Sunset Dinner Cruise in Cabo San Lucas

14.Sunset Dinner Cruise in Cabo San Lucas

★★★★★★★★★★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.”
