Fantastic!!
Best excursion. This was purchased and then rained out so we called and they moved it to the next day. They were amazing. They took us for a tour and then dropped us at a beach and came back to get us. I can’t believe how great this was!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your fantastic review, Aimee_N! 🌊☀️ It was an absolute pleasure speaking with you when you called to reschedule. I was more than happy to adjust the time so you wouldn't miss out on the fun! It was wonderful taking care of you , and we can't wait to welcome you back to Cabo whenever you return! 🛥️🌴

I did not realize that...
I did not realize that glass bottom did not mean glass bottom. It had two areas you could look through that were rectangular in size. With that being said said- guide was very nice and friendly. Just the words glass bottom is not the same as clear bottom we learned.
Response from the operator: Hi Jill, thank you for sharing your feedback. Just to clarify, our boat is traditionally called a glass-bottom boat because it features two large viewing panels right along the center aisle, rather than a fully transparent hull. We always try to show our vessels clearly in our photos and descriptions, but we completely understand how the name can sometimes cause a bit of confusion. We truly care about your experience and would love to hear from you directly if there is anything we can do to make it better. Thank you for sailing with us!

Amazing boat ride
My boyfriend and I went and it was amazing! We did the 10am boat ride and got lucky with being the only ones on. It was a great and memorable experience. The tour guide was very nice, informative and took us really close to the Arch there was also a photographer on board with us. 10/10 recommend booking with them!!
Response from the operator: Hi Elizabeth! What a great surprise having the 10:00 am boat all to yourselves—what a lucky timing to enjoy the Arch without crowds! We are thrilled to know the ride was amazing for you and your boyfriend, and that our guide took such good care of you. Thank you so much for the 10/10 recommendation. We hope to welcome you both back to Cabo very soon! 🌊🚤✨

Great time the bottom has two sections that are glass you get to see fish through. Big schools of fish were jumping out of the w
Great family boat trip there was 6 of us. Host was fun and knowledgeable.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your family of six had a great time on our glass bottom boat tour to the Cabo Arch! It is always a highlight when the marine life decides to put on a show—seeing those big schools of fish jumping out of the water through the glass bottom is truly a magical experience. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to your host, who will be delighted to know their fun and knowledgeable guidance made your trip so memorable. We would love to welcome you and your family back on board for another adventure the next time you visit Cabo! Warm regards, De Cabo A Cabo

This was a great tour!...
This was a great tour! Victor was a great tour guide and the boat ride was fun. He gave our kids tortillas to feed to the fish, which was super fun, and on the way back to shore, we saw manta rays jumping! Super cool experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing such a fantastic review, Robyne! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Arch tour and that Victor took such great care of you. Giving the kids tortillas to feed the fish is always a huge hit, and spotting those jumping manta rays on the way back was definitely the perfect icing on the cake! We would love to welcome you and your family back on board next time you visit Cabo San Lucas. Warm regards from the entire team!

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cabo San Lucas Arch Tour by Glass Bottom Boat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Cabos.
How much does Cabo San Lucas Arch Tour by Glass Bottom Boat cost?
+
Prices start at $21 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 Tour by Glass Bottom Boat 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 Cabo San Lucas Arch Tour by Glass Bottom Boat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 366 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Los Cabos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cabo San Lucas Arch Tour by Glass Bottom Boat?
+
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 Tour by Glass Bottom Boat 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 Cabo San Lucas Arch Tour by Glass Bottom Boat?
+
Around 128 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 Cabo San Lucas Arch Tour by Glass Bottom Boat 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.
