Cabo San Lucas Marina and Water Taxis

[tip]

Just a couple of questions....

 

...1) How far is the marina in Cabo San Lucas from where the Mariner of the Seas docks? The glass bottom boat tours look interesting.

 

...2) Does taking a water taxi mean getting wet. My wife has a limited physical challenge and I am not so sure that if you have to jump off in knee deep water that it will be appropriate for her.

Cabo is a tender port. It is about a 10 minute ride to the pier from the ship. Never took a water taxi, so I can't help with you there.

The tender pier is on the marina. As soon as you exit the pier area there will be tons of water taxi captains trying to get you to take a tour. If you are just taking a tour and coming back to the marina you will get on and back off the water taxi from the dock. If you want to go to the beach, you will have to jump off and then get back on the boat in a foot or 2 of water.

 

The "glass bottom" of these water taxi boats are just a scratched piece of plexiglass. You can't really see anything through it. A typical 30 minute tour of the area costs about !0/pp. Make sure to agree on the price before you get in the boat.

Thank you. You confirmed my suspicions on all counts!

I believe you can take a taxi (not water) to Medano Beach as well if you woud prefer not to jump in the water. That's the option I will be doing because I'll have my 2 young kids with me.

yep, when ya get to Medano Beach, you are more than likely gonna get wet feet, and the one below is a nice one

You have to climb back in the boat from the water. As long as the boat isn't bobbing around in the surf when it's rough, it is pretty easy to swing your legs over the edge. There will be locals in the water to help you in and out of the boats but they will be expecting a tip if you let them assist you.

You can also walk around the pier to the beach. We have done it twice. We also take the water taxis. Yes we have been there a lot.:D
