Less and more than expected!
Paco and Josue were wonderful. We made it to the arch where Josue took our photos magically while balancing on his paddleboard. We were then headed to Lover’s Beach when big clouds were building and a torito came in, causing big wind, waves and then a pelting of rain. Paco and Josue concentrated their efforts on ensuring the safety of a capsized kayak. They were top notch in a situation that could have gotten out of hand easily. My husband and I were not able to land at Lover’s Beach given the conditions and headed back to the dock. Josue and Paco had two kayaks on the beach, one now right side up and us. They then divided and conquered to make sure we were all safe in the unexpectedly high ocean swells. Hats off to these two. They clearly know the ocean and are familiar with rescue techniques in the oh so rare occasion they need to use them. We were not able to snorkel given the storm that came upon us with no notice. Paco and Josue were pure magic!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Dawn, for sharing such a thoughtful review!❤️ We’re truly happy to hear that, despite the unexpected weather conditions, you felt safe and well taken care of. Paco and Josue will be absolutely thrilled to hear your kind words. They are both incredibly dedicated guides, and their knowledge of the ocean, teamwork, and commitment to safety are things we are very proud of. It means a lot to us that you noticed how they handled the situation. The weather event you experienced is locally known as a “Torito,” a sudden and localized storm that, although ver rare, it can bring strong winds, waves, and heavy rain. As soon as we were notified that one was approaching, we immediately alerted our guides. Unfortunately, this particular Torito developed and arrived very quickly, which made the conditions change in a matter of minutes. We are always closely monitoring the weather and ocean conditions throughout our tours, and our guides are prepared to react quickly when conditions change. Safety will always be our number one priority. We’re sorry you weren’t able to enjoy Lover’s Beach or snorkel as planned, but we’re grateful that everyone made it back safely. We’re so glad you were still able to make it to the Arch and capture some magical moments before the weather changed! 🥰 Thank you again for trusting us with your experience and for recognizing Paco and Josue in such a special way. We’ll be sure to share your wonderful words with them!

Amazing experience
We had an amazing experience! My husband and I absolutely loved it. Fernando and joshua were fantastic, and everyone made sure we had a great time. A special thank you to Joshua, who went above and beyond to help me and make sure I had the best possible experience. He was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout. We loved every minute of it and would highly recommend these guys! We’ll definitely be back!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Mahima! We’re delighted to know you both had such a memorable time with us. We’ll definitely pass along your kind words to Fernando and Joshua, especially your appreciation for Joshua’s extra care and attention. It was a pleasure having you, and we can’t wait to see you again!

Amazing
Amazing experience and guide! Thank you :) The whole tour made our day. Kayaking and snorkeling was fun!!
Response from the operator: We're so glad you enjoyed the experience! Thank you for spending the day with us, and we hope to welcome you back again soon. Muchas gracias!

Beautiful sights
Kayak is probably the best way to enjoy the Arc. It is a little scary being so close to many boats wanting to see the arc but Josue made sure we were safe. Some boats get a little too aggressively close and you want to be in decent physical shape. The Snorkling area alone is super worth it. Amazing !!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your great review, Liliana! We're so happy you enjoyed both the kayaking and the snorkeling. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Josue. As a friendly note, for guests looking for a quieter experience on the water, we usually recommend our 6:00 a.m. tour, when there are typically fewer boats around the Arch. Thank you for joining us and we hope to have the honor to share another adventure with you soon!

Why this scores 92
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cabo San Lucas Arch and Lovers Beach Kayak Tour plus Snorkeling: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Cabos.
How much does Cabo San Lucas Arch and Lovers Beach Kayak Tour plus Snorkeling cost?
+
Prices start at $90 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 Cabo San Lucas Arch and Lovers Beach Kayak Tour plus Snorkeling take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours 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 Cabo San Lucas Arch and Lovers Beach Kayak Tour plus Snorkeling worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1,060 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Los Cabos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cabo San Lucas Arch and Lovers Beach Kayak Tour plus Snorkeling?
+
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 Cabo San Lucas Arch and Lovers Beach Kayak Tour plus Snorkeling suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cabo San Lucas Arch and Lovers Beach Kayak Tour plus Snorkeling?
+
Around 371 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cabo San Lucas Arch and Lovers Beach Kayak Tour plus Snorkeling 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 Cabo 4x4 ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch, Ziplining and UTV Desert Adventure from Los Cabos, 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.
