Select participants and date
The outboard thrum eases as the boat slips past the marina mouth and the skyline of hotels drops away. Salt-slick wind tugs at your hat and the granite ribs of Land's End loom into view: the Arch cuts a bold silhouette where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific. In three hours you move through a compact loop of the bay—Lover's Beach, Pelican Rock, The Arch and the sea lion colony—each stop a different mood of water and stone.

Adventure Tips
Arrive at the main dock early
The boat departs from the Marina main dock next to the marine base—plan 15–20 minutes early to check in and stash gear.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before boarding to protect local corals and marine life.
Prepare for seasickness
Take anti-nausea medication at least 30 minutes before departure if you get motion sick; morning departures are calmer.
Give wildlife space
Do not touch or feed sea lions and avoid standing on or touching coral—your safety and reef health depend on it.
