Mexico Port of call

Cabo San Lucas

Marina views, natural history, Médano’s shore.

Cabo San Lucas calls start with the tender from the bay. Choose public marina-side paths, the natural history museum at Plaza Amelia Wilkes or a selected Médano shore visit. Keep the last return boat and your ship’s all-aboard deadline separate. El Arco boats, water sports, resort passes and San José del Cabo require their own complete outing arrangements.

Start with the time you actually have

Count from when you can get off the ship, or ashore by tender, to the all-aboard time, using ship time. Times on these plans are our estimates, with time to spare; they cannot promise a plan fits your sailing.

Short plans need up to 4 hours in total, medium up to 6, long more than 6. A plan with a connection still to confirm has no total.

Put your day on the map

Select a terminal or place to see its location and open directions.

Show on the map

Open Cabo San Lucas marina in Google Maps

Choose a place for its location, then open Google Maps for directions. Confirm the terminal on your cruise documents; a map result does not establish your ship’s berth or an accessible route.

Local know-how

Worth knowing before you walk off

Checked Oct 4, 2026. Confirm fares and hours locally before paying.

Beach conditions

A swimming-beach label is not today’s conditions

Los Cabos tourism warns about rough surf and currents and asks visitors to heed beach warning flags. Check conditions and local instructions even at Médano; this plan budgets a shore visit, not swimming.

Getting around

Before you go ashore

How long is the ship in port, and when is all-aboard?

Port hours vary by ship and date in Cabo San Lucas. Check your sailing itinerary for scheduled arrival and departure, then the onboard app or daily notice for all-aboard, ship time and any last-tender deadline. Subtract clearance, both transfers and a return buffer before choosing an outing. Scheduled arrival is not your guaranteed time ashore.

Can I explore independently?

Our suggestion: choose one local focus, confirm current advice, opening and both connections, and protect the last tender and ship’s deadline.

What should I take ashore?

Take your ship card or wearable, the identification specified in the ship’s port briefing, any tour ticket and a way to pay. Save your terminal name, return deadline and ship’s emergency contact offline. Ask whether your original passport is required for this visit; do not assume a phone photo replaces required identification. Mexican pesos (MXN). Banco de México identifies peso banknotes and coins.

How do I get off and back on the ship?

Wait for the ship’s announcement that passengers may go ashore. Follow its gangway, shuttle or tender instructions and any ticketing order. Keep your ship identification ready when leaving and returning. Allow for terminal access checks, queues and security screening before reboarding; tender passengers also need to meet the last return boat.
