Full description

The Sea of Cortez is a huge and beautiful body of water and offers many wonderful adventures for the adventurous. Today, you can experience the best of the "Arch" from a glass bottom kayak! The Arch is a geologic landmark where the Pacific Ocean joins with the golden green waters of the Cortez Sea. As you kayak around, you'll have the chance to experience a wide range of marine life that calls this home. From great birds living above the arch, to the seemingly endless variety of multicolored fish below, you'll be amazed at all the life that is teeming here. You'll even have a chance to go past a sea lion's colony. See if you can get them to talk! After kayaking around, you may be able take a scenic walk along Lover's Beach, if the port captain permits (sometimes high swell makes it unsafe), and cross to the other side to discover why they call it Divorce Beach! If the conditions are right, you'll even have a chance to snorkel around Neptune's Finger or Pelican's Rock. These are an interesting area of hard and soft corals, sea fans, sponges and plenty and plenty of fish, tuna, shark, manta ray and turtles!

Not allowed

Know before you go

  • Participants must be at least 6 years old.
  • Max. weight on tandem kayaks is 195 kg/425 lbs.
  • This activity is not apt for individuals with back problems, expectant mothers, or serious medical conditions.
  • Please note that this tour is not wheelchair accessible.
  • Choose between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. (We recommend the 9 a.m. tour as historically there’s more wind in the afternoons. Due to this, there are times when we can’t reach the arch, only Pelican Rock. Also, because the arch is the most well-known landmark in Cabos, there’s a high number of visitors, and it’s even more crowded in the afternoons).
  • Questions:
  • What kind of boat do we use? We do not use boats, all our water activities start from the beach.
  • What time do you recommend 9 a.m. or 2 p.m.? We recommend the 9 a.m. schedule as in the mornings there is less wind and fewer waves, so the conditions are usually more favorable.

My sister and I had a great time kayaking and snorkeling last Thursday. We stayed at Secrets Hotel and Emilio was grateful enough to drive 45 minutes to pick us up and drop us off. Everything went smoothly!
