Do Cabo Your Way

The best views aren't always above the water.

The experience

Get in the water. See what happens.

One minute you're looking out at Cabo's coastline. The next, you're floating over rocks and reef, watching fish move through the water below you.

Some outings are short, simple introductions near Land's End. Others turn snorkeling into a bigger day with boat rides, beaches, paddleboards, or a private crew. The right one depends on what you want the day to feel like.

That's where we come in. We'll help you compare the experience, not just the price.

Find your kind of day

Four ways to explore beneath the surface.

These are different experiences — not four versions of the same tour.

01 / THE QUICK ESCAPE

Land's End Snorkel Adventure

A shorter guided outing from the Cabo San Lucas marina toward Pelican Rock, with snorkeling and views of Land's End.

About 1.5 hours · Cabo Expeditions · Ages 5+
Best for: Visitors who want a focused snorkeling experience without committing half the day.
02 / KEEP IT BEACHY

Beach Snorkel & Rental

A shore-based option at the Hilton-area beach, with snorkel gear and a more flexible, beach-day feel. Confirm guided activity details before booking.

$22 USD / advertised rental
Wild Canyon · Transport available at extra cost
Best for: People who want snorkeling as part of a relaxed beach day rather than a boat excursion.
03 / MORE THAN SNORKELING

From $69.29 USD / guest

Before you dive in

A few things worth knowing.

Every operator sets its own age, swimming, health, weight and weather requirements. We won't pretend they're all the same.

For example, the Cabo Expeditions Land's End tour specifically requires participants to know how to swim, while the Cabo Adventures tour lists a minimum age of 5 and a 265 lb maximum weight.

Bring the basics

  • Swimsuit and towel
  • Sun protection and biodegradable sunscreen
  • Change of clothes
  • Non-slip footwear where recommended
  • Waterproof camera, if you have one
  • Money for any dock fees, extras or gratuities

Pregnancy, back/neck or heart conditions and mobility limitations can affect eligibility. Ask us before booking if you're unsure.

The details matter

What's included — and what isn't?

Snorkel gear and guides are included on the guided tours shown, but transportation and marina fees aren't necessarily included. The private trip has its own tax and gratuity structure.

We'll help make the actual total clear before you commit.

Operator-specific details to confirm

  • Cabo Expeditions: $5 USD dock fee paid in cash at check-in; guided equipment and water included.
  • Cabo Adventures: $4 USD dock fee and optional $15 USD round-trip transportation per traveler, per supplied screenshots.
  • Wild Canyon Beach: transportation is available for purchase; exact tour-versus-rental inclusions need confirmation.
  • Wild Canyon Private: listed price is for four guests; extra guests $125 each and additional hours $280 each, with 16% tax and 10% gratuity shown separately.
The WDCF Take

Don't just pick a snorkeling tour. Pick your kind of water day.

A couple that wants a quiet hour in the water isn't looking for the same thing as a family that wants kayaks, a speedboat and an afternoon of adventure.

And a group that wants its own boat shouldn't have to sort through every shared tour in Cabo to find it.

Tell us who's going, how much time you have, and what sounds fun. We'll help connect the dots.

Need a hand?

Let's find your Cabo below the surface.

Quick snorkel? Beach day? Full-on sea adventure? Private boat? We know they're different — and that's the point.
