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

Review of Cabo’s glass-bottom kayak and snorkel tour, with Santa Maria and Chileno Bays, hotel pickup, guides, costs, tips, and drawbacks.

“What an excellent tour! We really enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling very much. Maury pointed out sea turtles and David showed us the fish and a sea snake. It was a beautiful trip! I recommend dong the kayak and snorkel as opposed to just snorkeling. Our group was half and half and it was a long time to be just snorkeling. I much preferred the two bays over Los Arcos - fewer people and loved walking in for snorkeling.”

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

Paddle to El Arco in a glass-bottom kayak, snorkel at Pelican Rock, and see sea lions on a private Los Cabos 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!”

“We are still talking about our wonderful trip with Carlos! Definitely a highlight.. He took very good care of us.. two 60yr old women and 29yr old and we kayaked to the arches in spite of the waves. We stopped and swam off the beach en route..he encouraged us to snorkel but was happy to accommodate our desire to just swim..he even brought fresh mangos! He was very helpful throughout the trip..we will definitely look forward to the next time we can come back!!”

6.Private Glass bottom Kayak and snorkel at two Bays

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 35 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $130

Review of Cabo’s private glass-bottom kayak and snorkel tour at Santa María and Chileno Bays, with pricing, timing, transport, and practical tips.

“There was good and bad, but the 5 stars is for them stepping up to good customer service. They gave us a refund because we didn't end up doing either activity (very cold day) and we'd had issues communicating to them and finding them. But the two tour guides (and the office) handled the situation beautifully and should we ever get back to Cabo we will definitely schedule this again!”

7.Clear Kayak at Bacalar Lagoon

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 8 reviews · 2h 30m · from $62Cheapest

Review of Bacalar’s clear kayak tour, with seven-color water, mangroves, wildlife, lunch, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“We hebben een leuke tour gehad. Tobias nam ons mee. Door de doorzichtige kano konden we goed naar de bodem kijken en alles zien. We hadden best wat moeite in de kano om vooruit te komen. Zeker met stroming tegen. Tobias was geduldig met ons, maar bood op een gegeven moment aan om met mij te ruilen. Dan konden de mannen samen in de doorzichtige bood en ik op een solo kano. Dit ging een stuk beter! Los rapidos was leuk. Tobias had een duikbril mee om te lenen. Hij heeft ook onderweg heel veel foto’s gemaakt die we achteraf via whatsapp gekregen hebben. Heel attent!”
