Los Cabos Arch Private Express Tour On A Transparent Boat

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My best friend and I decided to take the transparent boat tour with ENVA and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! The tour was so pleasant and well organized. Our guides, Alex and his partner amed, were fantastic — they explained everything perfectly and shared great information about Baja and El Arco. You can tell they love what they do. What we loved the most was how they made us feel like we were transported to another world. Super friendly, professional, and fun. We laughed a lot, enjoyed the breathtaking views of El Arco on the crystal clear boat, and had the best day. Thank you so much to Alex and his teammate for such a memorable day. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting Cabo!

We booked a tour to the Arch on what EnvaTours' website described as a "transparent" boat. This alone was why we booked with them. When we checked in we were told that we would NOT be on a transparent boat. Instead, we'd by on a glass bottom boat (two rectangular openings in the floor of the boat to see into the water). Unfortunately, the glass openings in the floor of the boat were dirty or otherwise covered up so there was no view into the water. The guide was a nice enough man who gave descriptions of the sites in English and Spanish, which was nice. When we got to the Arch the guide used his camera to take photos of everyone on the boat sitting in front with the Arch behind them. He then offered to see the photos ($40 for four if I recall). We brought two phone camera plus a 35MM camera to get our own pictures so had no interest in buying his. He seemed disappointed about this. The frustrating thing is we spent virtually every minute of our time by the Arch with the guide taking pictures of the passengers. It made it difficult for us to get our own photos in the process. I don't have proof, but I think EnvaTours didn't have enough people for the tour we purchased several months ago to go on one of their boats, so they pawned us off on another operator, which didn't have the "transparent" boats. We were happy to have seen the Arch, but this toour did not play out as we expected so can't recommend them to others.

My family and I recently enjoyed an enva glass bottom boat tour to Los Arcos. The guide Raul and captain Tomas were experienced, entertaining and friendly. They did a great job navigating the waters and teaching us about Los Cabos. We got amazing photos along the way. You can book through your resort or go to the marina and book at your convenience (cheaper). Boats depart every 30 minutes.

Quick but fun tour in a transparent boat to the arch of CSL. Our guide and photographer, "Chapulin," was awesome and kept us entertained and educated about the area the boats in the marina and the architecture. He took great photos of us and of course we had to have them all.

We had an amazing time on the Cabo Arch tour with EnvaTours. This experience was definitely a highlight of our trip. The clear boat itself was a fun and unique way to see the Arch and Lover's Beach. The views were incredible, offering fantastic photo opportunities and we loved seeing the fish swimming beneath us. Be sure to ask for Amed, who was a fantastic tour guide. He took time to get to know us, explain the area and culture of Cabo and helped with some amazing photos.

This review is for Photographer Luis and Captain Martin – the dream team! Martin brought a calming, kind presence, while Luis kept us laughing the whole time with his jokes and lively energy. Together, they made our tour incredibly fun and memorable. Both were so knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely a joy to be around. We loved every moment of the experience thanks to them. Huge thanks to Luis and Martin for making it so special!

The staff and crew were hospitable and knowledgeable. They shared historical, cultural, and environmental information during the tour and gladly answered our questions. A photographer accompanied us on the tour and provided excellent professional photos!

Nacho was very funny and informative! Very good tour and I highly recommended! Nice photos as well! It was worth every penny 🥰🥰🥰

Working with EnvaTours is nothing but seamless and professional. This 1 hour tour in the transparent boat was fun and informative. The captain and tour guide were both great.

Would give it 5 stars if there wasn’t a photographer. She was an amazing guide and photographer but we were not able to get good photos on our phones. We did not buy any photos.

The tour was well coordinated, punctual, and very enjoyable. Our tour guide, Pedro, made the experience engaging and fun. His photography skills are awesome. It’s people like him who make the experience a memorable one. Highly recommend this tour. Ask for Pedro!

