Disappointing
Bought this excursion for my boyfriend and I to do when we stopped in Cabo San Lucas from our cruise. During our cruise we didn’t have any service and a limited WiFi plan so we did not know this excursion canceled on us to do boat inspections. We walked around looking for the meet up location for a long time and were total lost! The meet us location was so confusing to find. After looking for almost an hour and messaging for clarity where we aware that the excursion was canceled. They gave us two options to participate during sunset or book for the next day but since we came from a cruise both options were not possible. It’s been 3 days since and I still haven’t recieve a refund or any further update. There are a lot of local people offering the same excursion for cheaper we ended up booking a last minute excursion with a local man for $25 a dollars a person that included a tour around the coastline to see all the land marks and to get dropped off to snorkel at pelican beach. Before dropping us off we secured a pick up time and made sure we kept track of time looked out for the boat since there are multiple boats coming and going from that area picking up and dropping off various groups of people. I was disappointed in that the excursion was canceled last minute but later glad as we got the same experience for a better deal. I would highly suggest to just book an excursion with the local people there that all spoke English or English well enough to make the trip easy.
Response from the operator: Hello NATALI, First and foremost, we deeply apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment you experienced due to the cancellation of your excursion in Cabo San Lucas. The cancellation was due to a mandatory boat inspection by the authorities, which is beyond our control but essential for ensuring the safety and security of all passengers. We understand the frustration this caused, especially given the limited time during your cruise stop. We did attempt to notify you of this change 24 hours in advance. Unfortunately, we received no response, and we understand that your access to the internet was limited. We regret that this message did not reach you in time and acknowledge the difficulty this situation posed for you. Regarding the meeting point, since the tour was not running no info has been send. We appreciate that you found an alternative tour locally; however, we feel it's important to note that these options, while cheaper, may not offer the same security measures, such as insurance or legal recognition, that our company ensures for all our guests. We are currently expediting the refund process, and you should receive confirmation shortly. Our team will also reach out to you directly to ensure that all your concerns are addressed. We value your feedback and are taking steps to enhance our services and communication. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. We hope that you will consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with an exceptional experience in the future. Warm regards,

There was a small...
There was a small confusion about the meeting time/place (both were close though) but once that was cleared up an overall great experience. Nice boat, nice staff, snorkeling was good, food was good, open bar was nice quick. Just double check you’ve got the right details with the company!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! It's our mission to guide our guests through exciting adventures to amazing destinations, and we're thrilled to hear that we delivered on that promise. Hope to see you back again in Mexico very soon!

Experience was good and staff was nice, but not everyone got the full experience.
We booked a small boat (that only fits 15 people) because of needs by some family members. We were rebooked to a larger boat (that holds 100 people) without notice. The trip was fun for some but not all members could enjoy it in such a large setting. Would have changed companies had I known.

Such a blast!
This tour was so much fun and the crew were very personable. They danced and had a great time with the guest aboard. Would recommend every time!
Response from the operator: Dear Molly, Thank you for your kind feedback! Glad you enjoyed our Mexican fiesta on board. The Crew looks forward to welcoming you again in Cabo very soon!

Good time, good price, good food!
We had a great time on this excursion. The Sun Rider boat is beautiful, the staff attentive, and the food excellent! We went in April 2022. There were about 100 of us in total I would guess from various hotels in the region. We did a pass by Los Arcos and also saw the rocks where the seals were hanging out. Then it was off to snorkeling (cold and not many fish at the time, oh well), then lunch (delicious fajitas and sides), then back to the dock. The picture here is not what the snorkeling is like. The water where the snorkeling is done is at least 10 feet deep and in kind of a cove area. Overall, a good time and a good choice.

Los Cabos Snorkeling Cruise with Mexican Buffet and Open Bar: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cabo San Lucas.
How much does Los Cabos Snorkeling Cruise with Mexican Buffet and Open Bar cost?
+
Prices start at $149 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 Los Cabos Snorkeling Cruise with Mexican Buffet and Open Bar take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Los Cabos Snorkeling Cruise with Mexican Buffet and Open Bar worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 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 Los Cabos Snorkeling Cruise with Mexican Buffet and Open Bar?
+
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 Los Cabos Snorkeling Cruise with Mexican Buffet and Open Bar suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Los Cabos Snorkeling Cruise with Mexican Buffet and Open Bar?
+
Around 2 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Los Cabos Snorkeling Cruise with Mexican Buffet and Open Bar 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.
