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.

The route moves fast enough to feel the rush but stays grounded in the landscape: century-old cactus, Baja wildlife and the ocean view at the end.Is it for me?Book the ATV Single if you want to operate your own machine the whole way; choose ATV Double if you'd rather ride as a passenger or want to share the experience with someone else; pick Sunset ATV if you're free in the late afternoon and want the ride to end as the light fades over the ocean.

You can add a beach landing for an extra cost, with return times at 1:15 p.m., 3:15 p.m., or 4:15 p.m., subject to weather.Is it for me?Book this shared tour if you want the bay's main sights—El Arco, Pelican Rock, the sea lions—without arranging a private boat; the fixed schedule and included guide handle the navigation and timing, so you step on board and the route unfolds.
Cabo San Lucas: El Arco Boat Tour & Sea Lion ColonyYou board at Dock #1 on the marina, spend 45 minutes circling El Arco and five other landmarks with a bilingual guide, see sea lions and fish through the glass-bottom window, and return to the same dock.
