Paddle from Cabo San Lucas Beach to El Arco, snorkel at Pelican Rock, see sea lions, and enjoy hotel transfers on a three-hour morning tour.

“We had a great morning paddle boarding out to the arch, then snorkeling at Pelican Rock. Paddleboarding is a really great work out and our very active family enjoyed the challenge. The pick up/drop off at our hotel was a huge help. And when we realized that I had left my underwater camera inside my lifejacket that afternoon, the crew found it and brought it to our hotel! I am very grateful and impressed with the service. I highly recommend!!”

I felt so accomplished:) Such a sweet memory.”
