Excellent experience - Excellent experience! The catamaran was clean and very well maintained. The entire crew was very attentive. They served us drinks & a delicious meal.
We had a stop at el arco were we had plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the view, then continued to the snorkel were there was plenty of marine life. We even got to see a group of turtles along the way.

Incredible Cabo Experience – Perfect for Families! -
We had an amazing time in Cabo San Lucas and this excursion was a highlight of our trip! We were visiting for my son’s senior trip and staying at an all-inclusive resort, but wanted to explore beyond the property—and this snorkeling tour was exactly what we were looking for.
Booking was seamless and finding the meetup point was super easy. The first leg of the trip is about 1.5 hours and they hold off on serving alcohol until after snorkeling, which was great for keeping things relaxed and safe. (Just a heads-up if that’s something you like to plan around!)
The boat felt spacious and comfortable—we never felt crowded or like we had to fight for a good view. The staff was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the whole experience.
After snorkeling, we were treated to a delicious taco bar lunch, open bar, and dancing on the ride back. The onboard MC was hilarious and had the whole boat laughing—including getting my 18-year-old son and his friend to join in on the Macarena! It was the perfect balance of adventure and fun.
Highly recommend—10/10 experience!

Top tier excursion! - The catamaran was beautiful and clean. The crew, Enrique, Jose and the others were all welcoming and friendly. While snorkeling in calm clear water we saw many fish. The equipment was in excellent condition and sanitary. There was a clean water shower after being in the ocean. Lunch was fresh tacos and accompaniments. The marinated carne was especially delicious! We were lucky enough to see breaching whales on the return trip.
We would definitely recommend this experience. In fact we are going to do it again with a friend who is joining us next week.

Would recommend! - We booked this excursion for our family of 6 (kids ages are 14, 12, 8 and 6) and it was fantastic! The service was fantastic, the views were amazing, and the lunch was delicious! We were a bit disappointed with the snorkeling (was very short and not able to see much), but we were told the current was strong and we could not get close to the shores. I would definitely do this excursion again!

Awesome day! - Had an awesome day on the Sunrider, with a friendly and attentive crew, great lunch, unlimited beverages and tremendous views of the arch, fish and whales. We had a big bonus seeing humpback whales breaching - a true “national geographic” experience. A tremendous family experience and highly recommended this tour!

Great day on the ocean - We went on this sail and snorkel trip yesterday and bonus - we also got to see whales and fish for a bit. These guys are amazing and so accommodating. The boat was clean and the crew is very professional. I liked that they had folding chairs on the boat, so that people weren’t just laying ransoming on the deck. While the winds picked up a bit at the end of our trip, the boat was big enough where we didn’t feel the waves, as we have three people in our party who occasionally get motion sickness. The water during this time of year is still pretty cold, like 60 degree water - brrr. We knew this going in and while we got in for a bit, we also knew the array of fish you’ll see on this trip is pretty limited (we also knew this going in - been to this cove before…) so we weren’t too bummed about the cold water. We will book this trip again.

Great catamaran ride with fun staff!! - This was such a fun excursion. The staff is amazing and the boat is very nice. We had a great time and would do it again. The staff takes this trip up so many notches with their energy and non-stop interaction.

Crew was amazing, directions not so much - The boat, food, and crew were amazing. The only complaint is the directions on where to meet at the designated time. I walked all over town for 30 minutes with crappy directions. The website brought me to an address that was never found. I finally asked a local for directions and he brought me to dock #4 where the boat is docked. It should have been more clear, and if they wrote "meet at the marina, dock #4", it would have been a simple find.
