Planning a trip to Cabo?
For a truly unique experience, ask your captain to take you to a less-visited cove along the East Cape for snorkeling, or consider an early morning departure to witness the sunrise over the Sea of Cortez, often the calmest and most magical time on the water, before the crowds arrive.
