Beautiful day !
Gorgeous ! We saw about ten humpback whales, some jumped out of the water. Snorkeling trip with lots of fish
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic experience on our snorkeling trip. Observing ten humpback whales, some of which even breached out of the water, must have been absolutely breathtaking. We're delighted that you were able to witness such incredible moments in nature. Thank you for choosing our snorkeling trip, and we hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future!

This is who you NEED to call to set up your perfectly customized trip
Total flexibility. Reliable knowledgeable friendly guides. A+ adventures. Can’t say enough good things about our trip. We had the whale watching/snorkel combo but when the whale watching was just amazing, we were able to flex and drop the snorkel part and just follow a pod and their shenanigans for over an hour. No worries about being back exactly on time, we also had a 15 min early departure because we were prompt and prepared to go.
Response from the operator: We're beyond happy to hear that your tour was a total success! It sounds like it was a great day. You're always welcome, we hope to see you back anytime soon. Thank you for your review and choosing Cabo Private Guide!

Great Whale-and-Snorkel Experience!
We loved our morning with Cabo Private Guide! Edgar took us on a boat tour, leaving from San Jose del Cabo. We saw several whales, and we also snorkeled. While snorkeling, we saw several groups of soldier fish, and we saw parrot fish and puffer fish too. The snorkeling was a bit too cold for us (in mid-March), but Edgar was very flexible and allowed us to spend more time whale watching after leaving the snorkeling site a bit early. Seeing the whales was an incredible experience. We saw a mom-and-baby pair, as well as several whales traveling in groups of two or three. The boat ride is also a great way to see Cabo's coastline, with its impressive beaches. Also fun to look at the fancy houses.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your review! We are very happy to hear you had fun with us on one of our unique San Jose whale watching tours. We realise even though we supply warm wetsuits the whale action can be hard to leave! See you next season

Incredible whale viewing
INCREDIBLE! The whale watching and snorkel combo was fantastic! We saw a pod of wheels breech at least about 10 times and were able to follow them with the boat! We did the private tour and it was well worth every cent. Ana was amazing, very friendly and knowledgeable! Angel the boat driver was also wonderful in finding the whales! Would definitely do over again.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to review our unique whale watching and snorkel combo tour. Ana told us how amazing the breaches were and we're very happy you had such a great encounter.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Whale Watching Snorkel Combo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Cabos.
How much does Whale Watching Snorkel Combo cost?
+
Prices start at $175 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 Whale Watching Snorkel Combo take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Whale Watching Snorkel Combo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Whale Watching Snorkel Combo?
+
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 Whale Watching Snorkel Combo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Whale Watching Snorkel Combo?
+
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 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Whale Watching Snorkel Combo 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.
