Swim with whale sharks from Los Cabos to La Paz, with wetsuit gear, panga boat time, and classic Baja fish tacos included.
“Was about a two-hour bus ride. But stopped at an organic market that was great halfway through the ride. The boating ride was great. our guide Mario was amazing. The tacos for lunch were good. I saw whale sharks and got to swim with a few. Saw dolphins up close as well. It was a great trip!!”

Half-day Cabo snorkel cruise with sea scooters, two bays, lunch, and open bar, plus sea lions and the famous arch.
“Jorge and the crew were amazing. I was traveling solo, and they made it a point to make sure I was taken care of. The snorkeling and the whale-watching made for a perfect day in Cabo.”
Luxury yacht sail and snorkeling in Cabo San Lucas with open bar, lunch, and small-group access to Land’s End and El Arco.
“Fantastic sailboating experience. First hour we snorkeled, it was great! We saw thousands of fish. Then we sailed to the arch for pictures. After that we sailed around the bay drinking and eating lunch, chips and salsa. And as a bonus we saw 2 humpback whales. In total 3 hours, 9-12pm. Would do this again!”
Cabo Blue’s 3.5-hour snorkeling cruise hits Land’s End, includes lunch and open bar, and often includes humpback whale sightings too.
“I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to this time because we had a great time. This tour really made our trip! The trimeran was comfortable, the food was good, and the snorkeling was great. We had about 45 minutes to snorkel in Santa Maria Bay. In early December the water temperature was perfect. As a bonus, the captain was able to get us relatively close to several different pods of Humpback Whales and we were able to view, photograph, and video a full range of whale activities including breaching and fin slapping. We will definitely book with them again next time we are in Cabo!”
Cabo glass-bottom tandem kayak and snorkel at Santa María and Chileno Bays, with pickup, gear, and a bilingual guide for two reefs.
“The best part about this experience was that the boats and other tour companies could not get as close as we could on our kayaks to the arch and the sea lions. The water for snorkeling was crystal clear and there was abundant sea life. Rock formations were beautiful. The water and the marina is a little choppy. Consider this if you get seasick. Our tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Maury & Javi we will see you next time!”
Cabo Blue shared snorkeling cruise to the Arch and Santa Maria Bay, with open bar, lunch, and full gear in about 3.5 hours.
“Wonderful experience on the Cabo Blue. Crew is very professional, attentive and fun. They kept the drinks flowing and the music pumping. We saw multiple whales and the snorkeling in Santa Maria Bay was excellent. Tons of colorful tropical fish! We took the sunset cruise two days before and we liked it so much, we booked the snorkeling cruise!”
Luxury French catamaran snorkeling from Cabo to La Paz, with Balandra bays, kayaks, open bar, and a long scenic ride.
“Such an amazing experience! Food, friendliness of staff, and the views were all remarkable. And the beaches were absolutely stunning. Shoutout to our crew on 3/23. Pablo, Ana, Jorge, and the Captain (my spelling is probably wrong) they were all phenomenal. Jorge’s Guac was one of the best things I tasted while here!! The man can throw down in the kitchen lol”
Half-day Cabo snorkeling with trained shark guides in the Sea of Cortez, plus Arch views, gear, snacks, and underwater photos.
“No sharks stayed in one spot 9am-12pm. We learned most times they only see 1-3 sharks if they are lucky. You hold on to a rope and if there are waves and if it’s a full boat like ours you’re seeing more flippers and backs of heads running into each other. We were given a 1/2 off voucher to come back. We won’t be going back.”
Shore snorkeling in calm Santa Maria Cove and Chileno Bay with gear, wetsuit, and hotel pickup, about 3 hours.
“Easy beach snorkeling. Plenty of fish and clear water. No messing with boats. Pick up from hotel and everything is taken care of for a beach day. Umbrella, chairs and liquids. Ask for Hugo. Good English and very helpful, even swims with you and shows exactly where to go. Nice morning getaway..”
Paddleboard to El Arco, snorkel at Pelican Rock, and float past Cabo’s famous beaches with small-group guides plus pickup and gear.
“We had an amazing experience! The guides were fantastic. You should know there is No boat or booze. I booked this thinking there was a boat/booze cruise. The experience is beautiful from the beginning to the end. Only thing I would recommend is maybe an ice chest full of alcohol to celebrate at the end.”
2-hour Los Cabos Arch and Lovers Beach tour with snorkeling at Pelican Rock, guided by Luis from Baja Snorkel, $67.
“Very well organized and friendly. Luis ensured that those that never snorkled before had extra attention and care. He also took fantastic photos.”
Private 3-hour catamaran cruise in Cabo San Lucas with snorkeling, paddleboards, open bar, lunch, and whale season sightings.
“We are so happy that we found Papillon cruises on Viator. We were in Cabo celebrating a 40th birthday and were hoping to get out on the water and do some snorkeling. The catamaran we booked for our 4PM tour was having issues and we were upgraded to the 42’ foot yacht. Miguel and Miguelito were both wonderful. We were well taken care of during our adventure. Miguel was a great captain and Miguelito made sure that our drinks were never empty. The snacks were great, too. We learned about the rock formations, cruised as long as we wanted and found a great spot for snorkeling. I would highly recommend…”
Pick the day out first, then the town it happens in.
