On my last morning in Cabo, I decided to snorkel, booking the tour through Wild Canyon at the Casa Dorado. Unusual for me, because I like to dive. But I heard a lot about the area close to the arch, which is called Pelican Bay and I booked a tour to get there. The tour, apart from the main event which is advertised as snorkeling ($99 with hotel pick up and drop off), also includes sightseeing, for lands end and El Arco (I had seen both of these places and the Pacific Ocean and other sights on a private tour two days before)......still, I was willing to go over it again. Everything went smooth, until they dropped me off to snorkel. The captain (Boat Rancho III, 10 am trip, November 6, 2025), explicitly assured me that he was gonna pick me up at 11:40 am (after one hour), as agreed between us. It never happened. I had to keep telling one of the guys on the beach (Oscar) to repeatedly keep calling, and remind them that I was stranded, and needed to go back to my hotel. An additional boat (Rancho IV) with a different captain, finally arrived at around 12:30 PM. It was too little too late. On top of that, there was no water. There was no sandwich, on the beach. Finally, I figured out another blue bag that they took off the boat that had something in it. It was just water and soda so I took a water bottle (let's not forget I had paid for it). How was the snorkeling? it was really good. But this delay of ignoring me and abandoning me for the final return trip, destroyed the whole morning and the early afternoon on my last day, in Cabo. So watch out. This is what happens when you give money upfront, paid to Wild Canyon, they have it in their pocket, now they don't give a damn to provide attention or the customer services that they promised. On top of that, they charge you in pesos even though the product is advertised as 99 US dollars. That may be okay, but when they do the conversion you get screwed, because they multiplied by 19 (and tell you so), when the bank conversion rate is 18.5). The sandwich (I paid for this too), finally came on the rescue boat. How was it? Horrible. I did take several bites because I was very hungry (since I skipped breakfast). I offered half to the new captain and he turned me down. Now I can see why. And by the way, there was crappy help on the beach. You have to do everything on your own (there was supposed to be a guide). This was surprising, because I saw a lot of other groups getting personalized help, something I was assured of, when I booked the tour at Wild Canyon, at the Casa Dorada. In fact, before embarking one of the Rancho Tours staff (they are partners with Wild Canyon), at the marina asked me if I needed a guide and I said yes (it was also included). Those that came after me and snorkeled had already left. If not for Oscar, who was on the beach and kept calling Rancho Tours, I would still be there. All I can say is that, Wild Canyon, who partner with Rancho Tours, (booked through and advertised by Casa Dorado) in Cabo is bad news. It is the worst tour group I have ever dealt with, in all my travels, to the stunning beach destinations of the world. read more

Uriel Castañones was our amazing guide. He was very professional but personable and fun, and gave a great tour of the Hideaway Villages. We were able to see Miraflores and learn a bit about the educational system in Cabo, and learn some history while visiting the local church. The ice cream stand we went to was crazy good, and the owners were very cool. Santiago and Buena Vista were also interesting, seeing a beautiful oasis along the way. We had an excellent lunch and headed home in the rain, but Uriel got us there safely. Very educational and relaxing excursion. Thanks! read more

If you are capable of exploring yourself, DO IT. Sure, they provide transportation and lunch, but would I recommend it? Absolutely not. Majority of the tour was pointing things out through our van. The glass bottom boat tour to see the arch as well as lovers beach was the best part of the tour. The flea market, glass making factory, "art district" (it was empty), and Pearl making jewelry store were underwhelming and drawn out. If one person in your group decides to shop in every spot, you are stuck waiting on them. Aside from that, we booked a 3 hour tour from our concierge at the resort. We were gone for 7.5 hours. We asked the tour guide if we are on the right tour as it was going longer than we thought. It wasn't until we were on our way back that the tour guide decided to admit he forgot to drop us off halfway through the tour. We ended up in a different city, 1.5+ hours away from our resort on the last day of our trip and all of our plans had to be cancelled since the tour took our whole day. When we confronted the concierge, his reaction was basically "oh, but you got a longer tour for a cheaper price." We did not want the longer tour. Some people enjoy shopping and jewelry stores. We specifically picked the shorter tour to experience the glass bottom boat tour ONLY. There was no sense of remorse, no effort to make up for the lost time, nothing. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Excellent service. Our tour guide driver was Dionisio. Good energy, patience and professional. 5 star.

