Do this! A good workout but totally worth it. The crew is amazing, so helpful and we got the most amazing (free) pictures. We kayaked at our pace and got to visit to two beaches. It was a most enjoyable day. Traveling with my 12 year old son and husband .

    Joshua (sp?) was amazing. He took my husband and I kayaking to the Arch. He was very pleasant and informative. He took great pictures as well. He took me snorkeling while my hubby stayed on the beach and I had a great time. I would go back anytime. Best kayak guide ever. Thanks Joshua

    Best morning on the water!

    Paige_P, May 2026
    Absolutely amazing!!! We had the pleasure of Roberto being our guide and he was fantastic. We were lucky to be his only guests on the tour and it’s definitely become a highlight of our trip. We got picked up from our hotel in San Jose and dropped at the beach in San Lucas, then Roberto paddled us out to the arch, took some great photos of us, then on to lovers beach and we had an incredible snorkel around pelican rock. He was so attentive and helpful and is very passionate about what he does. We had THE best morning 😊 Thank you Roberto!

    Response from Host, May 2026

    The pleasure was ours! We’re so honored to know that it became a highlight of your trip. Roberto will love reading this, especially knowing how much you enjoyed the whole experience from start to finish. We’d be happy to have you back anytime—muchas gracias, Paige!

    Joséu and all the other guides are amazing we couldn’t ask for a better way to end our trip to Cabo San Lucas! All the guides were so passionate about making sure we had the best experience possible . Highly recommended

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Makenna! It's an honor to know you had the best experience with us! Your words mean the world to our guides. We hope to see you again soon!

    Awesome way to start your day!

    Dale_D, Apr 2026
    We chose the sunrise excursion and we're glad we did. We used tandem kayaks; my spouse and I in one, our adult kids in another. Our two guides were very helpful, friendly, and focused on our safety. We paddled out to the arch, stopped at Lover's beach for a walk and a swim. We also climbed on top of huge boulders to get a perfect picture in the ocean spray. We were back at our hotel by 9am, just in time for breakfast.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Hola Dale, Sunrise really has its magic—sounds like you made the most of it. We’re glad you got to share it as a family and enjoy all those moments along the way. Thanks for coming out with us and for sharing your wonderful review! Come back soon!

    Fun group activity

    Brandon_B, Apr 2026
    Was a great time. First time booking thru Viator, and it was a breeze walking here from our cruise ship (about 5-10 min walk). I texted them via WhatsApp (super common in Mexico) to let them know we were a bit late disembarking and it was a very relaxed start to the event. Meeting place is near Enrique's Place (taco stand).

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Hola Brandon, Glad to hear everything felt easy from the start and that you had a great time with the group! Thanks for sharing those helpful details—it makes a difference for future guests. We appreciate your review! Keep enjoying your vacations.

    Great kayak outing

    Tom_B, Apr 2026
    Highly recommend this. The guides were attentive, helpful and informative. Felt good to be on the water to see the arch. A short walk from cruise tender port to the beach meet up. Head toward exit, turn left follow road around the Marina to the beach.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Hola Tom, Thanks for the recommendation! We’re glad you enjoyed being out on the water and that our team made the experience smooth and informative for you. We also appreciate you sharing those helpful directions—it’s great for future guests. We hope to have you back with us again soon. Take care.

    More adventurous than expected, in a good way

    Roan_O, Apr 2026
    Josua infused the outing with a real sense of adventure. Snorkeled with a sea lion for first time in my life! Snorkel was better than expected but for my daughter the highlight was the “roller coaster” conditions created by swell around the Arch area. In all cases Josua made us feel safe while keeping the sense of adventure alive. Sunrise is worth getting up for!

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Hola Roan, Thanks for sharing! We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed the adventure—snorkeling with a sea lion is definitely a special moment! Josue will love hearing that he kept things exciting while making you all feel safe throughout the tour. We hope to have you back out on the water with us again soon. Saludos!

    Great day kayak/snorkeling in Cabo

    Matthew_W, Mar 2026
    Pablo picked us up from our condo and gave us a fantastic informative tour entire to the port. Roberto met us and led us to Lovers and divorce beach at the Arch’s. We ventured there for a while and then went snorkeling where we saw many amazing colorful fish as well as an octopus. It was a wonderful adventure which I highly recommend. When done, Pablo was there waiting for us and again made the return trip so pleasant.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Hola Matthew, Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review! We’re so glad you had such a great day out on the water and got to see so much marine life—including an octopus, which is always a special sight. Pablo and Roberto will be happy to know they helped make the whole experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. We truly appreciate your recommendation and we hope to have you back with us again on your next visit. ¡Saludos!

    Wendy_J, Mar 2026
    Incredible kayaking and snorkeling experience at sunrise! Joseu was the absolute best. We felt very safe the whole time, even in some of the stronger currents. Joseu also spent so much time helping and guiding me when we were snorkeling. This was one of our favorite activities in Cabo! Thank you, Joseu!

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Hola Wendy, We’re so glad this became one of your favorite activities and that you felt safe and well guided by Josué! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful review. We hope to have you paddling with us again soon! Take care!

