lot - "how do I know I can trust you?". Another good one is
"why should I choose you?". Always a hard question to answer

Customer Feedback
It takes a little something
special to make people want to take time out of their lives to drop
us a note to thank us for helping them to have a good time.
Here are some of the folks who have done just that.
Thanks for
the warm fuzzies!
Let us know how you thought our service was - we love to
hear from you!
"You guys are
AWESOME!!!!! Even though we were unable to make our trip, your
customer service from start to finish was excellent. You can be
sure that the next time we are planning a trip, we will contact
you for the tours and will be sure to recommend you to others.
Thanks again!" - Debbie from Glendale, Arizona
"Hola, my name
is Rodney. I used your
airport transfer service for the first time this year for
our party of six and want to commend you on the best, easiest
service I've ever had in Cabo. I just wanted to let you know
that I almost got sucked in by the Timeshare folks upon our
arrival. We've been coming to Cabo every year, at least once,
since 2001. When we arrived I had my reservation in hand as we
exited customs. Just prior to exiting the terminal someone said
to me "hey, that's us". They pulled me over to a booth, took my
reservation confirmation and started to look at some papers. I,
being a smoker, asked him how long it was going to be as I
hadn't had a cigarette for about 6 hours. He offered to have
someone take us to the smoking area (outside), I grabbed my
reservation back and then he got someone to escort us just
outside the terminal where I could smoke. With the construction
walls up I couldn't see out towards the road. I got real
suspicious with this and remembering your instructions I started
to walk out of the construction boundary and then I found your
rep. I went back to where my wife was with the person that had
escorted us out and told her what was up and told him to get
lost. I consider myself a fairly well seasoned Cabo
traveler, but still they almost got me! We're coming back
in April and will definitely use you again!" - Rodney from
Alamogordo, NM
"Excellent
service! Very professional staff &
transportation. We were more
than an hour late on arrival, and they were there. Also there to
transport us back to the airport 10 minutes ahead of schedule.
Cannot say enough about this service. Very much worth the money.
No need to be hassled at the airport...go with this service.
Other family members rented a car and regretted the expense!" -
Mike & Carla from Iowa Falls, Iowa
"I would like to
tell you how VERY satisfied I was with your
transfer services.
Your drivers were knowledgeable, kind and on time. We had two
different drivers both were excellent, however our Airport to
Hotel guy was fantastic. So funny he made the misery
of getting through the Cabo airport disappear with his humor and
conversation. I am a travel consultant and would highly
recommend your company for any transfers or tours for my
clients. Please pass these comments onto our drivers and feel
free to use this statement as a recommendation for your company
GREAT JOB! Thanks very much! - Dotti from Camarillo,
California
"Thank you so much
Magda! You have made this process so easy for me. Say thank you
as well to the wonderful lady who I spoke with when I made the
reservation. She was very patient with me. I will be sure to
recommend your company to everyone I know!" - Anita from Sun
City, Arizona
"I wanted to thank
you all for the great time I had in Cabo San Lucas. I used your
service during my full stay in Cabo. I used your
airport
transportation service, as well as your
parasailing,
snorkeling
and horseback riding tours. I had a wonderful time. The
service was outstanding. Each tour was much more than I
expected. The prices were wonderful too! I won't fail to
recommend your company to all my friends and family visiting the
area. You all made my vacation a memory to treasure!" -
Tee from Memphis, Tennessee
"I was
pleasantly surprised by the service and professionalism
exhibited by your airport transfer provider. I went to Cabo
alone, with plans to meet up with a group of friends. I expected
that they would have already left the airport by the time I got
there, so I made reservations with you for my airport transfers.