This is an updated review from a review posted several months ago. I was Severely Injured on the Rancho 4 back in January 2021and after a Year of lies and delays as well as submitting all of my medical bills to their Insurance Company CHUBB SEGUROS MÉXICO, their Insurance Company Denied my claim. Even after Rancho Tours manager Francisco Valenzuela admitted that the accident happened while on board their boat they Stuck me with $6000USD in Medical Bills. I almost had to have my leg Amputated, but Rancho Tours took Absolutely No Financial Responsibility for this accident. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! They had the Opportunity to do the Right Thing here but chose to Screw the Victim again and leave me to Pay my own Medical Bills. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!! THEY ARE SCUMBAGS!!! read more

My last day before I leave to Los Angeles and wanted to do something quick and inexpensive. Fortunately I stumbled upon the Glass Bottom Boat tour for only $15 a person! Most activities in Cabo are roughtly $100 so this is truly a bargain. Upon leaving the hotel I recommend taking an Uber to Marina Dock A ; try not to take a shuttle or taxi which will cost you double. Upon arriving you will be asked to put on a life jacket. If you have tourist who speak Spanish, the majority of the trip will be done in that language so I advise you to ask for a pure English your. The tour will last about 35 to 45 minutes and will take you really close to the edge of the rock formations and back. The boat is not fully glass on the bottom so don't expect that. There are 2 small rectangle glass piece where you can peek through. There is one spot where you can see fish for about 5 minutes and that's it. All in all it was a great, fun experience :) Be sure to tip as they ask you ahead of time for it lol read more

Did the tour to Todos Santos. Nice ride there. Didn't realize that once in the town we were committed to staying with the group at every store and restaurant. Didn't have the freedom to shop where ever you wanted. Didn't have the choice on where to eat. Next we'll take a bus or rent a car. Loved what we saw of the town. read more

DO NOT BOOK - THIEVES. Despite having a confirmed reservation for this tritoon trip, with multiple "confirmations" sent to us, and with our credit card charged the full amount. no one picked us up at the appointed time. After calling to find out what was going on, they denied they had any pickups at our resort for this day. They finally found our reservation, and told us they had no boat for us - even though the reservation was in the system! To top it off, they then refused to refund our money, saying we had to do it through TripAdvisor. Lots of apologies, etc etc but bottom line - they have our money and provided nothing in return for it. That is the definition of a thief. read more

My little outing with Rancho Tours was definitely the highlight of my trip to Cabo. I really wanted to see the arch, but I also get violently sea sick, so I was thrilled to know Rancho offers a 45 minute tour and I wouldn't spend 4 hours of my day chumming. For 45 minutes Rancho only charged $25...this has to be the best deal in town besides the 2 for 1 margs at Cabo Wabo's. The tour takes you out through the Sea of Cortez past Pelican Beach, the Arch, Lands End, and a little into the Pacific. Our tour guide was super informative and funny. He was sure to point out the highlights and make some recommendations as well. The glass bottom was more like a glass panel but it was still pretty cool. If you're like me and would rather be on the beach sipping margaritas as opposed to boating around all day, the 45 minute tour is perfect. It was one of those situations where I actually wanted to pay more than what was asked because of how great the experience and value both were. Highly recommended! read more

We were on a cruise ship that not only changed the date were were in port but changed the time twice. Each time Rancho tours easily accommodated the change in schedule. Once in port, they met us promptly and took us in an air conditioned van to boat. From there we had an amazing tour of the rock formations for about an hour. After that they found a perfect spot for us to snorkel for another hour. In particular we appreciated having a boat all to ourselves for about the same price we would have paid to be a part of a crowded cruise ship excursion. With COVID it was important that we find a tour that allowed us to socially distanced and Rancho Tours fit the bill perfectly. Next time we are in Cabo we plan on booking them again for a longer tour. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a reasonable priced tour without all the crowds. read more

I've used this company for three tours. All experiences were very positive. They provided timely hotel pickup. The drivers were knowledgeable and friendly. They provided water and soda during the tours. The vans are air conditioned and comfortable. Some tours include breakfast or lunch, but be sure you confirm what is included in your tour. The tours included free time for shopping. I've taken: 1. Explore Los Cabos (included Cabo San Lucas, Tourist Corridor and San Jose Del Cabo 2. Todos Santos I enjoyed both tours. read more

