Had a great time with Paco, he was friendly and helpful. They arranged pickup for us, you're able to store things in the car if needed. Paco also had a dry bag available for us to use to store our things so nothing would get wet and took lots of pictures of me and my sister. We weren't able to visit lovers Beach at no fault of our guide, but that just gave us more time for snorkeling at Pelican Rock which was really fun and we got to see a lot of fish. We even got to see two sea lions on the way!

We loved our tour, and it was such a pleasure to meet Sasha and Pablo. They worked hard to make sure we had a great experience, even working to reschedule our paddling trip around some sub optimal weather. The pickup was smooth, and we appreciated the pace of the tour, getting a good workout but never feeling rushed. We enjoyed getting a local perspective on Cabo, and some Mexican culture. We loved the snorkeling, and got to see all sorts of tropical fish including a Moray Eel! The trip was a great value! A highlight of our stay
My 18yo daughter and I went to Cabo for a last solo trip before I take her to college next week. We wanted to go see the Arch and Lovers Beach but I don't do well on boats so we thought this would be perfect and it was! Everything was seamless. We booked just the day before, we were picked up right on time in our hotel lobby and brought to the marina to meet our guide Paco. The trip has a max of 4 ppl but we were only 2 and no one else boked so we got a private tour at no extra cost! Paco made sure we were comfortable and felt safe. We had a dry bag for our clothes, cell phones, wallets, etc. and off we went. You can stand up and paddle or sit on the board and use a kayak style paddle s it works for any level athlete (or not athlete). I think the best part was that Paco had a real camera and took tons of pictures of us which will be emailed to us so we didn't need our phones at all. The snorkeling portion was fantastic, we saw tons of fish, and everything was provided for us. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful adventure.
This was a great experience, the guides Josue and Roberto were SO patient and SO helpful! It was my first time paddleboarding and snorkeling and the guides took me through every step in a way that made it super enjoyable and not scary! Cannot recommend this activity enough!!
Everyone was great from our driver Sasha to our guide Josue. Great customer service and a great time all around. Without a doubt a must do when in Cabo San Lucas. Definitely would recommend!!!
Man this was the best choice I made during my trip to Cabo!! Got to see some of the most beautiful natural rock formations and gorgeous beaches from the comfort of a paddle board - right there with the fishes :) BUT, what made this excursion more than just an excursion were the staff - Pedro and Paco - who answered all my many many questions about the local environs, and let me practice Spanish!! Paco was so fun to paddleboard with - gave great instruction and tips for my first time paddleboarding in an ocean. And he was super fun challenging me to jump off a giant rock! And I did it!! Thanks so much you guys - excellent trip!!
Best part of our cruise to Cabo! Guide was so knowledgeable and fun, really made the experience even better. We got to see manta rays, experience lovers beach when no one else was there and snorkel with a sea lion! Can’t say enough about this experience, I would recommend it to anyone! The SUP was not difficult and the guide was very patient as well and made us feel very comfortable.
Amazing guide and incredible views. Small group that was so much fun!!! Would do it again and would bring my kids next time!!!
Josue was an amazing guide! Despite choppy waters and rough waves, he got us to the arch and lovers beach without fear (well he had no fear). Snorkeling at pelican beach was exceptional!
Great experience with Paco, Pablo, and Sasha! Highly recommend going in the morning. The water was very quiet.
I cannot say enough good things about this tour! Josué was a fantastic tour guide, and his true passion for the water and the creatures that live in it really shone as he guided our tour. I would highly recommend this method of viewing the arch. On a gorgeous October day, having had previous paddleboard experience, we were able to reach the arch before any of the motor boats and nearly had Lover’s beach to ourselves! It was certainly worth getting up early for, as by the time the tour ended, the arch area was much more crowded. The snorkeling was beautiful and we saw so many fish! It felt like being inside an aquarium. After the tour ended, we enjoyed floating in the water at this small, uncrowded beach. If you have never paddleboarded before, I feel confident you will still enjoy this trip, but you might want to consider kayaking instead. There was so much to see, that spending time learning to paddleboard might not be the best use of the time. The office staff are friendly and helpful, so consider calling or emailing to make sure you book the trip that is perfect for you. Also, if you do not opt for the pick up option, know that the sign at this beach calls it Playa El Corsario. Apparently this beach goes by several different names. There is a wooden boardwalk and small information hut as you enter.
