      Best part of my trip!
      Highlight of my 48 hours in Cabo! Crew was incredible. Views were breathtaking. We had National Geographic level whale sightings. I cried! It was truly beautiful. Thanks for a memorable trip.

      Best part of our trip!
      We only booked this trip so we could see the famous arch and it turned out to be the best part of our trip. Seriously! DONT GO if you dont like loud, fun music, a staff that is attentive to your every need or if you dont want to have fun. This exceeded our expectations in every way. We saw countless whales, had endless drinks and snacks and a fabulous time. Imagine watching whales while drinking a Pacifico and dancing to “Don’t Stop Believing” or “Dancing Queen” as you dance on a catamaran with 40 strangers turned friends? Book this trip. Now. So much fun and worth every penny! Thank you!

      Terrific cruise w drinks!!!
      We did the sunset cruise with unlimited drinks. The crew were friendly and professional, the drinks kept flowing through the entirety of the trip, and they played great music to set the mood. Our boat only had about 20 so it was very enjoyable!

      Great experience!
      We had a great time! The staff were very kind and courteous, and they took good care of us. The cruise was excellent - we saw wildlife such as pelicans and harbor seals and had great views of the arch and beaches and shoreline. And the drinks kept flowing! We will book with them again if we come back to Cabo!

      Sunset cruise worth it but being ear plugs
      The crew was very pleasant. Views were outstanding, we had a small group which was great so everyone got amazing photos of the arch. Downside, the music was a bit over-the-top with Gangster Rap, this was a sunset cruise not a club party. Maybe play more variety. (No offensive language) then maybe ratings would be better.

      Amazing Sunset Adventure
      My husband and I brought a group of friends to celebrate our wedding and had an absolutely great time on the sunset cruise. The boat was not over crowded and had plenty of space for everyone. It was a smooth ride to the arches. They provide bottled beer, mixed drinks, shots, chips, salsa, and guacamole. The staff was very hospitable and made sure everyone was taken care of. The sunset was amazing. I highly recommend booking.

      Great experience
      Booked this for my friend’s 30th birthday and it was perfect. Unlimited drinks and light snacks. They had great music and staff were attentive. They made sure we had a photo opportunity near the arch and had a photographer on the boat for professional photos with an extra charge (only $30)

      Sunset tour
      The staff was amazing, it was an open bar and they made sure we got all we needed. The cost of the trip was reasonable. Not sure about the snacks because I didnt try them, they were guacamole and chips. The sunset was espectacular. Great music and great time!

      First timer
      It was my very first time on a boat and out of the country as well. Wonderful experience!! I met some amazing people and really enjoyed drinking with them. The water was choppy but the ride was smooth. I really appreciated most of the music and the way they timed every move. Will do it again when back in Cabo!!

    We chose La Princesa because a few people in the party are prone to seasickness and we figured that the shorter tour on a nice wide catamaran would be the best bet. It was! Smooth ride. Lots of whales. Lots of photo ops. You’ll still want to take Dramamine if you are prone to motion sickness, but it was manageable. The staff was friendly. There were some snacks and drinks provided. The dock location is walking distance to lots of fun shopping if you want to make a day of it.

    My husband and I had an amazing morning with Arturo and his first mate. We took the 9 a.m. tour and felt like it was such a deal. Other people take the huge boats out but they were no where to be seen as we found a mama whale and her baby. The captain was very respectful of the duo. we kept our distance (I used zoom for the photography).
    We will absolutely choose to use this boat again & again as we snowbird in Cabo.

    Excellent tour, tremendous service and fun. The crew truly takes care of you with no detailed spared. I went with my elderly parents, one who neeeds heavy assistance, and an infant. The crew did not skip a beat in helping us throughout. The whale watching tour will be memorable for years.

    It was truly unforgettable. The crew's friendliness added a special touch to the experience. The atmosphere on the boat was relaxed, allowing us to fully enjoy the beauty of the whales without any distractions. We felt privileged compared to the crowded boats. Highly recommend this trip!

    The whales, we were very close to the whales. I had a great time. It was a great experience for my first time doing this. Totally recommend this trip. The crew was accommodating, attentive and excited to be out there too. Go see them and enjoy the beauty offered.

    Went with a group of 7 of us friends total. It was our first time whale watching and we all had an amazing time. The crew was very attentive and made sure we were okay at all times. The catamaran is pretty decent in size. Not too many people on it like some of the other boats in the water. We got to see several whales and were definitely satisfied with this excursion. They stopped at the arc at the beginning of the ride and we also got to see some sea lions.

    Options in Cabo range from Zodiacs to LARGE catamarans. La Princesa runs a roughly 40-45' cat. The crew was great, from the skipper Manuel to Pedro and the other two. They provide juice, soda and water as well as croissants, and Mexican sweet breads for those who opt for the 9am go.

    We stopped (with everyone else) for the required pictures of the Arch. Then we headed around the corner toward the open water of the Pacific. This was late December and the humpbacks are in the middle of arriving from the Gulf of Alaska. There were plenty of whales. We trailed two that spent a fair amount of time on the surface. A number of opportunities for fluke shots. As we turned back to port, one of them breached behind us.

    A very pleasant morning, one that we would do again. The benefit of being on the cat was readily apparent when we were in the vicinity of the whales. The cat has bow and stern propulsion which makes turning quickly possible and put us in much better positions to view the whales than those who were out in the multitudinous Zodiacs...and that's before we discuss how much better the ride was on the cat! Would highly recommend these guys for viewing whales, and if you are in the area during the late winter months you should definitely put this on the agenda.

    I would highly recommend this excursion. The boat is large and comfortable. The crew is very kind and friendly. Enjoyed drinks and excellent homemade salsa and chips. Saw some whales, briefly, but none breached. Regardless, it was a good time.
