Begin your adventure at the Puerto Los Cabos Marina in San José del Cabo, a picturesque harbour framed by golden beaches and the dramatic Sierra de la Laguna mountains in the distance. Meet your certified guide and friendly crew, and get all the equipment you need: mask, snorkel, fins, and a wetsuit for comfort.
As the boat departs, the coastal views unfold: desert landscapes blending into the ocean, pelicans diving for fish, and perhaps the first glimpse of dolphins playing in your wake. From November to April, you might even spot whales migrating through these waters, their massive tails breaking the surface in a display of raw power.
Enjoy two distinct snorkelling immersions, carefully chosen by your guides depending on the season and conditions. Each site has its own personality:
• Shallow Coral Reefs – Perfect for beginners and enthusiasts alike, these areas are bursting with colour. Schools of sergeant majors, angelfish, and butterflyfish swirl in synchronised patterns while the sunlight dances across corals.
• Deeper Reefs and Rock Formations – Here, larger animals make their appearance. Keep your eyes open for eagle rays gliding silently across the sandy bottom, curious reef sharks weaving between rocks, and sea turtles swimming with effortless grace.
With visibility often exceeding 20 metres, the Sea of Cortez reveals its secrets in incredible detail. Your guides are passionate naturalists who share stories about each species you encounter: why the parrotfish is essential for reef health, how sea turtles return to Baja to nest, or how moray eels hunt at night.
Between your snorkelling sessions, relax aboard the spacious boat. Take in the desert-meets-ocean scenery, enjoy refreshing snacks and drinks, and share stories with fellow explorers. The groups are intentionally small, so the atmosphere feels personal and friendly—more like joining friends on an adventure than being part of a crowded tour.
