“From pickup to drop off at our hotel, Luis provided top notch service and hospitality! The tour started the minute we were in the van with facts and info about all of Cabo. He did all the heavy lifting, all we did was hop on and off the kayak- and paddle of course. Kayaked right up to the arch and he took our picture- no obstructed views full of other boats or tourists (we went in the morning before it got too busy). Went ashore Lovers beach and walked around and took pictures. Went ashore again near Pelican Rock and snorkeled for about 45min. Visibility was great! Saw tons of…”

“We had a blast on this tour!!! Giovanni, our tour guide from Esperanza's, was incredible and very accommodating. He provided us with some historical facts on our way to the marina, then dropped us off for the 45 minute glass bottom boat ride which was BREATHTAKING. We then went into town to buy souvenirs and eat some authentic Mexican tacos based on Giovanni's recommendations, which were incredible. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cabo!!!”

“Exit from the cruise boat tender stop to the right. The Cabo Paradise Arch tour is through the green gate to the docks on your right. Yo may not see any signs or a kiosk there. Just ask whoever is standing next to the gate. We asked the guy selling water taxi service and he call our tour company for us. Antonio ended up only having the 2 of us on his tour. It was great having a private tour. Antonio was a great guide and shared a lot about Cabo San Lucas with us”

Paddleboard to El Arco, snorkel at Pelican Rock, and glide past Lover’s Beach on a small guided tour with pickup and gear included.

“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!”

“Everything was excellent right from the start! Casey picked us up right at our hotel and pointed out some cool areas during our ride from San Jose del Cabo to Cabo San Lucas. They had all of the necessary equipment for us and gave helpful kayaking tips before we set off. Our guide, Carlos always communicated where he needed us to kayak to, and always helped us get in and out of the kayaks when landing on or leaving from the beach. We liked that this trip was in the morning because it wasn’t crazy busy when we went to the arch, which was such a beautiful sight, and we…”