When I arrived, however, my group was still at the airport
waiting for me, so I did not use my reserved spot but split an
airport shuttle with my friends. This was my first mistake. The
shuttle offered at the airport was in a beat-up old van with
very limited AC power and a driver that would not leave the
airport until we filled up the van. Basically, we had to wait
for one additional passenger before we could leave. After
spending an hour standing in line for Customs, I was none too
happy about this. However, no one informed the passengers that
the Taxi Union has a strong hold on this city and that if you do
not buy a round-trip ticket at the airport for transportation,
you will be required to call a cab for your return trip ($32 USD
from the Westin). When I realized this on the day prior to my
departure, I called you and asked you if you would honor my
receipt even though I had not secured a voucher upon transport
from the airport. Your representative was very kind and said
that because I had purchased a round-trip ticket all I needed to
do was present my receipt to the driver and I would be taken
back to the airport. I was told the driver would pick me up at
9:25 a.m. and that the phone agent would send an email to
confirm with the dispatcher. I was leery, so I called back the
next morning (the day of my departure) and was told by a new
phone agent that the original agent I spoke with had sent an
email and it had been confirmed. The driver showed up in a
beautiful Suburban at 9:30 a.m. The seats were plush, the AC
worked, the driver was polite and professional, and the company
I shared on the transport were very nice. And, as more proof
that Cabo San Lucas Tours is the way to go, the people in the
Suburban with me were dual citizens of Mexico and the US, and
they said they never use any other transport. Thank you CSL
Tours! - Cara from US
"Just a quick
note to let you know this was me and my husbands first time to
Cabo. We were not sure of what activities we wanted to do and
then we saw your brochure for the 4x4
safari tour. Our guides name was Chica and the driver was
Miguel. What a FANTASTIC time we had. Chica was awesome. He
translated the whole tour in English and then in Spanish. It
was very interactive, informative and most of all fun. We met
some great people on the tour and had the time of our life.
Thanks Chica and Miguel for a different kind of tour. We have
never experienced a tour like this before. When we come back
next year we will look you guys up!" - Allan and Linda from
Loma Rica, CA
"We had such a
great time on your atv tour
through the rural parts of Cabo. We especially loved taking a
lunch break at the beach. It was so serene and the lunch was
delicious! We would definitely do it again on our next visit!"
- Kathlyn from Corona, CA
"Hi Team, I wanted
to write to tell you what a fantastic time we had going sailing
on your Hunter 28' on
Friday. Gus and Rachel were really nice to us! We were
treated like family and really enjoyed the sail! Thank you for
making our time in Cabo one to remember! By the way - the
food and the service were unexpected and fabulous! I would
recommend this venue to anyone - especially if you love to sail
and want to see Cabo from a different perspective!" - Craig from
Tucson, Arizona
"Thank you so much
for the incredibly easy excursion events that we have signed up
for. We have had this time share for years but never realized
the fun we could have had. Looking forward to all our fun times
thanks to your website!" - Tish from Rancho Santa Fe,
California
"My family and I
just returned from Cabo San Lucas and used your airport transfer
service. Great job, wonderful driver and a fun way to start our
yearly trek to Cabo. Look forward to using you guys again!
Thanks!" - Wayne from Dallas, Texas
"We recently
returned from our Cabo trip and would like to thank you for your
help with airport transports and the tours. First off, I
should have read your note more closely about arriving at the
airport and being mobbed by "fake transport" people. They
looked official, took our luggage and wanted to "confirm" our
transportation to the hotel. After arguing for 15 minutes, we
finally exited the airport to find your
ground transportation
personnel in navy pants. I am so glad you gave us specific
clothing descriptions, if only we had exited the airport sooner,
we wouldn't have had to argue so long! The
Xtreme Canopy Tour was
excellent. The entire team was all about fun, safety, enjoyment
and new experiences. My husband and daughter (22) had a great
time as did I, although my fear level was greater than I
expected. But I soon got over that and loved the views, the
experience and the rappelling. Casey at Baja Wild was great
too. We had a good time kayaking to
Lover's Beach, Land's end and the Arch. Thanks again for
providing great directions, service and support!" -
Judy from Grand Rapids, Michigan
"My Wife and I
just returned from our Cruise to Cabo. We did the
Candelaria ATV tour and we had a
fantastic time. Our guide was Thomas he was great and showed us
a good time. Everyone that we encountered on this tour was
really good to us. We had a lot of fun and would recommend this
tour to anyone!" - John from Altoona, Pennsylvania
"We used your airport
transportation 1/25 and again 2/28 to/from our Cabo del Sol
home. Great service! We are recommending you to friends who are
coming to Cabo 3/15 and other friends early April! We'll be back
soon too and will definitely contact you again for a ride.
