Few places in Mexico are as popular for snorkeling as Cabo San Lucas. Situated at Land's End of Baja California, this region is surrounded by clean, clear water and offers an abundance of marine and sea life. This unique Eco-tour offers the opportunity to experience this natural beauty.
You'll be met at the pier by a certified diver who will provide a brief safety orientation and fit you with a snorkel, mask and fins. You'll then be instructed on the proper use of the equipment and techniques to enjoy your snorkeling trip.
Stepping aboard an open-air zodiac, leave Cabo San Lucas to begin an approximate 30- minute ride along the rugged Baja coastline. As you make your way to your first snorkeling location, an experienced Eco-guide will explain the natural and historical features of this area.
This tour provides you with time to snorkel in two separate locations at Santa Maria Bay and Chileno Bay (or similar), where you'll encounter beautiful fish, multicolored coral reefs and rocky outcrops. A complimentary non-alcoholic beverage will be served to all guests at the end of the snorkeling portion of the tour.
Your tour concludes with an approximate 30-minute ride back to the pier in Cabo San Lucas, where you may stroll through the city or return via tender to the ship.

When you combine the Land's End Boat Tour with a drive to "Giorgio's," you'll have seen Cabo San Lucas' major natural attractions from both sea and land.
Your tour begins with an approximate 40-minute boat ride, complete with informative recorded commentary by J.M. Cousteau, out to Los Arcos. During your ride see the rock formations of Land's End as well as the little coves and hotels that line the beach. From this vantage point you may also observe some of the colorful wildlife that inhabits the coastal waters.
Returning to shore, you'll be escorted to waiting vehicles for a short non-guided drive through town to "Giorgio's Restaurant." Located atop the cliffs at the far end of the bay provides a view of the famed arches of Los Arcos and your ship at anchor in the Bay of Cabo San Lucas. During your stop, a complimentary beer or soda will be served and you'll have time to take photographs of the sights.

Cruise into the waters of Los Cabos to search for some of the world's largest marine mammals, the Humpback and Gray Whale. From mid December to the end of March, these incredible creatures use this area as the birthing and nursing home for their young.
You'll travel in comfort aboard a specially designed vessel which offers guests of all ages the opportunity to enjoy this trip. While your experienced Captain searches the waters on the Pacific Ocean side of Land's End, a Sea World trained speaker will provide information on the interesting migratory habits and the lives of these mighty creatures. Once spotted, your boat will be positioned at a safe distance so that you can view and photograph the whales while not disturbing them.
This tour is seasonal and only operates during whale season in Cabo San Lucas, which on average, is from mid December through the end of March. The likelihood of seeing whales on this tour is good, but sightings are not guaranteed. Guests who are susceptible to seasickness should take precautions before boarding the boat. Sunglasses and hats are recommended.

The rugged coastline, crystal blue water and diverse marine life make Cabo San Lucas Bay an ideal place to learn and experience sea kayaking. It's a short paddle to the magnificent Los Arcos: a natural rock monument that rises sharply out of the sea at Land's End. Together with pristine beaches, these towering rock formations offer a memorable sightseeing experience by kayak.
A water taxi will transport you from the tender pier to Medano Beach where it is a short walk to the kayak shop. Here your tour guide offers instructions in kayaking and will brief you about the underwater life, ecology and major points of interest in the area, including some of the early history of Baja California. You'll also receive snorkeling gear, instructions and a bottle of water for the trip.
Your approximate 2-hour, guided paddling adventure aboard two-person sit-on-top kayaks will take you across San Lucas Bay, past Pelican Rock, and around Los Arcos. You'll also stop for snorkeling or beaching on the famous Lover's Beach, which is only accessible by water and one of the few beaches in the world that actually joins two seas: the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean.
After your paddle back to Medano Beach, return to the main tender pier by water taxis or you may choose to walk 20 minutes directly into downtown Cabo San Lucas.
