Perfect for maximizing your time without choosing between land and sea.

This is a great combo of a Cabo San Lucas city Tour and a Snorkel Catamaran Boat Tour all in one day with open Bar, Lunch and Entertainment. Great Value.

Insider tips

★Arrive early at the marina to secure a good spot on the catamaran and avoid mid-day crowds
★Bring reef-safe sunscreen—the snorkeling sites are shallow and sunny, and local reefs are protected
★The shopping district near the marina (Marina Boulevard) has better prices and authentic goods than resort boutiques; browse there during your city tour time
★Sea conditions are calmest in the morning; if you're prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding

our guide Raj had so many stories and a stingray half-buried in the sand was the highlight ... For our anniversary so it wasnt too busy. Perfect for first-timers, and water was like 28 degrees, and saw turtles and 20+ fish easy. Would book again no question.
