Well organised, easy to find and very friendly. Crew made it fun from the minute we hopped onboard. The snorkelling equipment was good and the marine life in Santa Maria was like being in a fish tank. Lunch was very good and the drinks were constant. Would highly recommend this tour.

Cabo San Lucas and Santa Maria Bay Snorkeling Sightseeing Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cabo San Lucas.
How much does Cabo San Lucas and Santa Maria Bay Snorkeling Sightseeing Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cabo San Lucas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cabo San Lucas and Santa Maria Bay Snorkeling Sightseeing Cruise take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cabo San Lucas is not rushed.
Is Cabo San Lucas and Santa Maria Bay Snorkeling Sightseeing Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 596 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Cabo San Lucas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cabo San Lucas and Santa Maria Bay Snorkeling Sightseeing Cruise?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cabo San Lucas and Santa Maria Bay Snorkeling Sightseeing Cruise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cabo San Lucas and Santa Maria Bay Snorkeling Sightseeing Cruise?
+
Around 209 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cabo San Lucas can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cabo San Lucas and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cabo San Lucas and Santa Maria Bay Snorkeling Sightseeing Cruise start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cabo San Lucas within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cabo San Lucas?
+
On Outty we rank every Cabo San Lucas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cabo San Lucas Mexican Cooking Class Experience and Local Markets, Cabo Beach Camel Ride, Mexican Buffet and Tequila Tasting, Cabo Whale Watching: Female Crew, Guaranteed Sightings, Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cabo San Lucas?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cabo San Lucas?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Cabo San Lucas and Santa Maria Bay Snorkeling Sightseeing Cruise?
+
Included: Rinse-off hose; Floating Water Mat (ideal ocean conditions required); Snorkeling gear (masks, tubes, fins, lifejackets); Open bar (alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages); and Lunch. Not included: GRATUITY - PLEASE BRING CASH; THIS IS A SHARED TOUR (NOT PRIVATE); and Government fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
