About this experience
This private adventure combines snorkeling and glass-bottom kayaking in a single experience designed exclusively for your group of up to four guests. Begin with a guided snorkeling session at Pelican Rock before paddling to Land’s End, allowing you to experience Cabo’s marine life before exploring its most famous landmarks. Unlike traditional Arch tours that rely on motorized boats, this experience launches directly from the beach and uses no boats at any point during the activity. Paddle past the sea lion colony, Lovers Beach, Neptune’s Finger, and the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas while enjoying views through the glass-bottom kayak. The private format allows for a more personalized experience with a certified bilingual guide, included transportation, snorkeling equipment, and the flexibility to enjoy one of Los Cabos’ most recognizable natural areas at your own pace.

Definitely recommend
So much fun, Hugo and Luis were amazing tour guides! Super helpful and funny.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your great review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a fun kayak and snorkeling adventure to the Arch. Hugo and Luis (Monito) will be very happy to hear your kind words. Their combination of experience, helpful guidance, and good humor is all about making the adventure safe, relaxed, and memorable. Thank you for recommending High Tide Los Cabos. We hope to see you again for another fun day on the water! High Tide Los Cabos

Will Do Again!!!
Luis and Javi are the best guides! Best tour with all the local knowledge of the sea life and history. Very safe! Kayak and snorkel tour will give a work out but well worth it!!
Response from the operator: Hi there, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We love hearing that this is an experience you would do again. Luis and Javier Beltrán will be thrilled to hear your kind words. One of the things that makes a private kayak and snorkel tour so special is having the time to share not only the incredible scenery around the Arch and Playa del Amor, but also the history, marine life, and local stories that make Los Cabos unique. You’re absolutely right — kayaking to Land’s End can be a bit of a workout, but the reward is unforgettable. Getting up close to El Arco, spotting marine life in the Sea of Cortez, and snorkeling in crystal-clear waters is an experience that few visitors get to enjoy from such a unique perspective. We're especially happy to hear you felt safe throughout the adventure. Safety, local expertise, and creating memorable experiences are at the heart of everything we do at High Tide Los Cabos. Thank you again for choosing us for your adventure in Baja California Sur. Next time you're back, we'd love to take you to Chileno Bay and Santa María Cove or even on a private Cabo Pulmo adventure to discover even more of the incredible marine life our region has to offer.

Luis was amazing. Great experience would highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Hi there, Thank you so much for your review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your private kayak, beach, and snorkeling adventure around the Arch and Playa del Amor in Cabo San Lucas. Luis will be very happy to hear your kind words. Private tours are a wonderful way to experience Los Cabos at a more relaxed pace, giving guests time to enjoy the scenery, explore the coastline, and discover the beauty of the Sea of Cortez while receiving personalized attention along the way. From paddling near the iconic Arch to snorkeling in the clear waters and visiting the beautiful beaches around Land’s End, we’re glad the experience was memorable for you. Thank you for your recommendation and for choosing High Tide Los Cabos. We hope to welcome you back to Baja California Sur soon for another unforgettable adventure on the water. High Tide Los Cabos

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Cabo Arch Kayak & Snorkel Tour for 4 Guests: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cabo San Lucas.
How much does Private Cabo Arch Kayak & Snorkel Tour for 4 Guests cost?
+
Prices start at $432 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 Private Cabo Arch Kayak & Snorkel Tour for 4 Guests take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Private Cabo Arch Kayak & Snorkel Tour for 4 Guests worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 75 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 Private Cabo Arch Kayak & Snorkel Tour for 4 Guests?
+
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 Private Cabo Arch Kayak & Snorkel Tour for 4 Guests suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Cabo Arch Kayak & Snorkel Tour for 4 Guests?
+
Around 26 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Cabo Arch Kayak & Snorkel Tour for 4 Guests 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 Desert Off-Road & Beach Horseback Combo and Tequila Tasting, Humpback Whale Watching Tour in Cabo San Lucas, Cabo All-Inclusive Private Beach Club with Open Bar and Buffet. 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.
