Snorkeling Adventure Cabo Pulmo
Description
Cabo Pulmo is the best snorkeling spots in Los Cabo area. At least 226 fish species live in the park, and it is home to the only living hard coral reef in the Sea of Cortez. The reefs of Cabo Pulmo have long been considered a treasure of the Baja California península. The reef has even become a refuge for at least one endangered species: the large and valuable gulf grouper. The waters of Cabo Pulmo are the clearest in the Cabo San Lucas area, with visibility sometimes exceeding 100 feet between June and December. The marine preserve is about a 2 hour drive from Cabo San Lucas, so you'll have to make sure you have time before booking this unique snorkeling tour.

Cardumen Tours highly recommended!! Great experience, time, quality, attention, everything perfect.
To start with I would call this more of a float trip than a snorkeling trip. You have to wear a full life vest and float on top the entire time. If you're an avid snorkeler this will be extremely frustrating. So much marine life and unable to go down and look at it. They do provide wetsuits and their snorkeling gear seemed in decent shape. (Had my own) They take you out on Pangas and not many people on the boat. The guides were fantastic. Spoke good English, very knowledgeable, and kept good track of swimmers in the water. (Easy to see people since everyone had a life vest on) We did go to 4 different stops. Did see a good variety of fish but I was surprised how little coral there was. The highlight of the trip was when we went to deep water and got to swim with a massive school of Big-eyed Jacks. The only refreshments given were 2 fig newtons and a glass of water. Luckly the other party on the boat brought fresh oranges and some beer that they shared with us. I would recommend bringing your own snacks and something to drink. As far as getting there from Cabo I would recommend the Inland Road compared to the coast road. Easier to figure arrival time this way. Only about the last 10km are on dirt, washboard roads. Then I would recommend driving the coast road home. Spectacular scenery and lots of unspoiled beaches. Some cows, horses, and goats in the road. It is about 50km of unpaved road. Some is ok condition, but some is very washboard. I met some snorkelers that were heading to a beach where you can snorkel from shore. I will try that next just so I don't have to wear a life vest.
Drove to the dive shop, 2 hours from Cabo Sal Lukas. very orderly when we arrived. got us outfitted with wetsuits (not really needed for the water temp, but nice if you are worried about sunburn). went to 3 areas to snorkel, Good snorkeling, visibility was pretty good that day. I think the Tour company can accomodate inexperienced as well as experienced snorkelers effectively. Guide was personable and fluent in english or spanish.
Saw tons of unique looking tropical fish. They take you to a few different spots. Well worth the drive from Cabo for the day! I would totally do this again.
People were great!!! Did not have enough wetsuits for people 180 and 200 pounds. Did not supply enough water to drink. When they took us back after snorkeling I had to jump out into chest deep water with my belongings instead of bringing in closer to shore. The snorkel sites were really good.
This was a great experience from start to finish! Our tour guide, Oscar and driver Chaco were personable, fun, and very knowledgeable. The company provides wetsuits as well as snorkel gear. We were able to see lots of types of fish from the four different spots that we snorkel in and enjoyed seeing sea lions and chasing a whale.
DO NOT miss this dive.. best spot in the world bar none
Not to be missed. The best snorkeling experience ever. 4 stops great viewing Shakespeare so much variety of fish sea lions modulas i mean what else Can anyone ask for
Amazing sea life, we saw turtles many fish, sea lions, and humpback whales, it was great! Beware of jellyfish
Alberto was a fantastic guide! We had a great time swimming with sea lions and seeing dolphins and frigate birds. The length of time snorkeling was great!
