    Amazing boat tour and snorkeling detour

    Sirgio and Rane did an amazing job picking us up from the hotel and showing us around the cape! They also allowed us to stop along the beach to swim and snorkel after the tour was over. Would recommend to anyone interested in the area!

    Great experience!

    Great experience! Easy transportation to and from our hotel with Sirgio, who made pick-up and drop-off super smooth. Boat experience was great with time to explore a beach and snorkel!

    Positives and negatives

    The tour is informative and they have a professional photographer which is a nice plus. The "glass bottom" is only two 2'x3' windows in the floor, you will see more from looking over the boat than the windows so they're not really a benefit. The boat is small and they pack you in so unfortunately the pictures end up showing parts of the boat you don't expect. I'll admit, our group was jealous of the "all glass/clear boats" that passed us. If pics are important to you, book those boats. If not, this is a great option. Also, you don't really get close to the arch. So the arch seems "far off" and small in your pics.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We’re glad to hear that you found the tour informative and appreciated having a professional photographer as part of the experience. 📸 We’re sorry that some aspects of the boat and the views of the Arch did not meet your expectations. Our glass-bottom boats are designed to offer both underwater viewing and open views of the surrounding area, although we understand that you were expecting a different experience. We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us continue improving our services and setting the right expectations for our guests. We hope you still enjoyed your time in Los Cabos and the beautiful scenery along the way. 🌊

    Cabo San Lucas Glass-Bottom Boat Tour to the Famous Arch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cabo San Lucas.

    How much does Cabo San Lucas Glass-Bottom Boat Tour to the Famous Arch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cabo San Lucas 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 Glass-Bottom Boat Tour to the Famous Arch take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.8 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 Cabo San Lucas is not rushed.

    Is Cabo San Lucas Glass-Bottom Boat Tour to the Famous Arch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 182 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cabo San Lucas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cabo San Lucas Glass-Bottom Boat Tour to the Famous Arch?

    +

    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 Glass-Bottom Boat Tour to the Famous Arch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cabo San Lucas Glass-Bottom Boat Tour to the Famous Arch?

    +

    Around 64 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 Cabo San Lucas 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 Cabo San Lucas and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cabo San Lucas Glass-Bottom Boat Tour to the Famous Arch 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 Cabo San Lucas 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 Cabo San Lucas?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cabo San Lucas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cabo San Lucas Mexican Cooking Class Experience and Local Markets, Cabo Beach Camel Ride, Mexican Buffet and Tequila Tasting, Cabo Whale Watching: Female Crew, Guaranteed Sightings, Photos. 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 Cabo San Lucas?

    +

    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 Cabo San Lucas?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Cabo San Lucas Glass-Bottom Boat Tour to the Famous Arch?
