Our verdict
This tour fits a typical Cabo San Lucas call (8:00 am–3:30 pm). It runs 1 h; ashore by 8:45 am, you can start by 8:53 am and be back at the gangway around 10:01 am — 3 h 59 min to spare on top of a 1 h safety margin.
Rule of thumb: it keeps the safety margin as long as all aboard is 11:31 am or later. Even a short 7:00 am–2:00 pm call works.
The meeting point is at the cruise pier or a short walk from it — the operator's own directions are written from Cabo San Lucas Marina tender pier. We allow 8 min to walk off and find them; usually no taxi and no transfer eating into your day.
Among the 397 Cabo San Lucas shore excursions we track, this is one of the shorter ones (the median runs 2 h 45 min); 86% of them fit a typical call. Cabo San Lucas is a tender port: we add 45 minutes to get ashore and keep you back 30 minutes before all aboard for the last tender.
Computed from the tour's published duration, the distance from the cruise pier to its start point and the typical Cabo San Lucas call. Adjust your ship's times above to recheck.
