The most beautiful experience in Cabo.

The experience is incredible; they show you beautiful landscapes, give you time to take your photographs at the Arch of Cabo, and the attention is superb. I loved it; they also give you time to be at the beach of your choice.

First Trip to Cabo — Private Boat Tour Gone Wrong

My travel companion and I were visiting Cabo San Lucas for the first time and wanted to experience El Arco and Lover's Beach via a private glass-bottom boat tour. We booked through Viator specifically to avoid the hassle of negotiating at the marina and to ensure a quality, vetted experience. We have used Viator for years across multiple countries and have always had positive experiences with their operators — until now. We booked a private tour with Gregory Tours departing at 9:00 AM on June 12. We arrived at 9:03 AM to check in and were told to wait. At 9:10 AM someone appeared and informed us our private reserved boat had been given away because we were "late." Three minutes late. On a private tour. I am a reasonable person — if we had been 15 minutes late I would understand. But arriving at 9:03 for a private reservation and losing the boat at 9:10 is simply not acceptable. Viator issued a full refund, which we appreciated, but no refund replaces the experience we came for. I would strongly advise avoiding Gregory Tours. More importantly, I hope Viator reviews this operator — one bad operator can undermine the trust travelers place in their entire vetting process.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment and frustration caused on what should have been an exciting part of your first visit to Cabo San Lucas. Based on our records, the boat had already departed when you arrived for check-in. While we understand your perspective regarding the timing, our departures must operate on schedule to avoid delays and disruptions. We appreciate that Viator was able to assist with a full refund, but we understand that this does not replace the experience you were hoping to enjoy. We value your feedback and regret that your first impression did not reflect the standard of service we strive to provide. We wish you all the best on your future travels. — Boat Trips Club Team

I'm not one to take the...

I'm not one to take the time to give poor reviews, but this was a frustrating experience. The tour was very poorly managed. We did not get what we paid for - we booked the private, glass bottom tour and the only reason we were private is because we spoke up as we were being shuttled toward a boat with a large group of people. When we arrived there was no clear organization - we waited with some apparent tour operators and other guests. When the "tour manager" showed up, he was not at all friendly & quite frankly seemed annoyed to be there. I imagine it gets frustrating dealing with tourists, but we are always respectful and have manners, yet were treated with annoyance. When I spoke up that I paid for a private glass bottom boat, we were met with suspicion. He called around and got a private boat, albeit not a glass bottom like I paid for. The only reason any stars are being given are for the boat driver.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet expectations. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide. We would appreciate the opportunity to investigate what happened regarding the private glass-bottom boat booking and the service you received upon arrival. Please contact us with your booking details so our team can review the matter thoroughly and determine whether a refund or other resolution may be appropriate. — Boat Trips Club Team
