Creator's Key Takeaways

Cabo is a tender port, so your ship anchors in the bay, and you'll ride the larger Cabo tenders into the marina.

First- timers, do a quick L's End Elco boat tour. Ask to head over to Lover's Beach.

From December to April is whale watching, and that can be incredible.

Our go-to is typically a water taxi over to Madano Beach. It's a beautiful beach where a lot of tourists will hang out.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Grab the tender tickets as soon as they're available, sometimes the night before, or book a ship excursion for priority disembarkation.
✓If Cabo is your first port, you often get more time ashore. If it's the last port, expect to have an earlier allabboard time.
✓We usually post up a little early. We'll find a bar right there where we can keep an eye on the line and then when we see the crew start to head back, that's our cue to get back on the tender.
