The Experience

You arrive at Marina Cabo San Lucas and board your own boat — no shared departures, no other groups. The catamaran heads into the bay where you'll pass the Arch, Neptune's Finger and the sea lion colony, with time to stop for photos or simply take in the water. The guide navigates; you decide when to move on. Snorkeling gear and life jackets are ready, and the reefs near Pelican Rock hold colorful fish in clear water, but you're not locked into a schedule — float on the devices provided, swim at your own pace, or stay on the beach at Lovers if that's where the afternoon goes.

The boat carries everything you need: snorkeling equipment, life jackets, soft drinks and bottled water. The 3.5-hour window is long enough to hit the landmarks and the reefs without rushing, and short enough to fit a free afternoon or a morning into your day. A live English-speaking guide is with you the whole time, and the flotation devices mean anyone who wants to rest in the water can do that without effort.

Dock fees are covered. Bring a bathing suit and sun protection. The boat is wheelchair accessible, and infants or small children can come along — families with all ages and fitness levels use this regularly. Transportation to the marina is on you, but public transit options are nearby if you're staying in town.

Top questions

What's actually at Pelican Rock that makes it worth snorkeling there?

Pelican Rock holds vibrant reefs with colorful fish in clear water. The snorkeling gear is included, and you can stay in the water as long as you want or head back to the boat whenever you're ready.

Can we really set our own schedule, or is there a fixed route we have to follow?

You set the pace. The guide knows the bay and the landmarks — the Arch, Lovers Beach, the sea lion colony — but you decide which stops matter to you and how long to stay at each one. No fixed itinerary means no rushing.

What happens if someone in our group doesn't want to snorkel?

Snorkeling is optional. You can float on the provided devices, swim, relax on the beach at Lovers, or stay on the boat. The day shapes around what your group actually wants to do.

Is this boat big enough for six people, or does it feel crowded?

The catamaran is designed for up to six guests, and it's your private boat — no strangers sharing the space. The size keeps the group small and the boat nimble enough to reach the reefs and the beach.

How long is the whole thing, and can we fit it into a half day?

The outing runs 3.5 hours, which fits a free afternoon or a morning. You'll have time to see the Arch, visit Lovers Beach, snorkel near Pelican Rock and float or swim without feeling rushed.

What do we need to bring, and what's already on the boat?

Bring a bathing suit and sun protection. The boat provides snorkeling gear, life jackets, soft drinks, bottled water and flotation devices. Dock fees are included in the price.
