Step aboard a transparent hull and watch the Sea of Cortez come alive beneath your feet. This six-hour Clear Boat tour pairs unforgettable views of El Arco with a glassblowing demo, tequila tasting, and a spin through downtown Cabo San Lucas.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The hull of the Clear Boat parts the Sea of Cortez like a glass knife, and suddenly the ocean becomes a window. From the transparent deck, schools of striped fish scroll beneath the surface while the shoreline of Cabo San Lucas unspools—sun-bleached cliffs, the famous rock arch at Land's End, and tiny coves that challenge the sea to keep their secrets. Guides call attention to pelicans lined like punctuation on exposed rocks; the boat slows, so passengers can press their faces to the rail and watch the reef move below.
