Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Meet your driver at your Los Cabos hotel or cruise ship pier and begin your oceanic odyssey to Medano Beach. The beach is an ideal vantage point to gaze at the iconic El Arco (The Arch), a rugged collection of jagged rocks that protrude dramatically from the calm ocean. 

Sink your toes into the silken sands of the beach and listen to an informative safety talk from your experienced guide. Once you’ve grasped basic paddling techniques, don your life jacket and snorkeling gear and set sail in your glass-bottomed kayak. 

Follow your guide as you maneuver Land’s End, the blissful bay where many of Los Cabos’ legendary landmarks reside. Admire pelicans and diverse sea birds as they soar past, not forgetting to gaze through the transparent boat bottom at shimmering schools of exotic fish. Keep your eye out for the manta rays and sea turtles that also inhabit the waters and paddle past the colony of sea lions lying languidly upon the sun-drenched rocks. 

Gain insight into local ecology and geology as you cruise past El Arco to the secluded Playa del Amor, a romantic and remote beach accessible only by water. Enjoy dramatic vistas of sea-sculpted boulders as you sail past the landmark. 

Arrive at Pelican’s Rock and dock your kayak in order to immerse yourself in the beautiful waters of the bay. Slip on your snorkeling gear and set off in search of lobsters, angelfish, puffers, and schools of stingrays.  

Return to your kayak and paddle around the picturesque Playa del Amor and enjoy a light snack. Absorb the tranquil atmosphere before sliding back into your kayak for the return journey to Medano Beach to board your minivan and venture back to your hotel or cruise ship port in comfort.

Such a beautiful and fun kayak experience!

We loved our kayak trip over to the arch and the beaches with Maury. He was an amazing trip guide and so much fun to be with. I’m 56 and my daughter is 32. We had no issues and felt very capable and safe during our journey. Maury picked us up, and dropped us off. At our hotel Rui Palace. It was so much fun!

And we think Pepe and his partner picture of us safely for the wonderful kayak experience. They were extremely cautious about one of us that was not experienced. They gave us a wonderful safe briefing they gave us sanitize mouthpieces for the snorkeling and they stayed with us right with us when we went out to the arch where the water was a little more rough. They shared the pictures with us and did not charge us which was wonderful they even extended their time with us to help us shop at the market for one hour.Kendra

We were taken care of from the moment we were picked up at hotel. ON TIME!!!!!! Excellent precaution due to COVID, disinfected snorkel mouthpiece, life vest snd safety briefing. Care getting us in the kayak, experienced and novice felt extremely comfortable in the water at the Arch. They airdropped pictures; without charge. Also took time out of their day between tours to let us shop at market for an hour. Please tip generously!!! The men work very hard to make your experience memorable. Dana
