Our verdict

This tour fits a typical Cabo San Lucas call (8:00 am–3:30 pm). It runs 3 h 30 min; ashore by 8:45 am, you can start by 9:00 am and be back at the gangway around 12:45 pm — 1 h 15 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 2:15 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 400 Cabo San Lucas shore excursions we track, this is about average in length (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.

Immerse yourself in an underwater world and swim with the tropical marine life found in Cabo. This tour will take you across the Sea of Cortez to two of the world’s best snorkeling sites: Chileno Bay and Santa Maria Beach.
