Snorkeling in Cabo: Catamaran with Paddleboarding & Lunch

Two snorkel spots and a paddleboard in your hands, lunch and drinks waiting on deck

This half-day snorkeling activity in Cabo combines two separate bay locations with stand-up paddleboarding, lunch and an open bar aboard a motor catamaran. You board at the marina, cruise past the Arch and Land's End with a photo stop at the Sea lion colony, then anchor in a secluded bay to snorkel and paddleboard. After lunch and drinks onboard, you return to a second, calmer snorkel site before heading back. The activity runs four hours total, includes all snorkeling gear and paddleboards, and pickup from your hotel is arranged.

The experience

The catamaran leaves the marina and heads out along the coastline, passing the famous Arch and Land's End on the way to a secluded bay in the Sea of Cortes. Once anchored, you're free to snorkel in the water searching for bright-colored fish and corals, or grab a stand-up paddleboard and explore the bay from the surface. The crew stays onboard and ready. You choose how to spend the time in the water.

Back on deck, a freshly prepared lunch arrives: fresh fruit, made-to-order sandwiches with salad, and the famous homemade guacamole prepared onboard. The open bar runs the whole time you're eating and relaxing, with beers, wines, spirits, sodas, juices and water all included. If you want a second snorkel, the boat heads to a more relaxing location. If you'd rather stay on deck, the crew keeps the drinks coming as you cruise back to the marina.

Pickup from your hotel is included and arranged before the tour starts: click the operator button on your booking to confirm the time and location. All snorkeling equipment and paddleboards come with the activity. The whole outing runs four hours, and children from age 5 are welcome. Vegetarian lunch options are available if you let the operator know when you book.
