Neptune's Finger
This beautiful rock formation is perceived by some visitors as an inverted peninsula of Baja California or "upside-down", that is, with its final part pointing towards the sky; others find it in the form of a bishop and many others know it as the "Finger of Neptune", alluding to the god of Roman mythology.

Divorce Beach
The name Divorce was given, as a funny parody, when observing the difference on the beach of Love, where everything is calm and joy when the beach of divorce is danger and above all, madness. Swimming is prohibited due to the strong tide on the Pacific side.

Do this one!!
We switched to the pontoon boat and we were so comfortable, the captain/guide was from the US so his English was great! He took good care of us with water, sodas, beers. Comfortable seating with shade. All around perfect.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌴 We’re delighted to know you had such a great time on the pontoon boat and that our captain made the experience comfortable and enjoyable for your group. It’s always our goal to make every moment on the water relaxing and memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another perfect day in Cabo! Warm regards,

100% recommend (if you don’t get lost getting there)
We were on a Norwegian cruise and got very lost trying to find this dock A and got scammed by a water taxi. So when we finally found our Rancho Tours boat we were grumpy and hot. But they changed everything for our group of two sisters and their two daughters. Mom has mobility issues so we switched to the pontoon boat. We had comfy cushions and shade. Water, sodas, and beers provided. He was so great at explaining everything and took lots of pictures of our group. I would recommend 100%.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! 🌊 We’re so happy to hear that, despite the rough start, our team was able to turn your experience around and make your visit to Cabo enjoyable and comfortable. We truly appreciate your kind words about our crew — they’ll be thrilled to know they made such a positive impression. Thank you for recommending us and for sharing your story — it’ll surely help future travelers find us more easily! We hope to welcome you and your family again for another beautiful day on the water. Warm regards,

Fun boat activity
The boat tour was great! Tour guide waited even though I was running late. We were lucky we saw a whale jump out the ocean- which I’ve never seen before. They also take you pictures for an additional cost. Was fun !
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We're glad you had a great time and got to witness such a special moment. It was our pleasure to wait — happy you could join us!

Not good if arriving from a cruise ship
If you are arriving via, cruise ship, you'll want to avoid this company. We had to walk over 20 minutes away from where we disembarked, passing tons of other tours preying the exact same tour at about the same price. We advised we were arriving by ship beforehand but were not advised that our meeting point was so far away. Also, we specifically chose this operator as it was the only one that offered a "beach break" where we could spend a little time at the beach and return via a later boat. Upon arrival we were told there would be no beach break as the beaches were closed due to holiday (week bergen Palm Sunday & Easter), and they admitted that they're "not very good about posting that update." The gentleman who conducted the tour was very nice and we got a great look at the sites, and they're was a photographer in board that took wonderful pictures of our family and charged a very reasonable fee. We also had the good luck to see a couple whales. Overall, the tour would be worth it but only if you're not arriving on a cruise ship and aren't tight on time due to the distance from the pier for the ship arrival.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed the tour itself, the guide, and the great photos — and even got to spot whales! Regarding the meeting point: the exact location is clearly listed on our website and booking platforms prior to purchase. We always recommend reviewing this info before booking, and tools like Google Maps can help avoid surprises. As for the beach closure, it was due to a government mandate during the holiday week, and we regret not updating that info more promptly. We’re improving our communication on such seasonal changes. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again under better circumstances.

Nice little boat trip
Superb little excursion on the water. We were left at the beach of love and picked up an hour later. It was perfect!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the trip and your time at Love Beach. Hope to see you again!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Glass Bottom Boat in Cabo San Lucas, free time in Playa del Amor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cabo San Lucas.
How much does Glass Bottom Boat in Cabo San Lucas, free time in Playa del Amor cost?
+
Prices start at $30 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 Glass Bottom Boat in Cabo San Lucas, free time in Playa del Amor take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 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 Glass Bottom Boat in Cabo San Lucas, free time in Playa del Amor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 8 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 Glass Bottom Boat in Cabo San Lucas, free time in Playa del Amor?
+
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 Glass Bottom Boat in Cabo San Lucas, free time in Playa del Amor suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Glass Bottom Boat in Cabo San Lucas, free time in Playa del Amor?
+
Around 3 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 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Glass Bottom Boat in Cabo San Lucas, free time in Playa del Amor 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.
