We have been on a small boat with only 6 people (incl our two guides). After having a short stop at a hot spot with dozens of other boats and spotting some whales at distance we went full speed to a lonely spot again seeing some whales at a distance until they approached *us* in our nutshell obviously being curious for “human watching”; an experience which would have been very unlikely on one of the “luxury” tours. Ani and our captain were equally astonished as we were and we will keep the memories (and photos) forever. Thanks for this amazing experience and best wishes for your future tours!

Casey and Luis were very professional. My friend and I had a GREAT time! Kayaking was really nice and Casey took some nice pictures of my friend and I. I enjoyed the stop we made at Lovers Beach and the snorkeling was also fun. Great group of people we were with. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Cabo

So good!! Admittedly, I was in a good coma…each authentic taco place was unique and delicious! I might do it again this year…and a tequila tasting at the end. Perfect.

The whole crew was amazing and so engaging! Would recommend doing this excursion any time! Such a fun group and they really went out of their way to have fun with us.

The captain and crew were great! Saw lots of fish, had lots of drinks. Good music, would recommend for sure
