Private Stand Up Paddle and Snorkel to the Arch, Cabo San Lucas

No prior stand up paddle experience is required. Your private guide gives a clear safety and technique brief on the beach before you launch, and the route is paced for mixed ability groups including first timers.

Life jackets are available if you want extra support, and you can kneel or sit on the board whenever you need a break from standing.

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 Plaza Gali OXXO or go straight to Cannery Beach instead. Final instructions are sent with your confirmation.

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 follow guide instructions on a paddle board with an adult nearby.

Landing at Lover's Beach is not part of the standard itinerary. Local operational and safety conditions mean the group stays on the water for that stretch of coastline.

You still paddle past the cliffs and viewpoints so you can see Lover's Beach and the Arch from sea level, which is often the best angle for photos anyway.

At Pelican Rock you typically snorkel among tropical fish and rocky reef habitat inside the Cabo marine protected area. Visibility and species change with season, tide and weather.

Along the Arch coastline, sea lions are often visible resting on the rocks or swimming nearby. Guides keep a respectful distance so wildlife is not disturbed while you still get a clear view.

Guides check wind, swell and visibility before and during the tour. If conditions are unsafe for paddling 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.

Plan for about two hours of guided paddling and snorkelling from Cannery 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.

Yes. Stand up paddle boards, paddles, ankle leashes, 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 board.

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.

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 Pelican Rock snorkel, so you are never left alone on the water and can ask questions as you go.
