About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Tour319521107570 contributionsTotally worth it!!All of the staff worked together to make this a great experience. They helped us onto the boats and knew exactly what they were doing when we were flying. I felt safe and all the equipment was up to date. One of the passengers got sick and the guide made sure to get him water and even helped him to get his head wet since he felt hot. My only suggestion is that if you are prone to motion sickness make sure to take it before you board. The flight itself is easy and peaceful but you are on a boat so plan accordingly.Written 30 September 2024
- carolinehB975MJ0 contributionsStole our Yeti & Very RudeThe staff who we checked in with were not welcoming or friendly. The cherry on top was that we left our Yeti cup on the boat and when the boat comes back it was no longer there. We asked the boat worker where our Yeti was as the others who stayed on the boat informed the boat worker that we forgot it and to make sure we got it back. We came back on the boat after being dropped off at Lovers beach and our yeti was NOT there. The boat driver claimed to not have known about it (although that wasn’t true). The driver refused to stand up the rest of the boat ride back as our cup was right underneath him in the cabinet of the boat. Would not recommend this company.Written 10 September 2024
- angelavV9757QD0 contributionsGreat people!They fit my son and I in on short notice and were so friendly and helpful. All of the staff were wonderful. My son and I did a tandem parasail and it was a blast!Written 25 May 2024
- herbeehusker0 contributionsNo Boat at Aries Water SportsGot tickets for tour from hotel Tesoro. Got to their (Aries) office early. They told us to sit down and wait. Watched numerous boats load and leave. They said they would call us. 30 minutes after departure time there was no boat in sight, so we left. Too many other companies at Cabo to deal with a bad one.Written 1 April 2024
- adonis19560 contributionsAwesome Flight & WhalesExcellent day in the air. From calling to make reservations, we were really well taken care of. We got to the pickup point a little early, but the water taxi to the boat was ready to take us to the parasailing launch boat. The 2 young men on the boat were fun and friendly. (wish I could remember their names) Great time in the air for all 3 of us. Once back on the boat, we got a bonus of whales out playing and jumping. They put on a show, and our crew was accomodating in letting us enjoy the show. I highly recommend Arie's Wish I could post pics, all I have is videos of my flight and whales.Written 14 March 2024
- andreabP1353WI0 contributionsA flight to rememberAmazing experience!! It seems scary but it feels like you are floating. The team at Aries was knowledgeable, and fun. They made us feel safe and took awesome views of us taking off, landing and on the sky. Definitely recommend!Written 7 October 2023
- KarenK19220 contributionsFun in the skyvery relaxing! no need to get wet they set you off on the boat and bring you back down on the boat. Guys were super friendlyWritten 18 July 2023
- kevinhZ5500ZT0 contributionsTerrible serviceBooked a 4:00 tour with 12 family members, including 2 young children. We were asked to be 15 minutes early, and ended up waiting an hour on a boat to arrive. The attendant continued to say the boat would arrive in 5 minutes. Was a very hot day to stand in the sun and wait longer than the actual tour lasted. We should have read some of the other reviews prior to booking.Written 14 July 2023
- Elktrail0 contributionsUse CautionUnbelievable how they treat people. You can tell it is just about money. Care more about their equipment than the people they are suppose to serve by far. My wife and I nearly drowned when we fell off their jet ski. No one around to help you. If it wasn’t for nice young American spring breaker we would have drowned for sure. Then one Aries employee shows up and picks up my wife and helps my wife and then molests her on way to shore. Leaves me on other jet ski and when I arrive at shore pushes me off jet ski too soon and I then fall to bottom of ocean head first almost breaking my neck. Now I must suffer in a neck brace till I get home. Beware and beware some more. They do not have your best interest in mind. A Mexican hour of parasailing is about 10 minutes. No more. A Mexican Aries hour of jet ski is no longer than 30 minutes.Written 15 March 2023
- Bookatrip990 contributionsGreat experience!They were the only group offering parasailing during our trip to Cabo and they were great! Marcos was our concierge who gave us a great deal and everything went smoothly. Great experience!Written 28 February 2023