Thanks for providing a great service. Very much appreciated.
Thanks!!" - Joyce from Greensboro, Georgia
"We just
wanted to let you know we had an amazing time doing the
Wild Canyon zip tour! Our
guides were fantastic, the zipline was incredible and the beer
at the bar afterward was nice and cold. THE BEST excursion we've
ever done! Thanks!" - Dana and Jeff from Gainesville, Florida
"I just had the most pleasant experience with one of your
employees named Wanda. I couldn't get my reservation to go
through online, so I called the toll-free number and reached
Wanda. She offered to make the reservation for me, which she
did. I have a cousin who owns a timeshare at the Pueblo Bonito
Rose, and they come down every year. I'm definitely going to
recommend that they use your company. Please thank Wanda for
her help, and I commend your company for having such a
thoughtful and helpful person. A lot of companies don't realize
the importance of "service with a smile." I'm glad to see that
you are not one of those companies. Thank you, again!" -
Page from Durham, North Carolina
"We took
the 4x4 Desert Safari tour while we were in Los Cabo 2 weeks ago
and it was great! Hannibal, our guide, was
enthusiastic, interesting, entertaining and made the whole
experience something special. The desert experience was
fascinating and the tequila tasting was really fun but the meal
outstanding. Keep up the good work and say hola to Hannibal!" -
Mike from California
"Hi Cabo San Lucas Tours! We
arrived at Cabo and our driver
was very pleasant and we were impressed by his service,
cleanliness of the van and we loved the water bottles. Thank
you. we just wanted to let you know how it went!" - Teresa
from Stillwater, MN
"My girlfriend and I stayed a week in Cabo at a local hotel. I
signed us up for the Xtreme
Canopy Tour on-line and really had no idea what it was going
to be like. I'm very afraid of heights - but we wanted to try
something new. The transportation for this tour arrived at our
hotel to pick us up right on time. O.M.G. This was one of
the highlights of our ENTIRE TRIP! I didn't think that I had
signed us up for the repelling - but I guess I had and it truly
turned out to be an incredibly wonderful experience. The
crew that works there are knowledgeable, friendly, helpful -
they COMPLETELY take care of you. I cannot stress how easy and
comfortable they made everyone feel doing this excursion. If you
have never done zip-lining or repelling - even if you are
petrified of heights like myself - this is a wonderful
opportunity to try something new. These guys make the zip-lining
and repelling look so incredibly easy, they check and
double-check all your equipment and connection - they completely
set you at ease. Our Extreme Canopy Tour was definitely
one of THE most fun and memorable experiences of this trip.
Thank you all so very much for making this so enjoyable for us!"
- Michael & Barbie from Spokane, WA.
"Kudos to a
great tour company! We used Cabo San Lucas Tours at both
our Cabo and Ensenada cruise stops and in both cases, I can’t
say enough about your wonderful crew! In Ensenada we were an
hour late for the tour because of the time change (we didn’t
know of the time change until we were debarking). We took a
taxi to your location for the
Extreme Zip Line canopy tour and your staff was wonderful
about incorporating us into the next group and making sure we
got back to the ship on time. Diego and Will were fantastic
guides and a lot of fun. Everyone went overboard to make sure
make our experience memorable. In Ensenada we took your
ATV adventure up to
the mountains. Isreal was a great guide and went above and
beyond to make sure we had a great time. I’ve traveled all over
the world, and know how some tour companies work, but this is my
fourth time with your company. I keep coming back because
you’re safety is impeccable, your prices exceptional, and the
team you have working for you in each location is the best.
Each time we got back to the cruise ship, everyone wanted to
hear about our adventures. We were the envy of the table! My
daughter and her boyfriend are coming in January – I’ve made
sure they take Cabo San Lucas canopy and ATV adventure tours!
Thanks again for a great time!" - Linda from San Diego,
California
"First of all, I
would like to thank you for the follow up calls on the day our
tour was scheduled. Unfortunately, we missed our tour due to our
cruise line misleading us with our arrival time. Anyhow, my
sister as well as me booked with your company since you were a
featured segment in Giada's Weekend Getaways. I booked
the tandem parasailing for her family and they had a great time.