I booked transportation and a boat ride to the Arco from my resort in Los Cabo's into town. They were on time, the van was clean and air conditioned, the driver was so friendly. It takes about 15-20 minutes to get into Cabo. The first stop is the tour was a tequila tasting place that offered free tequila tours. The stop was about 20 minutes max. After the tour he proceeded to drive a little bit through the streets to point out Cabo Wabo, taco places to eat and more. The final stop was to the marina where we would take a glass bottom ride to the Arco. The boat driver was awesome. He made everyone on the boat laugh, gave a brief history of the Marina, showed the different beaches of course and the arch. The have umbrellas and snorkel gear for rent. Umbrellas are $12 or 200 pesos. The boat driver was a great photographer and made sure we were able to take plenty of pictures. We wanted to spend time on the beach and I recommend visiting Engagement Beach. It's less crowded and has a beach. The water is clear (as all water is in Cabo) and a small place for snorkeling. Everyone wants to go to Lovers Beach but it is way too crowded and no one goes to Divorce Beach. The boat driver picked us up and dropped us back to the Marina. We walked around the town, had lunch, and did a little shopping. When it was time for pick up the driver was waiting for the rest of the passengers at the meeting spot and brought us back to the resort. If you're looking for a tour company I highly recommend Rancho Tours. read more

I paid for three photos from this company after a glass bottom boat ride. They were supposed to email the photos to me. I never received the email with the pictures and they never responded to my emails. Do not support these thieves read more

I took the explore las cabos city tour. My first piece of advise is do a tour in the beginning of your trip. We did it at the end and realized there was a lot we could have done outside of our resort. Transportation and lunch was provided. The tour itself was underwhelming as a tour, although it was informative enough. A lot of the tour was pointing stuff out from the shuttle. It was hard to see anything because the windows were small, so it was an awkward neck position. We then went on a glass bottom boat that was pretty and relaxing. We went to a small flea market where I found a gorgeous granite chess set. We got lunch at a delicious restaurant - the fish was amazing. They took us to a glass making factory that was entertaining. My biggest issue with the tour was "the art district." they took us to was a super empty town/square area. The "art" was a jewelry store and a pretty beaded figurine store. Everything was beautiful but it was essentially a forced shopping experience. There was obviously a relationship between the tour company and the shop owner(s). We were stuck there for a while because one couple decided to shop extensively. There was nowhere for us to go while we waited. The owner of the jewelry store was also rude. read more

We took the sunset whale watching tour with Sergio "El Pargo" Medrano of Rancho Tours. Their entire operation was seamless and easy.Sergio provided is an amazing,wonderful experience. From start to finish everything was perfect. He did everything to accommodate us and make sure we had a good time. We got some really amazing photos and thanks to him jockeying us to get us as close to the whales as he could. The private boat tour with just our family and his music Playlist was bumping! This was the best compared to others. We highly recommend Rancho Tours for anything. We can't wait to see them all again when we come back. Will use Rancho Tours everytime now read more

Complete and total rip off!! Avoid at all cost! They bring you to the venue and then additional charges magically start to appear. Charges you haven't been told about get added for you to pay. The Boat that takes you out is not a glass bottom, they show you pictures of boats with a full glass bottom but when you show up, the boat has two small glass windows that are dirty and you can barely see anything through them. Very sleazy staff. Just stay away!! read more

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE avoid booking excursion(s) through Rancho Tours! We had a horrible/unsafe experience at the hands of one of their drivers (Juan Manuel). We came up to a robbery in progress and the driver did NOTHING to keep us safe but the complete opposite, he put us in harms way! Shots starting ringing and he would not drive away, the show was too good for him! Kids & adults crying and begging him to drive away! When he finally did his words were..."Least you got a show" I am a firm believer that word of mouth is the best form of advertising. While the supervisor has apologized, nothing will ever erase those memories for my kids and the heartache I feel knowing my kids experienced that thanks to him. I will do all I can to spread the word! read more

I visited Cabo in January for my birthday, and through the resort I was connected to Rancho Tours for the glass bottom boat tour. The older gentleman that drove the boat was so nice, professional, and extremely accommodating. Later on that day I booked a snorkeling excursion with them and Martin Manriquez Vargas was my guide. Hands down the best snorkeling guide every!! He was so attentive, and I was super nervous b/c I'm not the strongest swimmer, but felt completely safe with him. Martin was patient and made the experience worthwhile. I felt like a celebrity with the treatment I was given, and it came without the celebrity price tag. Definitely worth the money, and honestly think it was worth more. I will definitely book him again when I return to Cabo read more

Friendly guides. We tipped them in $1 cash USD. A trip to the El Arco, on a seaglass bottom boat. I didn't get seasick.

