About this experience
Enjoy two icons of our destination: El Arco and Chileno Bay! This tour is perfect for families and couples looking for a balanced mix of sightseeing, culture, and beach time.
We begin at the Cabo San Lucas Marina, where you will board one of our glass-bottom boats.

Our experienced crew will take you to Land’s End, where you’ll admire unique rock formations and capture photos of the iconic Arch.
After the boat ride, enjoy a tequila tasting and some shopping time in Cabo San Lucas, followed by a visit to a traditional blown glass factory.
The tour continues to Chileno Bay, one of Cabo’s top Blue Flag–certified beaches. Your guide will set up a beach umbrella so you can relax and enjoy the scenery. For those seeking more adventure, snorkel in the clear waters and discover the underwater beauty of the Sea of Cortez.
