The Landmarks and Scenic Highlights
Your journey begins with a close-up view of The Arch, perhaps the most recognizable rock formation in Cabo San Lucas. It’s a natural wonder that everyone photographs, and from the water, it looks even more impressive against the backdrop of a setting sun. Passing Lovers Beach and Divorce Beach, you’ll see contrasting shoreline scenes: Lovers Beach’s calm cove and Divorce Beach’s rugged, wave-battered sands.
We loved the way the boat glides smoothly past these sights, giving everyone ample time for photos and selfies. Since the tour is rated highly for its authentic and unobstructed views, you’ll feel like you’re right there in the postcard.
The Atmosphere and Social Vibe
The onboard ambiance is lively without being overwhelming. With live music adding to the cheerful mood, you can lounge in the netted areas, stand at the rails, or sit comfortably with a drink in hand. The unlimited open bar means you won’t have to ration your cocktails — a rare treat that adds to the sense of celebration.
One review notes that the crew is friendly and safety-conscious, ensuring everyone has a good time without concerns. The boat holds up to 50 passengers, so it’s not overly crowded, allowing for easy mingling or peaceful moments alone.
The Snacks and What’s Included
You’re provided with chips and guacamole — simple, tasty, and sufficient to stave off hunger during the cruise. While some might wish for a more substantial snack, the light bites are enough to complement the drinks and take the edge off hunger after a day of sightseeing.
Seeing Whales and Wildlife
Depending on the time of year, you might even spot whales — as one review mentions, “we saw a few whales” during their cruise. While not guaranteed, the chance to see marine life adds an extra layer of excitement to an already scenic trip.

Real Traveler Feedback
