Itinerary

  • Pelican Rock

    Pelican Rock is a popular and one of the best snorkeling areas in Cabo San Lucas. The kayak tour passes Pelican Rock on the way to the Arch to view the rock formations in the Sea of Cortez. 

    50 minutes

  • El Arco de Cabo San Lucas (Pass By)

    This famous Baja landmark is where the Pacific Ocean joins the celestial emerald waters of the Sea of Cortez. The Arch is not only an ideal habitat for marine birds and multicolored fish but it is also the place to observe the sea lions colony. We take a break after kayaking, then we go snorkeling. If you haven't been to this spot, you can't say you've been to Cabo. This is surely an unforgettable kayak trip. 

  • Playa de los Amantes (Pass By)

    It is the last beach washed by the waters of the Sea of Cortez before reaching the Pacific Ocean, it offers crystal clear waters and a diversity of marine life that is an underwater adventure, a natural aquarium with many species of tropical fish of all colors and shapes imaginable; a short distance in both directions there are colonies of sea lions. Depending on the waves we can disembark or not.

  • Divorce Beach (Pass By)

    Everything about the beach of Love, and not talking about beauty, but the high and crazy waves that it has, in addition to being considered one of the most dangerous beaches of Los Cabos, due to the open sea that embraces it, to be located at Pacific Ocean Pass. Depending on the swell we can disembark or not!!
