Snorkel at Pelican's Rock
Take full advantage of plunging in the waters of the Gulf in Mexico in an area that Jacques Cousteau once called the "aquarium of the world" when you snorkel at Pelican's Rock.
Your underwater adventure awaits after a short walk to the local representative's office from the Marina of Cabo San Lucas. Upon arrival, you will board your comfortable glass-bottom boat and will automatically begin to see the world that lies beneath the surface of the water. A picturesque boat trip to the well-known Arch, passing by prominent rock formations like Land's End, kicks off the excursion. During the approximately 40 to 45 minute duration of this portion of the tour, guests have the opportunity to take pictures of the Arch and the surrounding landscape. The snorkeling spot, Pelican's Rock, is merely a 5-minute ride from the Arch. Jump into the beautiful water and let your adventure begin in this "aquarium" as you encounter colorful tropical fish, as well as possibly starfish, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, seahorses, crabs, stingrays, and other marine animals, just to name a few. During their 45 to 60 minutes of snorkeling, guests may take in the rich marine life and stunning underwater scenery in this special and protected area. Following snorkeling, the equipment is gathered, and the tour moves on to the next segment of the tour. After your underwater adventure and if weather conditions allow, guests can enjoy an hour of relaxation at one of the nearby beaches, such as Pelican's Rock Beach or Balconcito Beach. If the weather prevents guests from spending time at the beach, they are transferred back to the marina, where they can spend their leisure time shopping in the downtown area. Please Note: There is a Marina Access fee ($1 US per person) that is required to be paid in cash at the Marina.
