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.
Great snorkeling trip

Just got back from a really nice experience doing this tour. being my first time in Cabo i was a little uneasy about traveling around with the family, but our tour guide Maury naturally eliminated those concerns. Just a really good human and my family had an excellent time snorkeling. Great memories were made.

Swell was too high on the 2 beaches, so to keep us safe we were able to kayak out to pelican’s rock to snorkel. Marco Polo was an excellent guide and took great care of us. He led us out to swim, pointed out the different fish and help find great stuff to see. We swam with lots of beautiful fish, a sea lion, and an eagle ray. Perfect for a laid back excursion without tons of people. Such a great time!

Miu was the best guide! He to took us to the best snorkeling spot and swam with us while we snorkel guiding us through the whole adventure. My daughter who is 10 was taken care of as well, and I am a beginner snorkeler, and he really made me feel at ease he provided umbrella, drinks, snacks, and dropped us off so we wouldn’t have to walk far and just made the whole experience, easy and unforgettable while snorkeling. He pointed out beautiful marine life and we saw a sea urchin and so many incredible fish highly recommend this tour and I feel so grateful that we were able to take this very personal tour highly recommend
Amazing experience!

Josè Luis was amazing on our tour!! He did a great job during the snorkel guiding us to various marine life. We also had small children (7 and 3) and he did a great job engaging with them and keeping us all safe.

We had an amazing day with Hugo! He was very accommodating and flexible, we decided to keep closer to San Lucas and we went to a very nice beach with lots of fish, coral, and had a relaxing time listening to the waves and looking for whales in the distance. He then took us to some great spots in San Lucas and we had some really great tacos! The tuna and pollo mole were the best. Hugo was really cool and a lot of fun to hangout and chill with. A++++
