Cabo San Lucas: Sunset Cruise Experience

Thinking about catching a sunset in Cabo San Lucas? The Sunset Cruise with Loveshack Cruises offers an elegant way to enjoy those iconic views, but as with any tour, it’s worth weighing the details before booking. It’s a private experience designed for groups up to 14, so it’s perfect if you’re after a more intimate, personalized outing.

What we really like about this cruise is how it combines stunning scenery with thoughtful amenities. The vibrant sunset colors—think oranges, reds, and pinks—are truly unforgettable, and you’ll love the opportunity to capture those moments with your loved ones. Plus, the inclusion of a Mexican buffet and open bar makes for a relaxing, flavorful experience onboard.

That said, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. The price point might seem steep for some, especially if you’re traveling solo or as a couple; it’s quite a sum for a three-hour tour. Also, the dock fee of $2 USD per person isn’t included in the main price, which adds a small extra expense. But if you’re after a memorable sunset with a touch of luxury, this cruise ticks many boxes.

All in all, this tour works best for couples, small groups, or anyone looking for a private, scenic experience in Cabo. It’s a good fit if you want to combine stunning views with good food and drinks, and don’t mind paying for a more upscale vibe.

The Experience in Detail

When you book the Cabo San Lucas Sunset Cruise with Loveshack, you’re signing up for a scenic, relaxing journey over calm waters to see some of Cabo’s most iconic sights, with the highlight being the Cabo San Lucas Arch. This natural rock formation is one of the most photographed landmarks in the area, and seeing it from the water as the sun dips below the horizon is truly a sight to remember.

The cruise lasts about three hours, which is enough time to enjoy the views without feeling rushed. The meeting point is at Dock 0, La Terminal, Cabo San Lucas Marina, conveniently close to popular hotels and the Breathless Hotel, making it accessible whether you’re staying nearby or just arriving for the day.

Once onboard, the atmosphere is relaxed and, depending on the day, you might find yourself sharing the boat with a small, friendly group. The live guide speaks Spanish, so if that’s your language, you’ll get some local insights, but overall it’s a straightforward, laid-back experience.

The Scenic Highlights

The main draw here is undoubtedly the vista of the sunset as it transforms the sky into shades of orange, red, and pink. We loved the way the colors reflected off the water and how the silhouettes of the rocks and the arch created perfect photo opportunities. Many reviews mention how “beautiful” and “breathtaking” the views are, and it’s easy to see why.

Water Activities and Snacks

The cruise also includes snorkeling gear and two paddleboards, so if you’re feeling adventurous, you can take a dip or paddle around in the calm waters. This added option makes the experience more interactive, especially for those who enjoy water activities. However, keep in mind that the main focus is the sunset, so water fun is supplementary rather than the main event.

Meanwhile, the Mexican buffet features beef and chicken fajitas, rice, refried beans, potato salad, chips, and salsa—enough for most appetites and offering a taste of local flavors. The National Open Bar is a nice touch, with Tecate Light, tequila, rum, vodka, soft drinks, and bottled water making sure you stay refreshed. It’s all about creating a relaxed, festive atmosphere onboard.

Cost and Value

The $3,382 price is for the entire group of up to 14 people, meaning it’s roughly around $241 per person, which is on the higher end for a three-hour tour. But considering it’s a private cruise with personalized service, food, drinks, and water activities included, many find it to be good value—especially if celebrating a special occasion or traveling with friends.

Do remember, there’s a small extra fee of $2 USD per person paid in cash at check-in for the dock fee, which is not included in the main price. Packing a towel and swimwear is recommended if you want to enjoy the water activities, and high-heeled shoes are not permitted onboard for safety reasons.
