What To Expect
This Ocean Safari is built for travelers who want real exploration without giving up comfort. You depart from San Jose del Cabo aboard a stable and comfortable boat designed for long hours on the water. The ride stays smooth, there is shade and space to move, and the layout makes it easy to relax while scanning the horizon. The route is never fixed. Your guide reads the water, birds, and surface activity, following signs of life as they appear. Dolphins often arrive at the bow. Mobula rays may leap in groups. Whales, turtles, and pelagic fish move through these waters depending on the day. When conditions allow, you enter the water under close guidance to experience the ocean from within. This experience costs a bit more because it delivers more. More time searching, more comfort during long stretches at sea, fewer people, and decisions driven by conditions, not a schedule. It feels unhurried, intentional, and deeply rewarding.
• What you may encounter
Dolphins, mobula rays, whales, turtles, pelagic fish, whales, orcas
• Experience style
Exploratory, immersive, and led by ocean conditions
Ask yourself this.
Do you want to observe the ocean, or explore it as it unfolds.

Frequently Asked Questions (14)
The answers provided below were previously given in response to questions from Cool Cabo 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 Cabo 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 Cabo 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 2023As an active member of the Dolphin SMART program, we do not have physical contact with the dolphins on Sea of Cortez Safari!Amazing animal encounters!. We watch them in their natural habitat from the boat.
Dec 2022First-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.
