2×1 Tour: Cabo San Lucas Arch + Camels Ride + Pick up!
The unusual pairing is the point: you see Cabo’s famous Arch from a transparent boat, then head to a beach for a camel ride. The outing also includes a desert safari ride and lunch at Casa Típica, so it packs several very different Cabo experiences into one booking.
I like the boat ride past the Arch and sea lions, a memorable way to see the coast, and the camel ride on the beach, which is a rare twist on a typical Cabo excursion. The buffet and round-trip transportation add useful value if you want several activities arranged together.
The main catch is the price math. The $55 fare excludes a $25 park entrance fee and a $5 port tax, so plan on at least $85 per person before photo purchases. The stated duration is about four hours, but the two timed stops add up to less than three hours, so confirm the pickup schedule before building the rest of your day around it.

- Keep the schedule flexible: The tour is about four hours, while the listed stop times total two hours and 50 minutes, not counting transfers or transitions.
The Arch looks different from a transparent boat
Cabo’s Arch is the headline sight, and seeing it from the water gives you a closer sense of its shape than a distant shoreline view. The boat also passes Arch Beach and a sea lion colony, adding a little wildlife watching to the coastal ride.
The transparent boat is the unusual feature. Its clear sections let you look down toward the water, and the boat ride can offer views of fish below. It is a nice bonus, but keep your expectations practical: this is a short boat visit, not a dedicated marine-life tour, and visibility can vary.
The boat portion is listed as part of the first stop, which is timed at 50 minutes. That window also includes the eco-farm and camel experience, so the boat ride itself is only one part of the stop. If the Arch is your main reason for booking, enjoy the view, but do not expect a long cruise.
The route passes a sea lion colony, one of the more distinctive sights along this stretch of coast. Bring a phone or camera if you want pictures, but remember that photos are not included in the price. The boat ride is a good chance to get your own shots, though the tour does not promise a specific amount of time for photography.

A camel ride on a Cabo beach

After the boat, the outing takes you to a sustainable eco-farm, where you can meet the camels before riding. The camels are described as docile, and the ride follows the shore. That setting is a big part of the appeal: the animals and the Pacific coast make an unexpected combination.
The stop also includes time to meet the camels and pose for a photo. You may want to bring a little patience for that part, since taking turns and getting pictures can use up time. Photos themselves are not included, and the tour information does not state their price.
The camel ride is brief within a packed itinerary, rather than a long trek. The whole first stop is listed at 50 minutes and includes the boat, eco-farm visit, camel ride, and photo opportunity. If you are hoping to spend a long time with the animals, ask the operator how the stop is divided before booking.
There is also a desert safari ride included. The details of that ride, such as its vehicle, route, or length, are not specified, so treat it as an added activity rather than a reason to expect a particular kind of off-road excursion.
Buffet lunch with a Pacific view

The tour concludes at Casa Típica, where a Mexican buffet and fresh waters are served with a view over the Pacific. The meal is a practical part of the package: you do not need to find a restaurant after the activities, and the scheduled two-hour stop gives you more time there than at the first stop.
The buffet is included, as are the fresh waters and a tequila tasting. The menu, drink choices, and tasting format are not detailed, so anyone with dietary needs or questions about what is served should check with the operator in advance. Do not assume that every beverage is included just because fresh waters are.
A seated meal also makes for a calmer finish after the boat and camel activities. The setting provides a chance to take in the coast at a slower pace, though this is a group outing, not a private dining experience. The maximum group size is 25.
What the $55 price really covers
At $55 per person, the package includes a lot of separate elements: round-trip transportation, a boat visit to Los Arcos, camel riding, a desert safari ride, tequila tasting, buffet lunch, and fresh waters. If you want to combine the Arch and camel ride anyway, putting them together can save you the hassle of arranging separate excursions.
But the headline fare is not the full cost. The park entrance fee is listed as $25 per person, and the port tax is another $5. That makes the known cost at least $85 per person, before any photo purchases or other expenses not specified in the tour details.
That $85 total may still be reasonable if you value transport, the boat, the camel ride, and lunch as one coordinated outing. It is less compelling if you only want to see the Arch or take a camel ride, since you would be paying for several activities you might not care about. Compare the total against the individual experiences you most want, not just the advertised $55.
The package’s strongest value is convenience and variety. You can cover the coast, animals, food, and a safari ride in one booking. The trade-off is limited control over how long you spend at each activity.

Four hours on the clock, with timing to confirm
The advertised duration is approximately four hours. The first stop is listed as 50 minutes and the Casa Típica meal stop as two hours, for a combined total of two hours and 50 minutes. Transfers and the handoff between activities likely account for some of the difference, but exact travel and waiting times are not provided.
For that reason, I would avoid scheduling a tight appointment immediately afterward. The tour includes round-trip transport, and pickup times and locations are sent by the operator within 24 hours of booking. Check the available hotel pickup list during checkout, then contact the operator if you need to clarify where and when to meet.
The activity is offered in English and has a maximum group size of 25. That cap helps set expectations: this is a shared excursion, not a private tour. The group size may also affect how quickly the party moves through photo stops and activity transitions.
The outing is described as suitable for most participants, but no specific mobility details are given. If you have concerns about getting on and off the boat, mounting a camel, or any part of the ride, ask the operator before booking rather than relying on the general suitability note.
Practical booking notes

You receive a mobile ticket, and confirmation is provided at booking. Pickup is offered, but not every hotel is necessarily included. Check the list at checkout, and use the operator’s contact button or WhatsApp to confirm the pickup time and location; the details are sent within 24 hours of booking.
The activity is, on average, booked 31 days ahead. That is a useful planning clue, not a rule. If the date matters to you, booking early may help, especially if you are coordinating this outing with other plans.
Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours before the start are not accepted for a refund or change. The cutoff follows local time, so check the start time carefully.
Who will enjoy this combination most?

I would choose this outing if you want a varied introduction to Cabo and would rather have transportation and several activities bundled together. It is especially appealing if both the Arch and the camel ride sound fun, and you like the idea of ending with a meal rather than figuring out lunch on your own.
It also suits groups or friends who want a day with plenty of photo opportunities. The transparent boat, sea lions, camel ride, and Pacific-facing meal give you several distinct scenes without booking separate tours.
You may want another option if your priority is a long boat trip, an extended camel ride, or a quiet small-group outing. The schedule has several moving parts, and the details do not spell out how much time is devoted to each one. The extra $30 in listed fees also matters if you are comparing this with a simpler, lower-cost activity.
The operator’s replies to customers are signed by Guido, but the tour information does not identify him as the guide for this specific outing. If you want to know who will lead your departure, ask when confirming pickup details.
Should you book it?

Book this tour if you want the Arch, a beach camel ride, and lunch in one convenient package, and you are comfortable paying at least $85 per person after the listed fees. Its best feature is the contrast between a boat ride along Cabo’s coast and a camel ride by the Pacific.
Skip it if you want to focus on just one activity or need a precise, tightly timed schedule. Before you commit, confirm your hotel pickup, ask how the four-hour estimate works with the stop timings, and check whether the extra fees fit your budget.
