4 calls at Cabo San Lucas between October 2026 and November 2026, usually on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 11:00 AM to 5:15 PM.
The short answer
Disney Magic (Disney Cruise Line) has 4 calls with published times in Cabo San Lucas between October 2026 and November 2026, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. On most of them it arrives at 11:00 AM and sails at 5:15 PM: 6 h 15 min in port (5 hours to 9 h 45 min depending on the date). It never stays overnight.
The pattern is Tuesdays, in between 7:30 AM and 8:30 AM and out between 5:00 PM and 5:15 PM. That is a full-day call: there is time for the Arch in the morning and a longer snorkel trip after. The other 2 calls fall on other days or at other hours; the table below has every date.
Cabo is a tender port: the ship anchors in the bay and the tenders take 10 to 15 minutes to the landing on the south side of Marina Cabo San Lucas, the same marina where our yachts board: each one at its own dock, and your exact dock and a map link come on your boarding pass.
These times are published by third parties (the cruise lines and port calendars) and we checked them on 10 Oct 2026. They change during the season, so confirm them with your cruise line before you book anything around them. Every time here is Cabo time: Mountain Standard Time all year, with no daylight saving.
Your plan on the day
Tuesdays: the ship arrives at 7:30 AM. With the 10 to 15 minute tender and the line, count on being at the dock by 8:00 AM. It sails at 5:15 PM, so plan to be back at the dock by 4:15 PM: that leaves 8 h 15 min on the water.
Leave at 8:00 AM and you are back by 10:00 AM: a short snorkel at Pelican Rock, the sea lions, the Arch, Lover's Beach and back along Médano Beach, 4.7 miles in all. That leaves 6 h 15 min for lunch in town before the tender.
With 8 h 15 min available, the 4 hour trip fits: leave at 8:00 AM, pass the Arch and run up the coast to snorkel Santa María Bay, with a swim stop on the way back, and you are at the dock by 12:00 PM, 4 h 15 min before your time to be back. Note: Santa María Bay is closed for snorkeling for now and we expect it to reopen in November (updated October 10, 2026); on calls before November the snorkel stop is Pelican Rock instead. Ask us.
