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.

Luxury Catamaran Whale Watching Cabo San Lucas

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.

Hacho was an amazing guide!

Hacho was an amazingly attentive and kind tour guide! He took us around the shores of Cabo and gave us history of the sea and wildlife around us. Hacho offered snorkels and any equipment and beverages he had while we swam. Hacho slowed down the boat when any of us took pictures to ensure our safety! I highly reccomend this private tour, it is worth everything and was the highlight of our trip.

Great experience

Very pleased with this tour. I highly recommend Cabo Trek. The booking is simple, the cost is reasonable, the staff are pleasant, professional, helpful and knowledgeable. Our tour guide was Andrea unfortunately I don't remember the captains name. Safety and an enjoyable experience were a priority. It took a while but we did see whales and even dolphins jumping and frolicking. A highlight was 2 humpbacks that often breached together. So much fun Thank you Cabo Trek for a wonderful experience

Carmen_A, Apr 2026

Beautiful day at sea!

We had such an incredible snorkeling experience! Our guide Miro and the captain Jonathan were an incredible team who provided great history of the area and a plentiful snorkeling spot. I was shocked at how many fish there were, even in the afternoon, and we got lucky enough to see some whales from the boat this late in April. I would absolutely use this dive shop for more snorkel and SCUBA experiences!

Beautiful Cabo Boat Tour

We had a fantastic time with Alex and La Isla tours. We stopped in Cabo as part of our cruise and the tender to the port did take longer than I'd anticipated, but they were able to push our reservation time out to accommodate us. We highly recommend this private tour if you're in the area!
