had the best time! Our Captain was very kind and intuitively helpful. Also highly skilled at navigating a tight marina!! To top it all off, Anjelica took wonderful photos and videos to commemorate our adventure!Written May 1, 2024
- Cbloodwe0 contributionsWonderful whale watchingAbsolutely amazing! I never thought whale watching would be so fun honestly. It was a wonderful boat ride with a small group of 12 people. I can’t remember our guide’s name (Venu??) but she was FANTASTIC. Marine biologist with so many fun facts for us and the pictures she took were super pro! Super afforable photo package with a ton of photos of the whales, dolphins, pelicans, and sea lions that we saw. Also we got photos of and with El Archo. She all was able to airdrop all of the photos straight to my iphone! Our boat captain was great. 10/10 would do again!Written April 16, 2024
- U5665MN_0 contributionsAmazing whale watching trip!!The tour was amazing! We were a little bit worried that we won’t see whales braces it was the last days of the season, but our guide and boat captain were so professional and were so insuring and we found whales very quickly! Angelika knows so much about whales and it was an amazing time seeing them so close and hearing intrasting facts about their life and journey in Baja California! I will definitely recommend and come back!Written April 14, 2024
- nanasnest0 contributionsExcellent whale watching in Cabo!We had an amazing tour with Cabo Trek. Very well organized. As it was April we did not necessarily expect to see many whales. However, we really lucked out seeing several whales with their young. It was a highlight of our vacation. Would highly recommend this tour.Written April 14, 2024

We booked the Sunset Whale Cruise for January 7th.
The staff was very kind and friendly, however, I felt as if they were not as knowledgeable as Cabo Trek made them appear.
We saw no whales and were told by the guides that it was rare to see whales in the evening. They informed us that the best time to see the whales was in the morning or afternoon. Had I know this I would not have paid 115.00 to be completely disappointed. We were offered a 10 percent discount off of a future tour. I feel like a refund of at least half of the cost of the the tour would be more appropriate.

Hi Sandra,
we are sorry that you did not see enough whales, but as stated on our website the whale sunset tour is a more calm tour to enjoy the sunset, while eventually you see some whales (which we usually do) and hear them singing while the sun sets behind the arch.
On this trip we offer wine and food (this is why it is also a bit more expensive that the normal whale watching tour) and it is supposed to be an enjoyable and relaxing trip.
Although during the day encountering whales is higher, please remember that we are still dealing with wildlife and no one can guarantee you to see whale on every trip
I can reassure you that our guide Thais is among the most knowledgeable guide within our organization.
I hope you can give us another chance in the future and if you have any doubts about the tours please reach out and we can advise you with the best options,
Have a nice day.

Spectacular Sunset AND Whales!
We had a spectacular sunset cruise with Cabo Trek and Sylvia and Captain Adrian.
We first took a peek at the Arch and Pelican Rock as we headed out of the Marina. Then we saw several whales . Mommas and babies! Sylvia was very knowledgeable and informative and Captain Adrian had a great eye for spotting them and was good at maneuvering the boat for good pictures. We only had six people out of a possible 10. We followed a pair of whales on the Pacific side and easily saw over a dozen full breaches and dives with the Mom and Baby. Sylvia was able to predict when the baby was about to jump because of the slapping of her fins. I like that Cabo Trek is respectful of these beautiful creatures and knowledgeable. Captain Adrian did a great job managing a few swells we had while keeping up with the whales. We headed back to the Marina and still caught a glowing sunset behind the Arch. Absolutely spectacular!

We had an absolutely amazing time! We booked a day or two in advance and on the day of the trip they called and asked if we wanted to reschedule due to the high wind. We said no way we want to go! The wind died down and we were the only group on the boat. Vanusa our marine biologist and Freddie our captain were amazing. We saw a ton of whales and they were so friendly and welcoming. Vanusa was a wealth of information and so nice. It was an amazing trip!!!!

Whales, sea lions and dolphins made for a perfect last evening in Cabo! Cabo Trek was AWESOME! Phillip was very personable and answered all our questions before the trip. Monique was our guide and was super sweet and knowledgeable. With only 6 guests on this tour, it felt almost private. Super tour company, I will definitely use them again when visiting Cabo.

Another year and another amazing trip. Cabo Trek never disappoints. Warm friendly professional staff. The boats are comfortable and the captains seem to have a sixth sense for where to find the whales Every trip is staffed by an actual biologist, so the information is accurate. i really can’t say enough about this company. i did a scuba rip, whale watch, and a sunset whale watch.
If you are headed down to Cabo there really is only one choice for the best experience. Oh and if you happen to catch a staff b-day free cake!
