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).

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.

    Posting the day after our experience and unfortunately can't remember the names of our guides. Both were great and we felt very safe paddling out with some slightly larger waves. Loved the view of the arch! The snorkeling on the way back may have been the high point. Great visibility on our day in the water. I liked getting out and doing the paddling.as opposed to just taking a motor boat out.

    Amazing experience! They picked us up from the hotel, took us to the beach, briefed us and provided snorkeling gear. We saw many schools of fish when we snorkeled near Pelican rock. We were accompanied by some seals who were swimming next to us. Feeling grateful to be able to witness the beauty of the area. I recommend taking hat and shades. Better to leave valuables/wallet in the hotel just to be carefree.

  • Great tour highly recommend!

    Great tour. Be prepared to work a little! You kayak about a mile up and back. Amazing scenery and you get to jump from a cliff into the water if you want!
