    Excellent guide. He did a great tour in addition to the snorkeling which we didn’t expect. 5 stars! Our family had so much fun.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear that your family had such a fantastic time on the Pelican Rock Snorkeling and Sightseeing Adventure. Our guides love going the extra mile to share the beauty and sights of Cabo beyond the water, so it's wonderful to know that unexpected tour made your trip even more memorable. We hope to welcome you and your family back for another adventure soon!

    Amazing Views

    We arranged pickup and drop-off from RIU Baja California with Esperanza’s crew, and they were fantastic from start to finish! They took us snorkeling at Pelican Rock and gave us a sightseeing tour of the famous Arch, Lover’s Beach, and Divorce Beach (which, by the way, is definitely bigger than Lover’s Beach—lol). Carlos and his team were amazing—so friendly and attentive. They even took underwater photos of us swimming and dove down to guide the fish our way. They provided a little snack to feed the fish, which made the experience even more interactive and fun. What an adventure! We had an absolute blast and would highly recommend booking with them when visiting Cabo. 😊

    Great tour!

    We had the most amazing tour with Adrian. He took us to see the arch and we took pictures first then we snorkeled. He gave a great tour and even took our photos. It was the highlight of our trip to Cabo. The views are amazing and we saw some beautiful fish.

    Response from the operator: On behalf of our entire team, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to write to us, your comments motivate us to always give our best. Sincerely

    Excellent experience, so many fish.

    The currents are quite strong here but dedicated swimming places are marked out for safety. The diversity of fish is incredible and the waters are so deep it's amazing

    Pelican Rock Snorkeling and Sightseeing Adventure: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Cabos.

    How much does Pelican Rock Snorkeling and Sightseeing Adventure cost?

    +

    Prices start at $57 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Los Cabos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Pelican Rock Snorkeling and Sightseeing Adventure 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 Los Cabos is not rushed.

    Is Pelican Rock Snorkeling and Sightseeing Adventure worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Los Cabos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Pelican Rock Snorkeling and Sightseeing Adventure?

    +

    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 Pelican Rock Snorkeling and Sightseeing Adventure 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 Pelican Rock Snorkeling and Sightseeing Adventure?

    +

    Around 11 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 Los Cabos 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 Los Cabos and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Pelican Rock Snorkeling and Sightseeing Adventure 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 Los Cabos 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 Los Cabos?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Los Cabos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ziplining and UTV Desert Adventure from Los Cabos, Cabo 4x4 ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch, Cabo Beach Camel Ride, Mexican Buffet and Tequila Tasting. 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 Los Cabos?

    +

    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 Los Cabos?

    +

    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.
