Los Cabos Arch and Playa del Amor Tour by Glass Bottom Kayak - Pickup, meeting points, and the first hour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,317 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $95Our pick

Paddle a glass-bottom kayak to Cabo’s Arch, snorkel at Pelican Rock, spot sea lions, and visit Lover’s Beach with hotel pickup.

“Our guides for this kayak/snorkeling trip were awesome? They picked us up at our hotel and took us straight to the beach. They helped us get our kayaks organized. We had 10 in our group. We just wanted to snorkle so one quide went with us and the other guide went with the other group to see the Arch and pelicans, and the two beaches. We had seen them by water taxi the previous day. I highly recommend this tour and the guides. Both were very knowledgeable about the ocean, the landscape and the wildlife we saw. They are everything they say they are in Viator. Thanks, Denise”

Review of Cabo’s Land’s End boat tour, Arch, sea lions, beaches, downtown time, value, boat limits, fees, and booking tips.

“I definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a variety type experience. You get a private van and driver, a private boat ride around the various mountains, and then the driver took us around downtown San Lucas allowing us to stop and eat and shop then returned us to our hotel when we were ready. Great value for a lasting experience.”

“Amazing outing. They picked us up free at our hotel which was at the far end of the resort strip which was nice. The guides were amazing, made sure to take lots of pics for us including pics of each family in our group in front of the arch. Snorkeling was way way better than I thought - huge schools of fish swam around us. After we were done they gave us a ride all the way back. Would definitely recommend. Even better than advertised.”

“We had such a great time on our one-hour boat ride out to the Arch in Cabo! The views were absolutely stunning, and the ride itself was smooth and easy. Our captain was fantastic — super friendly, fun to chat with, and he made sure we got the best angles for photos. He pointed out cool spots along the way and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the scenery. It felt laid-back but still really special, and we never felt rushed. Honestly, the whole experience was just the right mix of relaxing and exciting. If you’re in Cabo, this is a must-do — we’d definitely go again!”

Whale Watching, The Famous Arch and Fast Boat Tour in Los Cabos

6.Whale Watching, The Famous Arch and Fast Boat Tour in Los Cabos

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 693 reviews · 2 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $99

Review of Los Cabos whale watching by fast zodiac, with hydrophones, humpbacks, the Arch, pricing, timing, and practical booking tips.

“We had a great time on this well-organized whale-watching excursion. Check-in was smooth, and the facility was clean, spacious, and easy to find. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging, providing interesting insights into the marine life we encountered. We were fortunate to see several whales along with other large fish, making for an exciting experience. The reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is that the tour was significantly shorter than advertised, with no explanation. The website stated the trip would last 2 hours and 15 minutes, and at check-in, we were told 2 hours and 30 minutes. However, we returned to the dock in under 1 hour and…”
