“We got there and yes the fee's were the same. $25/person park fee, $25/35 for insurance and depending on the availability private tour was available. I strongly recommend private guided tour since if you get stuck with slow, not similar skill level, or different expectations it can ruin your experience. My boys wanted to be more "adventurous" and Javier was able to tailor to their expectations in a safe manner. He set the expectations for safety and was very knowledgeable about ATV/UTV. Ask the Javier!!!!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,317 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $95

Paddle from the beach toward El Arco and Playa del Amor with a small group and a guide such as Hugo, Javier, Marco, or Luis.

“We had an amazing time start to finish. Transportation was included in the cost of the trip and they were right on time. The bus was air conditioned. They offered water and snacks. Although the fiberglass bottom was too roughened to see well it did not matter at all since the visibility of the water allowed the same view. The paddle to the arches was strenuous but not taxing and the snorkel area though busy was not crowded. The guides were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable and we will definitely book them again on our next trip back.”

“I highly recommend Cabo Trek’s Whale Watching tour!! I participated in this excursion a little before the official start to the whale watching season (which begins Dec 15) but we saw plenty of whales, dolphins and marlin. This tour company is timely - after checking in we were asked to be back by 8:55am for our 9am tour, and we were walking to the vessel very shortly after. We wanted a tour that included the Arch and whale watching. We chose this tour as opposed to another tour that we were considering because there was more than 20 minutes of whale watching, and this tour WAS WORTH IT!! Towards the…”
