You can find a variety of local experiences—think sunset cruises, boat tours to El Arco, whale‑watching trips (in season), snorkeling adventures, deep‑sea fishing charters, and onshore tours like guided hikes or eco‑safaris.

Whale watching season runs from mid‑January through March, when whales migrate to breed and nurse. Tours booked in these months offer the best chance to spot humpbacks and gray whales.

El Arco is the iconic rock formation at Land’s End. Most tours include a boat ride from the Marina, passing sea lion colonies. Bring sunscreen and sunglasses- boats can be windy with reflective glare from the water.

Sunset cruises are popular. For wildlife spotting or snorkeling, mid‑morning when seas are calmer and marine life is more active is ideal. Arriving early also avoids midday crowds.

Most boat tours range from 1 hour (short rides) to 3 hours for extended cruises with snorkeling or whale‑watching. Full‑day fishing charters can last from 6 to 8 hours.
