Los Cabos: Glass Bottom Kayak Tour to Arch & Playa del AmorYou’ll paddle out from Cabo San Lucas in a glass bottom kayak with a local guide, spotting sea lions at El Arco and snorkeling among bright fish near Pelican Rock. Feel salt spray on your face, maybe laugh at your own paddling skills—and end up with sandy toes and memories that linger longer than you’d expect.
Santa Maria & Chileno Bay kayak and snorkel tourA kayak and snorkel outing at Santa Maria and Chileno Bay in the Sea of Cortez combines paddling along volcanic cliffs with guided snorkeling in one of Los Cabos' most protected reef zones. The experience runs roughly two hours, includes a certified bilingual guide, all equipment, and round-trip transport from selected areas. Ocean conditions may limit the route to a single bay, though snorkeling and beach time continue either way.Is it for me?The kayaking requires basic fitness and comfort in the water, and paddling a tandem kayak with another person means coordinating rhythm—this is not a solo paddle or a guided tour where someone else does the work. If you have a free morning and want to move between two different reef systems rather than stay in one spot, the route and the guide make both bays reachable in a single outing.
Cabo San Lucas: Kayak & Snorkel to Arch with Marine BiologistYou’ll paddle or kayak across calm morning waters in Cabo San Lucas with a marine biologist as your guide. Spot sea lions near Land’s End, snap photos at the Arch, then snorkel among bright fish at Pelican Rock reef. With snacks and photos included, this tour leaves you feeling like you’ve seen another side of Cabo.

Cabo San Lucas: Kayak to the Arch & Snorkel Pelican RockYou paddle from Empacadora Beach to the Arch of Cabo San Lucas, stop at Lovers Beach and Divorce Beach, then snorkel the Pelican Rock reef. The tour includes all kayaking and snorkel gear, bottled water, a granola bar, and transportation. Small groups mean your guide can actually talk to you instead of shouting over a motor. Plan on four to five hours total.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see the Arch and snorkel without renting a boat yourself or navigating the timing — the small-group format and included gear mean you show up and paddle, while the guide handles the route and the reef identification.
Cabo San Lucas: Snorkeling, Kayaking & Sea ScootersYou're picked up from your hotel, cruise to a secluded cove near Cabo San Lucas, and choose between snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, and sea scooters with expert guides. Equipment and freshly made quesadillas are included. The half-day format means you're back by early afternoon, and the boat's speed gets you to clear water fast instead of a long cruise.Is it for me?Right for travelers who want to try multiple water sports without booking separate activities or renting gear separately — the boat gets you to clear water fast, and the guides handle the logistics so you just show up and choose what to do.
Cabo San Lucas: Private Arch Kayak & Snorkel Tour for 4You’ll launch straight from Medano Beach in Cabo San Lucas with a private guide and paddle glass-bottom kayaks out past sea lions to Land’s End. Snorkel at Pelican Rock where fish swirl below you, then float beneath the famous Arch itself—all at your own pace with friends or family. Expect laughter, salt spray, and moments that stick with you long after you’re dry.
