Hmm...we can’t seem to find this place. Please check the spelling, or choose another location.

This activity will end right where it started.For a cruise ship passenger: Once you arrive at the dock walk to the cruise ship terminal, cross it, and you will be in Plaza Gali parking lot just in front of Sandos Finisterra hotel, on the exit of the parking lot there is an Oxxo (convenience store) we can meet you there. We do offer pickup in San José del Cabo, Cabo San Lucas, and the corridor, we do not provide pickup for hotels outside of the touristic area (Pacific side) like Hard Rock, Diamante, Nobu that are 30-40 min away from Cabo San Lucas area or East Cape area that are 30-40 min away from San José del Cabo area like Four seasons, for those hotels we set a meeting point. Same with Airbnb, if Airbnb is in the tourist area, we do offer pickup. If Airbnb is outside of the tourist area, we set a meeting 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.

Not for beginners
Saro_K
, Apr 2022
Booked this for a carnival cruise to Cabo. The meeting point is simply the OXXO about a 5-10 min walk from the cruise terminal and very easy to get to. The group was running late about 15min and they were really good about notifying me to warn me. Two friendly guys picked us up along with two other couples. A 2 min drive later (or a 10min walk to the beach) and we arrived. They offered to store our belongings in the van or we can take them with us kayaking but warned us that things do fly out. They gave us snorkels, a mask, flippers, and a life jacket. Very minimal teaching was provided for the kayak so I would not suggest this for beginners. Two-man kayaks with "glass bottoms" which really is the divet in the kayak you can keep your belongings in. Don't expect to see much through it. Admittedly the kayaks were really sound, though the paddles seem a little worn out. From the beach, you kayak about a mile out to the open ocean. You go all the way to the arch. Not only do you have to watch out for waves, and rough waters when I went, but you also enter the most touristy part of all of Cabo with an untold number of boats, mini yachts, and water taxis all in the same area. Huge waves and wakes to deal with, along with trying to maneuver around these things. If you are an experienced kayaker, this was a really awesome experience. But if not, I don't recommend trying it

Hi Saro, Thanks for taking the time to write this review The day you join us on the tour we had 3 cruise ships at the port (fortunately not common), because of that the bay was very busy (is the most popular place in Cabo, we do have traffic, but if you add the 3 cruise ships it was a lot, am agree with you, unfortunately, we can not control the number of persons in the bay, but is a fact that is less crowded on the 9 AM tour always, is the schedule that we always recommend) The wind is also stronger at the 2 pm tours 80% of the times. We are happy you consider it an awesome experience, we look forward to hosting you on a less windy and crowded day so you can experience the relaxing tour we deliver when weather conditions allowed us to do. Best Regards HT Team

The guide Marco was fantastic. It was a workout to paddle to the arch but glad we had good weather on our day to experience it. Like so many popular destinations, the crowded condition tended to reduce the fun.

Fun Experience
chris_e
, Apr 2022
The glass bottom kayak tour was fun. Not really any use of the glass bottom kayak part as we saw no fish in it. But kayaking to Lands End, the Cabo Arch and Lovers Beach was amazing. we did stop to snorkel and the sea life was amazing. So many fish to see and touch. The tour guides were funny, outgoing and knowledgeable. Definitely an up close way top experience the sites that you don't get from a standard boat ride.

Super easy to book, and pick up was on time, and simple! The tour guides were fun and engaging, and made it even better. The weather was pretty choppy but we still had a great time seeing all the sights and the arch is so worth it.

Don’t go in April. Or with kids.
Julia_K
, Apr 2022
I specifically asked if this was appropriate for kids and was told absolutely. Dear reader, it was not. My husband and I didn’t realize how hard the paddle would be with kids (9 and 11– both athletes who are usually up for challenges. They climbed Mt. Masada in 101 degree temps when they were 7 and 9). Even the adult couples struggled. Maybe if there was no wind and zero waves it wouldn’t have felt like a punishment? The glass bottoms were a disappointment. You can’t see a thing. Literally just for marketing. Our guide was nice but he stayed ahead with the only boat that could keep up with him. They can’t control the weather but I will say that I don’t recommend going in April. Water was frigid. Not a single person in our group could stay in the water for more than a minute and many couldn’t even go past their knees. I saw, like 3 fish, before my body started shutting down and I began hyperventilating from the cold and I had to get out. But getting out was almost as bad bc being wet in the wind was freezing. Then my kids were so cold that the paddle back was even worse. My son’s lips were blue.

Hi Julia We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy our tour, according to your guide he felted that your husband and daughter did enjoy the activity, hopefully, our guide is correct. Our activity is for Kids as well as adults, 70% of our customers are families with kids. Your kids are athletes as you mention, however, it was their first snorkel experience ever, and yes, the day that you had your tour it was windy and we had big waves due to a polar storm in the area. Our guide Marco helped your daughter on the snorkel part, she was a little scared and after the snorkel, she smiled at him and thanked him, she told him she enjoyed it a lot. The group snorkeled for about 15- 20 minutes. as you can read on your voucher we do offer wetsuits under request and free of charge, is always a good idea to request them in cold weather. you had 2 guides, one in front of the group leading the group and the other one at the end, Paco, the guide that was at the end stayed really close to you all the time. Weather is not always like the day you went in April, in fact, it can vary all the time but usually, Cabo is a sunny place. Once again, an apologize for the discomfort you had on our tour, hopefully, we can host you again on a warmer day. Regards HT Team

Loved it! A must do when you're in Cabo
Solianna_H

I loved the kayaking! It was a little hard because it was a bit choppy but if you can, go in the morning when the waves aren't so intense. The guides are super down to earth and will help you every step of the way. The snorkeling was also incredible. There are many varieties of fish and they are pretty easy to see because the water is so clear! Definitely a must do when you're visiting.
