What To Expect
We will navigate through the marine park of Cabo San Lucas and see some of the most famous landscapes from Baja California, the notorious Arch of Cabo San Lucas, the Lovers beach, and the beautiful shoreline of Baja on the way. During the humpback whale season (nov-april) we might watch them breaching or surfacing too. Mobulas are also frequently early in the morning and late afternoon (May and December). Marlins, sea lions, sea turtles, among many other marine animals can be seen on our way, including many kinds of sea birds too!
Once we arrive, the crew will start attracting the sharks with chum (made of 100% fish within the sharks diet) and your tour guide will give a presentation about our work, shark ecology and conservation efforts in the area. If you decide to swim with the sharks, you will also attend the mandatory safety briefing with the in-water procedures and all you should and should not do during the dive.
Once the shark arrives, your safety diver will be the first one to get in the water. Follow the guides instruction and enjoy the sharks with safety and respect! Sharks may come very close to the boat and observers will also be able to see them from above.

The answers provided below were previously given in response to questions from Cool Destinations customers.
Filter by:
Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Destinations snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Destinations tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
