Tour Overview

The famous Baja Peninsula landmark where the Pacific Ocean joins the celestial emerald waters of the Sea of Cortez. The Arch is not only an ideal habitat for marine birds and multicolored fish, but it is also an incredible place to observe a massive colony of majestic sea lions. This tour will allow you to see beautiful sea life as you paddle through one of the most beautiful bodies of water in the world. You can get a closer look at the sea life in Cabo by snorkeling in the clear turquoise waters.

Soak up the natural beauty and wildlife around the iconic peaks of El Arco on this 3-hour kayak and snorkeling tour (including round trip transportation). With expert guides leading, paddle right up to the rock formations and watch a colony of sea lions sunbathing. Enjoy an ever-changing underwater tableau of marine life through the kayak’s glass bottom. Schools of tropical fish swirl around as you snorkel near Pelican Rock. Cap off this memorable seeing Playa del Amor (Lover’s Beach).

      QUESTIONS:
      • What kind of boat do we use? We do not use boats, all our water activities start from the beach.
      • What time do you recommend 9 a.m. or 2 p.m.? We recommend the 9 a.m. schedule as in the mornings there is less wind and fewer waves, so the conditions are usually more favorable.
      • What happens if we can't get all the way to the arch due to strong winds? Unfortunately, we cannot control the wind. In the event that strong winds prevent us from getting to the Arch, we will spend more time snorkeling to make sure the adventure continues. We will not issue partial refunds.
      • What's your cancellation policy? For a full refund, you must cancel at least 48 hours in advance of the start date of the experience. No-shows or last-minute cancellations will be charged in full.
