Tour to Arch in the only Clear Boat in Cabo Cruise Hotel PICKUP!

Enjoy the most popular experience in Cabo in our 100% transparent boat! A unique experience in the world where you will get to know the famous arch, the incredible rock formations, tropical fish, reefs, the love and divorce beach, world-renowned beaches, among many other things. A signature landmark of Los Cabos, El Arco de Cabo San Lucas—known locally as simply “El Arco” or “the Arch”—is a limestone arch carved by time, tide, and wind. The natural attraction runs runs down to the water’s edge at Land’s End, the southern tip of Cabo San Lucas (which itself is at the southern end of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula) and into the Sea of Cortez. From a distance, the rock formation looks like a dragon; up close, the arch frames sky, sea, and sand for prime photos. Located off the coast of Cabo San Lucas, Pelican Rock features dramatic rock formations and a small, gravelly beach that's often crowded with snorkelers, swimmers, scuba divers, and cliff jumpers.

What are people saying about Bay of Cabo San Lucas

Cabo San Lucas Short Snorkeling Tour with Divemaster Guide

Bradley_S, Jul 2026

This is THE Cabo snorkeling tour!

Amazing staff, great snorkeling venue (saw more fish than I can recall with any other snorkeling tour), and attentive treatment made this tour a clear MUST DO for family visitors to Cabo. Our guide, Polo, helped us really enjoy our time in the water and was extraordinarily knowledgeable and patient. The equipment was up to date and clean. A terrific value for money as well. For snorkeling in Cabo - this is the ONE!

Excellent tour with The Boss

Super clean boat with a captain who speaks very good English. Loved the tour and all the stops with seals and fish that came right up to the boat.

Cabo San Lucas Luxury Catamaran Whale Watching

Diane_O, Mar 2026

Definitely do it!

We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. My husband was worried about seasickness which made us decide to take this catamaran ride to see whales. And, indeed, we did!! None of the boats can get too close to the whales for environmental and safety reasons but one whale happened to raise its tail above water right in front of us! The crew and staff were very good, experienced and helpful. Checking in/out was easy and the pickup and drop off was super easy. I would recommend this tour.

Cabo Pirate Adventure: Family Sunset Dinner & Show

Maybe not for little kids

This was very entertaining! I loved it, my SIL who had a 2 and 6 year old didn’t. The end of the show there is some fire which made her nervous. The biggest drawback is that you’re sitting on a bench without tables while you eat so my SIL didn’t eat because she had to help the kids. So I’d say not for little kids but fine for those who are independent. I think it would be just as fun without dinner. I would do this activity again
