Not as advertised
We booked a tour to the Arch on what EnvaTours' website described as a "transparent" boat. This alone was why we booked with them. When we checked in we were told that we would NOT be on a transparent boat. Instead, we'd by on a glass bottom boat (two rectangular openings in the floor of the boat to see into the water). Unfortunately, the glass openings in the floor of the boat were dirty or otherwise covered up so there was no view into the water. The guide was a nice enough man who gave descriptions of the sites in English and Spanish, which was nice. When we got to the Arch the guide used his camera to take photos of everyone on the boat sitting in front with the Arch behind them. He then offered to see the photos ($40 for four if I recall). We brought two phone camera plus a 35MM camera to get our own pictures so had no interest in buying his. He seemed disappointed about this. The frustrating thing is we spent virtually every minute of our time by the Arch with the guide taking pictures of the passengers. It made it difficult for us to get our own photos in the process. I don't have proof, but I think EnvaTours didn't have enough people for the tour we purchased several months ago to go on one of their boats, so they pawned us off on another operator, which didn't have the "transparent" boats. We were happy to have seen the Arch, but this toour did not play out as we expected so can't recommend them to others.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry to learn that the tour did not meet your expectations, and we would like to investigate what happened. Could you please provide us with your reservation details, including the name under which the booking was made and the date of the tour? We would also appreciate it if you could confirm the booking channel or platform through which you made your reservation. It is important to note that the only activity operated directly by our company is our fully transparent boat tour, which is offered exclusively through our official sales channels. There are external agencies and third-party sellers that market similar tours or package deals, so we would like to verify whether your reservation was made directly with us or through a third party. Once we receive your booking information, we will be happy to review your case in detail and determine what may have occurred, as the situation you described does not correspond to the fully transparent boat service that we operate directly. Please contact us at info@envatours.com with your reservation details so we can assist you further. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, EnvaTours

Great tour and trip
My family and I recently enjoyed an enva glass bottom boat tour to Los Arcos. The guide Raul and captain Tomas were experienced, entertaining and friendly. They did a great job navigating the waters and teaching us about Los Cabos. We got amazing photos along the way. You can book through your resort or go to the marina and book at your convenience (cheaper). Boats depart every 30 minutes.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for sharing your experience. We’re delighted to hear that you and your family had such a great time during the tour and enjoyed the views along the way. It’s wonderful to know that the guidance and service made the trip both entertaining and informative, and that you were able to capture such memorable photos. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again for another amazing adventure in the future

Quick tour to the arch
Quick but fun tour in a transparent boat to the arch of CSL. Our guide and photographer, "Chapulin," was awesome and kept us entertained and educated about the area the boats in the marina and the architecture. He took great photos of us and of course we had to have them all.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a fun experience on the transparent boat tour to the Arch. It’s great to know that "Chapulín" made your trip both entertaining and informative! We’re also glad you loved the photos he captured; they’re such a special way to remember your visit. We truly appreciate you choosing us and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

Private Clear Boat Arch Tour!
We had an amazing time on the Cabo Arch tour with EnvaTours. This experience was definitely a highlight of our trip. The clear boat itself was a fun and unique way to see the Arch and Lover's Beach. The views were incredible, offering fantastic photo opportunities and we loved seeing the fish swimming beneath us. Be sure to ask for Amed, who was a fantastic tour guide. He took time to get to know us, explain the area and culture of Cabo and helped with some amazing photos.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! 🌊✨ We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Cabo Arch tour with us and that the clear-bottom boat experience was one of the highlights of your trip. Amed will be delighted to know that his attention and knowledge helped make your tour even more special. 🐠📸 Our goal is always to provide a fun, authentic experience filled with unforgettable moments. We hope to welcome you back very soon to continue exploring the beauty of Cabo together. Thank you for choosing us! 💙

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
1 hour Private Navigation in Transparent Boat Arco de Los Cabos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Cabos.
How much does 1 hour Private Navigation in Transparent Boat Arco de Los Cabos cost?
+
Prices start at $582 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Los Cabos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 1 hour Private Navigation in Transparent Boat Arco de Los Cabos take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Los Cabos is not rushed.
Is 1 hour Private Navigation in Transparent Boat Arco de Los Cabos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 48 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Los Cabos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 1 hour Private Navigation in Transparent Boat Arco de Los Cabos?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 1 hour Private Navigation in Transparent Boat Arco de Los Cabos suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 1 hour Private Navigation in Transparent Boat Arco de Los Cabos?
+
Around 17 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Los Cabos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Los Cabos and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 1 hour Private Navigation in Transparent Boat Arco de Los Cabos start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Los Cabos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Los Cabos?
+
On Outty we rank every Los Cabos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ziplining and UTV Desert Adventure from Los Cabos, Cabo 4x4 ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch, Cabo Beach Camel Ride, Mexican Buffet and Tequila Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Los Cabos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Los Cabos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
