What's included in the tour?

Glass-bottom kayak rental, snorkeling gear, life jacket, guide, and hotel/meeting-point transport. Snorkeling at Pelican Rock is part of the itinerary.

Do I need to be a strong swimmer?

No. Glass-bottom kayaks are stable and self-contained. Snorkeling is included but optional; your guide can keep you in shallow areas.

What will I see underwater from the glass bottom?

The glass bottom reveals the sandy seafloor, rocks, and some smaller fish. Larger reef life and tropical species are best observed during the snorkeling portion at Pelican Rock.

Can I see El Arco (The Arch) up close?

Yes—you'll paddle directly beneath it. The granite formations are the tour's centrepiece, and guides point out Neptune's Finger and Lovers Beach along the way.

What's the best time of day to book this tour?

Early morning (7–9 AM) offers the calmest waters, clearest visibility, and fewer crowds. Water tends to roughen in the afternoon.

Is this tour affected by weather or sea conditions?

Yes. Tours may be rescheduled or cancelled in rough seas or high winds. November to April provides the most stable conditions.

About this activity

Paddle through Cabo's iconic Land's End on a glass-bottom kayak, gliding beneath granite cliffs and the famous Arch where two oceans meet, then snorkel Pelican Rock's vibrant reef. This 2-hour adventure combines above-water geology with underwater marine life in one of Mexico's most dramatic coastal settings.

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.

our instructor Beatriz was brilliant and a glassy inlet with nobody else around was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar paddle we tried in Cancun.

our instructor Noa really knew their stuff and drifting past the cliffs at sunset was the highlight. On a rainy sunday so it wasnt too busy. Miles ahead of a similar paddle we tried in bali, and good as a half-day option, and paddled maybe 8km. Would book again no question, loved it
