Cabo Pulmo Dive Expedition: 5 Days in an Underwater Paradise
Cabo Pulmo
Description
Get ready to dive into one of the most vibrant reef systems on the planet. Cabo Pulmo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its biodiversity and its model of marine conservation. This 5-day expedition takes you to the heart of the National Park with 3 full days of guided diving, local cabin accommodation, and full support from the Gluup team.
The expedition begins and ends at the same location: either La Paz or Cabo San Lucas, depending on the group’s agreed meeting point. We’ll pick you up and travel together to Cabo Pulmo to start the adventure. After a welcome dinner and briefing, we prepare for three immersive diving days. Each morning, the dive sites will be selected on-site by the dive master and group, in coordination with the Park’s control tower. Site access depends on daily availability and park regulations, which means flexibility is key.
We end the expedition with free time in La Paz or Los Cabos, depending on your departure airport, and enjoy a final group dinner. If you’re seeking to explore one of Mexico’s most iconic marine ecosystems, this journey is for you.

Itinerary
Day 1: Welcome and Transfer to Cabo Pulmo
We’ll greet you at the airport or hotel in La Paz or Cabo San Lucas, depending on the group’s chosen meeting point. From that moment, our team will accompany you to ensure a smooth start to the expedition. Together, we’ll travel to Cabo Pulmo, a coastal village within the National Marine Park. After settling into your cabin, you’ll have time to meet your fellow travelers. In the evening, we’ll gather for a welcome dinner and expedition briefing with your Gluup coordinator.
Days 2, 3, and 4: Diving in Cabo Pulmo National Park
Each morning, after a light breakfast on board, we’ll head out for diving. Over the course of these three days, we’ll complete up to 8 dives. Dive sites are selected daily with the park’s control tower and your guides, based on availability and sea conditions. As a protected reserve, Cabo Pulmo enforces conservation protocols that make every day unpredictable—but always special. In the afternoons, you’ll return to your cabin to rest, connect with the group, or explore the village.
Day 4 Afternoon: Return to Starting City and Free Evening
After our final dives and lunch, we return together to the original city of departure (La Paz or Los Cabos). Once settled into the hotel, you’ll enjoy a free evening to relax, dine, or celebrate the last night with your group.
Day 5: Farewell and Airport Transfer
After breakfast, we’ll ensure your timely transfer to the airport or next hotel. The expedition ends, but you’ll leave with unforgettable memories of an immersive, responsible, and professionally guided diving experience.

Swimming with the whale sharks was worth every penny! No sunscreen so wear a swim shirt or rent a wetsuit. Our Captain Solomon was fabulous and our guide Nano was fun, energetic and did everything he could to make this a magical experience for everyone on board. We were the first pick up and last drop off which meant for a super long day but highly recommend!!

We took the whale shark watching tour; we had a fantastic day with tons of sharks. Truly a dream. I would recommend it a thousand times over.

This was an amazing excursion. The Captain knew right where to drop you in so you can swim along the whale shark. If you hesitate, you ok be behind. The captain’s mate did a wonderful job of orienting you once you jumped in the water and he took amazing photos and video. I definitely recommend Gluup for this trip.
