Tom Cruisin Posted June 14, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 14, 2012 We have two days in Cabo and was thinking of ATVs/Buggies on the first day. It's offered through the ship as well as some other sites but was also considering just winging it in the hopes of coming across some vendors once we get off the tender. This is my first cruise and first time in Cabo so I'm not really sure what to expect. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgfpat Posted June 15, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I would just wait. Once you get off the ship there are a lot of local vender that sell the same excursion for 35% off the cruise ship price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronrythm Posted June 18, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I have booked ATVs in Cabo several times through a site that advertises here on CC http://www.cabosanlucastours.net/Cruise-Shore-Excursions.htm and had great experiences, including refunding our money when we couldn't dock. Migrino Beach is a great tour. I have also seen a lot of folks trying to sell tours around the tender dock. Personally, I don't want to spend my time haggling to get a good price. Not my idea of fun, but I know some other people enjoy that. Enjoy Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbclaw13 Posted June 19, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi .. what excursions and companies did you book with? I am going in September on Carnival and am trying to find the best deals...thank you :) Hi there we used Eduardo at blue baja los cabs the first day we did parasailing then they took us on a glass bottom boat tour then they dropped us at lovers beach. They provided us chairs and umbrella ice chest with water and soda. Lunch and boogie boards and snorkel. And came back for us when we wanted. All for $160 for four of us. 2nd day used cabo experience and went an swam with dolphins. It was much cheaper and they did transportation for 105 per person. Just make sure to get off ship early. Last week the stopped letting folks off to get to cabo the 2nd day. Due to rough waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cruisin Posted June 19, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted June 19, 2012 thanks again to everyone chiming in. i think winging it sounds like a good idea to save a little bit of money while not being entirely too risky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try and "haggle" with either of the companies? I've been corresponding with Eduardo for a month or so and he seems pretty reasonable and willing to negotiate on prices ... even book 2 tours and get 1 free. Did you deal with anyone particular with Cabo Experience? I am cruising on Carnival's Splendor in September ... thank you :) Marianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed with him before we got there and we had no issues, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcarney Posted June 25, 2012 #11 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yes, Eduardo answers my emails timely and seems very attentive ... I know his price on parasailing has beat everyone's so far.... Thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crAZytwinmomma Posted August 13, 2012 #16 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Thanks for the info. I love this message board :D We may do parasailing and will check out this option. Does he do parent/child tandem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crAZytwinmomma Posted October 2, 2012 #18 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hi... here's his email: bluebajaloscabos@hotmail.com When are you sailing? Thanks for your posts. We have emailed him and plan to parasail for sure. His price is good enough that I would rather have it preset than bargain in Cabo. I am interested in a city tour with him as well...have you done a city tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcarney Posted October 2, 2012 #19 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hi ... we didn't have time to parasail or do a city tour - I went scuba diving (beginner) and used Baja Dive Shop (near the Wyndham Hotel) --- EXCELLENT experience ... ask for Carlos who is the master dive instructor if you go. The 2nd day we took a 3 hour day tour in Cabo.The Rissalena $55 per adult & children under 10 half price cash payable on the day... Lunch & open bar included. Snorkeling equipment included - awesome day and it's a family run business...they were A class!!!! Have a great time!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
