5.00Everything was better than I expected. The food was very good, drinks were cold, catamaran was great, bus was very comfortable, Sea of Cortez water was wonderful, and the staff were all very sttentive. They worked hard to make sure we felt very taken care of. It was a very long day - almost 12 hours from pick-up to drop-off. Also worth noting, there were plenty of washroom stops.
Excellent service

5.00My experience with cabo adventures was amazing! The food was delicious, the staff was super friendly and accommodating to everything!! Everything went smoothly. The catamaran was also very clean and nice! It was an average group size which was great! The drive was 2 hours to the beach and then we spent 4 hours there.
Beautiful tour/ long drive!

4.00The destination was beautiful and we saw so many beautiful fish while snorkeling. My only negative is the 3 hour drive back and fourth. I don’t feel like that was communicated as clearly as needed, as majority of the people on the tour had no idea of the long drive. It felt like the ride could have been buttoned up a bit, Less stops and wasted time.
Superb Nature Tour

5.00Best day of our Trip. It was our 30th anniversary and we loved the snorkeling with Daniel and the boat was huge and not crowded. Eddie kept the drinks flowing and all areas of the boat were amazing! I would recommend this five star Al the way. Would do our again. Adolpho recommended the lunch on the way which was authentic Mexican cuisine and real .Marlon burritos. He also phoned the restraint for ,a lost jacket a.lso.
You won’t regret this excursion.

5.00Daniel, Eddie, Adolfo and the rest of the team were the best. We never had to ask for drinks because they were always coming around while we were on the boat if we needed anything. The places they took us to were stunning. Definitely worth it. My only criticism is the marketing. While they did serve us 2 meals - breakfast and lunch- they should have mentioned that breakfast would not happen until 11:30am once you are on the boat. Thy picked us up at 6:45am so that was a long time to wait for our first meal!
Balandra and beaches is a great time. It took four hours to get there and 3.5 hours to get back, so a big investment.

4.00This Cabo Adventures Balandra and beaches is a good time and the scenery going up to and back from LaPaz is worth the visit. We enjoyed the snorkeling and kayaking and the delightful breakfast and lunch. The boat ride and scenery, and the wildlife were also enjoyable. The team — Captain Jorge, guide Giovanni, chef-steward eddy and logistics support Joe — all were great at what they did, as were the bus and van drivers. A couple suggestions for next time: put bug spray on the list of things to bring or furnish it. The nats were a nuisance. Second, have the guide provide more narration during the drive, about LaPaz, the bay and surroundings. The environment is magnificent and it would be enjoyable to have this highlighted and it would help pass the time of 7-1/2 hours in transit.
