An amazing crew to go explore the deep blue
Paolo and Carolina are phenomenal divers and guide. Really the type of energy needed to partake in such a dangerous adventure. Understand in advance that this isn’t for the faint of heart or inexperienced swimmers by any means. We were blessed to be educated and protected by some real pros. They even stopped off at the Arch so we could get some pics on the our way to shore. Leave your kids at home and come see some deep blue beasts up close if nature chooses to bless you on your trip to Cabo. You can’t go wrong with this company.

Great Communication
These guys where very thoughtful and accommodating. When not enough people signed up for the tour I booked they moved me to a different tour, but then when some others booked last minute they let me know and moved me back to my original your. Very professional and great communication.

Amazing experience
We joined the Cabo Shark Dive & Snorkeling Tour – Swim with Sharks in Cabo San Lucas, and we felt incredibly lucky to see a shark up close. It was truly an unforgettable experience. Our guides made us feel safe at all times. Their professionalism, experience, and respect for the wildlife were evident throughout the entire tour. We booked several months in advance and paid online. The entire process was smooth, and we never had any issues with our reservation or payment. It’s important to remember that these are wild animals, so no one can guarantee an encounter. Appreciate whatever the ocean gives you that day. It was clear to us that the entire team works hard to provide the best experience possible while respecting nature. If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate. It’s an amazing adventure that’s absolutely worth it!

Maybe another time
The winds in Cabo had been very strong all week and our original reservation for Wednesday afternoon was moved to Thursday morning. When we left the wind and waves weren’t too bad but by the time we anchored at the shark sighting spot the waves were six feet high and the winds were strong. The guide, Felipe was very good and obviously has a passion about sharks and how endangered they are becoming He gave very good instructions on how to behave in the water and what do do if sharks approach you. I felt confident in allowing my granddaughter to go in the water but I decided not to go because of the waves and he said there would be a strong current. Plus the boat only had a platform with no steps to get back on the boat. The boat was inadequate as it was difficult to get on and off with the depth between the pier and the boat deck. The toilet could not be locked from the inside. We were given no instructions on where the life jackets where - if there were any. The highlight of the trip Ironically was birds. An albatross came by trying to feed off the shark bait and made several landings on the water. Also the ships Mate was throwing up bait for other birds to catch. We’ve been on many sea escapes in Cabo and this was just not as professional as others
Response from the operator: Hi, first of all thanks for the review, we just dont believe this review is accurate. First, we NEVER anchor on our shark trips, we drift. We saw 2 beautifull silky sharks that everyone else enjoyed in the water, our bathroom has a locker from the inside, and our boat is a mighty Bertam 32ft with 2 powerfull engines of 315hp each, this is one of the most strong and seaworty boat in the market. Also the space between the dock and the boat is the same for any boat since all the docks are all built the same way in the marina. Also the guide confirmed that you didn't want to go in the water to swim with sharks on your decision. I see too many complains here, It looks like is the first time you went on a boat tour in Cabo expecially because all the other companies go out with small pangas and the port has been closed the days before due to tge high winds..

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Snorkeling or Swimming with Sharks in Cabo San Lucas: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Cabos.
How much does Snorkeling or Swimming with Sharks in Cabo San Lucas cost?
+
Prices start at $215 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 Snorkeling or Swimming with Sharks in Cabo San Lucas take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Snorkeling or Swimming with Sharks in Cabo San Lucas worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 524 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 Snorkeling or Swimming with Sharks in Cabo San Lucas?
+
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 Snorkeling or Swimming with Sharks in Cabo San Lucas suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Snorkeling or Swimming with Sharks in Cabo San Lucas?
+
Around 183 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Snorkeling or Swimming with Sharks in Cabo San Lucas 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 Cabo 4x4 ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch, Ziplining and UTV Desert Adventure from Los Cabos, 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.
