The experience
The day starts on land. You walk through Cabo San Lucas to the glass blowing factory, where artisans shape molten glass into finished pieces, then move to a tequila tasting where you sample local spirits. Shopping time and panoramic views of the town round out the morning before you head to the cruise departure.
Once aboard, the boat takes you out to see the Arch of Cabo San Lucas, the rock formation that marks the meeting of the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez: a stop built in for photos and the view itself. The cruise then moves to Santa Maria Bay, where you enter the water with provided snorkeling equipment to explore the bay's marine life. This is the core of the day: the time you spend underwater is unguided, though the crew is present on the boat.
On the return to Cabo, a buffet meal and drinks are served aboard as you travel back along the coast. The whole outing runs about seven hours from start to finish, with the boat portion taking up the afternoon half of the day.