The boat was waiting for her, they even made room for my
sister-in-law to be a passenger at the very last minute. Wow, it
made me jealous but I'm glad it worked for her. So unfortunately
I did not get a chance to try your services but I do appreciate
the calls that were made when we were not at the pick up
location and your attempts to reach us. I hope that next
time I'm in Cabo and not via a Cruise line, I will look up your
company again!" - Rosaura from Anaheim, California
"I just returned
from Los Cabos in January and had booked a trip online with you
. It was a city tour of San Jose and
Los Cabos. The driver was awesome, we had a great time and I
just wanted to let you know that I really appreciated the
service. I am a travel agent and will not hesitate to use your
services as I found the staff was great! We were picked up at
the Riu Santa Fe promptly and kudos to the tour operator!
Thanks again!" - Wendy from Manitoba, Canada
"Just a quick note to let you know
how happy we were with our recent experience on one of your
tour. My wife and I were in Cabo last week on the Carnival
"Pride". Took the Santa Maria Cove excursion. Had a great time
mostly because of your wonderful Staff, Very entertaining and
friendly and courteous, especially Mr. Chavez. We'll be back as
soon as possible and will tell all of our friends. Hope to See
you soon. Thank You again!"
- Wayne & Toni from Paso Robles, California
"Just got back
from Cabo and we had a great time. Your services were
great!! We really felt special with the van already waiting
exclusively for us 6 girls, because it was a bit intimidating with
the those timeshare guys trying to make us sign for the tours and
presentations...but, we didn't waste any time with them, like I
read in your instructions... just go outside. Your
instructions were very helpful.... Again, Thanks!" - Nancy from Southgate,
California
"You guys are GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the quick, helpful and efficient service. My
thanks especially to Tasha, who went above and beyond the call
of duty to get this all together for us on short notice!" -
Mike from Miller Place, New York
"Just wanted to
let you know of our positive experience with our
local
snorkeling
adventure trip that we had booked through your company last
week... It was easy finding the diving shop at the Hotel
Tesoro. Carlos and his helpers were very friendly and helpful
in getting us fitted, accommodating our requests and helping us
to get some lunch boxes. We had a nice time snorkeling and saw
much marine life. After spending some time on lover's beach,
the boat picked us up and gave us a tour of the surrounding
area. We were also able to rinse off using their fresh water
shower at the back of their store which helped us feel less
sticky as we shopped the remainder of the afternoon." - Keith
from San Ramon, California
"I just wanted
to say thank you for all you all did for my son and I on our
trip to Cabo San Lucas. The dive trips were great and the people
that we dealt with were very nice and very professional. We will
definitely book any of our future trips with you. The in-town
people were just great as were the folks out at
Cabo Pulmo.
Anyway thank you again." - Bill from USA.
"I just wanted to thank you for the
wonderful time that we had when we went on our Mexican Riviera
cruise. The ship offerings were expensive and not that
appropriate for my husband and me with our handicaps. I talked
with Maricela, and she was so helpful in finding us tours that
would work with our port schedules. Your Dive Shop in Cabo
San Lucas provided us with a great
snorkeling tour, and we got
an unexpected ride to see a sea lion colony. In Mazatlan, we
loved our tour guide and saw lots of the city. The only
complaint I would have is that we stopped at an old restored
home that was a gift shop. I wanted to buy a coin purse, and
when I gave the lady a $20 bill, she gave me pesos for change. I
didn't want Mexican money, as I was getting right back on the
ship and had found that almost everyone else took American
money. I felt that anyone who is a regular stop for tour buses
should keep some American money on hand. Just a small glitch in
an otherwise wonderful day. The absolute best was the last
- our Pegaso Chartering whale watching tour. The sailboat was
lovely and the guides were fast at spotting whales. They kept us
in drinks all day, and they served a yummy lunch. We plan to
take the same cruise in 2009 and hope we can go with Pegaso
again. Again, thank you for all your help in making our
vacation the best ever!" - Leslie from the U.S.A.
