Reviews
Our guides picked us up at our hotel in Cabo San Lucas at 8:40 am. Since we were there on a Monday in the shoulder season, it ended up just being us and our two guides, Hugo and Louie. They lock any belongings you brought in the van, which worked fine. We took a tandem kayak that had a “glass bottom,” which was a small-to-medium clear plastic portal between your knees. Personally, the glass bottom part didn’t add that much for me, though it was cool to catch glimpses of fish beneath you. Our guides were on paddle boards, and led the way for the ~1 mile kayak out to the arch. On the way out, we got to take a quick photo with a sociable sea lion that jumped into the water and splashed us after the photo op. Our guides pointed out a lot of landmarks, including Lover’s Beach and Pelican Rock.
The arch was very pretty and fairly busy, so after exploring a bit, we headed back to Pelican Rock for some snorkeling. The guides provided us with fins, a mask, and a snorkel and brought us to a protected swimming area. We got to snorkel for a while, and there were a lot of different colorful fish. We also saw a diving bird and a sea lion swimming with us as well, which was novel. The snorkeling masks were also pretty high quality, and I didn’t have any problems with leaky goggles and other challenges I’ve had with similar activities.
When we got our fill of snorkeling, we paddled the rest of the way back to the beach, and our guides dropped us back off at our hotel shortly before noon. The whole thing was well planned and a great experience — definitely would recommend fitting it into your Cabo visit.
The office was very responsive and helped coordinate a pickup. Carlos and Emilio took great care of us.
