About this activity

This private adventure combines snorkeling and glass-bottom kayaking in a single experience designed exclusively for your group of up to four guests. Begin with a guided snorkeling session at Pelican Rock before paddling to Land’s End, allowing you to experience Cabo’s marine life before exploring its most famous landmarks.

Unlike traditional Arch tours that rely on motorized boats, this experience launches directly from the beach and uses no boats at any point during the activity. Paddle past the sea lion colony, Lovers Beach, Neptune’s Finger, and the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas while enjoying views through the glass-bottom kayak.

The private format allows for a more personalized experience with a certified bilingual guide, included transportation, snorkeling equipment, and the flexibility to enjoy one of Los Cabos’ most recognizable natural areas at your own pace.
