Kayaking and Snorkeling with True Baja - My spouse and I had a great time with True Baja yesterday. Pablo picked us up near our Airbnb and brought us to Viudas beach to kayak to Chileno Bay. Our guide, Paco, was very kind and informative and took great care of us. He was also very helpful and understanding to me as a novice snorkeler. The kayaking portion was challenging but not too bad if you are in moderate shape. There is a just snorkeling option if kayaking isn’t your thing. I highly recommend booking with True Baja!

The scenery was beautiful... - The scenery was beautiful and the guide was amazing! His name was Josuey? I might have spelled it wrong, but he took 15 minutes to get me comfortable to do the snorkeling part of the tour and pulled me around with him while we snorkeled so I could just try to relax and look at the fish. It was awesome and I plan on going again next year! I didn't get good pic, i was too busy watching everything under the water! :)

Kayak adventure to catch the dawn - This was the best experience me and my family ever had, being able to catch the dawn in the middle of the sea, was pure magic…I just can’t describe the feeling…the guide was very careful, well qualified and always aware of us and surrounding. I’ll definitely will come back with true baja for more adventures!!!

Amazing day out on the water - We had a fantastic kayak and snorkelling trip! We coudn’t recommend Trubaja enough for a fantastic day out. Being on the water in the morning was amazing and we got to see some beautiful fish while snorkelling too. Josue and Paco were our guides and they were fantastic telling us some facts about the area and telling us about the fish we saw. We were also welcomed back to Chileno beach with a wonderful cheese and snack board with a delicious Corona to top the trip off. Amazing day out while in Cabo!

Amazing Views - This was one of the best excursions that we have book with Viator over the past 5 years. Kayaking was fun, a little challenging, but oh, my! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking! The snorkeling was great, as we saw so many colorful species of fish and even saw sharks and sea turtles. Highly recommend to anybody with teen children up to adults.

Kayak, Snorkel, Snacks, Shade, Private Beaches... Best Tour in Cabo Hands Down - I've been to Cabo a handful of times and this has been the highlight of all my trips so far. Pablo and Josue were super responsive, friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating from the moment we contacted them. Some of our first-time ocean kayakers were a little nervous but Josue quickly set them at ease. They made sure we all felt safe and confident to not just kayak, but to snorkel as well. We had an absolute blast kayaking, snorkeling and visiting private, secluded beaches. I purposefully wanted to avoid the big crowds at the arch and explore new beaches in the Cabo area and this tour delivered. There were little details that made this tour worry-free and extra enjoyable. We had dry bags for our gear on the kayak, granola bars and bottled water before our snorkel. My personal favorite: the chairs, umbrellas, tables, ice cold beers and homemade tortas waiting for us at Chileno Bay. A delicious and relaxing ending to a great morning. I cannot thank Pablo and Josue enough for providing my family and I with an unforgettable experience and I'll press harder to convince my other family members to do this next time we visit.

Best tour company in Cabo - This was honestly the BEST adventures I've done in Cabo! And I have been doing adventures here since 2005. Sasha picked us up from the Westin and was super pleasant and interesting. Josue was our guide, it was just my husband and I, and he gave us some kayaking tips prior to leading us into the open water! We were so very lucky and happened upon some whales playing, breaching and tail and fin slapping. We were right there - it was magical. When we arrived at Chileno bay we pulled our kayak up to the beach and Josue had snorkel gear so we were able to spend some time in the water as well. At the end of our adventure they had a lunch set up on the beach with sandwiches and beer! I would recommend. and have recommended. this adventure to everyone who loves being on the water.

Best Kayak Tour in Cabo!! - If you ever want to kayak in Cabo, then True Baja is who you want to book with. Our tour guide, Josue, was an absolute gem! He talked to us about Mexican food and Mexican history (it is not the Sea of Cortez, btw), and he kept my crazy ass from drowning 🤦🏻‍♀️ Pablo & Sasha do a fantastic job with these tours, and you will not be disappointed!

Kayak Tour - The tour was everything we had hoped for. Sasha picked us up at our hotel right at the scheduled time along with one other couple and promptly shuttled us to our departure location. There we met Josue and Pablo who outfitted us with our gear and expertly explained what we could expect on our trip. Josue was our guide for the tour and could not have been better. Told us a lot about the history of the areaas we were kayaking and could not have been friendlier. Being met with cold drinks and sandwiches on the beach at the end of our tour was a great ending. Please give True Baja a try if considering a kayak tour while in cabo. You won't be disappointed.
