Cabo Escape Snorkel Cruise: Land's End, Chileno Bay & Open-Bar Boat Tour
Select participants and date
You step off the marina jetty as if stepping into a postcard—sunlight split across the Sea of Cortez, gulls arguing over the wake. The boat slides free from Cabo San Lucas Marina and fixes its gaze on Land’s End: the Arch rising from the water like a carved doorway to the Pacific. Pelican Rock skims past, a compact cliff of birds and spiky basalt; behind it, Lovers Beach presses white sand against a sparing line of scrub. The captain eases the throttle, and the sea takes over, pushing the tour toward Chileno Bay where visibility and species richness turn snorkeling into something like a private performance.
