We always have a fantastic time with Cabo Adventures. I would say this is our 6th or 7th excursion with the company and we always are impressed by the service and the experience we have. This was no different. From the door to for transportation to the fantastic food and drink offerings to the beautiful boat (with a restroom!) and fantastic staff - just everything was great. Of course the snorkeling with the sea lions and other marine life made the experience what we sign up for and was amazing, but when you see other groups going by with nothing and we are munching on yummy food and having cocktails, you know we picked the right group to book with. Don’t miss out!!

Absolutely loved our experience. We were all first timers and this was perfect for us. They were so accommodating. Will do again if I ever come back to Cabo, highly highly recommend.

At first, no one was there to greet us. But after we talked with the taxi drivers they directed us to Pascal who took us to our condo
