High season fills these fast and the early departures go first. The 15 below are the ones to look at, with current prices and what makes each one different.
Private Cozumel Jeep safari with snorkeling, Punta Sur eco park, east-side beaches, and a chocolate, tortilla, tequila tasting plus lunch.
“Our driver Julio was kind and professional. Great tour he accommodated my husband’s mobility needs well.”
Ride your own jet ski in Puerto Vallarta, snorkel near Los Arcos, and view the Malecón from the ocean, led by Ever.
“Me and my son had a lot of fun!! Would recommend if you like water sport! We had a little hiccup and they rescheduled us for later in the day but we enjoyed the rougher seas anyway!”
Ride a Polaris RZR through Puerto Vallarta’s rainforest, then hike to a waterfall or swim-hole with top guides, snacks, and big mud energy.
“The tour guides were great! Andrea did some awesome pictures! Thank you guys, it was great! I would recommend this to everyone.”
Cabo open-ocean safari with snorkeling gear, whale and dolphin sightings, and Sea of Cortez wildlife, plus photos and snacks in 4 hours.
“I was looking for an ocean tour that was led by passionate individuals who would do their best to find different types of ocean wildlife in a caring and respectful manner. I wanted to be sure that the tour prioritized the wellbeing of the animals and allowed us to see/interact with them in the most ethical way possible. I found what I was looking for with this ocean safari. The guides were all very knowledgeable, kind and charismatic. Their passion for the ocean and the animals was clearly evident. I can’t recommend this tour enough!”
Speedboat to Yelapa and Pizota, with river horseback, a waterfall stop, and a secluded beach BBQ plus open bar.
“Fun and awesome experience!! Buy the water shoes, comfortable and worth it for the trip.”
Private 3-hour boat safari in Rio Lagartos and Las Coloradas for flamingos, crocodiles, pink lagoons, Mayan clay, and a Gulf swim.
“An amazing and unforgettable boat tour through Río Lagartos! The guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the local wildlife and nature. The landscapes were stunning: mangroves, calm waters, and so many different bird species. We were lucky enough to see flamingos, crocodiles, and beautiful pelicans up close. Our guide was very attentive and always responded to our wishes — whenever we pointed at something, he immediately steered the boat closer so we could get a better view and take pictures. This tour is perfect for anyone who loves nature, wildlife, and a bit of adventure. I highly recommend it — a must-do experience in the region!”
La Ventana ocean safari by panga for mobula rays, dolphins, orcas and whales. Snorkel, lunch included, small group, 5 hours.
“We had an amazing day on this safari! We snorkeled above the thousands of mobula rays and saw a blue whale (largest animal to ever live on earth!). Mexico Travel Adventure is an excellent operation -- very professional, safety focused, and clearly cared about the animals and about being good stewards of the environment. Our guide -- Andrea-- was superb. She was super knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. We liked it so much we did another tour with them a few days later.”
Half-day shark safari and snorkel in Cabo San Lucas. Small-group water time, safety briefings, and underwater photos with whale season odds.
“These guys were great! They were knowledgeable, super hospitable, passionate about what they do, and very easy going! They also communicated well. Our group was excited for the opportunity and felt safe the entire time! We all had an awesome time and highly recommend these guys!”
Small-group safari from Puerto Vallarta to Islas Marietas with Hidden Beach swims, reef snorkeling, whale season, and shrimp ceviche.
“Fantastic trip. Eduardo was very responsive to questions prior to the trip. Hidden beach, whales, and snorkeling was great! The small group (4 for our trip made it very special and was well worth it). The Ceviche at the end slapped! 10/10.”
Cabo San Lucas camel safari with lunch and tequila, plus a desert walk, tortilla-making, and possible humpback whales in season.
“This was spectacular. Especially for the price and what it included. For those asking about the additional 25$, it’s for the animal care. They have won awards and the camels are very revered! From start to finish we absolutely had the best time. Don’t hesitate! :) they have 50 camels, donkeys, I think there was even a goat. Epic trip.”
Small-group whale shark swimming ocean safari from Isla Mujeres, all-inclusive with snorkeling, beach time, and a local bilingual crew.
“We had a great time and a phenomenal experience! It took a while to find the whale sharks since it’s the end of the season, but totally worth the journey. When we finally found groups of whale sharks, we were able to swim with them multiple times. We also got to see dolphins, snorkel and saw beautiful beaches. Our tour guide was amazing! We were able to get videos underwater with his GoPro so we don’t have to worry about taking our phones under the water. Would highly recommend anyone!”
Taco Safari in Cabo San Lucas: 3.5-hour walk for 8 tastings, bilingual guide, and local taco spots near Centro. $75 pp.
“Food was amazing. Definitely not your touristy locations. Off the beaten path. Gregor was an excellent guide; knowledgeable about the food and history. Highly recommend.”
Private Africam Safari tour from Puebla and Cholula with air-conditioned round-trip transport, a guide, and admission included for a 4-hour animal park visit.
“The tour came out fine. However you really dont need a tour guide after all for africam safari. Too expensive for what it truly is.. a zoo. Also, the local company viator deals with tried to squeeze other people in my private tour.. so not happy about it. Always trying to rob you. I fixed it but it left a bad taste/experince.. would not recommend this at all!!”
A 5-hour ocean safari from La Paz or La Ventana for mobulas, dolphins, and possible whales, with a bilingual marine biologist.
“the guide Andrea is a Marine Biologist and did a great job explaining the behaviour of the wildlife. Participants in the groups in La Ventana are actually interested in whales and come with pre-knowledge specifically here during whale season - not with hangover like in Cabo. Here are also a lot less boats, which is really nice.”
Small-group ocean safari from San Jose del Cabo with snorkel, lunch, and condition-led wildlife. English, about 5 hours.
“Crew was delightful, they provided wet suit surprisingly fit , & im, 6.5 258. It is in the ocean, we saw dolphins small reef fish, a parrot & needle fish & im 67 & they helped me going up the ladder as ive always had weak feet. Hah hah!”
