First time snorkeling
Amazing fun. Water was so clear, the guide Carla was very knowledgeable and showed us a great spot where there was a variety of fish. She answered all our questions, was so helpful and accommodating the whole trip. Our captain Jimmy was fantastic. He was super cool and took us out and around the point of lands end to see the arch and Lover's beach (not part of the snorkeling trip) as an extra treat. The trip was soo much fun and time flew by. Carla and Jimmy made it even more fun!!!
Response from the operator: We're so happy to hear you had such a fun day! We're delighted you got to discover an amazing snorkeling spot and learn more about the marine life during your first experience. Thank you for trusting our team and for sharing your kind words. We love hearing that the time simply flew by!

Amazing Snorkeling
We loved our trip to Cabo and highly recommend Manta scuba. The directions were clear on where to meet. Our guide Chewy remembered each of our names of of one friendly introduction. We were given a tour of the area and then taken snorkeling. Each of us were personally fitted for equipment and given clear instructions. Chewy did a great job of explaining some of what we would see before we got in the water. Once we got in he made sure that everyone was comfortable and showed us so many different sea creatures. He used our GoPro and phone to make sure that we had plenty of photos and videos. We loved this tour so much and it was such a great value for what we got.
Response from the operator: Thank you for this incredible review! We're delighted to know you enjoyed such a complete tour and that everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of. Sharing our favorite spots, helping guests discover incredible marine life, and creating memories they can take home is what makes our work so special. Until your next adventure!

Manta Dive: unprofessional, poor quality gear, bad experience
Little effort was made to educate the 4 snorkelers about the marine life we might see other than to pass us a laminated page with fish pictures on it after the excursion finished. Bad quality mask was basically unusable when tried on 2 different people while in the water-kept leaking water. Made the experience very unpleasant and the dive master couldn't be bothered to help much. The dive master didn't keep track of the group enough to notice when 2 out of the 4 were far behind (due to mask troubles). Generally he was totally unenthusiastic. After the snorkeling was done we were heading back to the dock when we were told we needed to turn around to meet up with another sister boat to retrieve something. The captain HIT the other boat hard when we reached it. Didn't say anything. Seemed cool with it. Totally unprofessional. Worst snorkeling experience I have ever had. Avoid. Would never trust this dive shop with a scuba excursion.

This is THE Cabo snorkeling tour!
Amazing staff, great snorkeling venue (saw more fish than I can recall with any other snorkeling tour), and attentive treatment made this tour a clear MUST DO for family visitors to Cabo. Our guide, Polo, helped us really enjoy our time in the water and was extraordinarily knowledgeable and patient. The equipment was up to date and clean. A terrific value for money as well. For snorkeling in Cabo - this is the ONE!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a special experience and got to enjoy Cabo's incredible marine life. We strive to provide safe, fun, and top-quality tours for the whole family. We hope to welcome you back very soon!

Cabo San Lucas Short Snorkeling Tour with Divemaster Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cabo San Lucas.
How much does Cabo San Lucas Short Snorkeling Tour with Divemaster Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $70 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 Short Snorkeling Tour with Divemaster Guide 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 Short Snorkeling Tour with Divemaster Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 195 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 Short Snorkeling Tour with Divemaster Guide?
+
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 Short Snorkeling Tour with Divemaster Guide 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 Short Snorkeling Tour with Divemaster Guide?
+
Around 68 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 Short Snorkeling Tour with Divemaster Guide 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 San Lucas Mexican Cooking Class Experience and Local Markets, Cabo Beach Camel Ride, Mexican Buffet and Tequila Tasting, Cabo Whale Watching: Female Crew, Guaranteed Sightings, Photos. 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.
