Tour Overview

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).