- 254kamranf0 contributionsWOULD NOT RECOMMEND, POOR COMMUNICATION AND SERVICE.There are many other companies to use, pick any one and you will be better off. Read the other reviews, I wish I had before scheduling. We scheduled 2 activities through Aries, 2 jet ski's for an hour each and parasailing for our 12 and 15 year old children. The 1st jet ski we were given was very slow and wasn't running properly, they changed it without complaint, the other ran fine. By the time we finished with the jet ski the weather did not permit parasailing, so we rescheduled for a 10:30 appointment, a day later. We arrived on time and waited a hour before being escorted to a water taxi where we were told a parent could not ride along without paying an additional 25.00 fee. We did not have cash on us as we had prepaid for these activities the day prior and were not told of any additional fees; they would not accept a credit card then, or payment when we returned from the excursion and were rude (how would we know there was a fee, if they never told us). It is their responsibility to explain any potential expenses before the last minute and they should know that a parent expects to be with their children on a boat in the ocean with strangers. They wasted an hour of our vacation time, cancelled our parasail activity, disappointed customers and earned this 1 star review with very poor communication, and very poor customer service.Written 1 August 2022
- LisaWaters0 contributionsBeware of Brandon on the beachI purchased a parasailing experience on the beach in front of Villa Del Palmar from ‘Brandon’ who represented himself as someone who worked for Aires Water Sports. I left a deposit with him (I should have known better), and when I showed up to my 9am trip on New Years Day, I waited 2-hours on the beach for Brandon who never showed up. His co-workers we’re trying to help me, but when I started to complain about the wait, they suddenly couldn’t speak English. When we returned to the beach, the water taxi that took us to the parasailing boat wanted 200 additional pesos for a “service fee.” I just walked away and told them to talk to Brandon. I would not recommend this company at all.Written 3 January 2022
- 142bres0 contributionsWould Not RecommendI was so excited to do this activity during my trip to Cabo, it was literally the one thing I looked forward to the most!! However, it ended up being a huge disappointment. I made a reservation and paid but they did not have me scheduled so I had contact them to reschedule for the next day. The next day my reservation was cancelled due to weather, which was understandable, so I again had to reschedule. On my last day of vacation I finally was able to go parasailing! After all the hassle I went through, I was ready for a great experience! But what I got instead was a huge let down. They advertise that they take photos which is one of the reasons I chose this company because I was a solo traveler and wanted to capture this moment, but they did not do that. I wasn’t given any instruction on what I needed to do or what to expect. In fact, the only thing they said to me the entire time was “stand up” when they were putting the harness on me. That’s literally it. Very cold and a bit rude so it kinda made the entire experience a bummer.Written 25 July 2021

Rented from Aries while on beach and it was a disaster. First we agreed to a price, then they tried to charge more when we arrived on location. Secondly, one of our participants ran out of fuel and was swept a few miles out due to current and was rescued by a fishing boat. Lastly, they refused to give back our credit card and tried to intimidate us by brining in "muscle" but we have division 1 wrestlers with us so there was no intimidation happening. We ending up leaving our CC with them and just canceled and disputed any additional charges as we paid cash. Dont rent from these hacks on the beach, go through your hotel. Chalk this one up to experience.

Do NOT rent jet skis from this company! It's not safe! They don't do properly maintenance of their jet skis. The seat flew off while our son was on the jet ski. They didn't care about the safety of our son, and ended up charging us $400 to replace the seat! Torunn H

We booked the jet skis online so didn’t have to deal with any haggling. Fidel was lovely and very accommodating as I had my elderly parents with us celebrating their 50th anniversary. The photos they took for us with the drone were great ( though a pricey extra expense)! Would double check jet skis for damage before going out.

