Don’t take this tour. Very bad
Very bad and substandard experience. Rude guide (Joe). Bus with poor quality and uncomfortable for a ride of total 7hours round road. Old boat. Had diarrhea after eating their food.
Left me behind during snorkng , without any one to help me go back to the boat. Even 1 star for this tour is too much. Don’t take this tour,

Best thing we’ve done in Baja.
My family and I went on the boat and snorkel tour off of Belanger bay. It was the best snorkeling I’ve seen in my life. The crew—Jorge, Joe, Eddie, and Jerry—were so friendly and very informative about the area and what we were seeing. It was an experience I will not forget.

My favorite highlight in Cabo…worth the trip!
This was my #1 favorite activity in Cabo. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy snorkeling as much as I did! The corals and the many different colorful fish we saw was spectacular. Swimming in the clear waters of Balandra beach was wonderful.
The crew were all very friendly and attentive to our needs.
Cabo Adventure facilities and staff were top notch! The 2.5 hour ride from Cabo to Balandra was very comfortable in the lux shuttle.
Highly recommend!

10/10 would definitely go again!!
It was amazing!!! My husband and I had so much being on the boat plus the activities we did. We got to do some sight seeing with sea lions, got to see a couple different beach areas and snorkeling. On one of the beach areas we got to get out and go kayaking.
All in all would definitely recommend!!

Great experience
Jorge, Joe, Eddie, and Jerry made sure we had a great experience from the moment we arrived until we boarded. Joe did an excellent job explaining the entire tour in both English and Spanish, making sure everyone understood. He constantly checked that we were comfortable, offered drinks, made us feel safe throughout the trip, and provided outstanding hospitality.
The only downside was the multiple stops along the way to pick up guests from other resorts, which made the transportation take longer than expected. Other than that, the experience was excellent, and I would definitely recommend this tour.