This is hands down the best family trip! Our family spent a day kayaking and snorkling with professional guides from true baja, and all of us had a really good time! They are very helpful and friendly, and the arrangement including the transportation are well prepared. The pictures they took for us are vulneable and we love them! Highly recommended to ppl traveling to los cabo if u r looking for an unforgettable experience in mexico!
My friend and I travel every few years to getaway and always try to get in a paddle board trip. True Baja's paddle board tour with Josue was better than we thought it would be. We did the 8am tour so we were able to beat the mass of tour boats heading to the Arch and got a few minutes for pictures without anyone around. Although a bit nervewracking with the waves crashing into the rocks, we knew we were in good hands. Snorkeling at Pelican's Rock was just as eventful with Josue pointing out all the beautiful fish as well as finding an octopus curled under rocks. Josue is very knowledgeable and clearly loves what he does. If I get back to Cabo, I would happily do this tour again and will recommend it to all!
If you’re into water activities, I highly recommend this experience. It was challenging at times on the water with the waves coming in from the surrounding boats, but the experience was safe, enjoyable, and very unique. Just be calm and listen to directions from the guide. Josue, our guide, was awesome. This is a “must-do” when you visit cabo
If you want to be fully immersed in the waters and marine life in Cabo, this excursion is for you! Pablo will guide you out to the Arch and he takes amazing photos for you. Then you will take the boards to Lovers Beach and get to walk around and explore. Be sure to check out the huge waves on Divorce Beach too. Then you will get back on your boards and go to a different beach at which you will begin the snorkeling part of the tour. We saw endless amounts of fish of all varieties and an octopus too! The water was the perfect temperature. I believe we snorkeled for about an hour! It was amazing. Highly recommend!
We booked this last minute and we're glad we did. Joshue was a great guide and he patiently taught all 4 of us to paddle board, including my 8 and 12 year old daughters. Super fun and truly memorable snorkeling. Well worth it!!
Amazing! Unlike other "paddleboarding" experiences we've done (all over the world), this one didn't have any kayakers! In fact, it was just the 2 of us and our guide, Josua. So really it was a private tour, and Josua was awesome. Super nice, very helpful, and he knew lots about the area he shared with us along the way. If you're a paddle boarder, book this company! That said, if you're new to paddleboarding, this tour might be a little challenging for you. We are fairly experienced and we were challenged at times by rough water, and it was a relatively calm day for Cabo. The snorkeling is an added bonus. After some heavy paddling, it was really nice to just swim around in the cool water looking at sea life. Then it's a nice relaxing paddle back to the beach. Honestly, we couldn't have had a better experience. It was perfect.
Hands down this excursion would be my top of the list recommendation for anyone traveling to Cabo. I highly recommend the sunrise slot. This Company is phenomenal. They are small, personable, responsive to questions, and just generally care about the customer experience. Being in a paddle board as the sun rises is something you will never forget. The snorkeling felt like swimming in a fish bowl with the sheer number of fish surrounding you. The guides are friendly, knowledgeable, and keep you safe while also being flexible enough to let you have the freedom to make the adventure what you want. I’m so glad that we decided to book with this Company instead of one of the big tourist companies. The experience just can’t be matched.
I had an awesome experience with this tour and the company. Sasha and Josue were very friendly and welcoming. Sasha picked us up right on time from our hotel. When we got to the beach, Josue had everything ready for to go for us. We had a pretty smooth paddle board ride out to the arch. Along the way, we saw some sea birds and had a couple of sea lions swim along side us! At the arch, Josue explained how the arch came to be and took some nice photos (for free) of me and my wife. We then made our way to Lover’s Beach to walk around for a bit. We could have stayed longer but we were ready to get to snorkeling. Paddled over to Pelican Rock and spent a good amount of time snorkeling. Saw a brunch of different fish and swam near a sea lion lying on a rock. We then made our way back and it was all amazing. I recommend starting earlier in the morning because towards the end of the snorkeling part, it started to get busier. Overall, this trip was incredible from the staff to the views and the layout of the trip. Josue kept our belongings (including our phones and change of clothes) in a dry bag with him the whole time; not a drop of water on anything. Water and snacks were provided. I would absolutely do this trip again if/when I come back to Cabo.
