Located along the Los Cabos Corridor, Santa Maria Cove and Chileno Bay are regarded as two of the best snorkeling locations in the area. After hotel or cruise-port pickup in Los Cabos, travel with your guide by air-conditioned minivan to Santa Maria Cove, a horseshoe-shaped bay nestled between two bluffs.
The tranquil, turquoise waters of this protected marine sanctuary make this an ideal snorkeling and swimming place for families. After a safety briefing on the pink-sand beach, slip on your snorkeling gear and head out into the Pacific.
Follow your guide who points out where to see the most abundant or interesting marine life, and explains what you see in the water. As you float over rocky formations, be delighted by the schools of colorful fish and beautiful coral communities passing within view.
Return to shore for a water and granola-bar snack break before boarding the minivan to your second snorkeling site, Chileno Bay (Bahia Chileno). With the help of your guide, discover manta rays, moray eels, sea turtles, sea fans and reef formations, in addition to troves of tropical fish.
Then, soak up the sun and relax on the wide expanse of beach, or seek shade under the camp your guide has set up for you. After some down time, enjoy transport back to your hotel or the cruise terminal.
