    Amazing tour!!!
    This tour was amaaazing. We ran into the Cabo Trek booth by accident walking around La Marina and it was the best "accident" ever because we had such a great time! My husband and I went snorkling in a private tour in Pelican rock with them and Felipe made sure we saw all the magic under water. He has great deal of knowledge of marine life and ensured we saw all of it. We were able to see a great variety of fish, also got sight of an octopus, jellyfish and an eel. Also a really pleasant surprise is that he got to take us pictures with his special camera under the sea which was incredible for our memories and experience!! Can't recommend enough if you're looking for any guided tour when in Cabo! Can't wait to come back for more tours and maybe whale watching!

    Very good experience
    It was a good experience. Pablo was our instructor and he was very informative and patient with us. We did it only once before and he made sure we were comfortable and that got the best out of our trip. The water was not that great but there was still plenty to see . Favorite part was going near the rocks . Overall we had a great time , the crew on board is very nice and they had plenty of snacks and drinks for everyone . We also had our 10 years old who never left Pablo’s side .

    A great morning snorkelling with Rays and Fishes!
    A friendly and informative snorkelling trip with Cabo Trek to see mobula rays. We did the morning trip and managed to snorkel amongst a number of groups of rays on the Pacific side of Cabo, before we moved to the area around Pelican Rock to snorkel amogst the wealth of fish species that call it home. Guide Silvia was engaging, cheerful, and knowledgeable, while skipper Freddie kept an eye out for the rays and got us where we needed to be swiftly and safety. A super few hours swimming with the rays and fishes. Drinks and snacks were provided too, which was a nice bonus. We choose Cabo Trek partly because of the small group sizes they take out - as it turned out there were just three of us our trip, so it was almost a private tour! We fully recommend Cabo Trek for snorkelling experiences around Cabo! :)

    Ray day!
    My original tour was canceled and Bea was so sweet and worked with me to get me on this one instead. What an amazing experience! I’m sorry if I get the names wrong,but Isabella and Freddy (I hope that is correct) were so kind and professional. They made sure we were safe at all times. We started the morning on a mini educational tour,then took photos by the arch. Soon after.. we went searching. The water was so clear spotting the rays was easy. Watching them swim in the water and gather at the bottom was so peaceful. The captain even spotted a turtle! Soon after we headed to pelican rock to snorkel. It was like being dropped in an aquarium. Our tour guide explained what we would see as well as a little about each fish. The only negative were all the bootleg tours who there. As well as the ignorant snorkelers who were climbing the rock, disturbing the baby seal. It was a beautiful day! Educational and peaceful. Perfect for my fellow marine animal lovers, adventurers, solos, and couples. I look forward to using them again! Please be aware you will be in deep water and the waves can be pretty moody. Life jackets are provided.

    An extraordinary experience we won't soon forget.
    This company is professional and safe. We chartered a 2 hour snorkeling tour with my wife and 13 year old daughter and it was absolutely wonderful ❤️. Vanuza, our guide and a marine biologist, was informative about the history of the coastline and the sea life we encountered. Freddie was our captain and had his eye on us the whole time we were in the water. I would never use anyone else but Cabo Trek. They go in small groups for a personal experience and it shows

    Ten stars!!
    I like that it was a smaller boat. That alone made the experience more pleasant because you’re not fighting a ton of people. The guide was the best!! She was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We had three children with us and she was so patient with them. The area of the excursion itself was the best snorkeling I’ve ever seen!! Even the equipment was great. Overall, a fabulous experience.

    You won’t regret doing SCUBA with Cabo Trek
    Another great experience with Cabo Trek. This was our third dive trip with them and our fist time diving the “Corridor.” Their guide and captain are top-tier and we can’t wait to come back to Cabo and dive with them again.

    Class Act that educates about the precious marine ecosystem of Cabo
    Sylvia, our guide, and Freddie , our captain, made our experience even more enjoyable. They truly are a class act and very personable to talk with. Thank you for the time took to tell us more about how work is being done and action is being taken to restore marine life in the area and to protect the reefs.

    Amazing experience
    Mobula Ray snorkeling tour with Vanuza and Freddie was amazing! We snorkeled with hundreds of mobulas and saw so many flying/jumping mobulas from the boat! We even witnessed mating tortugas! Our little group of guests were fun too! It was a great experience!

    A must for everyone who loves the ocean, marine creatures and adventure
    Vanuza is a very passionate marine biologist! She described the biology and behavior Mobula rays in great detail. Fredy did an amazing job steering the boat directly into the school of Mobula rays. It took us only about 10 min before we saw the first Mobula aggregation (probably over thousand of them) and we had multiple opportunities to swim with the rays. Vanuza would always jump first into the water to check the situation and was constantly giving us signs and directing as to the Mobulas that were swimming close to the surface. The timing was perfect! Compared to other tours that I have booked in different parts of the world this was my favorite and I highly recommend it!Thanks Vanuza and Fredy for the great time!!!

    An amazing experience
    Vanuza and Fredy took us on what turned out to be a once in a lifetime adventure. Though we initially went out to see Moruba Rays, we ended up being involved in facilitating help for an entangled gray whale. We were so impressed at their knowledge and respect for all the wildlife we saw, the snorkeling was amazing and they did a wonderful job at making us feel welcome. I would highly recommend and would love to come back for more adventures! Thank you again Vanuza and Fredy!

