Description

Our snorkel tours are private and give you a chance to escape the crowd in busy Cabo San Lucas. Our snorkel guides are all qualified dive professionals and know many more parts of the reef that aren't always frequented by other snorkel tours. As a crew of dive professionals we are also very conscious of human impact on the environment and for this reason all of our tours are conducted in an environmentally responsible way.

Mary was such an awesome tour guide and our captain Irea was also awesome

If you’re looking for the giant tour groups with matching wristbands and 47 strangers, this is not your tour. If you’re looking for a relaxed, private snorkeling experience with genuinely wonderful people, book this one immediately. Maria and our captain were fantastic. Within minutes they had us completely at ease, and the entire experience felt like spending the morning on a boat with friends who happened to know all the best snorkeling spots. One small tip: when you arrive at the marina, don’t panic if you don’t see them right away. Walk left before you get to Cabo Adventures and you’ll find their shop tucked back just to the left. We almost walked right past it. The snorkeling was incredible, the boat was perfect for just the two of us, and there wasn’t a single moment where we felt rushed or herded from place to place. The only downside? Maria has now ruined all future snorkeling tours for us because our expectations are impossibly high. We’d book with Cabo Private Guide again in a heartbeat.

Operator response

This review just put the biggest smiles on all our faces! Thank you for capturing the exact vibe we strive for every single day. No herds of strangers here—just a perfect private boat day with incredible snorkeling! We are thrilled that Maria and the captain made you feel right at home. We also appreciate you helping out future travelers with the directions to our tucked-away spot in the marina. Maria is super proud of her new reputation as a tour-spoiler, and we would absolutely love to have you back out on the water with us next time you're in Cabo!

Just what we needed

It was great to have our own boat with just our family, and they accommodated what we wanted to do (which was snorkel by El Arco and Pelican Rock. Weather was 90⁰. Water was warm enough we didn't need wetsuits (but they brought them just in case). They even had a little wetsuit for my 2 year old grand daughter. She didn't like the mask, but she got in and swam in the ocean for the first time in her life. Morgane was a knowledgeable guide and pointed out cool sea creatures in the rocks and reef. All around relaxing day. Even went for a ride to see Jeff Bezos cliff mansion. Ha ha! We felt like we got our money's worth. Great day!

Operator response

We truly appreciate your kind words! Providing a private, customizable boat experience for families is exactly what we strive for. It’s great to hear that the conditions at El Arco were perfect for snorkeling without wetsuits, but we’re happy our team was ready with gear for everyone, including the youngest explorer! Thank you for recommending us, and we'd love to welcome you back for another relaxing day in the sun!

Incredible first dive experience

My first dive experience was incredible thanks to Morgane. She was knowledgeable, patient, and fun! My partner (who is certified) and I had an amazing time and were able to experience the beauty of Cabo’s ocean life because of her. Highly recommend her services.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so happy your first dive was such a great experience — it was a pleasure sharing Cabo’s ocean life with you both. Hope to see you back underwater again soon! 🌊💙

Great Private Snorkel Trip in Cabo

We had a fantastic trip with Cabo Private Guide. Xo and Miguel assured that we had a wonderful and safe experience. After snorkeling with Cabo Private Guide I can’t imagine going on one of the typical group tours. Our multi-generational family of ten had the boat completely to ourselves, which allowed us to stay on our own schedule. Xo was great in the water and showed us lots of things we would have missed on our own. Miguel deftly handled the boat and positioned us for some great photos at the arch. They were very accommodating of one of our family members who chose not to snorkel. We would definitely go out with them again.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your beautiful 5-star review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your tour with Xo and Miguel! We will love to take back in another sea activity, whether snorkeling or diving!

Awesome company, awesome experience!

We chose Cabo Private Guide because we wanted a private guide for our inexperienced party, and because they had a 5 star rating on Google (which was quite impressive). They were as good as advertised. Our guides, Dario and Xo, were awesome, our captains were awesome (even taking us to see a breaching humpback), and all of the staff that we interacted with were awesome. We have already recommended them to friends.

