Snorkeling Activity in San José del Cabo
Snorkeling in San José del Cabo is a unique experience that allows you to explore the vibrant underwater world of the Sea of Cortez, one of the most biodiverse marine ecosystems on the planet. The activity takes place in crystal-clear waters, where you can swim and observe the rich marine life in a peaceful and accessible way, without needing prior diving experience.
Activity Description
1. Start of the Experience:
The activity begins with a transfer to the most recommended snorkeling spots, such as Zacatitos, the Sunken Ship, and El Dorado (depending on the excursion). Once there, guides will provide you with a complete snorkeling set, including a mask, snorkel, and fins. In many cases, life vests are also offered for added safety and comfort.
2. Instructions and Preparation:
Before entering the water, you'll receive a brief orientation on how to properly use the equipment, how to move in the water, and the safety guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. The guides will be present at all times, ready to assist you and answer any questions.
3. Underwater Exploration:
Once in the water, the tour begins along the most marine life-rich areas. The waters are warm, clear, and calm, providing excellent visibility. As you swim near the reefs and rock formations, you’ll encounter a wide variety of tropical fish, colorful corals, and, if you're lucky, other marine species like rays, turtles, or even dolphins.
4. Interaction with Marine Life:
Snorkeling in this area is perfect for those wanting to have close encounters with marine life without needing to dive too deep. Tropical fish swim near you, and sea turtles are often seen gliding slowly in their natural habitat. You may also come across curious sea lions that approach swimmers.
5. Return to Shore:
After a period of exploration, which can last between 1.5 to 2 hours, the group returns to the boat. The guides make sure that all participants are comfortable and safe before leaving the water. Upon returning to shore, you can relax, enjoy a refreshing drink, and some food, or even explore the area further.
