Has anyone done the Camel Ride Excursion in Cabo?

Since the snorkeling doesn’t look like it will be very good I have a new question.  Has anyone done the camel tour in Cabo?

We are going to be two days in Cabo in February, would like to go snorkeling, but read the water is 71degrees. 🥶 There are three of us. We aren’t really shoppers and not into horseback riding, or cooking classes. Any suggestions?  Cruise tours or self guided exploration? Safety?

Should we exchange our dollars to pesos at home at local bank or at cruise port? Are there fees? Which way is best and why? Thanks for your help.:)

We got there about 10:30 am. We took the bus and walked to the Bar and were able to get good seats right at the railing. We enjoyed drinks while waiting for planes. Try the guavaberry frozen drink, yum! Yes, you can swim there and we saw snorkelers there. There is a surfboard that has a chalkboard on it w/the flights and times. We were told and experienced that at first will be the smaller planes, and by 12:30 the larger planes were coming in. We were told that the bigger planes come in the afternoon, because they come from Europe. Re: heading back to the ship, just allow enough time, as the traffic can cause a delay. Don't know if the bus goes back to the port. Ours let us off in town and then we caught the water taxi back; we got a rt ticket in the a.m.

If your plan is to get to Maho to watch the planes, then the BEST approach would be to catch a taxi from the dispatch area at the Cruise Facility.

$18 total to zip the two of you to Maho, or less if there are other people to share the ride. Should be the same price on the return. Taxis may not be waiting on your return, but your friendly local Maho beach bar (I would highly recommend Guy's) should be able to call one for you. If not, a quick walk out to the nearby hotels will find you one. Taxi would return you to the Cruise Facility.

 

If you want to try to save a few bucks, then the bus is an option. Take a taxi or the Water Taxi to downtown Philipsburg. Should be $3 for a taxi (each way) per person or $4 for the Water Taxi ($6 round trip). You should be able to walk it in 20 minutes or so, if so inclined.

Then find Back Street. It's the next one over from Front Street, which is the one with all the jewelry stores. I would look behind the Court House for a sign labeled Bus Halte. That's where you will find the $2 bus. Look for a bus with a 'Maho' or 'Mullet Bay' or 'M'Bay' sign in the window.

 

Tell the driver Maho Beach and you pay when you get off. You'll get back on the return bus on the other side of the street from where you got off. There will be a bus by shortly, though there is no schedule as they are independent operators. The bus will drop you in Philipsburg, without an option to continue to the Cruise Facility, another $3 pp by taxi or your return ticket (wristband) on the Water Taxi.

I know it's been awhile, but thank you for the excellent directions for taking the bus and the options getting to the bus stop. Thank You:)

We have tried to contact Levi Baron at his e-mail and Bumpiing Tours through the website e-mail. We have tried 4 different times w/out any response. Any suggestions? Thank you

We too are trying to decide between Levi w/Bumpiing or Reyno Tours. We noticed that neither post rates. Also, Reyno Tours website shows only 40 minutes at Trafalgar Falls. Question...We read on this thread dated Aug 21 by busybusy23 that it is better to enjoy the sulfur water at Trafalgar Falls rather than Screws Spa. However w/only 40 minutes, does that give us much time there? Is there a long hike to the Falls? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