We had a great time on this tour with our tour guide Josue! We began by paddle boarding about a mile to the arch. While paddling, we had some sea lions come swim next to us! The tour guides take photos of you in front of the arch for no extra charge (unlike a lot of other companies in the area). We then paddled to Lover’s Beach where we were able to walk around and explore. Josue brought waters and granola bars for us to have on the beach. The beaches here are beautiful and the rock formations are incredible! We then paddled to Pelican Rock to snorkel. We were able to see sea lions on the rocks, pelicans, and a bunch of different fish! You have to wear a life jacket while paddle boarding, but you are able to take it off for snorkeling. It was nice to be able to take off the life jackets because it allowed us to dive under water and see more of the rock formations and fish! They have dry bags so we could bring our belongings without them getting wet. They provided transportation for us to and from our hotel. Our driver, Sasha, was great! She was super friendly and punctual. I definitely recommend going on an early morning tour. We went on an 8am tour and it was perfect! The water was not crowded with other tours or boats in the morning. We had great views with only a few other boats to watch out for. Snorkeling was not crowded but was starting to get busy by the time we were leaving. By the time we were paddling back to land, it was starting to get busy in the water. Overall, this was a really great tour!! The people who work here are amazing and every part of the tour was so fun!
We spent five days in Cabo doing a variety of activities and this was by far our favorite! It was an incredible intimate experience. Our guide was amazing, and the view was unbeatable. This was the highlight for both me and my boyfriend.
This was an amazing tour from start to finish. Easy booking process and clear communication about the hotel pickup time. The ride arrived on time in a clean and comfortable van with a very friendly driver. We arrived at the launch point, I met my guide (Fernando I believe) and after some introductions, safety info, etc we were out on the water. I got lucky and we had amazing flat water conditions that day. The first leg was a paddle out to the arch. It is not a long paddle but is beautiful. We lucked out and were the only ones at the arch. The guide was able to take some great photos (included in the tour cost) which they emailed me the next day. Yes, included photos for no extra cost! After that it was a short paddle over to the beach, where again we were lucky and were the only ones there. This beach is a popular place for a reason. It is absolutely gorgeous. After spending some time there we were then off to the snorkel location. The guide really built it up for me and it did not disappoint. There was so much marine life and the reef looked to be pretty health. I didn't notice any other tourists doing anything to damage to it which is refreshing (doesn't mean it isn't happening, but hopefully it is not). We were able to spend a good amount of time there and I was able to explore it really well. After that it's a short paddle back to land. I was sad to be done, but left so happy with everything. The van on the way back had towels on the seats too which was one more little detail that added to the overall positive impression. While I had great weather and wildlife viewing, those are things that are out of control of the tour company. The things they did have control of (itinerary, timeliness, friendliness, knowledge of the area, professionalism, etc) were done perfectly. I definitely made the right decision booking with them. Next time I am in the area I will absolutely do another tour with True Baja and would recommend them to any friends or family I have going to the area. As a solo traveller I always appreciate a tour company that doesn't price gauge when there is only one person booked. A big thank you to True Baja for taking such great care of me.
Awesome tour with Josue. The scenery is amazing snd the snorkeling was great as well. Josue was very knowledgeable about the area and a wonderful tour guide
We were inexperienced paddle boarders and our guide, Sasha, made the trip fun and safe. She was very knowledgeable about the geography and wildlife--we saw pelicans, sea lions, the astounding rock formations, and snorkeled with multitudes of beautiful fish. Highly recommend!!
Amazing morning on the water!! Must do in Cabo! Our guide Josue was great! Sign up for the sunrise trip, you won’t regret it!
The 6 AM sunrise expedition was stunning, the water was clear and calm. Our guide, José Luis, was great, he was very knowledgeable and made a great expedition even better. He helped take photos at the arch and pointed out unique fish during the snorkeling. Would highly recommend José Luis and this tour.
Super fun experience. Our tour guide was very patient with us and offered alternatives (kayak) to the paddleboard since I was not very skilled and the water was very choppy. Only negative feedback was how busy the water was with other boats; however, that is not in True Baja's control.
