The experience

You show up at El Medano Beach with a 110 HP Yamaha jet ski waiting: a 2020-2022 model built for speed and control. The guide fits you with a life jacket, walks you through the basics, and you're on the water for a full 60 minutes. One or two people ride each ski, so you can go solo or bring a passenger. The bay opens up in front of you with coastal views the whole way, and the water here is plentiful with marine life. In winter months, humpback whales pass through these same waters.

The ride stays close to the Arch of Cabo San Lucas, the landmark that marks where the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez meet. A guide stays with you throughout, communicating in English or Spanish. The jet ski handles the swells and the open water, and the 60 minutes gives you time to find your rhythm and push the machine without rushing back to shore.
