Come on an intimate sailing cruise to pristine remote beaches, including snorkeling with tropical fish and swimming with sea lions. The 5 hour tour includes savory round-trip transportation, chef-prepared meals, a skilled and educated crew, and typically a marine biologist as snorkel leader, along with certified guide(s). We provide snorkel gear, wetsuits, kayaks, powered support boat, bottled water, beer, sodas, open bar and private bathrooms with showers and laundered towels. We even provide reef-friendly sunscreen!

All-Inclusive

The Remote Beaches and Sea Lion Encounter Tour includes ground transportation from the Cabo area to La Paz, and back. There is a discount for driving on your own. On board our 60' Sailing Catamaran, or our 96' Triple-Deck Cruising Yacht, you will enjoy a light breakfast of fruit, yogurt, and pastries as we begin the cruise. A chef-prepared lunch is also included, along with an open bar. After the captain’s orientation, your hostess and snorkel leader, usually a marine biologist, will share valuable information on the Sea of Cortez and pertinent details pertaining to exploring remote beaches, and the visit to the sea lion colony and the sea lion snorkeling encounter.

Tour Details

The sea lion encounter experience is a very special one. It allows guests to get up close and personal with these friendly and beautiful animals. Boarding ladders allow access to and from the water. Your licensed, certified whale shark guide will enter the water first to assist guests as needed. Guests wishing to swim or snorkel alongside a sea lion will be encouraged to do so, but it is not required. When re-boarding the sailing catamaran, freshwater showers are available, as are fresh laundered towels, shampoo, soaps, etc.

Once everyone has had their own personal experience with a sea lion, a delicious lunch of several prepared dishes will be served. Also included throughout the day are snacks, chips, salsas, guacamole, soft drinks, beer, bottled water, ice, and an OPEN BAR. Fruits and vegetables are purchased fresh each day, as are chicken and beef. An onboard chef will prepare various dishes along with multiple side dishes. Provisions are made for those with allergies, and for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free needs, provided we are advised at least 24 hours in advance.

Snorkel gear, flotation vests, snorkel-dive boats, beach towels, layout mattresses, cushions, and pillows, are all included. It is not legal to use our kayaks, paddle boards, or scuba equipment in the whale shark area. Weather permitting, the sails will be raised for a dramatic return cruise to the resort at Marina Palmira where guests will board our private ground transportation for their return trip to Cabo. On the return drive, there is a brief bathroom stop at the mythological Hotel California, made famous by the Eagles popular song of the same name, after which you will be returned to your pick-up location.
