Los Cabos: Crystal Kayak to Arch & Lover's Beach Bliss
No address available
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).

Our guide Sol was great. Took very good care of us. New to kayaking and snorkeling but he taught us quickly. Saw lots of tropical fish and sea lions and kayak to the arch and beautiful views. The kayaking is very physical so be prepared about an hour of constant rowing. Was definitely a good experience and don’t hesitate to book. Sol also picked us up at our air bnb and had snacks and waters during the excursion. He was very knowledgeable about the area and fun facts about the beaches

Mauri and Fernando were amazing guides and the hardest workers! We loved the kayaking experience but the snorkeling was AMAZING! They made sure we had everything we needed and gave great tips for an awesome experience not just while on the excursion but also in Cabo generally. I would do this again and again.

Fernando and Mauri were excellent guides! So much fun. We kayaked and saw the arch and a bunch of sea lions. Then we stopped at pelican island, got out of the kayaks, and went snorkeling. It was amazing; we saw all kinds of different fish!

Jose and Pedro were very professional. They were attentive to everyone on the trip. They wanted to make sure we were safe and had an enjoyable time. The photos they took captured our experience beautifully. Thanks for an amazing day.

Excellent kayaking experience around the arches. Loved our guide Mono! He made all the difference and had everything within reach for us and made the experience so much fun. Great instructions without being too instructive! Nice that he told us in the beginning he would take photos for us too, which turned out wonderful. Happy we could stop at lovers and divorce beach while we were there AND were able to go snorkeling close to the arches also. the entire morning was a memory we will never forget.

We did the Kayaking the the arch in Cobo. It was an incredible experience. The snorkeling stop was amazing and we swam with a sealion. Maybe a once in a lifetime experience. Your guides picked us up at our resort and handled everything. Super friendly. They went by Marco Polo but unsure of thier names. Recommend to anyone.

Super fun! Just the right amount of both kayaking and snorkeling. Great adventure. Guides Marco snd Miguel were awesome. So helpful on the trip. Always felt safe too. The ride to and from the beach was equally hospitable. Even picked up some great restaurant recommendations. Thank you!!

I had a fantastic time on our kayaking and snorkeling tour. I've snorkeled in Hawaii and the Caribbean, and the snorkeling we did near Pelican Rock was the best of all of them. We saw a huge variety of gorgeous fish in large schools. Huge thanks to our guides Pedro and Javi, who were friendly & knowledgeable, and helped everyone feel safe and supported. Thanks for my best day in Mexico!!!