Absolutely the best way to see the arch and to get to lovers beach! It was about a mile each way. Totally worth it to land and experience the quiet walk to the other side and hear the crashing waves of divorce beach. I’m not that big into snorkeling so I sat that activity out while my sons tried it out. Our guides Luis and Josue were patient and very nice. I do not typically write reviews however I wanted to share that I would sign up for this tour again…..it was that much fun.
Pablo is a fantastic guide. The tour was well organized and thoughtful. He and his partner worked hard to make sure that it was a great experience for us. We had a blast and really enjoyed the scenery as well as fun stories. Highly recommend this tour!
Fantastic experience! Professional, excellent equipment, on time, organized - can't say enough good things about kayaking and snorkeling with True Baja. We also went for inland guided hike that was outstanding.
Pablo and Jas are great guides. The pictures Jas took of my wife and me in front of the arch, the sea lions, and on lover’s beach will be cherished for a long time. Thank you TrueBajaMx for an incredible excursion.
Highly recommended. Best way to start the day! Great experience and excellent service!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A MUST if you are in Los Cabos!
It was a really amazing tour around Cabo San Lucas bay, paddeling and snorkeling. The crew were super profesional and simpatic, so they make my day. Suntise was amazing, also the views and the whole adventure. 100% recomended
I went with my sisters and we were delighted, the service is super professional and fun! Pablo, our guide, made us feel super safe even though we had never paddled. We loved that the photos are included. Super recommended!
The best thing about the expedition was the treatment and explanation of each place we went. The guides, very professional and patient.
Last week I experienced the best close of the month, it was my first time in paddleboarding and although I was a little nervous, they explained very well and I felt super safe. The guides are always very attentive and see that they know the place perfectly. From what I saw, there are no words, sunrise on the beach, reach the arch by paddleboard and snorkel (also for the first time) pffff, I will definitely come back!
It was one of the best experiences, if you are looking to do paddleboarding and snorkeling and it is your first time doing this activity, the low true guys are experts because they know the place very well and have the best equipment. As you do the tour you will be told about the marine life you can find on the beach the pelican, as well as the history of the famous beach of love.
A unique experience for those who wish to know the Arch of Saint Luke in the company of the best companions: Hassan and Pablo. 100% recommended
The tour is 100% recommended, we feel safe at all times, the guides are very respectful of the fauna and Mood. All very professional! They also took very nice pictures!
I'm from Los Cabos and I've been to the bow more than 50 times, but no experience like this. So vivid, and such personalized attention, that you appreciate so much professionalism. I hope to return soon with our children to live such a beautiful experience.
I was very afraid to make this adventure, however I was excited to see the sunrise from the sea, something that made me take the step to the adventure was the explanation and confidence that Pablo (one of the guides ), also showed me his kayaks and gave me security since they look well taken care of, they bring backup (super important), I loved that they take great care of the marine nature and also for now they take photographs and go free (because of the COVID wave ), I highly recommend it. A and we got water and energy bar 👌🏻.
My boyfriend and I did the tour in a double kayak and it was the best experience we ever had! True Low has the best guides without a doubt. It was super fun the tour, the beach of love was beautiful, the snorkeling was amazing because there was great visibility and we could even see sea lions! It is worth stopping early because it is a tour I definitely plan to do again. Thanks for a great experience.
The well-kept kayaks with all the safety attachments, punctual in the appointment for departure, the guides are well prepared and know the area, respect the indications of the port captaincy, take good photos for the memory
A unique and different experience, full of excitement with lots of marine life, highly recommended!!!! Congratulations to the whole team for the confidence and security they manage, I would definitely repeat it.
I loved this activity. Truebaja has excellent Service, excellent Guide and Photographer! An experience I will never forget, go to the arch, paddle with 2 whales and end with snorkeling. Super recommended.
If you’re looking for a different, nature-friendly experience, this is the option for you. On the tour we were welcomed by Hassen and Pablo, they gave us the directions to have a safe and fun experience. Even if you have no experience in paddle or kayaking, they explain. When snorkeling we saw a lot of marine life, I would definitely try again.
An unforgettable experience with excellent guides! I loved passing the iconic beaches of Cabo and having the opportunity to see fish and rock formations!
