By far the best of Cabo! El arco rock formations are a wonder of nature! Don’t forget to take one of the small boats that take you as close as you can get to the formation so you can get some amazing selfies and good pictures with your friends! Another great recommendation is to book your transportation from Cabo airport to your resort with Cape Transfers (they are number #1 in San José del Cabo transportation in tripadivsor and booking online on their website is super easy), the rates are good and a private suburban to your resort from sjd airport for 5 people is only like 100 usd, another must is Mango deck, it’s an excellent restaurant located just in front of el arco, they have live music and very fun live shows, another worthy mentions are all the “Tacos al pastor” stands that all over the Downtown area and they are delicious! Cabo weather is also excellent this time of the year specially for us who are Newyorkers and this time of the year is always freezing 🥶

Such a gorgeous view! Definitely recommend going and seeing this while on your trip to Cabo! We even ran across a pirate ship and a gorgeous blacked out yacht. We did a sunset cruise and were able to play music, eat food, and learn some of the interesting history. Pablo was amazing!

Had an amazing hour tour of the arch and scenery with Bluefish tours booked thru Shoreexcursioneer. Highly recommend! We ended up doing the tour with just the two of us and the boat captain! All for less than $35 total. No kidding. Best ever private tour. Our cruise ship had a tour, on a huge boat with 100+ people on it for 3x the price!!!

We took this excursion thru El Jefe Glass Bottom Boat, Los Cabos. Captain Raul was amazing. He took our group of 4 out on a private boat ride as soon as we purchased our tickets. He had funny jokes and showed a sting ray and also a huge turtle in the water, as well as, many fish. He took our pictures at El Arco, both individual and the 4 of us. If you get a chance to go on this excursion, definitely look up Raul and El Jefe Glass Bottom Boats.

In a beautiful Sunday afternoon, we 4 seniors join a cruise excursion to visit Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We gathered in the cruise Theater and got on a tender arriving the port. Riding the number 6 Bus, we visited a Glass Factory and viewed the process to make a colorful turtle. Then we arrived a Restaurant to take a picture of El Arco (The Arch) and our cruise line in far distance. Finally we went to a San Jose del Cabo (a mission church) square and enjoyed eating Illy coffee and gelato.

The Arch of Cabo San Lucas is a must-see! The view at sunset is absolutely stunning—it’s the perfect spot to soak in the beauty of Los Cabos and capture unforgettable memories. If you are on an excursion a professional photographer will be ready to take your picture with the Arch in the background. They offer you the option to purchase the photos, and they’re worth it for the quality and keepsake! Definitely recommend adding this to your itinerary for breathtaking views and a memorable experience.

El Arco de Cabo San Lucas is a beautifully scenic rock formation at Cabo San Lucas. We photographed it from several different angels and in varying degrees of light. It was awe inspiring.

A magical place with a unique energy. We planned the trip from Colombia based on the photos and reviews but once we got there we were bowled over, it really is a spectacular place worth knowing, even repeating. We turned around in a boat and loved it, the views are unique.

As every visit to the ends must not miss the visit to the arch
This time he touched us with two extraordinary people
Allan captain
Ernesto Marinero
From cabotrek company
We rented a private tour and it was really worth it
2 hours walk always well attended by Allan and Ernesto
Since we arrived at the pier we were well served by the logistics manager who was in charge of receiving us and taking us to where the boat was
It was really worth it and surely on our return we will look for Allan and Ernesto

We knew this was an attraction that everyone suggest when coming to Cabo and we had to do it. We went with Kelly Boat Cabo to get there. The arch was beautiful and they took multiple pictures for us. They will take you past the sea lion colony with them sitting on the rocks, Pelican beach area, Peninsula Rock and show to the "Pacific Window" where the Sea of Cortez water meets the Pacific Ocean. Such a beautiful place to visit.

Por favor me informa Cuanto vale el Tour al Arco de Cabo San Lucas
Written 27 June 2024
How much time should we allow to take the taxi from the cruise pier out to view the arch and back? We have some other things we want to do while there as well and have to get back to the ship by 4 o’clock
Written 24 March 2022
Hi.
So as you prob know . the cruise ships anchor out side of Cabo and you have to take a tender to the dock... Luck has it. the tender goes into the Marina where you can find EVERYTHING and really not wait. There is no shortage of water taxi and excursions from the marina to El Arco , Now its cool and a great photo op... you will prob see Sea Lions sunning themselves.. Our captain was Marteen ! he was awesome you can ask for him . everyone knows everyone.
I was walking thru marina and asked for a water taxi to take us to El Arco then to Medano Beach for lunch.. Now that being said Everyone RAVES about " the Office" awesome guacamole and Margaritas.. They are known for the sea food lunch.. we went to Mango deck wich is next door and super fun. they have contests on the beach and the staff is awesome.
So at the end of this answer ( i hope i helped) every thing you need is in the marina , where your tender will drop you off, you can get your boat ride to el arco right there . food and drinks are abundant right there.
have fun

Is it safe to go with a 20 month old baby to El Arco? What type of boat/tour would be the most recommended in this case?
Written 10 March 2021
Yes it is safe. I would recommend a dinner cruise boat. It has indoor and outdoor seating. Be sure to bring a stroller for your little one.

Hola, alguien sabe costo del tour del RIU santa fe al arco? O cual es la mejor manera de hacer el tour?
Written 10 October 2020
Trasladate a la marina en taxis! Afuera del hotel están estacionados. Camina un poco y tómalo ahí cobran 100 pesos. Y ya en la marina, busca la oficina de enva tours es el mejor tour en lanchas transparentes. Súper recomendable! Y para regresar a tu hotel toma un taxi de regreso igual cobran 100 pesos. Tmbn hay ubers.

What's the most recent (2019 or 2020) cost per person from cruise port to El Arco? We have 2 people. Do we need to pay for round trip? Or just one way at a time as we get on the boat? Thanks!
Written 3 January 2020
You pay both ways and per person $15-45 each person depending on when you go and who you ask.
Don’t pay one way, you will get stuck. Also realize the boat you come may say they will be back in an hours and may take longer depending on their next trip out. They probably wait for more travelers to board before going out to make the best of their time and gas.
The guy who sells tours closest the stair entrance to the marina fiesta resort from the marina (to the left of the stairs if you are facing away from the water) gave us a good deal-$30 per person and kid’s free, the boat was just okay
