Best Shore Snorkeling in the Area

Maury is a wonderful guide, who literally took us by the hand to show us a gorgeous array of fish, little (tame!) sharks, coral, and a great little locals beach. Word to the wise: bring your own towel, but the guys provide water and energy bars- perfect for a half day jaunt.
Response from Host , Mar 2022
Thank you for sharing your experience, snorkeling in the two bays Santa Maria and Chileno is beautiful, a great variety of fish, corals, and reefs. The activity includes a bottled water snack and granola bars, personal things that should not be forgotten is a towel, swimsuit, and comfortable clothes. We look forward to seeing you again in sunny Cabo.
Warm regards

One of the best snorkling trips ever. Carlos "the Spartan" made the day perfect. He gave helpful tips to get in and out of the water, provided great equipment, swam to the bottom which encouraged the fish to swim close, and even found a sea urchin which I got to hold. Carlos was knowledgeable about the area, the fish, the bays. Thank you Carlos.

Excellent customer service

We were unable to do this tour because the water conditions were too rough and the visibility was poor quality, but the guides Luis and David tried so hard to find out if there was a better option and then to find a replacement activity for us that we really appreciated the customer service.
Response from Host , Oct 2021
Hi Jenny
Unfortunately the day you have scheduled your tour we had a tropical storm in the Pacific and because of it the water was rough, we can not control the weather but we try to offer the best options we can. Thanks for appreciating that, we certainly hope to see you on your next visit to Cabo

Go with High Tide Sea Expeditions they are the Best!!
Jeremiah
, Oct 2021
This was one of the best experiences we had while in Cabo. Maury from High Tide Sea Expeditions was awesome! He speaks fluent English and has a ton of experience and knowledge about the area. He knew the best spots for snorkeling to see the most marine life and he takes pictures for you! If I could give 6 stars I would.
Fish and corals galore!!!

This was a great trip... great guide!!! And the many fish species and corals that we seen were amazing... I love to scuba dive, but this snorkeling trip was just as great...
Great experience!

Marco picked us up at our hotel. Because the conditions of the water had changed, they offered us an alternative from the original destinations and gave us the option to kayak to Pelican Rock where the water was more clear. We took them up on it and had a great time! We took a double kayak out to the cove and saw some cool fish. They were knowledgeable and were great to educate us every step of the way. They took pictures of us on the beach before returning. I appreciated their efforts to make our experience the best possible and for being honest and upfront with us. I would use them again (High Tides) through Viator.

Edgar did a fantastic job ensuring we felt comfortable, young and old alike, and had an amazing experience. The tropical fish at Chileno Beach are not to be missed! We are glad we chose this excursion.
Beautiful beaches for snorkeling

We had a great time with Luis. He was alot of fun. He showed us the best places to see fish. This was first day they opened the beaches for water activities since the storm. The water was a little murky & the waves were strong since the hurricane just came through, so timing wasn’t great for snorkeling. We saw lots of fish though and some manta rays. It was also nice to just be at a swimmable beach!
highly recommend!!

Maury Sanchez was a excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about both snorkeling spots. We saw a lot fish in both spots. He also had a gopro so he took pictures and created a memorial video for us. I would highly recommend this trip.

PePe was our guide he was very attentive to our every need. He even directed us when he went about 20m away to help another swimmer who was caught in current too close to rocks. This happened twice. They were both very grateful, and we were proud of our guide.
Response from Host , Nov 2020
Thanks for taking the time to write this review!! We are delighted you enjoyed the tour with us!! It is always gratifying to read these words!! We are also proud of our guide, is important to help any person with a problem at the ocean, no matter if the person is not on our tour!
Hope to see you again on your next visit to sunny Cabo

Maury was the best!

Everything was fantastic! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable. It was my 17 year old daughter’s first time snorkeling and he was patient with her. He took us to two beautiful places and showed us some amazing fish and wildlife. Thanks Maury we are very happy!
Great tour

Due to Covid, it turned into a private tour. Just me and the tour guide. The water at the 1st spot was a little murky but it was due to a recent storm. Maury took great care of me and allowed me to take my time and get comfortable in the water. He even took me to the pharmacy to pick up some needed items. Great tour overall.
