Vicente & staff were very...
Vicente & staff were very good to customize our experience. We had a great day snorkeling and watching whales too!!
Response from the operator: Yea! We love to hear it! Thanks for sharing :)

One Fish, Two Fish, 1000 Fish ~
The snorkeling was really good and soooo many fish, however, come prepared to sit on rocks when not in the water. The area is not made for lounging by the ocean.
Response from the operator: Thank you for that tip! I will add it to the welcome letter. Enjoy the rest of your time in Cabo :)

Fun in the sun!
We had a great time. Leo our boat driver took us to see the arch and lovers beach and divorce beach. Smooth ride out and on our way back we stopped at Pelican Brach to snorkel. The tide was rough and the rocks were a bit uncomfortable to walk on but the fish were very colorful. It was a bit full because a cruise ship was in port that day. Was a great time.
Response from the operator: This is so great to hear!!! thank you for taking the time to let us know :)

Worst experience EVER!!
Difficult to find. Asked for an English speaking guide, guy barely spoke any English. Got dropped off at a beach, left the snorkling part for us to figure out. Some random couple jumped onto the boat with us at the start. Woman kept complaining that it wasn't enough time at the beach. We had agreed with the boat "captain" latest pickup at 2pm, got picked up at 230pm. Ruined our afternoon plans we had. NEVER AGAIN!!
Response from the operator: Hi Alma, I spoke with you before the tour and told you exactly where to go when it was time. You were clearly having a bad day from before you even got to the Marina. I am sorry for that because it is pretty hard to have a bad day in Cabo. It is Mexico so broken English is to be expected, right? I hope the rest of your time in Cabo is accent free. I asked everyone and we are ok with never again.

Worth the adventure but shorter than described
The provider waited for us. We made it just in nick of time and they waited for us to board the boat. The captain Carlos was good too and mentioned what sites we were seeing etc. However, this is not a 2-hour adventure as described. We were done in 45 minutes including the snorkeling. Plus the boats are old and not as fancy as in pictures.
Response from the operator: Thanks for taking the time to let us know. You can actually stay more than 2 hours if it is arranged. I am sorry you didn't see that info. I will make it more clear. I hope the rest of your time in Cabo was great!

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cabo San Lucas Arch Boat Tour and Snorkeling at Pelican Rock: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Cabos.
How much does Cabo San Lucas Arch Boat Tour and Snorkeling at Pelican Rock cost?
+
Prices start at $99 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 Boat Tour and Snorkeling at Pelican Rock take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Boat Tour and Snorkeling at Pelican Rock worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 23 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 Cabo San Lucas Arch Boat Tour and Snorkeling at Pelican Rock?
+
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 Boat Tour and Snorkeling at Pelican Rock suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cabo San Lucas Arch Boat Tour and Snorkeling at Pelican Rock?
+
Around 8 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cabo San Lucas Arch Boat Tour and Snorkeling at Pelican Rock 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.
