Book a Chileno Bay snorkeling tour on our Private Catamarans

I took my best friend out on this beautiful catamaranfor her 40th Birthday.

We had 20 people on this gorgeous catamaran! We danced, listened to music, had the best food and then jumped in the water, as you do when you’re in Cabo! The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Amazing food and even better drinks!

I highly recommend the boat life if you want an unforgettable day.

If you’re looking for a unique dining experience complete with romance, good ambiance, amazing views of the arch, top notch service, and delicious food…look no further than Animalon by the Sea!

My wife and I are big fans of their Valle de Guadalupe location and immediately booked a flight to Cabo when we heard that it had a floating location. Couldn’t have asked for a better backdrop to celebrate our 8th year wedding anniversary.

Definitely a must dining experience in Cabo.

Had an amazing time on Pelican Cabo! The staff was amazing. Great drinks poured amazing food all throughout our ride. We even got to see whales swimming right next to our boat, it was unbelievable!

This was definitely my favorite part of our trip and I would definitely recommend Pelican Cabo to everyone who visits!

Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

We booked this trip to Cabo for Christmas Eve for a surprise for our boys, ages 11 & 13. We loved the idea of having our own boat, snorkeling and seeing the area from the water.

We hoped we’d get lucky and see a whale or two, boy were we wrong. As we were cruising around the bay our eagle eyed guides spotted a couple of whales and then a couple more, soon we were cruising around with whales popping up all around us.

The boys were thrilled, it was amazing. Javi and Lorena were excellent guides, very knowledgable about the whales, we learned a lot and had an amazing time. After an hour of whale watching we resumed our journey to the arch and Lovers beach. It’s was very busy around the arch but Javi is an excellent captain and was able to get us to a quiet spot on the beach where we anchored and all swam and snorkeled away from the crowds. La Isla provided a fun float mat and some tasty chips and salsa and plenty of water and sodas. The only disappointment was the snorkeling was a bit difficult for our young boys. The water was very choppy due to all the boats and the currents were strong so it was not ideal for snorkeling unless your a strong swimmer.

We had a wonderful few hours with Lorena and Javi and would highly recommend La Isla tours.

We had a group of 18 people on this trip and it was so nice to have our own boat for our group.

Deck hand / captain were all friendly and sailing around the bay was awesome!

Before we got to ‘lands end’ we were able to see some whales (mom and calf put on ‘a show’ for us! Lot of whale tails and fins in our pictures).

Boat was clean and the water mat, stand-up paddle board along with the times spent at the locations were great. Team was very friendly and happy. Had a wonderful time.

Book it … you wont regret it…so much better than being on a crowded booze cruise with over 60-80 people !!!

Thank you for making our trip to Cabo extra enjoyable.

The experience was all inclusive and let us have the flexibility in one trip to cover a bunch of things we were wanting to do. Crew was great and communication was impeccable. Customer service to accommodate us after unforeseen weather issues was stellar!

Thanks again!

I was so grateful that my friend and I decided last minute to do this dinner because it was such an incredible experience.

The service from start to finish was outstanding and the food was beyond delicious. They even accommodated a couple dietary restrictions that I had. Very impressed with what they are creating in that kitchen. And on a moving boat!

My friend and I decided against the wine pairing (personal choice) and enjoyed their beautiful cocktails instead. We lucked out and had a fairly calm evening at sea and even saw a few whales…I would recommend anyone to do this. Now I just have to go back to try the brunch!

Thank you to the entire Animalón crew for being the highlight of our trip.

If you’re looking for romance in Cabo, look no further than gorgeous Animalon By the Sea!

We have been looking forward to going here, being fans of Chef Javier Plascencia and his excellent restaurants at other locations particularly Animalon in Valle under the 200 year old oak tree.

However, Animalon By the Sea is a unique dining experience and stands on its own — floating on the beautiful Sea of Cortez, with a trip to El Arco, but the highlight is the fresh and wonderful food of its well curated tasting menu! Wont spoil the surprise with photos of the dishes…but each dish was definitely a delight! Service is top notch as expected, with extra thoughtfulness and warmth throughout.

Definitely a memorable experience for our wedding anniversary, highly recommended!

Something I like to do on vacations near the water is to always book a boat tour. This tour was one of the best boat tours I have been on from start to finish, and was the highlight of our Cabo vacation.

