The 15 Best Boat Trips to the Arch of Cabo San Lucas

39 tours  ·  from $11

The Arch is twenty minutes from the marina, and how you get there sets the price. These 15 compare the shared water taxi, the glass-bottom pangas, the clear kayaks and the sailing trips that round Land’s End on their way somewhere else.

Paddle a stable Hobie kayak from Empacadora Beach to El Arco with guides such as Josue and Roberto. Stop at Lovers Beach, Divorce Beach, and Pelican Rock for snacks, sea lions, photos, and snorkeling among fish and octopus. Sunrise departures offer the quietest water and best light.

“WOW... what an amazing time we had. My husband and I (both 70 yrs old) had never snorkeled or kayaked before. Both Josue and his partner for this excursion (I think his name was Roberto or Rigoberto?) were so patient and helped us every step of the way. They stayed with us the whole time snorkeling to make sure everything went well. When my husband had difficulty with kayaking, they let him ride on the paddleboard and helped me kayak back to the beach. Truly the best guides ever. We will be planning a trip back to Cabo and will definitely want to have these 2 young men be our…”

“Fantastic sailboating experience. First hour we snorkeled, it was great! We saw thousands of fish. Then we sailed to the arch for pictures. After that we sailed around the bay drinking and eating lunch, chips and salsa. And as a bonus we saw 2 humpback whales. In total 3 hours, 9-12pm. Would do this again!”

7.Arch Tour with Amazing Captain in Cabo San Lucas

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 647 reviews · 45 minutes (approx.) · from $30

Take a 45-minute glass-bottom boat ride from Cabo San Lucas Marina with a bilingual captain such as Vaymar, Antonio, or Adrian. See El Arco, sea lions, Pirate’s Cave, Pelican Rock, Lover’s Beach, and Divorce Beach. Beach drop-off depends on conditions, and the boat has a viewing window rather than a fully glass floor.

“The write up of the boat ride was exactly what we experienced, If you want a quick and low cost way to see the famous arch then this is the boat ride to take. It was exactly 45 minutes and we just circled around all the famous rock formations. Our guide stops in front of the arch and takes your picture.”

11.Cabo Boat Ride to El Arco & Lover’s Beach with Swimming

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 350 reviews · 2 hours 45 minutes (approx.) · from $19

Cruise from Cabo Marina past El Arco, Pirate’s Cave, Pelican Rock, and the sea lion colony, then enjoy about two hours at Lover’s Beach. A bilingual guide, small groups of up to 24, and optional swimming make this a low-cost way to see Cabo from the water.

“We booked the glass-bottom boat tour for $26/person prior to our arrival in Cabo. When we went to get on the boat, they tried to get us to board a non-glass bottom boat. I said something and then had to wait for the guy to find someone with such a boat to take us. Upon boarding, the “agent” instructed us to be sure and tip well. The ”tour” itself was fine, but there was nothing to see under the boat so didn’t need a glass-bottom after all. We could have saved ourselves time, money, and frustration by just booking with someone along the pier (which looked to be around $20/person).”

Paddleboard from the beach to El Arco with a bilingual guide, pause for about 40 minutes of snorkeling at Pelican Rock, and view Lover’s Beach and Divorce Beach from the water. Guides such as Maury, Mike, Luis, Javi, and Carlos are praised for patience and careful instruction.

“This is a must do while in Cabo. The ride is short enough for beginners but more than enough for the effort. It was great to see the arch from this perspective instead of sitting in a boat with every other person. It was a little worrisome with all the tourist boats near by, but our guides were experts and knew how to navigate it all. Recommend!”

Ride a 100% transparent boat from Cabo Marina to El Arco, Pelican Rock, Love Beach, and Divorce Beach. A certified guide such as Nacho, Jaime, or Ahmed explains the rock formations and marine life while the boat pauses for photos and fish viewing. The ride lasts about 40 to 50 minutes.

“The transportation aspect was unclear. To my understanding, I booked this listing with transportation included, but was sent a message that it was not. It was $13 per person so we spent $26. Upon arrival, we were informed that we would be picked up at 7, but negotiated for 545pm. We could have taken an uber from our location that would have been at least 1/2 cheaper both depart& arrival. Also, we did not ride back with transportation so it was a waste of money. The tour was really quick about 45 mins. The majority was check in& transportation so no I do not recommend, but the tour and crew…”
