A guided snorkel in Chileno's protected waters follows before a relaxed return paddle at your group's pace. 📍 Location You meet at Santa Maria Beach on the Tourist Corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, or use complimentary hotel pickup or Plaza Gali OXXO if that suits your stay.

No prior kayaking experience is required. Your private guide gives a clear safety and paddling brief on the beach before you launch, and the route is paced for mixed ability groups including first timers. You paddle tandem glass bottom kayaks, so effort is shared with a partner. Life jackets are provided, and you can rest or swap paddling roles whenever you need a break. ### Is hotel pickup included? Yes. Complimentary round trip hotel transportation is included from selected hotels in Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo and the Tourist Corridor. Exact pickup times are confirmed after your reservation is booked. If your hotel sits outside that zone, you arrive by cruise ship, or you prefer to drive yourself, you can meet at the Santa Maria Beach area or Plaza Gali OXXO instead. Final instructions are sent with your confirmation. ### What is the minimum age? The minimum age is 6 years old on this private tour. Younger children are not accepted for safety reasons on the open water paddle and snorkel sections. Children joining should be comfortable in the water, happy to wear a life jacket, and able to sit and paddle in a tandem kayak with an adult for around two hours. ### Why visit both bays? Santa Maria Bay offers a sheltered horseshoe cove with calm, clear water ideal for launching kayaks. Chileno Bay is known for rocky reef systems and excellent snorkelling within a protected marine area. Paddling between the two gives you a unique coastal perspective that you cannot get from shore alone, with different underwater habitats at each stop. ### What marine life might we see? At Chileno Bay you typically snorkel among tropical fish, volcanic rock formations and coral covered reef inside the Cabo marine protected area. Santa Maria often shows clear water and coastal fish along the sandy bay edges. Visibility and species change with season, tide and weather. Your guide helps you find the best spots on the day. ### What happens in rough weather? Guides check wind, swell and visibility before and during the tour. If conditions are unsafe for kayaking or snorkelling, the operator will offer an alternative date or a full refund under their weather and port closure policy. Private tours cancelled by you at least 48 hours before the start time receive a full refund. No shows and late arrivals are non refundable. ### How long is the tour? Plan for about two hours of guided paddling and snorkelling from Santa Maria Beach once you are on the water with your kit fitted and briefed. If you use complimentary hotel pickup, allow extra time either side for collection and return. Exact schedules are confirmed after booking so you know when to be ready in the lobby. ### Is all equipment provided? Yes. Glass bottom tandem kayaks, paddles, life jackets and full snorkel kit (mask, snorkel and fins) are included in the tour price, along with a certified bilingual guide dedicated to your group. Bring your own swimsuit, towel, reef safe sunscreen, hat and water shoes. A waterproof phone case is useful if you want photos from the kayak. ### Can I cancel if plans change? Private tours may be cancelled up to 48 hours before the activity start time for a full refund. Inside that window, standard non refundable terms apply unless weather or safety forces a change. If the operator cancels for weather, safety or port closures, you can rebook for another date or receive a full refund. No shows and late arrivals are non refundable. ### Are the guides bilingual? Yes. Tours are led by certified bilingual guides who brief and coach in English and Spanish as needed throughout the paddle and snorkel. Your guide stays with your private group for the whole route, including the Chileno Bay snorkel, so you are never left alone on the water and can ask questions as you go. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1f9d96a4-369d-44b4-af45-642df285d10a.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
