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).

We do not use boats, all our water activities start from the beach.

Prices are the same for both children and adults.

Participants must be at least 6 years old. Max. weight on tandem kayaks is 195kg/425lbs.

We recommend the 9 am schedule as in the mornings there is less wind and fewer waves, so the conditions are usually more favorable.

Our activities take place on the beach and there are no locker facilities, however, you can safely leave your personal belongings in the transportation.

The activity lasts 3 hours including round-trip transportation.

All transfers are complementary and optional, therefore the price doesn’t change if you don’t use the transfer option.

Pick-up times are assigned based on the location of your hotel or place of accommodation. Pick-ups start approximately one and a half hours before the scheduled activity time.

As we know, the weather is a factor that can lead us to modify our day. Sometimes we will have to change location, re-schedule, and cancel (the refund will be issued 100% in case of cancellation by us). You will be informed of the options, and you will make the decision. Factors that could influence this are rain, high swell, wind, and jellyfish.

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.

Your safety is our priority. When the conditions are not favorable, due to wind, high waves, or a tropical storm, we offer to change the day of your reservation or make a refund.

For a full refund, you must cancel at least 48 hours in advance of the start date of the experience. No show or last minute cancellation will be charged in full. This experience requires good weather. If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.

    It was fantastic. They were so friendly. I have a disability and they were patient with me. My mom also got sick and they were extremely caring towards her.

    The kayaks don't have a glass bottom, but they were sea worthy and stable in the swells. It was deemed too windy to paddle all the way to the arch, so we had to just stop halfway and snorkel. The snorkel area had good visibility and a nice variety of fish. The guides were very friendly and kept a watchful eye on everyone.

  • A must do excursion!

    Our guides Hugo and Emilio were awesome. The trip was absolutely worth it. We were a small group 3 double kayaks and the hosts on paddle boards. We did the 9am trip it was calm and beautiful. I recommend bringing a small dry bag and some cheap water shoes, though you don't need them. I think the small group made a big difference, there was no pressure or rush, very go with the flow feeling. They were able to get us close to the arches and get some great photo opportunities. Snorkeling was a nice break from the kayaking. We felt safe the whole time without being babysat. Highly recommend

    Two of the best long term experienced guides we had for the Cabo excursion experience. That would be Pedro and Javier with High Tide Adventures. They both were attentive, polite, courteous, and most importantly always looking out for the safety of others. We had a wonderful experience, kayaking and snorkeling near the Lover’s beach area. We would highly recommend them as guides and highly recommend the experience. Don’t miss out!

  • A must try, a must go!
