1.Los Cabos Luxury Sailing, Snorkel and Lunch Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,515 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $149Our pick

Review of Los Cabos luxury sailing, snorkeling, lunch, open bar, hotel transfers, whale sightings, costs, and practical tips for booking.

“The actual event was spectacular! However, the pick up time was very poorly communicated. Everything in my inbox and on the app said that they were picking us up at 11, but they showed up at 10. They almost left without us. It was very stressful - running to the lobby, begging them to wait for my husband and son. I would also recommend to the organizer that they prohibit cell phone calls. On the way back from the excursion, three different families were on speakerphone with other family members doing FaceTime and phone calls. It was so distracting and disrupted the peace of the excursion.”

Review of Cabo’s luxury catamaran whale watch, with whale calls, Arch views, drinks, snacks, pickup details, costs, and practical tips.

“The employees are amazing and we saw multiple whales just as promised. The boat is beautiful. But it is very challenging to walk on the boat and the rail on the luxury boat low. Older adults or anyone with disabilities should be careful. I am recovering from cancer and I almost fell over board. It’s very easy when the rail goes to your knee or lower. Be careful. Hotel said it dangerous. But we loved it!! Perfect for young adults. I’d never take kids on this one. Ever.”

The cruise was beautiful and the captain did a great job of guiding us to all the sites. The photographer took some awesome pictures and was not intrusive. The drinks were good, the food was delicious, and the experience was worth every penny. I highly recommend!”

Captain Jorge is very experienced, he took us to see the arch. Though it’s not quite the whale season yet, we managed to see some whales. It was fantastic! They offered us drinks and prepared food which we didn’t have room for it. Thank you for the wonderful experience!”