Issac was our guide, and he was so knowledgeable and entertaining, and he took lots of pictures of our group and of the sights as well. Erwin was our boat captain, and he was absolutely excellent and maneuvered our boat expertly in the shallows so we could see the fish and made it look easy to hold position in the waves and surge around the Arch. They packed a lot of sights into a one-hour excursion, from the antics of the local sea lions to the pelicans and cormorants to the genuinely spectacular rock formations and of course the fish! Coaxed closer with a few tortillas I might add :-D To be honest, I wasn't really expecting much from a "boat ride" but Issac made the experience great fun and Erwin's calm expertise allowed us to just relax and enjoy the sights. I can definitely recommend.

This was a great tour. Lots of great photo opportunities. We saw fish under the boat and great views of El Arco. Pedro took lots of great photos for everyone.

Amazing tour! I can never go on a regular boat again! Friendly staff and very accommodating when we had to reschedule due tonour cruise boat being late. Highly recommend!

The clear boat is very cool but this tour was too short and we spent way too much time with the guide doing photos of everyone at the Arcos instead of cruising around the Arcos more or stopping to look at fish through clear boat Also not much information about the area provided Some confusion at the check in - we were told to go down to the dock 5 minutes before departure but then the guide arrived with the group and said we were supposed to meet at office. I would recommend going on a bit of a longer tour to see outer part of the Arcos

This tour was the highlight of our trip! We booked super last minute and were able to board the 5:30pm sailing in time to catch an amazing sunset through the arch! My kids loved the see-through boat (other companies advertise glass bottom but this 1 truly is all see-through). Our guide/photographer Nacho was super friendly, knowledgeable and fun - the photo package is definitely worth it. Search no further, this is the tour you want!

Had a great tour in a fully transparent boat and it was great! Victor was our captain and Nacho the guide. Very informative, funny and entertaining. I would highly recommend

Name of the boat captain - Caesar. On a beautiful sunny day we are on the glass bottom boat operated by Enva Tours. There is a nice breeze keeping body temperature cool. Captain is showing us Sea Lions, expensive yachts docked including the one by Will Smith. Talking about history Arch and boat is cruising through water and suddenly a tourist’s hat flew away with wind and landed in ocean water. That tourist panicked and seeked help from Captain and our captain is running around the boat with broomstick to hunt for her hat swimming away in ocean breeze. Other tourists including us experiencing sea saw roller coaster moment and despite of all of us shouting at captain feeling scared by his actions, he was determined to bring back the lost hat of beautiful lady to impress her. Eventually he got hold of hat but all other tourists were scared as hell during that moment. Avoid this tour company and especially this captain Caesar at all cost.

Mich our guide was awesome and the views were spectacular Very knowledgeable and answered any and all questions Truly one of the best stops on our Cabo tour so far Also recommended a great local lunch spot which we enjoyed immensely thanks Michelle. Hope we see you again.

This was a beautiful tour to Land's End and Lover's Arch. It was unique to travel by transparent boat. We were able to see pelicans, sea lions, cormorants, and some fish through the bottom of the boat. There was a professional photographer who took photos of those onboard. The one piece of negative feedback was that the photos were very expensive. It cost $64 to obtain all of the digital photos and $38 for two printed photos.

Nacho (our guide) and Miguel (our captain) did a great job teaching us about the landmarks and navigating us through a somewhat busy traffic morning. We were able to stop and take many pictures and Nacho took some great ones of us at the arch. It was a beautiful morning with little-to-no seas - very enjoyable!

The views were beautiful, Captain Miguel was pleasant and respectful. Nacho was great!. He took wonderful pictures. The only thing not his fault the quality of the picture paper. It takes away the beauty of the pictures. Otherwise everything was wonderful!

We had a wonderful experience with Enva Tours in Cabo. When we arrived to check in they couldn’t find our reservations in their system, but they were very patient with us and took the time to figure it out. We had a wonderful tour with our tour guide to the arch and got to see pelicans, sea lions, and lots of fish in the clear bottom boat. Our tour guide was silly and fun and gave us a lot of information about Cabo while on our tour. We got such great pictures and enjoyed our hour long boat ride. Definitely recommend.

