We also have life jackets available if you need them! Like on all our tours you’ll be guided by one of our professional marine biologists, that will not only make it fun and safe, but also a very informative experience.

bay of Cabo San Lucas is our most popular snorkeling destination – located only 5 minutes from the marina is a perfect destination if you want to have a shorter 2-hour trip. We will show you our amazing rocky landscape, you will get a chance to have a photo with the famous arch and finally – to see some stunning underwater life. At Pelican rock you will be sure to admire many different species of colorful fish, including angel fishes, puffers, pork fish, vivid parrot fishes, Mexican goat fishes and way more! Moreover, you can cross your fingers for spotting some eels, lobster or octopus hiding between the rocks. If we get lucky we may see some guitar fish, some curious sea lions or even big groups of rays.