"Hi CSL Tours! We wish to thank
you for your excellent service in both running a fine tour for
my children (Jetski/snorkel) and for handling our cancellation
(Deluxe shopping and city tour). We had to cancel due to the
fact the tour ended AFTER our cruise departed!! Our credit card
was promptly credited, pleasantly on your part! My kids had a
blast on the Jetski tour. The people were a pleasure to deal
with and the kids felt safe and had fun. Thanks again! WE will
certainly recommend you to our friends who are headed your way!"
- Gary and Marilyn from Morton Grove, Illinois
"I just wanted to let you know that
our tour was WONDERFUL!!! Thank you so much for accommodating us when we had to change our tour time.
Our Tour Guide Umberto was OUTSTANDING! He was extremely
courteous and gave us an excellent and very fun tour. He also
made it a priority to get us back to our ship on time by using
his own car to shuttle us back to the port. We were very
impressed with the service and caring shown to us by Umberto.
I will most definitely recommend booking tours thru Cabo San
Lucas Tours. Thank you for helping us make the most of
our short time in Cabo. We loved it there and can't wait to go
back someday soon. Much thanks!" - Angela and Sergio
from San Diego, California
"Hola! We had such a great time
on our tour. We had two vans and we had the two Davids for
our drivers. They we great and so helpful. We will
recommend them to all our friends. Thanks again!" - Linda
from Canyon Lake, California
"Hi, my
name is Christina and I booked a
whale watching tour through
you. We just got back from our cruise, and the whale
watching tour was excellent! The ride was exciting and
seeing the whales was awesome. I just wanted to thank you
and hope to do your tour again. Thanks!" -
Christina from U.S.A.
"I just
wanted to get back to you and say that the trip was great,
and I wanted to let you know that the snorkeling was
especially nice; Rodrigo is a great captain & tour guide -
we even got to do some free whale watching on the way back
to the marina. Please let others know that this is a great
operation. I went scuba diving with Manta (3 days),
since I didn't know about you at the time, but I will check
that out next time!" - Terry from San Francisco,
California
"My
husband and I really enjoyed our trip from Cabo San Lucas to
Magdalena Bay.
Luis Aguilar and Elias Bautista were excellent. They made
our trip great. We enjoyed them very much. We found their
driving to be very safe and their friendliness and
professional attitude to really enhanced the whole
experience. We will definitely tell all of our friends
about this tour. Both of these men should be very much
appreciated and compensated accordingly for the fine tour
they provided!" - Ed from Centennial, Colorado
"You're services were great.
Our tours were as promised and on time...and the refund was
actually paid without a hassle (other companies should be
learning from you). In return, Cabo San Lucas Tours will be
the place I will recommend to anyone going to Cabo. This is
what good customer service is all about. Thanks again!" -

"Our first stop
was Cabo. Before we left, I'd booked a private 3-hour tour through
Johann & Sandra's tours. Our guide met us at the dock with a card
with our name on it. He asked a few general questions about what
we wanted to do, and then tailored a wonderful trip around our
interests. We spent most of the time in San Jose de los Cabos. It
was beautiful! We stopped at the glass factory on the way, and our
group of 6 had fun watching the factory owner make an eagle. For
lunch, we asked our guide to recommend a restaurant with authentic
Mexican food, and he took us to a little restaurant with the most
fantastic food--my husband spent the rest of the cruise trying to
figure out the recipe for a chicken dish he had there. - Cruise Critic Forums
"I like to begin
by giving some tips on airport transfers and excursions. I did
some research prior to my trip and found a very reliable and
awesome agency where I booked most of my excursions and airport
transfers. You could go on their website which is called cabo san
lucas tours and look at all the things that they offer. I booked
my airport transfers with them and since I always wanted to go
scuba diving I decided that I wanted to get certified in Cabos
where the water is warm...so I booked my four days certification
with them and boy I tell you it was awesome. I highly recommend it
if you like snorkeling. Anyway, when we arrived at the airport we
got swamped by all kinds of people asking if we needed a taxi or
if we had our vouchers but I was warned by Cabo San Lucas Tours
to only look for the person holding the sign that said GREYLINE.
