2-Hour Shore Excursion | Arch, Lover’s Beach & Whale Encounters

What you will do

1. 1

   Cabo San Lucas

   Your tour begins at the marina, where you’ll check in and board your whale watching boat. After a brief safety orientation, you’ll depart directly from the marina, just minutes from the cruise tender dock, making this a convenient start for cruise passengers.

2. 2

   Cruise toward El Arco, Cabo’s most famous natural landmark, located at Land’s End, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. This area is known for its dramatic rock formations, sea caves, and stunning coastal views. The boat slows for sightseeing and photos as your captain shares information about the Arch and the surrounding coastline.

3. 3

   Continue past Lover’s Beach (Playa del Amor) and nearby rocky outcrops that are often home to sea lions. This calm stretch of water offers a contrast between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez and is a favorite scenic highlight. Head into open waters where whales are commonly spotted during the season. Depending on conditions, you may see humpback or gray whales breaching, tail-slapping, or swimming near the boat. Your experienced captain adjusts the route based on whale activity for the best viewing opportunities.

4. 4

   Cabo San Lucas

   After whale watching, enjoy a relaxing return cruise along the coastline back to the marina. The tour concludes near the cruise tender dock, allowing ample time to return to your ship or continue exploring Cabo.
