“From pickup to drop off at our hotel, Luis provided top notch service and hospitality! The tour started the minute we were in the van with facts and info about all of Cabo. He did all the heavy lifting, all we did was hop on and off the kayak- and paddle of course. Kayaked right up to the arch and he took our picture- no obstructed views full of other boats or tourists (we went in the morning before it got too busy). Went ashore Lovers beach and walked around and took pictures. Went ashore again near Pelican Rock and snorkeled for about 45min. Visibility was great! Saw tons of…”

2.Kayak Expedition to the Arch of Cabo San Lucas, Lovers Beach & Snorkel

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 976 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $90

Paddle to Cabo’s Arch, visit Lovers Beach, and snorkel at Pelican Rock on a small-group sunrise kayak tour with photos included.

“Amazing outing. They picked us up free at our hotel which was at the far end of the resort strip which was nice. The guides were amazing, made sure to take lots of pics for us including pics of each family in our group in front of the arch. Snorkeling was way way better than I thought - huge schools of fish swam around us. After we were done they gave us a ride all the way back. Would definitely recommend. Even better than advertised.”

3.Cabo San Lucas Glass Bottom Kayak Tour and Snorkel at Two Bays

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 628 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $100

Review of Cabo’s glass-bottom kayak and snorkel tour at Santa María and Chileno Bays, with guides, costs, timing, safety, and practical tips.

“The best part about this experience was that the boats and other tour companies could not get as close as we could on our kayaks to the arch and the sea lions. The water for snorkeling was crystal clear and there was abundant sea life. Rock formations were beautiful. The water and the marina is a little choppy. Consider this if you get seasick. Our tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Maury & Javi we will see you next time!”

5.Private Yacht Cruise 4 Hour- Snorkeling & Paddle Boarding

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 74 reviews · 4 hours (approx.)

Review of a private four-hour Cabo yacht cruise with snorkeling, paddle boarding, sea lions, snacks, drinks, and Santa Maria Bay.

“We rented the private yacht for our group of 8. The boat was in great shape and was plenty big for our groups size. The crew was awesome, very knowledgeable, attentive, and accommodating. We wanted to add an extra hour on the boat (an extra $100 an hour) to do more sightseeing and they accommodated our request. It was an awesome day at sea and one of our best days on our trip in Cabo.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 64 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.)

Paddle a glass-bottom kayak to Los Cabos Arch, snorkel at Pelican Rock, and spot sea lions on a private morning tour.

“So worthwhile. Jose Luis was the best guide: friendly, safe, knowledgeable. If you can, ask to go as early as possible - the later in the morning you go, the more crowded the waterways are. Loved getting on the water, getting in some good activity and pics, and back at the hotel by the pool before noon!”