At first my husband was almost lured but I insisted that the
person waiting for us was outside the airport with a sign and I
was right....there he was with the sign and I could not have asked
for anyone nicer..he took care of us right away." - TripAdvisor

"I also pre-booked
the jungle tour with Cabo San Lucas Tours and they are
reasonable with discounts and have a discount card to give you for
purchase discounts in town. This means we do not have to pay or
carry cash just our voucher. I booked an
ATV tour, Jungle Cruise
and our ground transportation and a
glass bottom boat through
www.cabosanlucastours.net."

"We arrived in
Cabo San Lucas on July 8th, 2007 to beautiful weather, cooler than
at home. We had pre-booked a shuttle through Cabo San Lucas
Tours, with Grayline and they were waiting diligently as our
plane had been delayed about an hour. We were off with one other
couple and one stop before we arrived at Playa Grande...My son was
scheduled for a 9 am ATV ride with Salto Tours and he had missed
his ride as he was 15 min. late getting to the lobby but the
concierge helped him to reschedule the trips we had pre-booked
with Cabo San Lucas Tours and he went later that day. He
said that the ride was "Frickin' Awesome" They took the
Migrino
Beach Tour with Salto and there was only a couple other guys so he
felt that they got a special ride and rode through a town where
there was a 118 year old resident and he had a great time on his
tour!" - TripAdvisor Forums
"I booked a
shuttle to and from the airport the day before I left through Cabo San Lucas Tours
- easy(you can google it), at a good
price- about $28 per person to and FROM the airport. Very safe. I
read that the taxis were pricey." - TripAdvisor Reviews
"We also plan a
paid tour to snorkel at Cabo Pulmo (through Cabo San Lucas
Tours) as it's 2 hours away from the hotel area - down a road
that is not advised with a rental car (although people do actually
do it). We rather sit back and enjoy the ride and have someone
drive the 2 hours it takes to go and the other 2 hours to come
back. It’s a 9-hour tour so it’s a full day of adventure and well
worth the money...Yes it is Cabo San Lucas Tours: 9 Hours /
7AM-4PM / $76.50 and the ride from Cabo San Lucas hotels is 2
hours each way. Sounds like a great deal for a full day of fun
without the hassle of driving." - TripAdvisor Forums
"I highly
reccommend ocean riders. We booked them through www.cabosanlucastours.net. We did a
whale watching excursion
in a zodiac. The boat is a blast, sit towards the front if you go.
We did not see whales, but lots of dolphins, including a pod of
100-200 with three to four different types feeding on tuna. The
tuna were feeding on flying fish, it was the coolest thing we have
ever seen. I felt like we were in a National Geographic movie. The
boat ride alone is worth the excursion!"
- TripAdvisor Forums
"We were there mid
december and used ocean riders. They have a zodiac that they take
you out on and although we missed the whales that day the boat
ride was a blast and we got into several pods of dolphins. The
last pod we found were feeding on Tuna. The flying fish were
jumping out of the water and the tuna eating them. The tuna were
jumping and the dolphins were eating them. We were surrounded by
at least 100-200 dolphins and several varieties. Some in our group
were lucky enough to reach over the side and touch dolphins. There
were some spinner dolphins that put on quite a show. It was
absolutely amazing and Victor our Captain did a great job. They
felt badly about not seeing whales and he had a real good track
record. We all agreed that we had a once in a lifetime experience
with the dolphins. I highly reccommend ocean riders. I have been
meaning to write a review. I am easily prone to motion sickness
and didn't feel ill at all. The boat moves fast and it is just fun
to be on the boat jumping waves. We booked through www.cabosanlucastours.net. Bring your cameras and video
cameras as well. When you are out cruising they put all the
cameras in a bag to prevent them from getting wet and then pull
them out when you slow down to see the dolphins, whales. This was
one of our most favorite excursions on our last cruise" - Cruise Critic Forums
"Take a look at
this link :
http://www.cabosanlucastours.net/Zodiac-Snorkeling-Tour.htm.
