Cabo San Lucas Paddle Board & Snorkel Adventure to the Arch
Overview
Stand-up paddle boarding offers one of the most immersive ways to experience Land's End because the elevated position provides a wider field of view than many other water activities. From a paddle board, it is possible to appreciate both the dramatic granite formations above and the changing colors and underwater features below. The coastline surrounding the Arch and Pelican Rock has been shaped by millions of years of geological activity, while the rocky reef habitats beneath the surface help support the marine ecosystems that make the Sea of Cortez internationally recognized for its biodiversity. Combining paddle boarding and snorkeling creates a unique opportunity to experience both environments in a single adventure.

What To Expect
Experience Land's End from a unique perspective during a paddle board and snorkeling adventure along the coastline of Cabo San Lucas. Launching directly from the beach, you'll glide across the waters of the Sea of Cortez while enjoying panoramic views of the granite formations that have made this region one of Baja California Sur's most recognizable destinations.
As you paddle along the shoreline, you'll pass Neptune's Finger, Lovers Beach, and the famous Arch of Cabo San Lucas while learning about the natural history and geology of Land's End. The elevated position of a stand-up paddle board provides a different view of the coastline and surrounding waters, creating a more immersive connection with the environment. The adventure continues with guided snorkeling near Pelican Rock before returning to shore, combining paddling, marine exploration, and some of Cabo's most iconic scenery into one unforgettable experience.

Frequently Asked Questions (13)
The answers provided below were previously given in response to questions from Cool Cabo customers.
Filter by:
Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Cabo snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Cabo tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
