Fun Tour!

The Rancho Tour was fun! The glass windows were smaller than we expected and we couldn’t really see anything until the boat stopped at Pelican Beach. They also gave us the opportunity to be dropped off at this snorkeling beach on the way back for an hour. They promptly picked us up and then offered to drop us off at a dock closer to our ship terminal. This helped as it was a bit of a walk to dock A from the cruise ship terminal. It is a nice easy walk if you have the time (about 20 to 25 minutes).
Awesome views

Antonio was the best, most entertaining guide. Scenery was beautiful, well worth the trip. We saw colorful fish and stingrays too. Highly recommend!
Amazing time!

Jermel was an amazing tour guide! He gave us all the information about the different beaches. We got to see lovers and divorce beach and the pacific side of the ocean. There was even a photographer on board to take pictures! We will definitely be back
Super fun!

Disappointed

Our boat trip was canceled and we were not notified. We stayed in Los Cabo’s which is about 25mins from the Marina. We took Uber which was about $24usd each way. When we got there the operator said the tours were closed due to incoming storm no little boats came leave the port. I understand weather can’t be controlled nor predicted but a least have a better system of contacting patrons. All I was told was to request a refund and it would be granted.
Response from Host , Aug 2021
Hi
I am so sorry about your experience and we assure you it was not our intentions that you were not notified at times we have last minute closures by the Marina that is out of our control. I hope to be of better service in the future if you come back to Cabo. Rancho Tours is here to provide you with a better experience.

Great boat ride

Our captain was great, very personable! He explained the views and was very friendly. The boat ride was really fun!!
Enjoyable ride but not what I expected
Michelle_W
, Jul 2021
The boat ride was fun but we had a party of 11 and had to take 3 separate boats. Only 1 boat had a glass bottom and our time was cut short. We stayed in the boat for a shorter time then I expected but the captain was very nice.
Response from Host , Jul 2021
Hi
We appreciate your comments and taking the time for the review. I completely understand about the minimal capacity; However, per covid reasons the Cabo Tourism board only allows 5 passenger max per boat. We apologize for the inconvenience. We hope to help in the future with any tours upon your stay in Cabo.
Thank you
Best memory on our Cabo trip!

Rancho Tours were professional and friendly. Our guide, Tony made sure we got AMAZING photos of El Arco, Lover’s Beach and pointed out all the main sights. He showed the kids how to feed the fish at Pelican Rock, and stopped the boat to watch stingrays jumping near El Arco! We were a party of 8 (4 adults, 4 kids) so we went out in two boats to follow their COVID protocols, but they kept us alongside each other and kept it fun. They were safe (COVID and water protocols) and helpful.
Response from Host , Jul 2021
Hi
Thank you very much for your detailed review and comments. This is very important for Rancho Tours as we take into consideration all of the reviews and rest assured we are always taking the time to provide better service to our customers. Thanks again and we are so happy your time with Rancho Tours and Cabo San Lucas was professional and friendly. Hope to see you again with Rancho Tours.

This was not a tour

This was my second boat tour from a different company and I was surprised how much the boat driver barely talked about the arches. He didn’t seem like he wanted to be there and made us uncomfortable. He barely knew any historical facts and wouldn’t even talk about it in Spanish. It wasn’t enjoyable or fun like the other boat drivers I’ve experienced. I could’ve probably done the Job better
Awesome boat ride

The captain was amazing! Would highly recommend this glass boat.
He took the time to explain all the attractions.

Seeing the arches for first time was amazing. The water, fish and sea lions were beautiful. Our guide Mele is perfect for his job. He made our experience so worth it.
Great experience

Captain Marcos was awesome. Great boat driver, dropped us off at Sunset Beach and was there waiting an hour later as promised for our return.
Do Not Book

We were charged a dock fee to get to the boat which was not mentioned at booking, the crew was late getting there, a lady was on the boat taking pictures of us but we didn’t have an option to get the pictures, we were asked if we wanted to swim at Divorce beach for a while, when we said we wanted to we were then informed that the beach didn’t open until 10am. Do not recommend and will not book with this company ever again.

Rancho Tours Glass Bottom Boat Tour

Guide was very good. Was unable to see any fish through the glass bottom. Picked tour because it stated you could spend time at Lover's Beach and they would come back and pick you up. Was told by guide they could not stop there because water was dirty due to resent heavy rains. However beach was plenty full by that afternoon. I am sure they did not have other tours departing after ours and they did not want to go back out to pick us up. Disappointing!
Great views!

When searching online, this was the best price I could find for a water taxi that tours the Arch of Cabo. If you wait to buy a ticket from a boat tour along the beach or the marina, you can bargain for a better price. Overall, the tour guide was very friendly and the views were amazing. I cam dressed thinking we could get dropped off at the beach and then water taxi back later but the boat never made a stop for drop-offs at the beach as stated in the description. Overall, great tour and got some awesome pictures.
So much fun!!

Overall I liked our tour. Our guide Jercel was very nice and informative. He even stopped near the arch and took pictures for us. My first complaint is that I paid $15 for person which is not a bad deal but when we arrived to check in others were able to pay $10 per person. My second complaint is that the description says it stops at the beach and you can get off and get onto another boat to get back but that did not happen. While I do recommend the tour I can also say that you can bargain with the tour guides once you get there instead of booking online.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