We are booked with them for May and they've been great to answer
any questions that I had. They have a no port, no pay policy which
is nice since Cabo is a tender port and can be impacted by rough
seas. They were recommended by a friend at work who had used them
previously." - Cruise Critic Forums
"We just
returned from the Carnival Elation and wanted to provide a
review for the Cabo San Lucas ATV tour
http://www.cabosanlucastours.net/ATV-Tours.htm. We booked
the Candelaria ATV ride ($63 pp) online about 2 weeks prior to
our arrival. This turned out to be the best ATV ride we have
ever been on and one of the best tours also. The booking was
made online and an email reply within 24 hours that included a
ticket page to print and an exact location to meet the tour
driver. We were met on the pier as noted and were 15 min early.
The time noted in the email was 9:30 local time, ship time was
8:30 so don't mess around and be one of the first off the ship.
This will ensure you get the full 5 hours. We were then escorted
to a van where they drove us (2) to the ATV place. We arrive
right behind a ship group of 10-15 persons. The ship ride was
$101 onboard the ship was for the Megrino beach ride that was
$49.50 direct from the outfitter. After signing a waiver
we were offered a $15 pp ATV insurance against damage to the ATV
which we declined. If no insurance is taken out then a credit
card imprint must be left for possible damage to the ATV. As we
were both good ATV riders we did not think it would be
necessary. After the first long, narrow and steep down hill
trail we were reconsidering the insurance decision. There was
also a $3 pp fee on our ride to access a private ranch. It was
worth the fee as this was the best part of the ride. After
donning helmet, goggles and bandanna for dust, off we go in the
opposite direction of the Carnival group. We were up and
down narrow mountain trails, just the 2 of us plus the guide. We
came to a wide sandy river bottom and it was a wide open ride
for 5 miles or so till we came to the trail back up the mountain
to the village of Candelaria, we stop for photos along the way
at a 100 year old church then at the local school. Along the way
we passed free range goats, pigs, cows and one donkey. We went
back along the same trail to the river bed again, wide open
again where we head past where we came down and ended up on
Megrino Beach. The Carnival group is long gone. We stop for a
boxed lunch (provided) under a homemade cabana on top of one of
the sand dunes. Another family of 4 were on the beach on
ATV's. They had a son (12) and daughter (14) who were each on
their own ATV's. They had booked the Megrino Beach tour from the
pier and would be joining up with us for the ride back to the
ATV place and van ride back to town. We had the driver drop us
off at the shopping district with plenty of time for some
shopping and catch the tender back to the Elation. In summary it
was the best ATV tour we have ever been on and one of the top 5
tours we had been on. After the booking fee, ranch access fee
and a nice tip we still were under the ship price of $101!" -

"We did the
Ocean Riders Zodiac Whale Watching through Cabo San Lucas
Tours on January 17. It was AWESOME!! The zodiacs are
equipped with a kind of tubular, cushioned seat with bars at the
front and back for support. It kind of feels like riding a
horse, especially when you're flying over the waves propelled by
the two big motors and it's like galloping without as much
rolling. There are a few bumps when you sail over big waves, but
aside from that, it's just plain amazing, fast, and gorgeous.
We left the marina and headed past Lover's Beach. We saw sea
lions, the arch, pirate's cave, and the Scooby head rock before
heading out into more open water to look for whales. Once there,
they opened up the motors and we flew across the water. I was
enjoying it so much I didn't even care if we saw whales.
Fortunately, though, we did! As our guide pointed out to us,
though, the whales don't work for them, so they go to where they
think they might find some and then just hope that they'll come
and say 'hi'. We saw three on our outing, and they were so
close, we actually felt the spray when they blew out their blow
holes. It was amazing. I would LOVE to do it again!!" - CruiseCritic Forums
"Just back
off Sapphire Princess, we booked www.cabosanlucastours.net
AKA tours by Johann and Sandra for whale watching on the
catamaran La Princesa.
It was fantastic!!! Great service/food and open bar, plus we
saw 43 whale sightings. We saved a ton of money by booking
through Johann and Sandra, and I highly recommend the
company!" - CruiseCritic Forums Member "Crazy4Cruising"