This was a blast! Super cool to see all the fish underneath the boat. Very friendly staff. Ivan crushed it as the guide! He was awesome and made the experience really enjoyable.

The marina area is a very busy part of Cabo, and has minimal parking near where their office is. Plan ahead for traffic as well. Their office is not the easiest to locate even with their map they provide. It is on the interior of the Plaza Bonita shopping mall. You will need to check-in there for your tour, and then you wait until your time. There are multiple boats going out at the same times. Once you get to the boat, in order to keep the bottom of the boat from getting scratched you will need to remove your shoes, and then put on a life jacket once on board. You are expected to remain in your seat the entire tour. The fish will come up to boat once they stop out near the arch, as they expect to get fed. The tour guide will want to take pictures the entire time, so they can sell them to you once you get back to the office. If you enjoy your tour, you are expected and firmly encouraged to tip your guide and the boat captain.

It was ok hard to understand the people the photos they try to sell was of poor quality and the price was high .. the boat and driver was great

Your guide ransel y captain marcos did a great tour. Highly recommended. Love it. Great family time

Ricky was on time for pickup, such a professional guys and knowledgeable about the town. He wa very enthusiastic and entertaining. He was amazing. The company overall is also amazing. Would definitely use it again

In the beginning, the tour started out beautiful and amazing. Do not let this tour guide or this company trick you. They make you think that they are taking photos for your own benefit. They grab you and make you stand and do all of these poses not once did they mention that there is going to be a cost for these photos. I am not that naïve so I did expect there to be a certain cost now what ended up happening was while we were on the boat he only took photos of the people on the boat using his professional camera, not giving anyone the opportunity to use their phone so that at the end of the trip you are stuck and have to purchase a photo from him now keep in mind that up until the end of the trip, there was no announcement made that photos were going to be printed for a fee again I did assume there would be a fee just not the fee that was given to us the entire trip cost $120 for two people when we arrived to the checkout and Photo station he wanted to charge us $172 for all of our photos and $38 for each photo and when I said to him, this is insane, and he didn’t even mention that there was going to be a fee for the photos. He tried to use the excuse that his English probably did not translate well enough, but he is a con man, and this company is a con, also. Because when I turned around and ask the other people on my boat, who are only Spanish-speaking customers, all of them said that there was no announcement made in Spanish either that these photos would cost this much money. He did not tell anyone they lore you into taking photos on their camera by calling themselves your paparazzi making you take all of these beautiful photos with all of the scenic views, knowing that you will end up having to get at least one photo from them because you did not take anything on your own personal phone It is a trick and it completely ruined the entire experience for us and I just want to warn everyone before booking a trip with him to make sure you use your own phone or bring your own professional camera and do not allow them to trick you the way they trick so many innocent people who are just going on a vacation and wanting to have a good time. It is completely insane. The photos cost more than the entire boat ride.

In the 30+ times I have been to Cabo, many of them have included boat trips. Some trips I have been lucky enough to cruise on beautiful luxury charters and on other trips, I have experienced some boats that I would like to forget, mostly during my college spring break days. The Private Clear Boat tour will be added to my list of delightful Cabo boat experiences. I was hosting a Bachelorette where it was the Bride's first time visiting Cabo so naturally she asked to get out on the water and see the famous El Arco. Because of our busy itinerary, doing an all day luxury boat trip was not an option. I took a gamble and booked the clear boat because the photos looked fun and the price was right! Juan was our captain and we also opted in for the photography package... totally worth it for the memories and let's be honest, the perfect insta moment! Edgar was our photographer and was the best stage mom helping our group to pose well and get THE SHOT! The trip was the perfect amount of time, fast enough not to get sea sick but leisurely enough to see the important landmarks, snap some photos, soak up the sun, and say we cruised the Sea of Cortez. Our bachelorette trip was full of five star hotels and luxurious amenities so some of the girls expressed doubts about how touristy or cheap the clear boat would feel in comparison to the rest of the itinerary. Everyone LOVED the clear boat and said it was the perfect addition to the trip! Pro tip: Book a PRIVATE TOUR and pay the extra for the photography package because the photos are beautiful. Also you will avoid feeling like a tourist because each boat is automatically equipped with a photographer that will bring you back to the main office after the trip and show you the photos and attempt to upsell. The photos are VERY MUCH WORTH IT, so buy them upfront and avoid the sales pitch. Arrival tip: check-in for each trip is 30 minutes before departure where you are asked to wait outside where there is no seating and very little shade. If you plan it right, you can check in and go around the corner for a quick drink... BUT DON'T BE LATE! Otherwise, I recommend wearing good sun protection (hat, sunglasses) and bringing a cold drink while you linger for 20-30 mins. There are little markets that also sell cold beverages in the plaza so bring pesos.

