  • Pass Cabo's main swimming beach

The Experience

The boat leaves from near Medano Beach, Cabo's main swimming beach, and heads straight toward the Arch of Cabo San Lucas — the massive rock formation that marks where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. The 2-hour sail passes the sea lion colony clinging to the rocks, then swings past Lover's Beach, a narrow strip of white sand wedged between towering formations that you can only reach by water. As the sun drops, the light turns the water copper and the rock faces glow. The whole route stays close enough to see detail: the resort lights beginning to flicker on along Medano, the birds working the shallows, the way the Arch changes shape as you move around it.

Snacks and drinks flow the whole time — bottled water, beer, wine and soft drinks are unlimited, and the crew keeps them coming. The guide narrates in English or Spanish, depending on the boat you book. National Park fees are already paid, so there's nothing to settle at the dock. Families bring kids; infants sit on a lap and ride free. The boat rocks gently in the protected waters, but if you have heart or circulation concerns, check with your doctor first.

You'll need to get yourself to the departure point — there's no hotel pickup included, but public transport runs near Medano Beach and most central hotels are a short taxi ride away. Three different boats run the same route, so you pick one at checkout. Bring sunscreen and a light layer; the wind picks up once you're on the water, and the sun reflects hard off the sea.

Top questions

What exactly is the Arch of Cabo San Lucas and why does the cruise sail past it?

The Arch of Cabo San Lucas is the iconic rock formation at the tip of the peninsula where the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez meet. It's the most photographed landmark in Cabo, and the cruise passes close enough to see the sea lion colony living on the rocks and the way the water changes color on either side of the point.

Is hotel pickup included, or do I need to arrange my own way to the boat?

Hotel pickup is not included. You arrange your own transport to the departure point near Medano Beach; public transportation options are available nearby, and most hotels can arrange a taxi.

What drinks and food come with the cruise?

Unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks are included throughout the 2 hours, along with snacks. If you have dietary requirements or need a vegetarian option, let the operator know when you book.

Can I bring my young children or baby on this cruise?

Yes — it's a family-friendly tour. Infants sit on an adult's lap and ride free. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Strollers and prams are allowed if you need them to get to the boat.

How rough is the water, and is this safe for someone with heart or circulation problems?

The cruise stays in protected waters and the boat rocks gently, but it's not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. If you have any concerns, check with your doctor before booking.
