Board at Cabo’s marina for a 2.5-hour marine-biologist-led excursion where dolphins, sea lions, mobula rays, and seasonal whales are the main event. Snorkel stops, Pelican Rock views, and interpretive narration make this an accessible, wildlife-focused outing.

The morning light hits the marina and a brisk sea breeze carries salt and the sound of rigging as you step aboard a low-profile boat bound for Land’s End. The water here changes character where the Pacific slams into the Sea of Cortez — currents that play tag with schools of fish and lift seabirds into sudden dives. A marine biologist joins the trip, pointing toward distant spouts or the flick of a mobula ray as the wake parts.
