Plan the journey

Cabo Pulmo is outside central Cabo San Lucas, so travel time can be significant and depends on the starting point and road conditions. Confirm pickup availability, meeting location, transportation and the expected return time.

Respect the protected marine environment

Follow the instructions of authorized guides and park personnel. Do not touch coral, collect marine life, feed fish, stand on reef structures or leave waste in the water or on shore.

Confirm the activity details

Ask whether the outing is snorkeling only or part of a wider day trip, what equipment is provided, how long you will be in the water and whether food or transportation is included.

Be prepared for changing conditions

Visibility, swell, wind and currents can change. A guide may adjust or cancel the water activity when conditions are not suitable. Ask about the operator's weather and cancellation policy.
