Our verdict

Too long for a typical Cabo San Lucas call (8:00 am–3:30 pm). At up to 12 h plus travel from Cabo San Lucas Marina tender pier, the earliest you could be back is about 9:05 pm, after all aboard. It only works on a long call — your ship would need to stay until at least 10:35 pm.

The operator picks up at the cruise port (it is on their pickup list), so the trip to the start point is part of the tour. We allow 10 min to walk off and find the pickup; look for the ground-transportation area outside Cabo San Lucas Marina tender pier.

Among the 400 Cabo San Lucas shore excursions we track, this is one of the longer ones (the median runs 3 h); 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.
