Cabo Kayak & Snorkel Adventure to the Arch with Glass Bottom
Overview
Launch directly from Playa Empacadora and paddle into the heart of Land’s End, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. Along the route, your guide will lead the group past iconic landmarks including the Arch of Cabo San Lucas, Lovers Beach, Neptune’s Finger, and the local sea lion colony while sharing insights about Cabo’s marine life, granite formations, and ocean conditions.
The experience combines scenic kayaking with guided snorkeling near Pelican Rock or nearby reef areas known for clear water, rocky reefs, and colorful marine life. Depending on the season and visibility, travelers may encounter tropical fish, rays, pufferfish, angelfish, and large schools of fish moving through the reefs of the Sea of Cortez.
More than simply visiting Cabo’s landmarks, this experience offers a natural and active way to explore the coastline at ocean level — without boats, engines, or crowded tour routes surrounding the experience itself.
