Cabo Blue Trimaran Snorkel Cruise: Land’s End, El Arco, and Santa Maria Bay
Select participants and date
You step onto the Main Dock Marina with the salt already in the air and a trimaran waiting like a low-slung promise of blue. The Cabo Blue crew hands over a welcome drink, and the city’s cluster of white hotels and rust-red cliffs falls away as the boat slips past the cruise ships toward Land’s End. The Arch — carved by wind, tide and time — rises from the Sea of Cortez and seems to dare you to get closer.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The boat enforces eco-friendly sunscreen; bring a reef-safe SPF to protect coral and comply with requests.
Arrive early for check-in
Check in at 12:40pm at the Main Dock Marina—late arrivals risk missing the tender or tour departure.
Secure small cash for port fee
Bring about $1 USD or 20 MXN per person for the marina entry (cash only) to avoid delays at check-in.
Prep for seasickness if needed
Take motion-sickness medicine before boarding if you’re prone to nausea; the swell can be unpredictable.
