# Private Cabo Kayak & Snorkel Adventure to the Arch

**Guidekin's take:** Paddle from the beach toward the Arch in a tandem glass bottom kayak on a private tour for your party. Kayak and snorkel gear, water, snacks and transfers from selected areas are included; children must be at least six, and there is no boat ride. 4.97 from 60 reviews at €114 per person for 2h 30m.

In our comparison: #24 of 65 in Snorkeling Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Land’s End marks the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez in a landscape shaped by granite cliffs, wind, and ocean currents. As you paddle at water level, iconic landmarks such as Neptune’s Finger, Lovers Beach, and the Arch reveal themselves from a unique perspective only accessible from the sea.

The granite formations surrounding Land’s End help create habitats for marine life, making areas like Pelican Rock one of Cabo’s most popular snorkeling locations. Rocky reefs and underwater formations provide shelter for colorful fish and other species commonly found in the Sea of Cortez.

What makes this private experience special is the journey itself. Launching directly from the beach creates a quieter, more natural connection with the coastline, while the private format allows your guide to adjust the pace, snorkeling time, photo stops, and route according to your group and ocean conditions.

3. **Arch of Cabo San Lucas** (pass by, no stop) - Continue paddling near the famous Arch of Cabo San Lucas, one of the most recognizable landmarks in Baja California Sur.
