Creator's Key Takeaways

Cabo is a tender Port which means that the cruise ship parks in the bay and the passengers need to board smaller vessels to get to shore

we chose not to book an Excursion through Carnival so upon arrival we saw a number of vendors offering services and tours to key locations in the area

the water taxi dropped us off at El madono Beach which was roughly 10 to 15 minutes away from where the tender docked

all of the food was excellent

Creator's Tips & Advice

Add extra time for tender process when visiting a tender port
Inform cruise line about mobility issues for assistance during tendering
Wear shoes that are easy to take on and off to avoid wet feet on the beach
Allow plenty of time to return to the ship to avoid being left behind
