Cabo Kayak & Snorkel Adventure to the Arch with Glass Bottom
Overview
Available languages
2 hours
Mobile ticket
Land's End marks the point where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean, creating one of the most distinctive coastal landscapes in Baja California Sur. The granite formations surrounding the Arch, Neptune's Finger, and Lovers Beach have been shaped over millions of years by geological activity and ocean erosion. Glass bottom kayaks add a unique dimension to the experience by allowing travelers to observe portions of the underwater environment while paddling along the surface. Combined with snorkeling near Pelican Rock's rocky reef habitats, the tour offers the opportunity to experience both the coastline and the marine ecosystems that have made this region one of Mexico's most celebrated natural destinations.
