Fajitas Dinner, 2 Hours

Sunset Fajitas Cruise in Los Cabos.

Overview

This is a two-hour sunset party cruise out of Cabo San Lucas marina, run by Wild Cabo Tours, built around an open bar and a fajita buffet rather than a quiet dinner sail. You check in at Dock 0 behind Hotel Hacienda Beach Club, ideally around 40 minutes before departure, and once aboard the boat heads for Land's End. The first half is sightseeing: a close pass by the Arch, then Lovers Beach, with commentary on local history along the way.

The second half turns into the main event. Music, a DJ and an MC take over the open-air upper deck, drinks keep flowing from the included bar, and the buffet opens with tortilla chips, guacamole and salsa followed by fajitas. Reviewers describe it plainly as a party boat, some delighted by that and a few caught off guard, so the vibe is the single most important thing to understand before booking.

It suits travellers who want a loud, social, energetic evening on the water with the sunset as a backdrop. It suits anyone hoping for a calm, quiet dinner cruise far less. The boat can carry up to 190 passengers, so expect company rather than space.

What's Included

Itinerary

1. Check in at Dock 0Make your own way to Dock 0 in the Cabo San Lucas marina, right behind Hotel Hacienda Beach Club and facing the Breathless Hotel El Medano. Arrive 40 minutes before departure; after check-in you can buy refreshments at the terminal restaurant.
2. Cruise to the ArchThe boat cruises up close to Land's End and the famous Arch of Cabo San Lucas, with roughly 30 minutes at this stop and free admission. A good window for photos.
3. Lovers BeachNext the boat moves to Playa de los Amantes, also called Lovers Beach, for about 30 minutes while the crew shares more of Cabo's history.
4. Sunset on the PacificThe final hour is spent off Cabo San Lucas beach, with the sun setting over the Pacific. This is when the party atmosphere, buffet dinner and open bar are in full swing on the open-air upper deck.
5. Return to the marinaThe cruise ends back at the same terminal at the marina. Remember the dock and protected areas fees are payable in cash at check-in.

What To Expect From The Tour

• Party, not dinner. Reviewers consistently describe this as a party boat with loud music, a DJ and an MC. Travellers who came expecting a relaxed dinner were sometimes disappointed, while those expecting a lively night had a great time.
• Bring cash. There is a $5 per person dock and protected areas fee, payable in cash at check-in, split as a $2 port fee and a $3 natural reserve access fee. Cash is also handy for souvenirs and for any tequila shots sold on board, which one reviewer found pricey and not clearly explained as an extra.
• Crowds and seating. The boat takes up to 190 passengers, and one reviewer described it as jammed packed with college students. Seating is on benches and tables on the lower level, with open sky above the upper deck.
• Food and drink. The open bar covers beer, vodka, tequila and sodas, with premium international drinks excluded.
• What to wear. The listing recommends a light jacket or sweater from November through March. Seating is on benches and tables on the lower level, with open sky above the upper deck.
• Getting there. Hotel pickup is not included, so you need to make your own way to Dock 0 in the marina. One reviewer noted the walk from the pier is long but level, and public transport is nearby.

Common issues. The $5 per person dock and reserve fees are not in the ticket price and must be paid in cash at check-in. One reviewer felt tequila shots were offered without being clearly flagged as paid extras. Cancellation is strict: no refund if you cancel within 24 hours of departure, and one reviewer who arrived late missed the boat entirely and lost the fare. The listing also advises against the trip for pregnant travellers.
