Our verdict

This tour fits a typical Cabo San Lucas call (8:00 am–3:30 pm). It runs 2 h; ashore by 8:45 am, you can start by 9:00 am and be back at the gangway around 11:15 am — 2 h 45 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 12:45 pm or later. Even a short 7:00 am–2:00 pm call works.

We don't have a verified start point for this tour yet, so we assume 15 min each way from the pier — the typical ride in Cabo San Lucas. Check the meeting point on the booking page.

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.

About this tour

After we take our water taxi at the marina, we go visit the Arch, lover,s beach, pirate cave and more rocks formations rigth at the land's end of Los Cabos. We will have time for some pictures and drinks. Then, finally, we´ll arrive to Pelican Beach for our snorkeling spot.

Your guide will be helping you with your equipment and show you a protected marine area for snorkeling. What can you expect to see; starfish, angelfish, moorish idol, seals and schools of stingrays, just to name a few!
