Cabo Party Cruise with Sunset, Music & Open Bar: A Relaxed, Festive Way to Enjoy Cabo’s Beauty
If you’re dreaming of an evening filled with lively music, fantastic views, and unlimited drinks, the Cabo Party Cruise with Sunset, Music & Open Bar might just be what you’re looking for. It’s a popular choice for travelers wanting to combine sightseeing with a party vibe, all wrapped into a four-hour experience. While we haven’t personally taken this cruise, the details paint a pretty inviting picture for anyone looking to add a bit of fun and relaxation to their Cabo visit.
What really draws us to this experience are the scenic landmarks you get to see from the water — like Lovers Beach, the iconic Arch, and the Sea Lion Colony. Plus, the all-you-can-drink open bar means you don’t need to worry about keeping your glass full while enjoying the sunset and the music. On the flip side, it’s worth noting that the tour might not be ideal for those seeking a more laid-back, quiet sunset or who prefer a more intimate or luxurious experience.
This cruise feels best suited for travelers looking for a lively, social atmosphere — perhaps friends, groups, or singles wanting to celebrate and meet others. It’s also a good pick if you want to combine sightseeing with a party, but if you’re after a peaceful, romantic sunset, you might prefer a more subdued experience. Either way, it’s a straightforward option that promises fun in a beautiful setting.

Setting Sail on a Scenic, Party-Infused Sunset

The Cabo Party Cruise generally starts around 5:00 pm, perfectly timed to catch that glowing sunset over the Pacific. Once aboard, you’re greeted with a lively atmosphere—think upbeat music, a dance floor, and a crowd ready to have fun. The cruise lasts approximately two hours, but the entire experience, including transportation, takes around four hours, making it a convenient way to end your day.

The open bar is a standout feature; you can sip on beer, tequila, vodka, rum, or mixers whenever you like. For those who love a drink with a view, this setup is ideal. The atmosphere is casual, so no need to dress up excessively, but comfortable shoes are recommended if you plan to dance.

The Landmarks and Views: What You’ll See

One of the biggest draws here is the scenic backdrop. Cruising past the famous Lovers Beach gives you a chance to admire the coast from a different perspective—though the beach itself isn’t part of the tour. The Arch of Cabo San Lucas is an unmistakable silhouette, perfect for photos, especially as the sun dips low. The Sea Lion Colony nearby adds a touch of local charm, giving that authentic Cabo flavor.
We loved the way the tour balances sightseeing with lively entertainment. The views are stunning, and the moments when the sun begins to set are truly memorable. The boat’s route allows you to soak in the landscape without feeling rushed, and the crew often provides some commentary about the landmarks.
What’s Included and How It Works

For $90.90, your ticket covers:
- A 2-hour scenic cruise with lively music and dancing
- Unlimited drinks from the open bar: beer, spirits, sodas, and juices
- Light snacks: chips, pretzels, and peanuts
- Optional transportation: pickup and drop-off from designated locations
Most travelers can participate, as the tour is adult-oriented (you need to be 18+ to drink). The tour is capped at 50 people, creating a lively but manageable group size that encourages socializing.
The meeting point is at Plaza Gali on Paseo de la Marina, right in the heart of Cabo. The tour start time varies depending on the season to ensure you catch the sunset at just the right moment, so it’s good to be flexible with your schedule.
The Experience: What Travelers Can Expect

Based on what others have shared, the atmosphere onboard is energetic and friendly. Many reviewers highlight the stunning sunset views as a major highlight. For example, one noted that the “views from the boat were truly breathtaking,” and another mentioned how “the atmosphere was lively, perfect for celebrating with friends.”
The music tends to be a mix of current hits and classic tunes, creating a party vibe that’s hard to resist if you enjoy dancing. The light snacks help keep energy levels up, though don’t expect a full meal—think more of a casual snack to nibble between drinks.
Some reviewers mention the free-flowing drinks as a huge plus, with one saying, “the open bar kept us happy all evening,” and another appreciated the variety of cocktails available. It’s a fun, no-pressure environment—ideal if you’re in Cabo to relax and have a good time.
Potential Downsides and Considerations

While the vibe is fun, it’s worth noting that this isn’t a silent, romantic sunset cruise. If you’re after a peaceful, picture-perfect moment with just the sunset and your loved one, this might feel a bit loud or crowded. Also, the alcohol policy means you need to be at least 18 to enjoy the drinks, so families with children won’t find this suitable.
Another point to consider is the timing—since the start time varies for the sunset, if you have tight schedules or specific plans afterward, make sure you’re aware of the exact timing. And as it’s a group experience, if you prefer an intimate experience or dislike large crowds, this might not be your best option.
Lastly, some reviewers note that the experience is quite lively, which is great for party-goers but might be overwhelming for those who prefer a more subdued environment.
