Outing Highlights
The Arch at Dawn
The trip culminates with the Arch of Cabo San Lucas framed by the first light of day — an intimate, low‑angle view that highlights the scale and sculpted textures of the rock.
Lover’s Beach and Rock Formations
You paddle past striking rock formations and through waters that open onto Lover’s Beach, a compact stretch of shoreline set against the region’s characteristic cliffs.
A Sea‑Lion Colony from the Water
Early departure brings quiet seas and the chance to observe a nearby sea‑lion colony from your board without the crowds that arrive later in the day.
