This sucks don’t book .
The worse .. do not book just get water taxi .. they dropped us off at beach and charged us 500 pesos for our life jacket to snorkel . I have done many trips never ever was charged for life jackets . We were under the impression it was a snorkel tour ..
Response from the operator: Lisa, you know very very well that NO ONE FROM OUR BUSINESS CHARGED YOU EXTRA FOR A LIFE JACKET. You had your own snorkeling equipment and didn't ask for life jackets. Our company simply thought you didn't want it because you are sooooo experienced and didn't ask. Then you overpaid some street vendor at Pelican Rock for an umbrella that came with life jackets. You are just mad because I laughed when you said you are supposedly someone important on social media (still funny by the way). I refunded you completely even though you renting more equipment from a street vendor when you simply could have asked the captain was not our fault. I truly hope you have the kind of vacation you deserve.

Arturo was amazing as a...
Arturo was amazing as a guide. He was friendly and helpful. We messed up our timing and he helped us meet up with the group so we didnt miss out on the tour. We went out on the boat along the coast line and he took us to a place to snorkel and fed the fish so they were all around us. He took us to a restaurant on the beach foe lunch which was good but very expensive then to the adventure park for the ropes course and zipline.
Response from the operator: Sounds like a great time!!! Thanks for taking the time to let people know :) Enjoy the rest of your time in Cabo

Meeting point was...
Meeting point was elusive. The whole reason we booked this tour was to go to Lovers and Divorce beaches. We did not go there. Pelican Beach was virtually unswimmable. There was no place to sit, or put things. We were extorted every step of the way. We still tipped our boat driver after all of this. He did not like his tip amount. Very unhappy.
Response from the operator: Hi, you were offered your money back before the tour started because the sea was too dangerous to be able to do the full snorkeling tour and you called me from right next to the check in location. I am sorry that happened to you but we can not control if it is too dangerous to do the full tour. The best we can do is tell you before hand and let you decide if you want to do the rest of the activity. If you give me another call you can go during a time when it is not dangerous. Please enjoy the rest of your time in Cabo.

Amazing crew to work woth but snorkeling was not worth it
The company was amazing to work with and were so accommodating. The snorkeling experience itself was not pleasant. The waves were so violent getting on/off the boat. Same goes for trying to get in/out of the water to get to the snorkeling rock. People were getting smashed into rocks from the waves. The crew would sprint out to try to help but it was definitely scary.
Response from the operator: Oh so sorry! It sounds like there was a cross wave that day. It does happen in Cabo for sure because of how the Pacific Ocean meets Cabo Bay. To avoid this next time, try to go as early as possible. Super glad the crew treated you so well! Give a call before you do any more of these and I can give you tips for the best experience :)

I would never book this...
I would never book this excursion again, and would not recommend anyone to book. I purchased a two hour excursion and they cut it 40 minutes short. I asked why it was cut short if I had paid for 2 hours, they did not give me an answer only that the excursion was to give us a boat tour which they did, and snorkel the remaining time after tour. We literally were in water snorkeling for 20-25 minutes tops. Then we were told we had to go back. Total excursion lasted 1 hour 15 minutes, and I paid $240.
Response from the operator: Hi, please contact us for a refund. I wasn't sure who this happened to so that I could contact you. On that tour you can actually stay longer than two hours normally. There was apparently a security issue at Pelican Rock where the providers were told to get everyone out of the area quietly. That has never happened in more than 5 years and I am super sorry it happened to you. Please get us your booking info so that we can process it for you.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cabo San Lucas Boat Tour and Snorkel at Pelican Rock: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cabo San Lucas.
How much does Cabo San Lucas Boat Tour and Snorkel at Pelican Rock cost?
+
Prices start at $71 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cabo San Lucas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cabo San Lucas Boat Tour and Snorkel at Pelican Rock take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cabo San Lucas is not rushed.
Is Cabo San Lucas Boat Tour and Snorkel at Pelican Rock worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cabo San Lucas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cabo San Lucas Boat Tour and Snorkel at Pelican Rock?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cabo San Lucas Boat Tour and Snorkel at Pelican Rock suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cabo San Lucas Boat Tour and Snorkel at Pelican Rock?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cabo San Lucas can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cabo San Lucas and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cabo San Lucas Boat Tour and Snorkel at Pelican Rock start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cabo San Lucas within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cabo San Lucas?
+
On Outty we rank every Cabo San Lucas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cabo Desert Off-Road & Beach Horseback Combo and Tequila Tasting, Humpback Whale Watching Tour in Cabo San Lucas, Cabo All-Inclusive Private Beach Club with Open Bar and Buffet. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cabo San Lucas?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cabo San Lucas?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
