★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 582 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $79

Set out from Cabo San Lucas on a shared 3.5-hour cruise past the Arch and along the coast to Santa Maria Bay.

Expect a social boat, not a private charter, and an offshore swim stop rather than a walk onto the beach.

“Absolutely wonderful experience! The staff was interactive and attentive. They were our paparazzi and took any photos we asked for. The ride was smooth and exactly as was explained as we boarded the boat. Lunch was delicious- two varieties of sandwiches, guacamole, pico, tuna salad with corn, chips, fruit, pound cake. Drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) were constantly flowing. Highly recommend this many and trip- they delivered everything noted and more!”