We booked the 4 hour snorkeling tour on the 29 foot custom catamaran (the blue and white one with a top deck for laying out and jumping off). Leo was an amazing host who shared his love for Cabo and Mexico with our group, was professional and friendly and kept our drinks filled. Mario is a great captain and got us up close to El Arco and Seal Rock for some beautiful pictures!

The crew provided us with a cooler of ice to keep our drinks cool, complimentary chips and salsa, and towels. There’s a Bluetooth speaker with a great sound system to keep the party going, a floating mat, snorkeling gear, rooftop jump off spot and plenty of space to relax or party! We will definitely book this trip again with Leo and Mario on our next Cabo adventure. Thank you both for making our trip fun and special!!!!

If you are in Cabo with a large group, this is a must-do experience. We had 17 people and the boat was perfect.

It was also cheaper than all of the other private and shared public boats (which are super crowded).

It came with two staff members who were incredibly responsive, friendly and easy going and our caption, Mario, was the most fun person of our entire trip. The boat has a cooler for your drinks, bluetooth and great speakers for your music and the guacamole they make is incredible. We got to stop and swim, see the arch, and even see some whales during sunset.

Highly recommend.

We have a great time with our group of 11. Boat was clean, comfortable and great crew.

We spotted sea turtles and rays as well as our planned trip to the rock formations, and private beach area for swimming, snorkeling and jumping off the top of the boat. The photographer captured some great shots of our whole day.

Highly recommend this boat and crew!

We’ve travelled all over the world, and this has to be one of the most exceptional and memorable culinary experiences we’ve ever had!

From the ambience, to live saxophone player, the impeccable “interior” design of the boat and the absolutely delicious food we were blown away by every single detail. Our bellies left beyond full and happy.

The care and attention to detail by the team hosting this experience is top level and we can’t recommend booking. We’re looking forward to coming back next year!

Pro tip: Do wear a longer dress or pants and bring a jacket because it does get cool in the evening!

The boat we originally scheduled was smaller than expected. However, with the BEST customer service from the team they moved our Wedding to a larger boat. They are SO nice, accommodating, incredible customer service, and what a honor and pleasure to work with them.

Thank you for making our special Wedding day on your boat so FANTASTIC.. From the bottom of our hearts Thank You very much for everything. You are truly the best.

Unbelievable time. We had a party of 13. With a mix of adults and kids 6 and under. Everyone has a blast. The crew was super professional.

And the photographer who came a long for the ride did an awesome job of capturing the event.

Will def look to use this service next time we are in Cabo.

YOU HAVE TO DO THIS! Absolutely AMAZING!

We only had about 6 hours to spend in Cabo while our cruise was in port. We wanted to see the arches, we wanted to snorkel, we wanted to cliff jump, we wanted to paddleboard and we wanted to lounge while eating/drinking. This checked off EVERY box!

The morning started by driving out to take pictures at the arches. We plugged in our music and enjoyed the beautiful views as we got out to the end of the cliffs. After taking some great pictures, we headed over to anchor up to swim and snorkel.

We spent the next 2.5 hours swimming with brightly colored fish and sea lions, diving/flipping off the upper deck platform, paddle boarding along the beach, dancing and eating the delicious chips and salsa. Seriously everything we wanted out of the day. It blew away our expectations.

Everything was ready before we arrived at the dock and the crew were very professional. Right from the start we knew we were in good hands.

Ceci was a fabulous host. She explained everything and made sure we had everything we wanted. She was fun, friendly and really made us feel at home while on board.

Jonathan definitely knew his stuff as captain. It was obvious he was going to keep us safe and also put us right on the best swimming/snorkeling. He’s a little reserved but we got him to joke around a little about bellyflopping off the high dive!

Kiara took AMAZING pictures! Seriously, she was never in the way at all but seemed to be everywhere at once documenting our adventure. At the end of the tour we had the option to buy all the pictures she took with her camera (expensive but the pictures were fantastic!) but she was also nice enough to take pictures with our phones as well.

Can’t recommend this tour enough! It was an absolute steal for the price.

Next time we are in Cabo we will book again without a doubt. Thank you La Isla Tours!

