Kayak Expedition to the Arch of Cabo San Lucas, Lovers Beach & Snorkel - El Arco and the sea lions

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

Review of Cabo’s sunrise kayak tour to El Arco, Lovers Beach, Divorce Beach, and Pelican Rock, with snorkeling, photos, pickup, and practical tips.

“WOW... what an amazing time we had. My husband and I (both 70 yrs old) had never snorkeled or kayaked before. Both Josue and his partner for this excursion (I think his name was Roberto or Rigoberto?) were so patient and helped us every step of the way. They stayed with us the whole time snorkeling to make sure everything went well. When my husband had difficulty with kayaking, they let him ride on the paddleboard and helped me kayak back to the beach. Truly the best guides ever. We will be planning a trip back to Cabo and will definitely want to have these 2 young men be our…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 872 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $99

Review of Los Cabos Power Snorkel Adventure with kayaking, paddleboarding, sea scooters, wildlife, costs, tips, and booking advice.

“The staff, Paco, Fernando and Chewy were all awesome, Sea was calm, and seeing the Arc was cool. unfortunately there were not lots of fish where we were, and getting on the kayak in the middle of the ocean after swimming around for 30 mins is a little awkward. The one disappointing thing was the lack of communication from the staff looking after transportation the driver who picked us up, Gil , was great. Getting back we waited around 45 mins for the bus with little communication and a driver who lacked the personal skills of the first driver. Overall a good experience.”

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

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, 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.”

“Pepe and Carlos were the top reasons why this was such a great day. They picked us up right on time, and greeted us with such a positive vibe of fun and kindness. They watched out for us every step (and splash) of the journey. They truly cared that we were having fun and that we felt safe. They were prepared with great equipment, snacks and water. They made sure we felt comfortable and that we had everything we needed. The paddle boarding was fantastic, and the snorkeling was amazing! Being that close to the arches on just our paddle boards was incredible, and all the fish we saw while…”

Kayak to Cabo’s Arch, Lover’s Beach, sea lions, and Pelican Rock on a guided 3.5-hour tour with snorkeling and hotel pickup.

“This excursion was wonderful from beginning to end. Picked us up at our place, which was a little off the main road, which made it very easy for us. Got to beach, Casey got everything ready to go and then we kayaked to the arches, made a stop at Lover’s Beach, saw hundreds of fish snorkeling and then kayaked back to the beach. Was a breathtaking and fabulous experience all around. Nothing like seeing the arches up close in a kayak! Casey is very knowledgeable about the area and all that Cabos has to offer, and he sent us pictures of us, which was a bonus! Booking the excursion was…”

Review of La Paz’s Balandra and Tecolote adventure, with kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, ceviche, costs, tips, and fitness advice.

“This was an awesome adventure. I would highly recommend this experience. Our group of four had a private tour the entire day. It was the perfect combination of relaxation, adventure, and learning about the native plants and animals. Our guides, Mateo and Felipe were extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife that we saw. Felipe took the time to point out all of the interesting life in the tidepools along our hike. The views on the hike were breathtaking. The kayaking was peaceful and we saw a variety of fish at the snorkel site. At the conclusion of our adventure, our guides set up a tent for shade and provided us with…”

★★★★★★★★★★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!”
