This is on the bucketlist for sure. What friendly sea lions. They wanted to say hi. Beautiful.

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Yes! We definitely recommend it! We were so excited to see the sea lions! We could also hear them "arf arf-ing" from the ship when we got back onboard! So cool! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳🦭

[@pamkemmerer5720]

Wow! We just booked a Cabo cruise for January and your video has us so much more excited!

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi! That’s awesome! So glad your excited! 🤩 It’s a beautiful destination! We hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳

[@CruisingWithJT]

A fun day in Cabo! Loved the dolphin and whale sightings, those are always my favorite, and amazing snorkeling as well! Brings back many memories of our trips to Cabo :) Cabo Night Aesthetic, Trademark! Love it :)

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Thanks so much JT! Our first west coast port definitely did not disappoint! So different from Caribbean itineraries! We never thought we would see a whale unless we went on an Alaska sailing, so seeing our first one at Cabo was such an awesome surprise! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳

[@CruisingWithJT]

@@HoffmanHappyTravels So cool! Hopefully an Alaska cruise from my hometown of Seattle is in your future ;)

[@joannatassin3238]

omg such diverse sealife! So beautiful!

Hi Fam! It’s so crazy to see your adventures like always but then go oh I was there at the same time! Cabo is the best! Love what you did and will try that next time for sure!!!

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi Lacrecia! ❤️ I know right?! While I’ve been editing these videos there’s been several times when I had a thought like “oh we filmed that right before chatting with Lacrecia!” Such good memories! ❤️ Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳

[@DJ_afroASH]

I have never seen water this clear on my coast! But I have felt water this cold on my coast yes! Great video making me excited for Cabo in November!!

I’ve never been to Cabo, but this vlog has me thinking about taking a cruise there perhaps next year!!!

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi Temmie! We definitely highly recommend! It was an unforgettable day and it was even better than I imagined it would be! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳

[@annettegrimes2931]

Love love love this adventure. We will be in Cabo in March. We would love to do this tour. Sorry for so many questions....How did the transportation work? Did you get off the boat at Pelican rock? How did the boat know to come back and pick you up? How long were you out there?

[@olgaharris1103]

So glad that you guys are cruising! I hope to one day join you on a most satisfying experience! Sail on, and ENJOY! 🤗😎

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Thanks for watching Olga! 🤗❤️🛳

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi Yvette! That's awesome! 🤩 We definitely highly recommend it! It was absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for coming along with us and watching! 🤗 ❤️🛳

[@dipatrivedi9009]

Cabo is such a great port. That’s why I had been planning my big milestone bday there for years. But than COVID showed it’s ugly face so Cabo b-day plans went kaput. But I hope to go back. Glad you both enjoyed your visit 😃

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Oh no! Covid, wrecker of all things fun! Hopefully you can reschedule soon! We absolutely loved it! ❤️

[@katiekendrick8866]

So beautiful

Thanks Katie! 🤗❤️🛳

[@tracy1190]

QUESTION: while you guys were enjoying the water at Pelican Beach, did you just leave all your stuff at the beach with no problem? Phones, bags, room key, etc, etc? My husband & I are going for the first time in 2026 & we saw your video and want to do the same! I was just curious about leaving our stuff on the beach while snorkeling in the water. Enjoyed your video! Thanks!!

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi! We did leave items on the beach, but I believe we took all our valuables in the water with us in a water proof bag. I definitely didn't feel uncomfortable in this area but a small waterproof bag is a great option just to be safe! We hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

[@tracy1190]

@@HoffmanHappyTravels Thank you for the tip!

[@chandel19g]

Looks beautiful!! Going on the same itinerary in November.

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi Laura! Yay!!! Cabo was definitely our favorite port but we enjoyed the whole itinerary! We hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳

[@darlenecrone5585]

What company was excursion through? Do you remember name? It looks perfect. Thank you.

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi Darlene! I believe the company is called 'Los Cabos Tamikos Tours'. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

[@washboardjim]

You Two Are Great. Thank you

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Thanks so much James! 🤗❤️🛳

[@canitbechristine]

This is one of the best Cabo videos I've found for showing nature. About how long was the boat tour? First time I've seen your channel. Def subscribing. Going to Cabo in 2023 the same time of year you did this trip so this was great to see.

