Salt stings the air and the marina hums with engines and conversation as the only full clear-hull boat in Cabo slips free of the dock. From a seat over transparent hull glass you watch water move beneath your feet — the Pacific folds into the Sea of Cortez like two different colors of paint brushing together. In 45 minutes, the boat threads a short, sharp route: El Arco (the Arch), the Sea Lion colony, Pelican Rock, the twin beaches of Lovers and Divorce, and the jagged meeting point locals call the Last Stone Formation.

Adventure Tips

Arrive early for check-in

Check in at EnvaTours 30 minutes before departure to avoid forfeiting your booking; the operator enforces a strict no-refund policy for late arrivals.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

The clear hull and reflective water increase sun exposure—use reef-safe sunscreen and reapply after beach stops or splashes.

Secure cameras and phones

Phones are welcome for unlimited photos but tether devices; the boat’s clear hull invites leaning and sudden sprays.

Consider a water taxi extension

Ask about taking a water taxi from Lovers Beach if you want to stay ashore longer—otherwise the tour will only pass by.
