Yacht for 2 please! - It was a great experience! We were able to have the best experience with the whales and Nadia and Arturo were so personable! Nadia took the best photos of us and didn’t make it always at all like other experiences! I know it can be tricky and overwhelming but this experience , with this company in specific I wouldn’t let pass.

A wonderful family adventure - The boat and crew Diana set us up with was perfect for our family of 14, 6 being children under 7. The Chica 1 blue and it’s crew with Nadia as a great kids helper, deckhand and bartender along with Capt Arturo who got us up close to the arch and close enough for an amazing and safe whale encounter was a memorable adventure that we will remember and recommend to family and friends.

Highlight of Our Trip! - Having gone on multiple excursions and having those excursions touted as experiences of a lifetime, 80% of them fall flat on their face. This excursion was greatly underestimated and hands down was the best excursion we have ever experienced on a cruise. From the moment our group of 12 stepped on the boat, we felt safe, important, catered to, and respected by the three man crew that gave us the ultimate level of service. Going whale watching is never a guarantee, but within 15 minutes of being on the boat, we sighted our first whale and were fortunate enough to see at least a dozen more. We were then taken snorkeling and were able to see a wide variety of marine life. While on the boat, we were catered to, never went without a drink in our hand. The lunch that was served was incredibly good. Just to give you an idea of the level of service we received from this charter, we were asked to remove our shoes prior to boarding the boat and when we returned to the dock, they had all our shoes matched and lined up and waiting for us when we got off the boat, like we were royalty. I highly recommend this excursion and cannot wait to return and do it again. Thank you for making the last leg of our trip the most memorable!!

Great experience, boat, and crew - Great experience, boat, and crew. We went whale watching and had a nice tour of the arch, lover's beach, and other CSL sights (it was too cold the day we went to get into the water). Great drinks throughout and as we were finishing up we were served tasty guacamole and ceviche (and fajitas which were just OK). In short, I heartily recommend booking with Cabo Boat Adventures.

Fabulous Family Time - Freddy and Gil were amazing guides and hosts. We saw several whales and learned a lot about their behavior from Freddy and Gil. The food and drinks were delicious and plentiful. They accommodated our request to swim at the end of the trip. All 8 of us were able to enjoy a variety of sights and activities. I would highly recommend this boat (Sweetie Pie) and the crew (Freddy and Gil). We will definitely book with them again on our next trip to Cabo.

Mixed Review - We booked our Whale Watching and Snorkelling tour direct with Cabo Boat Adventures. They communicated the confirmation of our reservation on the “Sweetie Pie,” with a recommendation to arrive 15 minutes before our departure. We were very excited about the Whale Watching and Snorkelling Tour, and it was to be the highlight of my birthday week. When we arrived at the recommended time, Pablo suggested we were too early, Captain Freddie was working on the engine, and they would come get us when they were ready. After several attempts to get the crew’s attention, Pablo finally acknowledged us 20 minutes after departure time and suggested he had a couple of deck cleaning tasks to complete. We finally got on the boat a half hour late. They did not communicate clearly what the issue was - mechanical or was Captain Freddie late? As we were departing the Marina, it was confirmed we would not be whale watching as whale season was over their “small” boat could not travel that far out - despite us watching whales from our hotel every day and remember we booked a whale watching tour. I asked about the snorkelling but that too was not an option due to the rough waters along the snorkelling areas because apparently all the fishing boats were coming in. We ended up off Medano Beach listening to the wet t-shirt contest at one of the bars and smelling the fumes from the boat being repaired next to us. The snacks were as promised and very delicious, the Pacifico Light was cold and Pablo suggested he was not very good at margaritas so no one ordered one. Pablo tried to keep everything upbeat with music, picture-taking and ensured we received the three-hour time allocation, and we made the best of the situation. Our expectations were high based on other reviews, and, while we enjoyed our excursion, it was not nearly what we were expecting.
