Sol was fantastic. He was a great guide and flexible. Took my 3 kids (16, 1:3, 11) snorkeling for the first time. They had a great time. Definitely recommend for families and small groups

Amazing paddle and snorkeling with Javier and Luis! Super fun, professional guides made the perfect adventure for our family. While kayaking, we saw humpback whales breaching 50m away plus a turtle. Both beaches were lovely, and we saw tons of fish snorkeling. Highly recommend this tour and our guides!!!

We had a great time snorkeling with Marco. He was very patient and reassuring with a few who hadn’t snorkeled much. Highly recommend him! Saw lots of colorful fish and a turtle!

We stopped at two beaches. Saw a whole lot of fish. They almost swam up to us. I enjoyed the first beach the most. The water was clearer

Jose Louis was so excellent. Our 11 year old was a bit nervous but he helped her confidence and pointed out the turtles, sting rays and we held a puffer fish. Thank you so much for our special Christmas.

This was our second tour with High Tide. Both trips were great. Would recommend this company and both guides were excellent - Marco Pollo and Jose Luis.

We had a great time with Marco, who showed us a great time snorkeling at both Santa Maria Bay and Chileno Bay. He picked us up right on time at our hotel and made us feel safe and secure the whole time. His knowledge of the local snorkeling scene is admirable and allowed him to make the most out of a short, half-day excursion. Well worth the trip to Cabo.
