We had an amazing experience! The guides were fantastic. You should know there is No boat or booze. I booked this thinking there was a boat/booze cruise. The experience is beautiful from the beginning to the end. Only thing I would recommend is maybe an ice chest full of alcohol to celebrate at the end.

My family of four (two adults and two late-teen boys) had a fantastic adventure with Luis on the paddleboard and snorkeling trip around the arch! Luis was super-friendly, patient, and skilled. The water was a bit rough, and Luis took great care to make sure we were safe and had a great time.
The snorkeling was really fun, and included close encounters with some sleepy sea lions.
Communication and booking were excellent, and transportation was just as promised.
I highly recommend this trip for an adventurous family!

He’s an incredible guide, and we love knowing that his friendly, patient, and professional approach made you feel safe and comfortable, even with a bit of rough water out there. That’s exactly the kind of experience we aim to deliver every day.
Those close encounters with the sea lions are always such a special highlight we’re glad you got to enjoy that moment together as a family!
It also means a lot to hear that everything from communication and booking to transportation met your expectations. We work hard behind the scenes to make every part of the experience smooth and stress-free.

The guides Emilio and Luis were so helpful with carrying the paddle boards and showing us the best places. This was the perfect adventure to beautiful spots in Cabo San Lucas and we saw amazing fish and sea lions so close to us. The water was nice even in December in the morning.

Luis and Javi were fantastic. It was a first time for half of us on the paddle boards and snorkeling. Everyone was patient and encouraging with us.
Some of the best snorkeling I have ever done, a must do while here. I did it last time and if I come again I will do it again.
Response from Host, Nov 2024

the trip guides were amazing; only wished we could have stopped & walked Lover’s Beach and got a peek of the other side of the Arches out into the vast sea.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for your feedback on the Cabo San Lucas Paddleboard and Snorkel at the Arch tour. We're glad to hear that you found our trip guides amazing! We understand your desire to stop and walk Lover’s Beach and to see the other side of the Arches. Unfortunately, for safety reasons, the Captain of the Port does not allow disembarking at Lover's Beach. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the pleasure of guiding you on another adventure soon!

This is a must do while in Cabo. The ride is short enough for beginners but more than enough for the effort. It was great to see the arch from this perspective instead of sitting in a boat with every other person. It was a little worrisome with all the tourist boats near by, but our guides were experts and knew how to navigate it all. Recommend!
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're delighted to hear that you considered our activity a 'must-do' in Cabo. Providing a unique perspective of the arch is what we strive for, and we're thrilled you enjoyed it more than a traditional boat tour. It's fantastic that you found the ride suitable for beginners yet rewarding for the effort.
We understand your concern about the tourist boats, but we're glad our experienced guides could put you at ease by skillfully navigating the surroundings. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back for more adventures. If there's anything else we can do to enhance your next experience, please let us know.

The High Tide team was very professional and so kind! My tender boat from the cruise I was on came late which made me late to meet up at the meet-up point. The point of contact person from High Tide promptly contacted me and waited for me. I really appreciated their attention and care. My guide and driver, Mike and Javier were awesome too!! Muchas gracias for an excellent experience!!

The guides were great, they explained every landmark that we passed.
We got to enjoy beach time, while we rested and had a lite snack.
I had my first snorkeling experience and it was also awesome! I was little nervous because it the water was really cold; however, once I got all the way in, it was perfect.
My guide was really patient and explained every step in the process, so I felt really comfortable and had a great experience. I got to see a lot of cool fish. However, for some reason many of the photo files were too large to post.
Overall, this was a great experience and I would definitely do it again!

Pepe and Carlos were the top reasons why this was such a great day. They picked us up right on time, and greeted us with such a positive vibe of fun and kindness. They watched out for us every step (and splash) of the journey. They truly cared that we were having fun and that we felt safe. They were prepared with great equipment, snacks and water. They made sure we felt comfortable and that we had everything we needed. The paddle boarding was fantastic, and the snorkeling was amazing! Being that close to the arches on just our paddle boards was incredible, and all the fish we saw while snorkeling were so beautiful. We laughed and smiled so much, it was hard to say good-bye at the end of the day.

We had a great morning paddle boarding out to the arch, then snorkeling at Pelican Rock. Paddleboarding is a really great work out and our very active family enjoyed the challenge. The pick up/drop off at our hotel was a huge help. And when we realized that I had left my underwater camera inside my lifejacket that afternoon, the crew found it and brought it to our hotel! I am very grateful and impressed with the service. I highly recommend!!

This was my first time paddle boarding and it was so much fun! The guides were so informative and hilarious. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I wasn't aware how difficult it was! Overall, the experience was amazing and the views were breath taking so I would definitely recommend it!
