Snorkeling in Cabo Pulmo
Cabo Pulmo offers unprecedented snorkeling on a live reef!
The Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park is the northern-most coral reef in the eastern Pacific and only one of three coral reefs on the west coast of North America. copy.jpg)
In the last decade since becoming a national park, the marine life in the reef has increased 460%. This has fostered exceptional snorkeling conditions in Cabo Pulmo.
People from around the world have enjoyed the beauty and tranquility of the Sea of Cortez while snorkeling at Cabo Pulmo.
We invite you to join us at the Cabo Pulmo Beach Resort and experience first hand the enchantment of snorkeling the live reef of Cabo Pulmo. Our snorkel tour is an adventure not to be missed! Our experienced PADI instructors will take excellent care of you!
Never snorkeled before? Don't worry, we are here for you! Cabo Pulmo Beach Resort has the equipment for you, all you really need are a mask and a snorkel; fins are optional. Here are a few tips
so you make the most of your excursion.
- MASK- Adjust the straps to fit your head comfortably. Make sure your hair is out of the way and put the mask onto your face. Inhale gently through your nose to seal the mask to your face.
- SNORKEL- Adjust the snorkel strap to fit correctly on the mask strap. Keep the snorkel upright while you swim face down in the water. Breathe normally through the snorkel.
- Fins- Adjust fin straps to fit your foot. It is easiest to put fins on just before entering water, they can be difficult to walk in! (If you must walk in fins, walking backwards is the easiest way)
It is important to remember that coral is very delicate and easily damage. Coral is also very sharp and can cut you. While snorkeling it is best to avoid coming in contact with coral, to protect the coral and yourself!
We hope to see you at the Cabo Pulmo Beach Resort soon!
I love being in the warm waters of Cabo with Sea Lions!
I find their gracefulness fascinating. These mammals can weigh up to 850 pounds making them seem incredibly awkward on land with flippers as their only tool to "walk" with. Although, once in the water, their awkwardness is washed away. They are smooth, fluid and seemingly weightless.
I have been snorkeling and diving with sea lions for over 30 years. They are intelligent, friendly and extremely curious. Sea lions are not afraid to swim over you, under you or around you. In fact, during one snorkeling trip a sea lion swam right up to me and peered into my eyes. The sea lion was so close, I could have literally kissed him.
Their smooth fluid movements remind me of dragging a thin dish cloth slowly through water in smooth circular motions. It is exhilarating to be with them, they give you an inside look at the underwater world. Sea lions are playful and quite social.
The pups nuzzle against the female sea lions like small children nuzzle against their mothers. When the male sea lion arrives the enthusiasm is palpable. The pups and females bark and gather around the male.
Some people may not be immediately impressed by sea lions. And above water, I understand why some would dismiss them. But, you must, experience them underwater. They are beautiful!!

My husband and I did the
Cabo Pulmo Snorkeling Tour with the Cabo Pulmo Dive Center within the National Marine Park. They picked us up at Mykonos in San Jose Del Cabo, it was a little under 1 1/2 hours drive from there to the park. We were suited up with wet suits and inflatable life vests, and headed out in a panga with our guide and the driver. We say manta rays, two grey whales and a calf that was frolicking in the waves - an inbelievable sight! The sea lion colony was awesome!! They were so playful, and loved to swim circles around you and blow bubbles, they were hilarious. The coral was beautiful and plenty of tropical fish. At the end of snorkeling, we had a delcious lunch (included in the tour fee) and then the drive back to our resort.
If I ever return to Cabo or San Jose del Cabo I would definitley take this tour again! The staff were very friendly and very knowledgable, not one bad thing about it!

“Cabo Pulmo Dive Center Was the Place For Us” Reviewed January 31, 2012 My husband and I were back in Cabo Pulmo, my favorite place in the world, for diving & snorkeling. We had received our advanced open water certificate with Rick in July, and wanted to come back to see the whales and sharks that migrate around the Baja during the winter. During our dive we saw schools of rays, white tipped shark, sea fans, and lots of parrot fish. Captain Memo knew exactly where to drop us, and pick us up. He is excellant at navigating around the reef. He also took us by to see where the tiger sharks are mating. It was thrilling to see the giant sharks cruise under our boat, but then we saw something even more spectacular! The tiger sharks had caught a pelican, and a feeding frenzy ensued.

That was really cool! Since it was January, we had a couple of days that
we couldn't dive because of the wind. However, Rick gave us great tips on where to go to get out of the wind and hang out. The snorkeling is unbelievable! We rented most of our gear from the Dive Center. The equipment was in perfect shape. Since the water temperature was so cold, I got to try out a 7 mm hoodie. It kept me nice and warm. Cabo Pulmo Dive Center has everything you need to dive. They even have a pool next to the center where you can get your certification. They have a number of talented instructors who can get you educated and in the water. I feel extremely confident recommending the Dive Center to anyone. We had most of our meals at the
restaurantupstairs while we stayed in Cabo Pulmo. It is not the typical fair that one would expect to find in a small town. Along with tortilla soup (awesome!) and burritos, we had coconut shrimp, seafood pasta, pizza, and steak. They also had a nice wine selection in addition to beer and margaritas. And they are one of the few places in town who take credit cards! We had a great time in the evening hanging out in the restaurant/bar above the dive center, and getting to know the people who live and vacation in Cabo Pulmo. Visited January 2012
I went for
a dive this morning to train and orientate one of our new PADI Instructors (
Antonio). It was his first dive here. We made our descent into a school of grouper, golden grouper and saw 4 mammoth grouper (300-400lbs). The dive continued with huge pacific sting-rays, swarms of puffer fish, grunts by the 1000s, beautiful school of porkfish, trumpet fish (cornet fish), even a turtle. After 40 mins or so we started our ascent to make a safety stop at 15ft for 3 mins when all of a sudden approximately 800 manta rays swam by lasting the whole safety stop. I've been diving here for 2 years, and it never gets old, or seases to amaze me.
