4 Snorkeling and Kayaking Trips in Cabo San Lucas Worth Booking

1.Kayak Expedition to the Arch of Cabo San Lucas, Lovers Beach & Snorkel

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 976 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $90Our pick

Paddle a stable Hobie kayak from Empacadora Beach to Cabo’s Arch, Lovers Beach, Divorce Beach, and Pelican Rock. Guides such as Josue, Roberto, Luis, and True lead small groups, point out sea life, and take photos. Sunrise departures offer quiet beaches and striking light.

“We had the BEST time kayaking in Cabo today. It was a very busy day and there were many boats on the water, however, our guides were fantastic and kept all of us safe. Snorkeling was not anything I thought I would be able to do because I have a giant fear of the open ocean and I am claustrophobic. Our guides showed me the proper way to do things and I pushed past my fears. It was INCREDIBLE! Our guide helped get me around and through the water and I got to see and experience things I’ve never experienced before. They went above and beyond today for my family.…”

Paddle a tandem glass-bottom kayak from Santa María Bay toward Chileno Bay, then snorkel from shore with guides such as Marco, Maury, Carlos, and Michael. Expect about three hours, beach launches, included gear, hotel transport, and route changes when wind or waves make conditions rough.

“This was so fun! Nico and Carlos were wonderful and accommodating. They even cater the experience by assessing water conditions and can even cater to the group if you have kids or older people in your group. They are knowledgeable and make you feel safe. Very fun and we saw lots of fish! Snorkeling was awesome”
