5.Snorkeling or Swimming with Sharks in Cabo San Lucas

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 517 reviews · 4 hours (approx.)

Spend about four hours on the Sea of Cortez with trained shark guides, including PADI-certified instructors. You may swim with makos, hammerheads, blue sharks, or silky sharks, then visit El Arco and a sea lion colony. The boat carries up to 12 people and includes gear, snacks, water, and underwater photos.

“As several people have mentioned before, it seems fairly common to see 0 sharks or maybe 1-2. Unfortunately, we didn't see any sharks and therefore, we were just on the hot boat, simmering. The tour website's shark chart stated that there was a high chance of seeing schools of silky sharks during this time, but we saw 0. Instead, we received a coupon for the next dive if we wanted to go again, but it's still quite a lot of money to spend, and have already spent, whilst perhaps not seeing sharks the second time around. Also, it would have been another half day gone of our already limited vacation…”
