Have to go and have a photo. You can get a water taxi for about $25 for an hour ride and all the information you need.

it is the must see attraction, which can only be accessed by boat, do not eat a lot before getting on the boat as the seas gets very choppy, specially on the pacific side. Our tiny boat had a mechanical issue, the engine will not start, and we were heading right into a collision path with the many rocks around... More

Okay it's an incredibly touristy thing to do but you gotta do it. We went by water taxi one day, and they also dropped us off at Pelican rock nearby to snorkel for a few hours (a bit crowded but pretty good snorkeling). Two days later, we rented a jet ski and went over quite close to the rock and... More

This was a spectacularly beautiful glass-bottom boat tour. That being said the boat ride itself was terrifying to me. We were always safe but the swells were well over 15 ft above our heads and our guide was getting us as close to the sheer rock face of the walls of El Arco as his motor would allow. Again, safe,...

C'mon, just look at the pic. There are many ways to see it up close, plus the rest of land's end, including the colony of playful seals (sea lions?). We rented two double kayaks, packed up snorkels and a sandwich and combined an up close view of the Arco with a visit to Lover's beach and snorkeling about Pelikan's rock.... More

The crew were very friendly and made the cruise fun! They even had a photographer and also took photos of us with our cameras as we neared El Arco. Sunset cruise is highly recommended. This is my second time going on the sunset cruise with them.

We did this as a sunset tour with cabo escapes. So much fun. The ride included a view of lovers beach and an above average dinner. Do it.

The famous Los Arcos - the Arch in Cabos is truly an inspirational place. Many boats and snorkeling tours will take you close and depending on the time of the year you can maybe even walk there from Cabo San Lucas port along the sandy little beaches.

Great place to spend some time! Snorkeling was awesome, hire a guide from the beach, it's worth it. He dove down and brought up puffer fish for us to hold. Had an underwater camera and got great pictures.
