Cabo San Lucas Excursions

Cabo San Lucas is one of the most popular ports in Mexico, and the cruise lines making port have assembled an array of fun and exciting tours, excursions and adventures for your pleasure.

Your ship will drop anchor in the bay, and you will come ashore via your ship's tenders. You will be dropped off at the tender pier in the Cabo Marina, from which you will meet your guide/driver/captain for your day's adventure. The walk from the tender pier to the Puerto Paraiso Mall at the Marina will take about 10-15 minutes. The area is clearly marked where you will reboard your ship's tender for your return back to your ship.
