Have underwater photos taken of your scuba trip among the eels, turtles and bull sharks in the marine park formed around this mesmerizing coral reef.

Home to a glorious national marine park, Cabo Pulmo is a gorgeous setting. Many tour operators are active in this beautiful part of the world, taking holiday makers on diving trips around a coral reef that is 20,000 years old. Spend days exploring the varied aquatic life dwelling around the colourful reef.

Get to know the Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park through its adventure centres. Among the best-known operators is Cabo Pulmo Diving, which hosts explorations around the shallow reef to see vast schools of fish. Spot the puffer fish, manta rays and sharks on your trip with these Dutch and Spanish PADI-qualified instructors.

You can also take an adventure with Cabo Pulmo Watersports, which specializes in bull shark diving and underwater photography. Find out about the range of diving sites in the national park, where you’ll spot leopard groupers and dog snappers among the turtles and sharks.

Go snorkeling above the reef with the Cabo Pulmo EcoAdventures group to spot an array of tropical fish. Among their unforgettable activities are whale-watching, rancho tours and trips to the hot springs in Sierra de la Laguna mountain range, a little inland in the southern part of the Baja California Peninsula.

Some guides will take you out on boats to follow whales and swim with sea lions and turtles. Travel through the park and do some sunbathing and picnicking on Mermaid Beach. Bring your own goggles and mask and swim in the clear, warm water.

Fly to one of the airports in Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo or La Paz and rent a car to reach the park. Other major destinations in the region include Buenavista, Los Barriles and El Cardoncito. With a range of tour operators from which to choose, Cabo Pulmo is all about enjoying the reefs and beaches.
