Loved the experience - The tour guide was the owner and he was great. He showed up on time and explained the towns and mountains along the way. The ride was about 1.5 hours. He gave us the option of doing the hot springs or hiking to the waterfall and we chose the waterfall because it was hot outside already. He came with cold water and protein granola bars. The waterfall was beautiful and we got to swim in it. Then we hiked some more to the top of the waterfall and a natural slide that my son went down. The hike was moderately strenuous but beautiful. He explained some plants and animals. I would recommend the local restaurant after the hike. It had great food and reasonable prices. We were back by 2:30pm. I’m so glad we did the hike and would do the hot springs in the winter time.

Outstanding hot springs experience! - This excursion was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Carlos was knowledgeable, friendly, and made this an exceptional experience. He went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Everything was well organized, and we got to see and do so much more than expected. The scenery was breathtaking, the hot springs were unforgettable, and the local culture was shared in such a genuine way. The lobster taco lunch was excellent. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Mexico!

Unforgettable experience - The hike to the springs with Carlos as our guide was an amazing adventure. Carlos was knowledgeable about the terrain, accurately assessed our fitness level, and knew we could handle a bit of a challenging hike that would take us to some incredible waterfalls in the oasis. Carlos tended to our every need. As we moved from one body of water to the next, we relaxed in the water while he carried all of our stuff from one site to another and captured amazing pictures of us so we could enjoy the memories. His recommendation for a local eatery was fantastic and he stopped at a market on the way back so we could get supplies for the evening. Carlos is patient, personable and passionate about the beauty of nature. If you like hiking and swimming in natural springs, Carlos is your person. He will give you a personalized and memorable experience. Truly grateful.

Gorgeous views - This was by far my favorite excursion we booked the tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient with me during the hike. End up doing the waterfall range instead due to his recommendation as the spring would have been too hot. I’m very happy with that recommendation and he took us to the extra pools around the waterfall that were private. I could go on but overall if you enjoy hiking and seeing beautiful sights you will love this.

A Perfect Day in Cabo –... - A Perfect Day in Cabo – Highly Recommend!
We traveled as a group of 12 across 3 families, including (2) kids ages 5–7, (4) teens ages 12–15, and 6 adults. We were looking for a fun and memorable excursion during our cruise stop in Cabo—and this tour exceeded every expectation!
Pre-Excursion: 10/10
The booking process was seamless. I accidentally booked the wrong date, but Viator made it incredibly easy to change it. We booked the tour six months in advance, and as the date approached, communication with the tour operator, Max, was outstanding. He provided clear details on where to meet, what to expect, and answered all my follow-up questions promptly—usually within a day.
Excursion Day: 10/10 (Honestly, more like 20/10)
Max kept in contact via WhatsApp, making it easy to find him once we got off the tender. He welcomed us and led us to a clean, air-conditioned van stocked with water, soda, and beer. We also met Carlos, who co-led the tour and was just as fantastic.
Since the weather was unexpectedly hot and humid (86°F+), Max and Carlos offered us three options:
1. The original hot springs,
2. A 45-minute hike to scenic pools, or
3. A shorter 20-minute hike to a pool with a waterfall.
We chose the waterfall—and we’re so glad we did. Max and Carlos went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable time. They guided us over rocks, helped the brave ones jump into the water, climbed with our GoPro to get amazing footage, and even helped recover a phone someone dropped in the pool!
After our waterfall adventure, we stopped at a phenomenal local restaurant before returning to the ship. The food was outstanding—our group ordered nachos, quesadillas, meat tacos, and lobster tacos. Every dish was packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The fresh mango margaritas were next level!
Final Thoughts:
Max and Carlos were exceptional guides who read our group perfectly. They were kind, fun, and clearly passionate about giving guests a memorable experience. Thanks to them, we made lifelong memories. If you’re in Cabo for the day, don’t hesitate—book this tour! Our group of 12 gives it our highest recommendation.

Carlos the tour guide - If your tour guide isn’t Carlos, then you’re doing it all wrong! Not only does this man have the purest soul and loves what he does. He will make sure you feel safe, comfortable and get your monies worth. It was truly an experience I wouldn’t have changed one thing about. (Even though it’s not expected don’t forget to tip!! It is well deserved)

Great experience - You have many levels of how to enjoy the hot springs. From taking it easy at the lower springs that was an easy walk from the car or hiking to the more secluded one. Our guide also gave us privacy as well and if we needed help they were in shouting distance.
