Come with us on a Cabo Snorkeling and glass-bottom kayak tour at The Arch, 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 huge colony of majestic sea lions. This is a Cabo Arch Tour with a difference, as our glass bottom kayaks allow you to see stunning sea life as you paddle through one of the most beautiful bodies of water in the world. And you can get an even closer look at the sea life in Cabo by snorkeling in the clear turquoise waters.

Near public transportation

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

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

The price per person is the same for both children and adults.

You have the option to choose your preferred pick-up time within the specified time frame, as it is a private tour.

We recommend the earliest start possible for your tour as historically there are stronger winds early in the afternoon. Due to this, there are times when we can’t reach the arch, only Pelican Rock. Also, because the arch is the most well-known landmark in Cabos, there’s a high number of visitors, and it’s even more crowded in the afternoons.

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.

Since this is a private tour, you can decide whether or not to complete the full activity.

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

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

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.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

So worthwhile. Jose Luis was the best guide: friendly, safe, knowledgeable. If you can, ask to go as early as possible - the later in the morning you go, the more crowded the waterways are. Loved getting on the water, getting in some good activity and pics, and back at the hotel by the pool before noon!

We used High Tide for a kayaking adventure to the arch. Our guide was Emilio. He was very friendly and respectful. He spoke fluent English and gave clear and precise directions. On our next trip to Cabo, we will definitely be using this company and guide again.

A wonderful experience with two of the best long-term experience guides by the name of Pedro and Javier with HighTide Adventures. They picked this up on time they were patient, courteous, very engaging, spoke both English very well. Our experience with them felt safe and in good hands to enjoy the experience with our family of 6 individuals. We would highly recommend them please don’t miss out!!
Sun and Sea in a Kayak, Personalized to Taste and Ability-Level

What impressed me most about Emilio and Javier was how cheerfully and skillfully they provided exactly what was needed and nothing that wasn’t wanted. My teenager and I wound up being their only clients for the morning, so they immediately personalized the day to our ability level and preferences. They were happy to suggest several alternatives and provide instruction, but they also could tell when my teenager and I were happy to just go along as we were (bickering some about who was more effective in the kayak). Rather than stick with the original two bay plan, we kayaked to Los Arcos, hung out on Lover’s Beach, and snorkeled around Pelican Rock. It’s a tour I’ve been on before with another company, years ago, and this was the superior experience.

We had a great time. Jose and Javier were wonderful tour guides. It was a little windy and they kept us safe. So many cool fish to see while snorkeling.
