We took a whale watching tour with Kelly Cabo and it was so much fun for my family! My only regret is not getting enough pictures as we were having so much fun.
We were super bummed that we didn’t get off of the cruise ship in time to make it in time to our originally booked trip with another company.Thankfully we met Kelly on the dock and he totally hooked us up last minute with a trip around the arch and out to hang with the whales. It was the perfect size boat, it comfortably held about ten of us and we were right on top of the water. After we drove past the arch, Kelly literally raced out to the action, passing multiple other boats to get us a front row position to a mama and baby Humpback whale frolicking out in the water. It was so cool watching them go up and down out of the water, the mama was huge!
Kelly was a great captain as he was searching the area looking for other spots of action, and all together we saw 8 humpback whales as he was able to get really close to them (safely). We highly recommend his tours, it was my wife’s absolute dream to see whales up close and he totally delivered. Thank you so much!!!

Did a fishing charter with Kelly Fish Charters, and Matt and Ismael were beyond incredible. I was with my fiance and her mom and they did a great job of keeping them entertained and feeling included. We were after the allusive marlin for almost the entire 4 hour charter. Ismael was a maniac the entire time, flying around, tying lines, cutting bait, etc. It was mesmerizing to witness. I was starting to think we were going to strike out for the day but Matt and Ismael weren't about to let that happen. They cruised over to their trusty bottom fishing grounds and within minutes we were on grouper and rock fish. Ended up with 6 keepers in less than 30 minutes, which was 30 minutes or more past our scheduled charter time. It meant more than they know that they took some extra time to make sure we were able to get some fish to take to Solomon's Landing and grill up. Which was killer by the way. Worth every penny. We will be back in September and we will be booking another charter with our new friends Matt and Ismael! Thanks fellas!

My wife and I booked a fishing trip with Ismael and Kelly sport fishing in Cabo! Not only was this the first time we have been to Cabo but our first fishing trip as well. Not only were we impressed by his knowledge of the Pacific and the surrounding areas, he put us on fish instantly. We ended up with our limits of Mahi-mahi and even caught a Blue Mahi-mahi. Had some bites from some Marlin but didn’t sink the hook. I will definitely be back and use Kelly Sportfishing every time, class act awesome Captain and very affordable!

We had a mind boggling whale watching experience with Ismael. He runs a clean powerful boat and gets you to the whales quickly and comfortably. He shared his enthusiasm and was as happy as we were to see the whales. He gave as a first class experience at an honest price. He didn’t try to shorten the time on the water looking for whales or inflate the price like some other operators do. Afterwards he shared underwater videos he captured and didn’t ask to be paid for them, We went out with him three different times. We are professional travelers and this is our third whale watching season in Cabo. From now on, we’re using Kelly Boat Cabo.

My dad and I went fishing with Ishmael back in October. Although we didn't have the best of luck catching the bigger fish, Ishmael was incredibly patient and knowledgeable about everything. As we fished, he also acted as a tour guide and we truly enjoyed the trip. It was very memorable as we got to see so much incredible sealife which he made sure we got close-ups and enjoyed the experience. It was so enjoyable that we joined him again before our trip ended (and we also had a stroke of better luck the second time). I caught a beautiful Dorado (my first) and we got to make friends with the resident sealion of the marina. Had we stayed longer we would have definitely planned for a third trip out! We look forward to returning and going fishing with Ishmael again! He is an amazing human being and we felt safe and enjoyed his sense of humor immensely. We later found out that he does other tours as well, which we will book for the next time we are in Cabo.
Gracias Ishmael!
Gracias Ishmael!

Amazing fishing trip with Ismael and Juanito! Best trip of the week. Caught tons of fish (prepared and eaten at the resort we stayed at) saw whales, and lots of laughs! Our boys had the best time ever and so did we. We will be back for sure. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories.

Nice people, but not a smooth experience. Do not recommend.
Instead, I'd recommend just finding a water taxi (we consistently got one for $5 USD per person one-way) to drop you at Pelican Beach. Our experience with this "tour" was this: we got to their booth and they seemed confused even though we had a reservation, we waited 30 minutes after our appointment time for them to say we would go with a whale watching tour boat to get dropped off at Pelican Beach for 1.5 hours. There was no "tour" (ended up being fine with us, because Pelican Beach is amazing so just go there). It was way more fun and more organized to do it on our own. Also, on-your-own way is much cheaper.
This tour: $15 rental + $40 price + $1 boat fee = $56
On your own: $15 rental + $10 boat fee = $25 (and that's if you don't have your own snorkels!

This tour was amazing! The guides were very nice, patient, and knowledgeable. Both kayaking and snorkeling was so much fun. We also explored Lover’s Beach and Divorce Beach. We saw several sea lions and swam with hundreds of fish! Snacks were provided as well. I’d recommend this tour to anyone... But be sure to bring your arm strength with you!

Greetings! Two of us are arriving on Jan 25th from the Astoria (Cruise & Maritime ship.) We would like to tour the tip of the Peninsula with you, and also spend 30 minutes to 60 minutes on Lover's Beach photographing the rock formations. Can this be arranged? What are our options?