    This is a MUST if you in CABO!
    If you want to do some whale watching while you're in Cabo - and you'd be crazy not to - the folks at Cabo Trek will go out of their way to make sure you have the excursion of a lifetime. There is no way to put into words just how exciting, informative, and amazing this experience was. We were in great company with an amazing captain and guide - and they definitely knew what they were doing. We found more whales that we could have hoped for and watched moms and calves surface up close and put on a breaching show unlike anything we could have hoped for. Cabo Trek is simply outstanding and when we return to Cabo, we will be going out with them again!

    Whale Watching
    My Aunt, a friend and I went on a whale watching excursion with this group. It was the most incredible experience. We saw so many whales and their babies up close and the guides were so educational and fun. The value for what we spent was also unbelievable. A lifetime experience and wonderful memory.

Monique, our guide, was so wonderful with providing educational entertainment for a diverse age group. I have two young boys and a hot topic these days in my adventure of motherhood is toxic masculinity aka machismo, and how to prevent it. Introducing them to baby turtles helped increase their empathy and emotional IQ. They also got excited about a possible future in marine biology and understood the connection between, save the turtles, save the waves, save us from extinction. We hope to come back and do the Whale Shark tour.

Truly a must when visiting Cabo. This is my 5th year visiting and this was the first time doing the turtle release. It was one of the most memorable experiences. Very informational about the turtles, their habitat, the environment and watching the hatchlings run toward the sun and the surf to start their life was amazing. The marine biologist was so nice and so full of information - and the beautiful sunset on the beach was an extra bonus. Plus we were lucky enough to see a pod of 6 whales breach and swim by!! I cannot give a higher recommendation!

We booked the turtle release for our honeymoon trip to Cabo because my husband has always had an interest in and loves learning about sea life, especially sea turtles. After a short ride to the ranch with the turtle hatchery, two people working for the ranch gave us a presentation and shared their knowledge about the turtles and their habits. We all walked to the beach at sunset to release the turtles. Between the two workers at the ranch and CaboTrek’s marine biologist, we were taught how to safely release the sea turtles and watched them all until they had made it to the ocean. After a different “adventurous” tour that morning, we were worn out and this ended up being the perfect tour for the end of a long day. We learned a lot, we left with a sense of doing something good (they even encouraged us to name the turtles we released…it was such a personal experience), and it was easygoing, almost relaxing. We are so glad we did this turtle release and definitely recommend it to others.

We were in Cabo end of December, which is at the end of the turtle release season. I emailed the company to see if we'd still be able to experience this. They said that they still had eggs and turtles hatching and kindly opened up some times for us to book. You start at their shop in the Marina and they take you in their car to the Ranch on the beach about 30 minutes away. Alex was our Marine Biologist and did an excellent and informative presentation about the turtles. My kids were engaged and we all learned a lot. Afterwards, we did a short, 5 min walk to the beach and had about 50+ turtles we were able to release. We stayed until we saw all the turtles make it to the ocean. Meanwhile the sun was setting, it was so beautiful. The staff, Alex, Aurore and Sam were all very kind and make it a meaningful experience for our family. We got some amazing pictures of the turtles, the release and the sunset.

This was easily one of the best experiences for our family on vacation. We were a group of 8 with 4 adults and 4 kiddos (6, 8, 8, 9). We all loved it. The location/scenery is amazing, and the entire experience was fantastic. We released about 250 baby turtles. It's a good mix of education, beautiful scenery and unique experience. Silva, our guide, was fantastic. If you have a group of 8 or more, I'd highly recommend requesting a private tour.

My daughter and I had a wonderful time on this tour. The staff were all very friendly and it was a short 20 min ride from downtown Cabo to the ranch located north on the Pacific Ocean where we were given a presentation then headed to the beach to release the turtles.
It was by far a highlight of our trip to Cabo for myself and daughter as we watched the little turtles head into the ocean with the stunning sunset and even whales not far off the shore.
I would highly recommend this trip and Cabo Trek and would do it again for sure.

My girlfriend and I did the turtle release. It was amazing. The marine biologist that accompanied us gave a presentation about the different sea turtle species, and answered many questions from the group before we set out to the beach. Once at the beach the guide from the turtle ranch told us about the nests, how they protect the eggs, and other information. We then went to the edge of the water to release the turtles. We had many more turtles than people, so there were at least 4-5 per person to release. The kids loved it. A great bonus is the incredible sunset you get to experience.
One of the best activities you can do in Cabo with kids or adults that brings you closest to nature.

Wow. Such an amazing experience! My husband and I did this for our honeymoon and were not disappointed. From the booking process to the pickup to the actual event, everything went very smoothly and was amazing. The staff were so helpful and the marine biologist on site was extremely knowledgeable about her work. My husband has dreamed of working with sea turtles from a young age and shared when the activity was done that this was a dream come true for him. Worth EVERY cent and then some!

We learned so much and were able to help release almost 100 turtles. Our guides were friendly, helpful and informative. I highly recommend this tour. The beach was stunning and they gave us all time to see the babies enter the water!