Operator response

Hi Melissa, Thank you so much for the fantastic 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour and our lovely team! It really means a lot to us that you took the time to share your experience with your friends We hope to welcome you back again soon on another wonderful tour ;)

Cabo Private Guide is the best

I was in a shared boat with Cabo Private Guide, their instructors are extremely professional and very well prepared, they have female wet suits in all the sizes which makes them inclusive. Definitely a 5 star dive center, they are awesome!

Operator response

Thank you so much for highlighting our inclusive selection of wetsuits for both men and women. We are female owned and have spent years squeezing into men's sizes - simply doesn't work for most of us. It's important for us to offer a service that serves the 51%!

Just book it

Excellent experience with our tour guide Angelica, who made sure we had the best experience possible. We did the private snorkel tour and it was lovely having the boat to ourselves. Angelica was incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and friendly. We had the privilege of encountering sea lions, which were hilariously friendly, swimming right up to us. We even spotted a school of rays! That was extremely unexpected, and Angelica made sure we saw them before they escaped into the deep. Overall, it was an awesome experience and I would not hesitate to book again.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful time on your private snorkel tour with Angelica. She truly loves sharing her passion for the ocean, and it’s great to know her enthusiasm and knowledge made your experience so special. Encountering sea lions up close and spotting a school of rays are unforgettable moments—we’re so glad you got to experience those! It’s always our goal to create memorable and unique experiences for our guests, and it sounds like your adventure was just that. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another trip!

Not as advertised

We took a private snorkel tour at Dec 23rd and it was a very disappointing experience. First of all - the description clearly says that we'll be visiting 2 snorkel sites, 1 in the corridor and another in Marina area. We did just one in the tourist corridor. The guide didn't actually guide us, just tell us that this is the reef, go ahead and swim. I would expect some help in tracking the fish etc. At least this is what I've seen in all my previous snorkeling experiences. What was the point to pay for a private tour if we got less attention or interaction then you usually get for grouped tour? Another thing - we supposed to get a souvenir photos, however I haven't seen our guide making any underwater pictures of us or photos of fish. I don't recommend this experience since you are not getting what you have paid for.

Operator response

Following this unusual negative review of our personalized services (which we haven't received anything less than 5 stars for in over 3 years on TA) We have investigated all aspects of the tour with the guide and captain and have come to the following conclusions: 1. Your guide is one of our most eperienced, professional and thorough team members. She was surprised to read the review here as she was under a very different impression that the tour was (in her words) 'excellent'. 2. The boat went to both areas, but you preferred to watch whales for some of the tour and this takes up a lot of your allotted in-water time. 3. We have recently excluded underwater photos and videos from the tour and in the description it explains you may still request the guide to take a basic underwater camera. We have limited cameras for free photos and Christmas is busy, so unfortunately it is first come, first served. Going forward we will be more careful to explain that and we could have provided this information in a clearer way. We do apologize for that. 4. We pride ourselves on adapting to our guest's preferences. With the guide, you chose to watch whales for some of the tour (normally a much more expensive private tour). Our tour is advertised as 3 hours and this amount of time was as promised. 5. It's difficult to believe you would receive less attention than in a shared situation. The guide was focused on you and said she Identifed many fish species that you saw in the water. 6. She did mention you both seemed unhappy for the duration of the experience and sat facing away from her for most of the time. But you seemed very happy when the whales were breaching and it was mutually decided that this was how you preferred to spend the time. We would like to share in your disappointment as we do not like to hear that you have not enjoyed your time with us. We will strive to improve our communitcation about underwater photos, but we do believe that we sufficiently manage expectations when wild life encounters are concerned. Our private tours only change according to what's advertised with your agreement and perimission on the rare and lucky occasion that there is some bucket-list, breath-taking event of nature taking place instead - like yesterday afternoon! And we do hope we helped you to enjoy that aspect of the tour. If you would like to contact the office we would be happy to share with you some of our high print-quality images of tropical fish and humpback whales to take home as a souvenir.
