You push off from the marina, the city’s bright roofs shrinking as the bow cuts toward the horizon. The breath of the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez mix into a salt-sweet wind that plays with your hair and the brim of your hat. Within minutes the skyline of Cabo — the jagged granite of Land’s End and the famous El Arco — becomes a sculpted silhouette against an open blue, and the ocean begins to show its mood: glassy one minute, playful the next.

Bring motion-sickness prevention

Layer for wind and spray
A lightweight windbreaker and a sun hat protect you from spray and sun; temperatures can swing on open water.
Protect your camera and phone
Use a wrist strap and a waterproof case or dry bag — decks are wet and wildlife moments are sudden.

Blocks spray and wind on open water, keeping you warm during cooler mornings.
Motion-sickness remedy
Prevention (medication or bands) helps you enjoy the trip if you’re prone to seasickness.
Camera with 200mm zoom or telephoto lens
Captures whale blows, breaches, and distant dolphin pods without crowding the animals.
Waterproof phone case or dry bag
Protects electronics from spray, accidental drops, and the occasional splash.