Booked 2 private charters on their clear boats. Was a fun experience - boats were well maintained, as were the life jackets etc.

He had a super experience and knowledge. The tour staff, Alex and Amed, thank you for your explanation of this beautiful city, San Lucas

I recommend this tour as it was nice my experience. Ignacio who was our guide, very nice. You can schedule it from arrival at the airport (it was cheaper) in the hotel also offered, we had already bought it, minimum difference already in the agency, it is in Plaza Bonita near the marina, lasts 1 hour and if you go with children it is wonderful for them. It lasts 1 hr which is enough for the activity, you go through the arc, time standing to see the fish banks and exclusive time for your photos, they take some photos, they also support you with your cell phone if you go alone and have your photo on your cell phone and the others if you want to buy them with them.

Enrique and Isaiah were the best, the story was super amazing, they were very friendly. The camera failed them but they were very kind, but it didn't matter because they did a very good job.

Excellent attention and service provided by our friend Toño, very nice ✌🏻 Deservedly and undoubtedly earned his five little stars ✨✨✨✨✨

Great service, the boat was in good condition, and it was great fun with Pedro, made a great atmosphere, super recommended!🫶🏻

Unfortunately the tour time is very short, lasts 40 min and apart from the cost of their very expensive photos, the bad that they do not let you take or support you with your cell phone for the purpose of buying their photos. Oh, yeah. Good for asking for a tip

Excellent service and attention from Juan y Perla photographer and receptionist Always very friendly, tour recommended to live the experience

Super recommended Captain Victor super friendly and Pro, congratulations. The whole experience of the tour is worth a lot.

The views were incredible and the guide, Ricardo, made it very fun, he takes you to the most beautiful points and makes you have a great time. I highly recommend

It was great, we loved going with Alejandro, he is very fun and friendly! Excellent photographs and the landscape is beautiful

Perfect service from Alejandro and Ivan, their service was excellent! I would definitely return :) so happy with the service

We had Alejandro Guia and Luis Capitan, everything was very cool. I will return with my girlfriend and her family, very friendly and charismatic, attentive.

fun and enjoyable, an excellent option to see the arch and enjoy with family or friends, a very familiar atmosphere

To register, they ask you to fill out a form with your name and signature, which takes 1 minute... Leto will make you leave the offices to take him outside because his air conditioning is worn out. How ridiculous and we were two people and they only let one in and when they were going to put the bracelet on it turns out that they took me out again so that the other person could enter, really, such absurd rules but that is if it has more than 15 people from the company talking, we will really have to improve that or look for other options

An excellent tour! Very good explanation from Ramses and his partner, they are very kind and very good photos! I would repeat without hesitation!

The tours were amazing, our guide Luis super professional and nice. The photos were spectacular. I would definitely do it again and recommend it 100%.

Excellent experience, excellent boat, good staff, good weather, quality price, part of his business is to take photos, but you can also use your devices.

Thank you very much to our guides Adan and Ivan. We had a great time, the beautiful views, the history of every beach and mountain!! We will definitely come back again!
