What people are saying about Loreto, Mexico

Ricardo the captain is personable, knowledgeable about the wildlife and history. Chris the first mate makes a mean Margarita which is included in the price. Kayaking was not offered not sure why not. Maybe because there was just two couples on board. Only two of us snorkelled. Snorkelling was great. The catamaran was clean. We motored around. Sails are in order. Lunch is a ham and cheese sandwich which seems to be the standard lunch on tours here. We saw sting rays from the boat. A pod of dolphins raced with us at the bow. Live that.

Wonderful sailor and snorkeling trip for family of 15 (3 generations)! Diana and Chalio were fantastic guides and friendly hosts. We swam with dolphins, snorkeled at Honeymoon Cove, ate some delicious snacks, and drank some delicious margaritas. To top it off, we watched several whales breaching on the way back to the marina!

All good except that in the tour it was supposed to be snorkeling and kayaking but it was only snorkeling, if they are not going to fulfill it as specified, they should notify thanks.

Great trip. Lovely clean boat. Fun and knowledgeable crew. Nice food and drinks. Lots of dolphins!!!! Lovely bays for snorkeling & swimming. Good music. All round a super fun day.

Chalio was a great guide. The mission was beautiful! The lunch was made from ingredients all grown and processed on the premises. Amazing trip, highly recommend.
