The experience
The boat is yours alone: no other groups, no shared schedule. You pick the pace and the guide adjusts to what your group wants to do. The catamaran heads out to Lover's Beach first, a secluded cove accessible only by water and ringed by dramatic rock formations. From there the route moves to Santa Maria Bay and Pelican Rock, where the snorkeling is strongest. The water here is clear enough to see the reef structure and the fish moving through it. The final stop is the Arch of Cabo San Lucas, a 3-story granite formation at Land's End where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific. It frames the boat for photos and marks the tip of the peninsula.
Unlimited drinks and snacks stay available throughout, so you're not managing thirst or hunger between stops. A live guide in English or Spanish narrates what you're seeing and can point out where the sea lions gather. The whole outing runs between 2 and 3 hours, which is long enough to spend real time in the water at each spot without the day stretching into fatigue. Infants can come along, they ride on an adult's lap, and the boat itself requires only that your group has moderate fitness to get in and out of the water.
You'll need to arrange your own way to the departure point. The boat does not include hotel pickup. Gratuities are handled separately at the end. The catamaran accommodates groups of 1 to 20 people, and the price shifts with group size: smaller groups pay more per person, larger ones spread the cost. Book the option that matches your headcount at checkout.
Is this one for you?Book the option matching your group size: smaller groups (1–10) work best if you want the most intimate experience, while larger groups (11–20) spread the per-person cost and still keep the boat private to you alone. The 2 to 3 hour duration fits a morning or afternoon without eating into the rest of your day.

Top questions
What languages is the tour guided in?
Live guide in English and Spanish.
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. No refund if you cancel.
What's the snorkeling actually like at Pelican Rock and the Arch?
Pelican Rock is the strongest snorkeling stop on the route. The reef structure is visible and the fish are active in the water. The Arch is primarily a photo and viewing point rather than a snorkeling site. You'll see it from the boat and the water around it, but the main snorkeling happens at Pelican Rock and Santa Maria Bay.
Can I bring infants or very small children?
Infants and small children can ride along: infants must sit on an adult's lap during the cruise. The boat is stable and the ride is smooth, so young children generally do fine, though they won't be snorkeling themselves.
Do I need snorkeling experience to join?
No prior experience is required. You need a moderate level of physical fitness to get in and out of the water, but the guide will show you how to use the equipment and can adjust the stops to match your comfort level.
How do I get to the boat, and what time does it leave?
The catamaran departs from Cabo San Lucas, but hotel pickup is not included. You'll arrange your own transportation to the departure point. Specific departure times are confirmed when you book.
What's included in the unlimited drinks?
Unlimited drinks means beer, soft drinks and water throughout the cruise. Bottled water and snacks are also provided, so you have food and hydration covered for the entire 2 to 3 hours on the water.
Is this tour crowded, or will it really be just my group?
The boat is private to your group only: no other parties join you. Whether your group is 1 person or 20, you have the catamaran to yourselves for the entire cruise.
