The Arch - Los Cabos Iconic Place

There is a saying in this place, which says that if you do not visit the arch it is as if you had not come to Los Cabos. Since this natural rock formation is where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean, it's the most representative and visited place in all of Cabo San Lucas.
Here Baja California ends, after these rocks there is no more land, that's why many people call it finisterra or LANDS END.
Not only the arch, there is also the Lovers Beach, the window to the Pacific, the colony of sea lions.
A place you cannot miss to take the famous souvenir photo, in all water excursions this is one of the obligatory stops.
The captain is in charge of moving the boat all around to get in the best possible position so that people can take the photos, keep in mind that there will be a photographer who is part of the crew who will be working for you to take the best photos.
After the visit to the Cabo San Lucas ARCH, the boat will head towards the CHILENO bay, which is one of the best places in the area to practice snorkeling
Beautiful rugged landscapes
The trip to the snorkeling spot, will be at moderate speed so that you can enjoy the breathtaking views of the horizon. The mountains in the background, with the city of Cabo San Lucas are the best frame for the best photos of your vacation.
On our way we'll see Playa El Medano, in addition to world class resorts and we'll have the opportunity to see many houses and mansions of the rich and famous that have made Cabo San Lucas their favorite meeting place.

The turquoise waters are home to thousands of multicolored fish that delight all tourists who decide to do / practice snorkeling.

This snorkeling excursion includes all the equipment you need, such as fins, masks and life jackets. You will always be floating in the water, unless you are a very good swimmer and want to dive to the bottom. Before jumping into the water, the staff will give a detailed explanation about how to use the snorkeling equipment, the most important thing for beginners is, how to have a good rhythm of breathing and what to do in case water comes into the breathing tube, in addition the signals in case you need help.

Reviews
ReviewKarina
"This was the best tour I did in Cabo. The crew was awesome, pointing out whales and serving drinks. We had music and delicious refreshments. Definitely saw fish while snorkeling and the water wasn't too cold, even though it was mid-January. The photo was a good deal and a great souvenir. Next time I go back, I would definitely book again! !"
Jeff
"Boarded the Oceanus Boat Tour last week. The boat departed from the busy port of Cabo and came to show us the famous Arch. Ship was very clean and welcoming. Lots of drink options for the customers with good music on."
Michelle
"We had a brilliant family snorkelling trip with our 9 and 7 year old daughters. Janet our guide was knowledgeable and explained lots about the local history and ocean life of the area... not only do you get snorkelling gear. Great fun and excellent value for cost. We also got some wonderful photos from our onboard photographer Jonathan! Do it, it’s lots of fun... my only recommendation would be some lite bites on the boat on the way home and a better choice of refreshments."
Jeff
"Our boat was not very full so we got a lot of extra attention. The snorkeling was relaxing and it felt good to be in the water. Some fish and coral but not as picturesque as other places I've been. The crew were all very friendly and helpful"
Becky
"Amazing. Great wait staff. Always checking to see if we need new drinks. I would use them again in a minute!!!"
Jerry
"The crew was great. There were a lot of fish, but only a handful of species underwater scenary was bare no reefs.Lunch was not great either."
Robert
"Snorkeling was super fun the family enjoyed the activities and the view of the ATC and holding the sea urchins"
Mo
"We went snorkeling with Oceanus and it was so fun! The party boys Armando, JJ, and Brian were so lovely for the 45 min stretch to the calmer Beach area. The driver was an excellent driver. The drinks aren't strong and the food wasn't the best but overall fun!"
Tara
"The boat ride was ok. I would have preferred a smaller crowd. The lunch wasn’t that great either, but I did like the crew because they tried to make it fun"
Ken
"Huge catamaran made sightseeing easy. Open bar and lunch made this trip a very good value. The staff was friendly and attentive."
