Arch & Lover’s Beach with 3 Bays

For half-day kayaking and snorkeling tours, there are the popular Arch & Lover’s Beach tours. Glide your way past the famous El Arco (The Arch) in Cabo San Lucas and follow it up with a snorkel out to Neptune’s Finger.

If you prefer a more reclusive (yet close & convenient) kayaking & snorkeling adventure. Discover the natural splendor and diverse wildlife of El Arco on a kayak and snorkeling tour from Los Cabos. Soak up the sunshine as you follow a knowledgeable guide to the iconic rock formations of El Arco on kayaks, greeting a languid colony of sea lions as you paddle past. Gaze at a transient tableau of tropical fish through your glass-bottomed kayak and submerge yourself in the shimmering seawater when you snorkel near Pelican Rock. Conclude your enchanting excursion as you kayak past Playa del Amor, and absorb the amorous atmosphere of the secluded spot.

Kayaking in the Estuary

This is an exceptional kayaking tour through the San Jose del Cabo estuary and bird sanctuary. Five minutes from downtown San Jose is a peaceful area filled with 200 species of exotic birds such as egrets, herons and brown pelicans, and many native and migratory birds. Sunset is the most scenic and picturesque time to visit. Includes kayaks, all gear, drinks, and park fees.

About the estuary: The estuary is the largest body of fresh water in southern Baja, and is protected by Mexican law as a natural preserve and sanctuary for hundreds of species of tropical and migratory birds, and for many species of marine life, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. The estuary at San Jose del Cabo is an ever changing environment: water levels rise and fall with the season and the tide and salinity levels also change. The estuary is ringed by tall Tlaco palms, a species that is common to this and a few other wetlands of southern Baja and over millions of years has adapted to withstanding the occasional flood conditions.

Chileno and Santa Maria

Opt for an active shore excursion in and along the clear waters off Los Cabos with a kayaking and snorkeling adventure. Venture into the protective bays of Chileno and Santa Maria in a single or tandem kayak, then dip into the sea to snorkel among elaborate coral formations and loads of colorful fish.

Discover the natural splendor of Los Cabos’ blissful bays on this snorkel and kayak adventure. Kayak in the pristine bays of Santa Maria and Chileno with an experienced guide, discovering tropical fish and coral gardens as you plunge into the water with snorkel equipment. 

Cabo Pulmo

It’s not quite a 2 hour drive to the small community of Cabo Pulmo, designated a national marine park. Begin exploring by kayak in the beautiful blue waters of Cabo Pulmo Bay. Along the way stop at La Serenita beach for snorkel time. It’s a protected area so the fish and marine life tend to be in abundance! Cabo Pulmo has the largest variety of species of underwater life in the entire Los Cabos area. 

Located approximately 60 miles north of Cabo San Lucas, Cabo Pulmo has been aptly described as “the aquarium of the world” by conservationist & explorer Jacques Cousteau. American author John Steinbeck describes Cabo Pulmo as “teeming with fauna” and details the “electric colors” of the reef in his book “The Log from the Sea of Cortez”.

Exploring Your Adventure Destination

Your Cabo San Lucas vacation is sure to consist of plenty of fun and excitement, but how about adding a touch of adventure as well? For those who can’t shake that adrenaline bug, consider booking an exciting couples’ excursion, such as zip-lining through the jungle or setting sail on an intimate catamaran cruise, to make the most out of your adventure destination.
