    What is so special in CABO PULMO? Cabo Pulmo is a small village that sits at the center of one of the most remarkable national parks in the world. The National Marine Park of Cabo Pulmo is home to the only living coral reef in the Sea of Cortez and has the largest variety of species of underwater life in the entire Los Cabos area. Located approximately 60 miles north of Cabo San Lucas and a little bit under 2 hours from San Jose del Cabo. This isn't just a tour, it's a journey like no other. From the moment we set off, the entire two-hour drive becomes part of the adventure, with ocean views unfolding before you, turning every mile into a scene worth remembering.

    Unlike traditional boat tours in Cabo San Lucas, this experience begins directly from the beach, allowing you to explore Land’s End at ocean level in a more natural and immersive way.

    This guided snorkeling experience takes place in two of the calmest and most protected bays in Los Cabos — Santa Maria and Chileno Bay — where reef ecosystems, clear water, and easy beach access create ideal snorkeling conditions throughout much of the year. Unlike larger snorkeling cruises, this experience stays focused on the reef itself rather than boat transportation. Guests enter directly from the beach, creating a more comfortable and accessible experience while avoiding crowded snorkeling routes. Both bays are known for volcanic reef formations and colorful marine life. Depending on visibility and season, you may encounter parrotfish, angelfish, pufferfish, sea stars, rays, surgeonfish, and occasionally sea turtles moving through the reef systems of the Sea of Cortez.
