You get on a large catamaran and first sail out to the arc for photos. The boat is ok, nothing special. It does have bathrooms. At the arc, they take photos of each group, which they try to sell later. On the way to the snorkeling spot, guests are offered two light beers. There's a stop for whale watching and we were fortunate to see several whales, and got fairly close, which was really amazing. When we got to the snorkeling spot near Santa Maria beach, we were given masks and life jackets, and told we had 30 mins to snorkel. We were not offered the kayak or paddle board, although there was one of each strapped to the side of the catamaran. The snorkeling on this particular day in late February was just ok. There were a lot of fish you could see but the water was a little murky and pretty cold, and the spot where we were was too deep to see anything on the bottom. None of the guides got in the water with us or provided any interesting information. Then back on the catamaran and the lunch is tortilla chips, salsa, guacamole, and little tuna fish salad sandwiches. All of which was just OK. The cocktails included the a splash of the typical cheap, generic alcohol, but they would add another splash if asked. After lunch, you sail back to the marina, and the bar is open along the way.

Did not do any of the activity. Did not snorkel, did not kayak, and no paddleboard. Its was a boat ride to see whales. Pretty much nothing of what was advertised. Plus the description says its a private tour “only my party” and thats also not true.

My friend and I booked the "Espiritu Santo/Sea Lion Snorkeling tour" that was advertised as a 6 hour tour with lunch and drinks for $115 per person (EXCLUDES TAX). You will pay around a total of $125 per person at the end. It was a VERY UNDERWHELMING experience. Because the island is an hour away, you will spend more time on a boat than in water.

You get about 30 minutes of snorkeling time with the sea lions and then you leave. That's it. So just be AWARE that although it is a beautiful sight to see the sea lions and the beaches, the overall in-water experience is UNDERWHELMING and over-advertised. We had weak swimmers in the small group, so they stopped the snorkeling tour early because of them. You can find other snorkeling tours with more time and better service for a better deal in La Paz.

They also got our lunch order wrong and one of us went hungry for over the entire 6 hours. The vegan lunch was not filling enough FYI - so make sure you confirm your lunch order multiple times. We called the guy Sam Carrillo and told him our lunch order and somehow they still got it wrong.

After telling them about our experience, all they did was say "Sorry - You should have booked a private tour instead - here is a discount next time". So, yeah, very unaccommodating service and below standard tour service in Los Cabos. There won't be a next time, because there are better tours and services in La Paz. CHOOSE WISELY!