We took the glass bottom boat tour. It was a great experience. We had them pick us up at our hotel. The delivery driver was excellent and very friendly. The guy who checked us in was also friendly. The manager was very prompt about answering emails and very helpful. The boat driver was really informative. Could have stayed looking at the fish longer but a big deal. I would definitely recommend them to other people and use them again. read more

Our group of 7 (5 adults and 2 kids) had an amazing time on a snorkeling excursion with Rancho Tours today! Their pricing was very competitive, the boats we went in were very nice pontoon boats with shade. We took a tour out to the arch, to lovers beach and divorce beach and then snorkeled at pelican beach. The company set us up with umbrellas, lunch and drinks at the beach. We also had a tour guide the whole time who took us our snorkeling. This was the best snorkel excursion I have done and I highly recommend it! Ask for Martin and Alejandro! read more

We used this company for a snorkel tour by the arch. They picked us up in San Jose del Cabo and drove us to the marina where we departed on a boat with our guide (Wilbur). He motored us out to the arch in the Sea of Cortez and went around the corner to the Pacific Ocean Side where the water was a bit choppy. We then went back to the snorkeling area just past lover's beach. He took us on a guided snorkel tour, pointing out various types of fish, an eel, and some reef sharks. We snorkeled over a few scuba divers in deeper water. They provide a nice boxed lunch with drinks. Because we were the last tour of the day he motored up the beach a ways in front of Cabo San Lucas and pointed out various points of interest. Highly recommended if you have a tour guide as good as Wilbur. Ask for him, he was what made the tour fun. They gave us a ride back to our destination resort (30 minute drive). Great company, highly recommended. read more

We booked the snorkel tour to the arch and our 2 year old son was with us. I cannot day enough good things about this tour company. They came to pick us up at our hotel and dropped us off at the marina where we met our guide Miko, who was amazing! He knew so much about the area and gave us a great history of everything and took his time allowing us to take photos. He even hung out with our son so my husband and I could go snorkel together. The snorkeling was great, we got to see tons of fish and there was plenty of time to do so. The price was great, $85pp and it included lunch. All in all the tour was about 3 hours and we got to see everything we wanted to and more. read more

We took an excursion day trip to Todos Santos from Cabo San Lucas. We paid $120 USD for the two of us total. Does not include lunch. You have 2.5 hours in Todos Santos to walk around and buy lunch at one of the local restaurants. Recommend Bahia Pescaderia Bar and Restaurant. The tour was about 5 hours. They picked up at other hotels before heading out, so we were with the guide like 8 hours total. Eduardo or Eddy, was our guide. His English was very good. His knowledge of the history and sights was very informational. We learned a lot. The added humor was also an added bonus! The vans are very clean and spacious. They are air-conditioned and on the newer side. Just thought the price was a bit on the high side. read more

This was a great tour. We were scheduled for a La Paz your. On the way, we stopped to see a carpet factory. It was a small outdoor shop with an old fashioned loom. On the way, you'll drive by the 23.5 latitude monument (the Tropic of Cancer). It's nice, but not monumental. Next was Todos Santos. This is where you'll see Hotel California (no real proof the Eagles had anything to do with this hotel). We took a few pictures, then, on to La Paz. Next stop was La Paz. We were there a short time (30 minutes) because another guest was told they would see Balandra Beach. Our guide tried to be fair to everyone. If you want to go there, just know it's crowded. It's also very hot and stinky (end of August). Which makes you wonder why it's crowded. After 30 minmutes here, we drove back to our hotels. It was about a 10 hour day. Our guide was Daniel. He was very polite and professional. He is the main reason I give this place 5 stars. read more
