Great adventure. The water was a little choppy. I wouldn't recommend if you get sea sick. Ton of fish to look at.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We had the best time with Carlos!! Our two boys (14 and 10) loved every minute. The kayaking was amazing around the bays and snorkeling in Chilleno Bay was perfect. We saw so many fish and the conditions were perfect. Carlos was the best guide and we can’t wait to book again. Highly recommend!!

Highlights

  • See what's going on underwater through your glass-bottom kayak
  • Marvel at the array of colorful reefs, corals, and marine life
  • Relax and enjoy the view as you paddle from Santa María Bay to Chileno Bay
  • Explore the area's beautiful tidal pools and enjoy snorkeling at Chileno Beach

Full description

Santa Maria and Chileno Bay are two of the best swimming and snorkeling spots in Cabo San Lucas, and on this 3-hour tour you will experience the beauty of both.

After a convenient hotel pick-up, you are fixed up with all the equipment you need and head to the glorious waters of Santa Maria Bay. Surrounded by craggy cliffs, it is an ideal location for snorkeling and makes a perfect introduction to your tour.

Enjoy a wide variety of marine life in the calm waters before embarking on the kayak stage of the day. The glass-bottom kayaks used on the tour will give you an unforgetable underwater experience as colorful fish swim beneath you.

If your tour takes place during the whale migration season, from January to March, you should keep your eyes peeled for the magnificent creatures at play.

Whatever time of the year you visit, you are certain to thrill to the sea life at Chileno Bay. Here you can swim among tidal pools and finger reef. Enjoy your second snorkel in a bay that teems with tropical fish, sea urchins and eels. If you are lucky you might even see some turtles.

Relax with a well-deserved refreshment on a glorious stretch of sandy beach, before the journey back to your Cabo hotel.

Carlos and Nacho were excellent. We got picked up right on time in the exact spot. The weather was windy so they modified our plan a bit but they were open to the original plan if we wanted to do it. Our group trusted their opinion on the modified plan and it was great. They took care of all the manual stuff with the kayaks and safely took us out to the arch and snorkeling beach. I was thankful for Carlos expertise because the current was swift that day and he kept us safe. Some of the groups out there didn’t have good guides and they were getting swept away. Would highly recommend them for any of their excursions.