Book this boat ASAP! Our party was 5 people and we had an absolute blast on this boat, the crew (consisting of Jona, Lorena, Bogar and Gus) were incredible, they made us laugh, they were as excited as us, and we all had so much fun.

The boat is insanely clean and well-maintained. The views were incredible, we popped a bottle of champagne at the arch and then we spotted a whale and followed safely behind it for a bit.

All in all, I would rebook this crew, this boat in an instant and can’t wait to do so on my next trip to Cabo!

This experience was the highlight of my bachelorette weekend!!!

The staff was so fun, accommodating, and just overall AMAZING. I can’t say enough great things about the crew and the time we had! The water sports were a blast and the personal photographer on board was the icing on the cake!

THANK YOU for everything!

I would definitely rent this experience again if I come back to Cabo! Love love love!!!

This was our second time on the Pelican in the last two months.

Our first one was a day cruise with water activities and snorkeling. The last one was an evening sunset cruise. They were both so amazing!

Our evening cruise was phenomenal – enjoying the arches at sunset, watching the sun go down and then relaxing on the water with all the lights coming from the resorts and marina – we could have stayed there all night. Everyone in our group thought this was the highlight of our trip. Upgrade to the premium bar and food package – it is so worth it! We cannot wait to go back and experience the amazing Pelican and their crew very soon.

Gracias!!

We had the best time on this boat excursion!! 29 people and we had the 9am tour, which we were really late and didn’t arrive until 9:30am. They didn’t rush us, super easy going crew, and very friendly.

We had a wonderful time boating around the bay and checking out the arch before we anchored off to the side. This next part was by far the highlight of the excursion! We got to jump of the 2nd story of the boat and this was a lot of fun, especially for the kids. They also provided a floating mat, SUP, snorkeling gear, floaties, etc. They had a photographer on the boat and you had the option of purchasing all the photos and gopro video – hands down totally worth the price! The photographer was great and captured SO many great images that are priceless.

I can’t recommend this boat tour enough! You definitely will not be disappointed. Side note, Gabriela was such a pleasure to work with and she was very friendly during the planning stage!

We have been taking a private cruise with La Isla for several years and both of our boys (now 15y and 12y) say it is their FAVORITE thing we ever do … in Cabo or anywhere!

The staff at La Isla for reservations is so easy to work/communicate with and the crew they have on the boats are absolutely fabulous. This year we had a longer vacation and we went out twice with Gustavo and Luisa. We swam, we sang, we ate, we drank, we jumped off the top of the boat, we cruised the Sea of Cortez, we saw Land’s End, El Arco, and the sunset … and we had a perfect time … TWICE!

Luisa and Gustavo took amazing care of us – they were fun, helpful, and professional.

We look forward to coming back and will DEFINITELY book with La Isla again!

Gabrielle’s crew was a joy – many of us have been on private boat charters in Mexico but this was our favorite experience.

What stands out about this experience was the crew and the boat itself. The crew is focused on ensuring your group has a great time, and the boat itself had plenty of space for 16 people.

We loved the set up of the boat as there’s lounge furniture on both levels and is set up in an open format which makes hanging out with each other very easy.

The bonus was all the activity gear that comes with it. We also added on the open bar, food, and a photographer to capture our time on the boat. The photos came out awesome. We had an amazing weekend in Cabo in general but this was the best activity of the weekend and I highly recommending booking!

We had so much fun. Lorena, Jimmy, Sophia, and captain Tony were the boom chaca laca. They were so attentive.

We went out on a voyage of 15 peeps. We were celebrating a high school graduation. We brought our own liquor and Lorena and Jimmy made drinks for us the entire time. Sophia took tons of pics and captain even let me sit in the captain’s chair for some cool pics.

The staff on this boat makes me want to come back to Cabo annually. This was a great tour.

We decided at the last minute that we wanted alcohol and they took us to a place where we could make that happen. Buy the per person alcohol or bring your own. They accommodated us for everything. The Tacos and guacamole were delicious. We will visit Cabo again just to do a boat cruise with them. So. Much. Fun.

They let us dock the boat and explore for over an hour. We saw sea lions in the distance, saw some pretty fish while snorkeling, and got some great pics. The water mat was awesome for chilling and watching the amazing scenery. This was a true highlight of our visit to Cabo.

Thanks so much to this awesome crew. Y’all rock!
