Do I need kayaking or snorkeling experience?

No prior experience required. Your certified bilingual guide will provide instruction and support throughout. The glass-bottom kayak is stable and beginner-friendly, and snorkeling equipment fits all comfort levels.

Is this safe for children?

Children are welcome in groups of up to 4, provided they are comfortable in water and can wear snorkeling gear. Discuss age and swimming ability with your operator at booking to confirm suitability.

What's included in the EUR 378 price?

Price covers hotel pickup/drop-off, certified guide, all snorkeling equipment, glass-bottom kayak rental, and the 3-hour activity. Meals and gratuities are not included.

Why is this better than a motorized Arch tour?

You control the pace and timing, enjoy closer interaction with wildlife, minimize environmental impact, and experience a more immersive connection to Cabo's coastline. The private, human-powered approach also offers a unique perspective unavailable on crowded speedboat tours.

What if the water is rough or conditions are poor?

Tours may be rescheduled or cancelled due to safety concerns (high winds, strong currents). Confirm cancellation and rescheduling policies with your operator; morning departures generally offer the most favorable conditions.

Can I see the Arch clearly from a kayak?

Yes. You'll paddle directly to Land's End and view the Arch from water level. The glass-bottom kayak also provides underwater perspectives unavailable from motorized boats, though sightline quality depends on water clarity.

About this activity

Paddle your own glass-bottom kayak to Cabo's iconic Arch and snorkel at Pelican Rock in this intimate, human-powered adventure for up to four guests. Unlike motorized boat tours, you'll navigate the coastline yourself, spotting sea lions and marine life while maintaining a low environmental impact and enjoying personalized attention from your bilingual guide.

This private adventure combines snorkeling and glass-bottom kayaking in a single experience designed exclusively for your group of up to four guests. Begin with a guided snorkeling session at Pelican Rock before paddling to Land’s End, allowing you to experience Cabo’s marine life before exploring its most famous landmarks.

Unlike traditional Arch tours that rely on motorized boats, this experience launches directly from the beach and uses no boats at any point during the activity. Paddle past the sea lion colony, Lovers Beach, Neptune’s Finger, and the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas while enjoying views through the glass-bottom kayak.

The private format allows for a more personalized experience with a certified bilingual guide, included transportation, snorkeling equipment, and the flexibility to enjoy one of Los Cabos’ most recognizable natural areas at your own pace.

our instructor Noa had so many stories and a heron lifting off right beside the kayak was the highlight, and honestly better than the paddle we did in Paris last year.