    Joshua (sp?) was amazing. He took my husband and I kayaking to the Arch. He was very pleasant and informative. He took great pictures as well. He took me snorkeling while my hubby stayed on the beach and I had a great time. I would go back anytime. Best kayak guide ever. Thanks Joshua

    Fabulous Experience

    Meagan_W, Mar 2026
    This was an amazing experience. We kayaked to the arch and then to a beach for snorkeling. The swell were very high so our guide stayed with us and guided our snorkeling adventure. Josue was our guide and he was fabulous!

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Hola Meagan, Thanks for taking the time to share your experience! We’re glad everything came together for a great day on the water and that you felt supported throughout. Josue will love hearing your kind words, we appreciate you. Come back soon!

    Such a great experience...

    Tammy_R, Mar 2026
    Such a great experience from pickup to drop off. Both drivers were lovely and Joséu, our guide, was fantastic. Seeing the watch by kayak was much better than being on one of the large boats full of people. We got much closer and Joséu took photos for us. Snorkeling was also great. Could not be more pleased!

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Hola Tammy, It has been our pleasure! So happy to hear everything went smoothly from start to finish! Your review means a lot to us, thank you so much! See you soon.

    Kayaking AND Snorkeling...WooHoo!

    Carson_B, Mar 2026
    Well organized and a great combo of activities. Just the right amount of kayaking for those in mediocre shape or for someone with a weak partner. The leaders were very efficient getting the kayaks in and out of the light surf so that everyone was safe and didn’t take an unexpected swim. We saw plenty of fish around Pelican Rock and the leader pointed out a moray eel poking out of his rocky hideaway. They sent great photos of us in front of the arch a couple days later

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Hola Carson, Sounds like everything came together just right, and it's great to hear you enjoyed the marine life and the photos as well. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and we thank you for choosing us to spend the morning with you! ¡Saludos!

    First time kayaking fun!

    Tammie_R, Feb 2026

    TEN STARS! Can’t recommend enough

    Mary_W, Feb 2026
    I admit, I was nervous when I saw the waves on the ocean! I’m solo and have never kayaked or successfully snorkeled. Our tour guides Roberto and Josue were AMAZING!!! I fell way behind on the way to the arch while the three other kayaks eventually disappeared ahead. Josue stayed right beside me and was so kind and reassuring. The photos were the icing on the cake! So many tours you have to pay a ton of money for professional photos. I cannot believe what an amazing deal this is. I want everyone I know to do this adventure! It was so fun! So many fish my while snorkeling and we even swam above three sea lions. Thank you all so much!!! These memories will be with me forever.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    What an honor to know that we helped create such memories! Thank you so much for sharing this, Mary—it really means a lot. We’re especially happy you felt supported the whole way through. Josue and Roberto will love knowing they helped turn those nerves into such a fun and memorable experience. It sounds like an incredible day out there, and we’re so grateful you chose to share it with us. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

    Best tour ever!!!

    Kelli_T, Jan 2026
    Jam packed fun! We couldn’t believe how much fun was packed in to the morning. Great workout and could get into places the boats couldn’t.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thank you! We love hearing that. Our goal is to make every morning adventure fun, active, and full of great moments. Being able to access special spots that boats can’t reach definitely makes the experience even more unique. Glad you had such a jam-packed morning!

    Awesome

    Chris_G, Jan 2026
    Little cold in the morning, but that was a plus for us we had a private tour,he was excellent, and very helpful, and very memorable, thanks again

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Kayak snorkelling tour

    Art_F, Jan 2026
    Brilliant. All the stars. Highly recommend. First the arches by kayak then snorkelling. Our guide knew exactly where to find the octopus and the fish and all the best things. This was a fantastic morning and we whole heartedly recommend this tour. True Baja knocked it it way out of the park. You should definitely book this excursion. Thanks so much for such a beautiful morning.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    We’re so happy you enjoyed the experience and that our team helped make your morning special. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again soon!

    Great experience; Highly recommended

    John_M, Jan 2026
    Excellent experience! We went on the 6:30 am excursion. Josue and Roberto were great tour guides and showed us a hidden beach, the famous Cabo arch, and showed us sea animals while snorkeling. Very well organized, on time and efficient. Plus you get an included pick up and drop off at your hotel which was great and very punctual. We were back at our hotel by 9:30 am and had the whole rest of the day to enjoy. 5 star experience!

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thank you for the amazing feedback! We’re thrilled you loved the early adventure and that Josue and Roberto made it such a memorable experience. We truly appreciate your 5-star support and can’t wait to welcome you back!

    A perfect Cabo outing!

    Laura_B, Jan 2026
    Wonderful! Josue and Roberto were knowledgeable and fun. I would do this again and again. The snorkeling! So many fish and 4 octupi!

    Gorgeous Sunrise!

    Susan_F, Jan 2026
    This was one our most fun adventures during our visit! Joseu was an excellent guide. We kayaked, watched the sunrise at Lover's Beach, kayaked to the arch, saw our favorite sea lions lounging on the rocks, then snorkeled. So many fish in the area! I highly recommend this excursion- go early in the morning.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    The early start is awesome that gives you an opportunity to see the sun rise. From pick up and drop off our drivers were great . Our tour guides were fantastic taking us to all the places they described. They provided history of the area and guided us around to some great snorkeling spots. Definitely would recommend this group to anyone.
