Cabo San Lucas: Jet Ski & Fast Boat Tour Sea of Cortez

Summary

Jet skis, fast boats and wild sea air in Cabo’s blue

You’ll jump straight into Cabo’s wild side with this guided double jet ski & fast boat ride in the Sea of Cortez. Snap photos at Land’s End, zip past luxury homes with your local guide leading the way, and maybe spot dolphins or whales if luck’s on your side. Finish with snacks back at the marina — and probably a grin stuck on your face for hours.

What’s the experience like?

We met our guide right at the Los Cabos marina — he had that sun-creased smile you only get from living by the water. I didn’t really know what to expect from a double jet ski tour in the Sea of Cortez (I’d only seen them from shore before), but as soon as we climbed into the inflatable boat and zipped past those giant yachts, it hit me: this was going to be loud, salty, and way more fun than I’d pictured. The arch at Land’s End looked almost unreal up close. Our captain slowed down so everyone could grab photos — someone shouted “¡Mira!” when a pelican swooped by. There was this smell of sunscreen and seaweed everywhere. I liked it.

Switching over to the jet skis felt like some weird relay race. They gave us a safety talk (I zoned out for a second when he mentioned whales — apparently you can spot them in winter?), then we were off, following our guide along the rocky Cabo coastline. It’s wild how close you get to those fancy resorts and private homes — I tried guessing who might live there but honestly got distracted by how choppy the water was. My hands went numb gripping the handlebars at first, but after a few minutes it just felt like flying. We kept radio contact with our guide; he pointed out dolphins once, but they disappeared before I could see them. Still cool though.

The open ocean part was something else — wind smacking my face, salt on my lips, that kind of nervous excitement when you realize you’re actually far from shore now. My friend yelled something over the engine noise (no clue what), and we both just started laughing for no reason at all. When we finally circled back to the boat, I felt half-exhausted and half-hyped up. Back at the marina there were cold drinks and snacks waiting — nothing fancy but honestly perfect after all that adrenaline. The sun was already dipping behind some clouds by then. I keep thinking about that feeling of being out there with nothing but water around you — it sticks with you longer than you’d think.