We were asked to arrive 30 minutes early, and we did, but they didn't even start on our paperwork until at least 20 minutes after our start time, and it was even later by the time we were able to ride the jet skis. We had arranged for a water taxi to pick us up, based on when we were supposed to finish, so we had to call and change that appointment. We also had a shuttle to catch back to our hotel and were pushing our timing. My jet ski ran low on gas, so I had to take it back 15 minutes early, only to be traded one that wouldn't go more than 5 miles per hour, so I ended up just giving up about 10 minutes before our finish time. Very frustrating. The jet skis were fun while they lasted, but the lack of professionalism was disappointing, and I don't plan to use them again.

We had an amazing experience! We booked online and they had our information when we walked up to the tent. Marco was very kind and helpful, and Dani made sure we were safe and knew the rules. We had the jet skis for an hour and loved every second! We saw several sea turtles and the guides were out there to help us!

I was not there, but my daughter and her 4 girlfriends relayed the details. These guys at Aries took complete advantage of these young women by not giving them any information prior to them taking out the Jet Skis, had them sign their waivers while on the Jet Skis on the water (absolutely no time to review or try to understand their policies and the fact that they offer insurance), and when these girls came in after their hour on the Jet Skies, were told they had damaged the equipment -- which they say is absolutely untrue and that nothing occurred to cause damage while on the water. The people at Aries told them they were going to charge them $1600 for the damage, then changed it to $600 after these women protested, and finally decided they could get away with charging $400. They did not allow them to take photos of any supposed damage and quickly took the equipment away, then rented it out to another party. DO NOT USE ARIES -- BUYER BEWARE!

I had a terrible experience with Aires Water Sports in Cabo, and I strongly urge everyone to avoid this place at all costs. They scammed us out of $500 with a completely bogus jetski damage claim.
After our ride, they accused us of damaging the jetski, which was a total lie. They then refused to return our credit card and license until we paid the $500. We went back later in the day and noticed that the same "damaged" jetski was being used by another customer without any repairs. Despite this obvious proof of their scam, they still refused to refund our money.
Aires Water Sports should not be allowed to operate. Their fraudulent practices and refusal to return our property were unacceptable. Save yourself the trouble and find a reputable company instead. This place is a total scam.

The staff at Aries water sports are scammers. Went Jet Skiing with may family and they tried to claim I damaged a jet ski (which I didn’t) they said in the beginning if the jet skis are damaged they would charge my card $300. After talking to the manager he said everything was fine. 30 mins later after my cousin finished his session the manger went to my cousin and said that I damaged the jet ski and that they can charge his credit $300 or pay 200 cash. I go over again to dispute the claim and the manger lies and said I admitted to damaging the jet ski. After going back and forth with them for 45 minutes we said ok charge our card, but they refused to charge it and was demanding cash, we spent another 30 minutes arguing and refused to give them cash, so they just gave up, and said ok we’ll let it slide this time.they didn’t charge the card because 1. I did not damage the jet ski. 2. If they charged my card the money would go to the company and not to them to pocket. Less than an hour later while I was swimming, I noticed them trying the same scam with another group, with the same exact jet ski they said I damaged (jet ski number 3). When I went on the reviews after the fact I saw a couple complaints about the same damage on the same jet ski the oldest dating back to 6 months ago. They are scammers do not give them any cash.

Unfortunately you gave your money to a promoter instead of working directly with Aries Water Sports' employees. When working directly with Aries Water Sports, we do not charge a deposit. You pay for your services as you receive them unless you have booked through Trip Advisor, which you pay in advance.

We were waiting for our parasaling time with Aries, and I decided to rent jet ski's. The gentleman in the tent asked me how much they were going to charge me further down the beach . I told him the price, and he called me a LIAR. ( turns out it was THERE company that told me the price) He said that I should go down and rent them.. Then they tried to say it's a language mis understanding . So I went to the competition ( INFINITY)They were more than happy to rent 3 jetskis... Then when we returned back to the tent , the gentleman still was complaining that I went to the competition. And just kept insulting me. I WAS a repeat customer. Please save money , and have good customer service. Use INFINITY

My apologies for this miscommunication and misunderstanding. There are Promoters on the beach that sell activities for all of the companies. They are not employees of Aries Water Sports. A Promoter's job is to do their best to get the business. The Promoter's prices may be different than Aries Water Sports' prices.
