Cabo San Lucas: Sunset Dinner

Imagine watching the sun dip behind the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink, all while enjoying a relaxed cruise with good food and lively company. That’s exactly what you get with the Sunset Dinner Cruise to Lands End. Priced at $85 per person and lasting about two hours, this experience offers a fantastic way to soak in the natural beauty of Baja California Sur while indulging in some well-earned treats.

The tour is perfect for those looking to combine sightseeing with a bit of leisure — whether you’re a couple seeking a romantic evening, a group of friends wanting to toast the sunset, or a solo traveler eager to meet others. We especially love the open-air upper deck, which gives you unobstructed views of the scenery, and the bottomless tropical cocktails that keep the mood lively. One thing to consider: the cruise is relatively short, so if you’re hoping for a lengthy evening, you might want to supplement it with other activities.

A potential drawback? The meal options are somewhat limited to chicken or beef fajitas, which may not suit vegetarians or those with dietary restrictions. Still, the quality of food and drinks combined with the setting makes this a worthwhile outing for most. We think this cruise would suit anyone looking for an authentic, scenic experience with good value, especially those eager to enjoy Cabo’s stunning coastlines in a casual, festive environment.

A Close Look at the Experience

The Cabo San Lucas Sunset Dinner cruise begins at the Marina de Cabo San Lucas, a bustling hub full of boats and lively shops. From there, the boat gently departs, heading toward the legendary Lands End, home to the Arch and other striking rock formations. The boat itself is equipped with both an open-air top deck and a more sheltered lower deck, giving you options based on your mood and weather.

We loved the way the top deck encourages a sense of freedom — you can dance, take photos, or simply stand in awe of the scenery. As the boat glides along, you’ll start to see the silhouette of Lands End grow more prominent, framed by the setting sun. One reviewer fondly recalls, “The views were absolutely stunning, and I loved being able to stand outside and feel the breeze while watching the colors change.”

As the sun dips below the horizon, it’s the perfect moment for that classic photo op. The vibrant sky reflecting off the water makes every shot special. The guide often shares tidbits about Cabo’s rocky coastline and history, adding a touch of local flavor to your experience.

The meal service is straightforward but satisfying — chicken or beef fajitas are prepared fresh and served right on the deck. These fajitas are praised for their flavor and generous portions. As one guest put it, “The fajitas were hot, flavorful, and hit the spot after a day of exploring.” The bottomless tropical cocktails keep spirits high, especially on warm evenings, with options like margaritas and fruity mixed drinks that complement the ocean breeze.

Post-dinner, the lively atmosphere continues with music and dancing on the deck. If you prefer a quieter moment, you can retreat below deck to enjoy some soothing background tunes and gaze at the shimmering coastline. The mix of relaxed downtime and upbeat fun makes it a versatile experience.

The duration of two hours is enough to soak in the scenery and enjoy the food without feeling rushed. However, because it’s a shorter cruise, some may find it a bit brief, especially if they’re craving a more extensive evening out. Still, the value for the price — including unlimited drinks and a scenic sunset — makes it a compelling choice.

Some guests mention that the food is simple but well prepared, with one commenting, “The fajitas were surprisingly tasty and came with plenty of toppings.” A few reviews mention the crowd size — generally, groups are moderate, creating a friendly but not overcrowded vibe.

The location at Marina de Cabo San Lucas is convenient, although a small fee ($5 USD) applies for access, which is typical for these tours. It’s worth arriving a little early to avoid last-minute rushes.
