The experience
The boat leaves the dock at 1:00 PM and heads straight to Pelican Rock, where you'll see rock formations rising from the Sea of Cortez and have time to photograph them from the deck. Next is Lovers Beach, Playa del Amor, at Land's End, where the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez meet on opposite sides of the sand. The crew gives you space to shoot photos before moving on to the Arch, the limestone formation at Cabo's southern tip that locals call El Arco. All three stops are built into the route so you're not choosing between them.
Santa Maria Bay is where the snorkeling happens. Once the trimaran anchors, the crew sets you up with a mask, fins, lifejacket and snorkel tube, then you're in the water looking at tropical fish. Paddleboards and a floating water mat are on board if conditions allow, and both are included. The water clarity and marine life shift with the season and the weather, so what you see depends on the day you go: the crew adjusts locations if needed to keep you safe and give you the best shot.
Between the snorkeling and the sightseeing, you're eating and drinking. Lunch is freshly prepared baguettes with turkey, cheese and vegetables, plus appetizers of guacamole, salsa, tuna salad, chips and fruit. The open bar runs the whole cruise: beer, wine, spirits and nonalcoholic drinks, all included. A Bluetooth sound system plays in the background, and the crew handles the VIP service from the moment you board. The boat has a wide deck and large front nets where you can lounge between stops.
Is this one for you?The 3-hour cruise moves between four stops without long waits between them, so you're snorkeling, sightseeing and eating without gaps in the day. Book this if you want the Arch, Lovers Beach and Santa Maria Bay in one outing without renting a boat or organizing the stops yourself.
