Perfect sunset cruise to end our honeymoon!
This was one of the highlights of our trip. The crew is great! We did a private sunset cruise and got snacks, drinks, our pictures taken and even saw whales. I highly recommend.

Awesome Sunset Cruise
We had an awesome Sunset Private Cruise. The boat was very clean and Roland and his captain were very knowledgeable of the sea. We enjoyed a glass of wine, cheese and crackers while enjoying seeing the Mobula Rays and one whale with her baby (end of whale season so we only saw 1). The tour took us from the San Jose Marina to Pamilla, the ride was 2 hours which was just right to see the sunset. A peaceful evening ride.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure having you on board for the sunset cruise. I'm glad you enjoyed the peaceful ride, the wine and cheese, and of course, the incredible sightings of the Mobula Rays and the whale with her baby—what a special moment! We always aim to provide a relaxing and memorable experience, and I'm happy to hear it was just right for you. Hope to welcome you back again soon for another adventure on the water! Warm regards, Roland

Response from the operator: Hi Elizabeth, It sounds like you had an amazing experience on the Private Sunset Boat Tour in San Jose del Cabo! It's great to hear you had the chance to see humpback whales up close and learn from a knowledgeable guide like Paola. The combination of a beautiful sunset and wildlife encounters must have made for an unforgettable experience. Thank you for sharing your review!

Private Sunset Boat Tour in San Jose del Cabo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Jose del Cabo.
How much does Private Sunset Boat Tour in San Jose del Cabo cost?
+
Prices start at $225 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Jose del Cabo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Sunset Boat Tour in San Jose del Cabo take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 San Jose del Cabo is not rushed.
Is Private Sunset Boat Tour in San Jose del Cabo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 41 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Jose del Cabo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Sunset Boat Tour in San Jose del Cabo?
+
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 Private Sunset Boat Tour in San Jose del Cabo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Sunset Boat Tour in San Jose del Cabo?
+
Around 14 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 San Jose del Cabo 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 San Jose del Cabo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Sunset Boat Tour in San Jose del Cabo 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 San Jose del Cabo 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 San Jose del Cabo?
+
On Outty we rank every San Jose del Cabo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cabo Electric Bike Beach Adventure with Margaritas and Lunch, Cabo 4x4 ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch, La Paz Whale Shark Snorkeling Tour and Lunch From Los Cabos. 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 San Jose del Cabo?
+
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 San Jose del Cabo?
+
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 Private Sunset Boat Tour in San Jose del Cabo?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Private Sunset Boat Tour in San Jose del Cabo?
+
IMPORTANT: Check your arrival time. We’ll send the exact meeting time the day before, as sunset times change. We’re at Puerto Los Cabos Marina. Follow signs to Hotel El Ganzo, pass OXXO. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Private Sunset Boat Tour in San Jose del Cabo offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
