★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 464 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $110

Sail from Cabo San Lucas Marina toward Land’s End on a spacious, wheelchair-friendly boat. You’ll pass El Arco, Lover’s Beach, sea lions, and Pedregal villas while enjoying a Mexican buffet, domestic open bar, music, and sunset views. Rod and the crew keep the evening lively.

“This IS NOT a dinner cruise. The food was disgusting and the "buffet" was only available during a limited time with VERY limited options. I've had better mexican food in my high school cafeteria. The drinks were so watered down we only opted for one. The first half of the cruise is pretty boring and "famous" arch was quite underwhelming. At one point another rider yelled out "Where's the music?" It did get a little better later with some music. We did get to see some whale action, though the crew can't control that. But you skip this and just do a whale watching tour for less.”

“This is my 4th time in Cabo and have taken quite a few excursions along the way. For me, I could have skipped both the shopping and the jewelry stop and took more time than needed. The cruise was ok…by the time it left the Dock, you are only out for 1.5 hours around looking at the Arch. The DJ Music was danceable but the food buffet was limited time. So no 2nds. For the cost….the value was not there for me. I’m”

“This was a wonderful experience! We cruised the bay and went over to the pacific to see the Arch, Lands end and a beautiful sunset. Everyone was very comfortable in the front of the boat with cushions and pillows, and a huge pad to sit on. The view was great no matter where you sat. The team came by asking for drink orders and passing out charcuterie boards for appetizers. Then they brought out bruschetta too. We were called to the table and dined on filet mignon and shrimp, and roasted veggies. The dessert was a little disappointing, it was a small sized and everyone got only one bite of…”