[@viviennehickey3148]

What did you do with your things while you snorkeled at Pelican Beach? Perspective-wise, how cold was the water in January?

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi Vivienne! We just left our things on the shore over by the rocks. The Pacific water was definitely much chillier the Atlantic or Caribbean water. It was cool but not too bad once you got used to it. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

[@lilymeowington9395]

Omg I’m so excited for you guys to go to Mazatlan!!! I’ve been there 10 times in the last 12 years (not cruising). They have had really hard times with ships not stopping because of violence so I am VERY happy to hear cruises have been stopping. I am going there next month after two years of not going (Covid 😖) and very excited to see how it’s going. I cannot wait to see your Mazatlan video and I really hope you guys enjoyed it ☺️ Mazatlan has a very special place in my heart and is a second home one week out of the year for me. I do have a picture from 6 years ago of a cruise ship ported there, I wonder if I could figure out what type of ship it is!?

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi Lily! Yes! Mazatlan will be our next video and we had such a fun day! We're excited to share our experience and to go back there one day! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳

[@ksessa1010]

The pacific is so cooled, we are spoiled on the east coast

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi Ken! Yes! Definitely very spoiled with the warm ocean water in the East! I definitely won't take it for granted anymore! 😂 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳

[@dougdaniel8549]

Sea of Cortez is not Pacific Ocean but it is only a few hundred yards away.

[@__briaanaa9229]

is this the same excursion as the one that royal carribbean offers on their site ?? any prices differences ?

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi! I don't think Royal Caribbean works with this specific vendor but I am not for sure. Typically going with a third party vendor ends up being cheaper than going with a Royal excursion. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

Thank you so much for this beautiful video. My hubby and I will be taking a 7 day cruise to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in August. Cabo will be one of our stops... after watching this video I'm so exicited and looking forward to be at Cabo. Thank you for sharing the different options of the locals and the exact stops. Quick question: was the snorking included with the boat ride or did you brought your own? and how long was round trip in cabo? we plan to have a 4 hours on the port and we were wondering if that's enought time?

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi! That’s awesome! So glad you enjoyed the video and that you are excited for your visit to Cabo! We brought our own snorkeling equipment but I believe there were people on the beach renting out equipment for an additional cost. I think our boat and snorkel time round trip was around 2-3 hours. We hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳

[@ericramirez3663]

What month did you go in . Is water really cold? 🤔

[@dipatrivedi9009]

You guys definitely need to plan n AK cruise! So much wildlife to see….including killer whales 🐋

Hi Dipa! ❤️ YESSS!!! It is on our to-do list and we will definitely let you and John know when we are so we can all meet up! ❤️

Thanks bleep86! I definitely do not handle cold water well 😂 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳

[@sharoncook9694]

How long was the tour? It looks like one I definitely would like to do!

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi Sharon! I don’t remember exactly how long but it was the majority of the time we were in port. We highly recommend it! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳

[@pryttyfatchick]

Thats awesome! Hahaha excuse me are you using this rock? No? Let me climb my butt up here and bask in the sun!

Great video. What camera are you guys using?

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi Galan Family! We mostly use the Sony ZV1! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳

[@dawnrusso3278]

You know why the seas lion went on the rock because it is so 🥶. And you don't really get used to the water you're just so numb from the cold you don't feel anything 🤣

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Dawn that is so true! 🥶 Pacific swimming is definitely not for me lol But I'm so glad I did because otherwise I wouldn't have see the sea lion! The sea lion was worth freezing for! 🤣🦭🤣

Hi Zoey! The crew on the boat helped us, but there is a slight drop down and step up. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳

[@boomboomboom4160]

hi i was wondering if i can swim a mile in a swimming pool, can i swim from the marina (or the last beach next to it closer to the arch) to lover's beach?

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi! I don't know from their local rules standpoint, but from a safety standpoint I would not recommend it. There is a lot of boat traffic and there is a decent amount of movement and pull in the water. We hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳

[@boomboomboom4160]

@@HoffmanHappyTravels ty for reply. i was thinking of doing same thing to deer island in mazatlan. Is your answer the same for deer island or do you think swimming to deer island from the mazatlan mainland is safer than swimming to the arch? assuming local rules allow.

[@LilZeeka]

Did you rent your snorkel gear there?

[@HoffmanHappyTravels]

Hi Krista! No, we brought our own gear, but you could have rented equipment if you needed too! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
