Pelican Rock Plongée sous-marine et aventure

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. 😊

We had a wonderful time with Adrian as our guide. The views were amazing and we got some great photos. We especially loved the snorkeling-we saw some beautiful fish.

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.

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

I was a bit underwhelmed at the Pelican Rock snorkeling experience. The trip to the Rock was short - in fact, we were dropped there and picked up at an arranged time. So technically, it was a water taxi ride, and for that, it was too expensive. The snorkeling at the rock was nice, we saw many colorful fishes. The beach was pretty crowded (from where we went into the water) but in the water it was nice. The pickup came on time as agreed - so no complaints about our transport

No fish in the snorkeling area but plenty where the boats anchor due to feeding fish by glass bottom boats!!

My fiancé and I needed a boat/beach day. I came across this booking and we did a bit of sightseeing by the arch. I appreciate the email notification of the change in check in time- it was no inconvenience to us but glad they communicated it anyways. Checked in at Dock1 & waited for the captain to get the rest of the group. The group with us was really kind. And the captain dropped us off at Pelican Rock. We’re experienced with snorkeling, so if you’ve never done it before you should probably learn elsewhere. This isn’t “that kind” of tour very hands off & independent to the traveler as we actually very much liked. Pelican Rock was warm, clean, the sun and sand felt great. Saw tons of colorful fish by the rocks. My fiancé and a few other swimmers jumped off the high rock for fun. And as promised we were picked up in an hour & headed back to the Marina. Thanks Little Greg for a fun time! & thanks to our captain who took the great photo of us.

There just aren’t many tour operators who would bother taking a single (1) passenger out on a tour. Captain Elias was gracious enough to do so, and I got a private tour! We went out from the marina to Pelican Rock and he gave me a preview of the fish in the area by tossing some snacks for them. Wow! Then we went off to the Arc passing Lover’s Beach and a couple others very small with no name on our way. As you can see from my photo of the Arc, there were not enough boats to ruin the view. Elias is clearly knowledgeable about Cabo and the Sea of Cortez—I learned a lot from him. Like all the beaches are public! We chatted about many different things and it was a pleasure. We returned to Pelican Rock, which is actually a beautiful beach with rock formations on which there were brown pelicans galore, juvenile gulls, and even a cormorant. I’m not the most experienced snorkeler and prefer to get in the water from a boat. Elias said it wasn’t okay to do so at Pelican, so beach entry it was. The water was cold at first touch, and thereafter refreshing. I never got chilled. The fish!!! I love that in the ocean creatures swim right up to you, no fear, just curiosity. I saw a trumpet fish, an adorable small puffer, scads of yellow-striped tangs (?) a black angel with dramatic orange tail, coral and filter feeders on the rocks — couldn’t tell much about them because the waves kept pulling me away. They were pink though, a bright pink. Oh and a Parrot Fish! He was quite large, a brilliant green with blue markings. I was so astonished to see him I forgot I had my camera!😂 I chose to snorkel about an hour. Captain Elias picked me up when he said he would. On the way back to the marina I described the fish I’d seen, and he told me their names. I found him accommodating and knowledgeable and would go out with him again! Best snorkel of my vacation.

I booked this for me and my two kids (14 and 8 years). Communication with the owner was always courteous and he was even able to accommodate us when we needed to reschedule. The snorkeling experience was a disaster. Owner contracted with "Little Greg" and his boat. He was dismissive and unenthusiastic, and took us to a spot which he said was 1200+ feet deep, and provided no training, no explanation, and no safety guidelines. He just told us to wear the snorkeling gear and jump. My daughter and I were not confident swimmers and didn't dare to get in the water. My son is a strong swimmer and was eager to get in. However, since he had never snorkeled before and didn't get any training, we didn't realize that part of his snorkeling pipe was back in the water when he went in. He took in mouthfuls of salty water, and I saw him flailing about and coughing up. He was so uncomfortable that he didn’t want to be in the water for more than 5 mins and was sick afterward. Right beside us, I saw another group out snorkeling, where the kids were being led by a swimmer, holding on to a safety ring and guiding them through the water as they snorkel. I had no idea that I had signed up for something that does not include any guidance and will just abandon us into the water without any help or training. We essentially ended up paying $155 for just a boat ride around Pelican beach and Lover's beach, something you can get in a water taxi for just $5 per person.

We had a great time on our snorkeling adventure! Captain Elias was very professional, the boat was clean and well kept. The equipment was all in great shape. We felt it was a great value for the experience!
