The Experience

What your day looks like

This famous Baja landmark is 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 the place to observe the sea lions colony. We take a break after a while kayaking and go snorkeling. If you haven't been to this spot, you can't say you've been to Cabo. This is surely an unforgettable kayak trip.

Hugo was an excellent guide! He did everything from pickup to drop off at our resort, and everything in between. Hugo took our small group very close to the arch for some beautiful pictures. He's very personable and knowledgeable.

Excellent excursion! Luis was fantastic; his joy was infectious, and he took excellent care of us. We loved kayaking at a nice pace to the Arch (gorgeous!), checking out Lovers Beach and ending with the awesome snorkeling. Highly recommend.

We actually had a pretty good experience with really friendly guides, but it was not the same quality as other tours we did. Also, the "glass bottom" name is misleading in my opinion. The kayaks have little plexiglass windows between your legs that are not at all see through. They are way too scratched. There were no snacks offered to us, just water, but it was cold. The equipment was pretty used and although a chipped paddle isn't that big of deal, it does matter when it comes to snorkel masks. Not a ton to see or at least was visible when snorkeling when we went, part of that is due to the fact that you do the snorkeling on the way back, not to the arches so it's later in the day. Also, the transport van felt pretty rough and crowded. Not a huge deal, but if you're a larger person needing more than a small seat on the bench it could be a big deal. The guides were really nice and so helpful. With ocean waters, I don't think this experience is "easy" though. Be ready to paddle. We were all experienced kayakers, so not a big deal for our crew, but I can see that it might be harder for some people. It's one of the more affordable tours, so that's nice, but I felt like it was obvious with the equipment quality and amenities. Guides didn't make any effort to know our names or offer to take pictures or anything in that regard that other guides we've worked with often do.

Carlos and Emilio were fantastic! Our group of 11 came from a cruise ship and we were running late. They waited for us and made our kayak/snorkel adventure one for the memory books. The views were amazing at arch cape. The group saw a variety of fish snorkeling. They kept us safe in the busy water.

We took this excursion as part of our cruise. This was a great experience! Carlos and Emilio were our guides and they were amazing! They were great with us! We had a group of 11 people and they never let anyone get behind and were awesome with all of us! Big shout out to Carlos and Emilio! Thank you!

Fabulous excursion. Pick up was prompt at our hotel. We loved Pepe and his associate. They were funny and informative. We enjoyed the kayaking to the arch, then stopped on Lover's Beach to snorkel. The fish were amazing. The water was chilly in December so that was the only negative. Would definitely recommend this tour. So much fun and we got some great pictures!
