History
El Arco marks the tip of the Baja California peninsula; its granite was exposed and sculpted over millions of years and the waters around it were long used by local fishers and pearl divers.
Conservation
The bay is ecologically sensitive — use reef-safe products, avoid chasing or touching marine life, and follow operator guidance to minimize disturbance to seabirds and marine mammals.
Reserve your spot on the Cabo San Lucas Jet Ski Rental today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Arrive early for check-in
Plan to be at the meeting point 15 minutes before your slot with ID and credit card to complete waivers and a short safety briefing.
Mind the weight limits
Double passengers must not exceed 400 pounds; exceedance requires an additional jet ski to maintain balance and safety.
Protect from sun and spray
Use reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses with a retainer, and hydrate before boarding — reflections and wind increase sun exposure.
Choose morning slots for calmer water
Winds typically pick up in the afternoon; early rides are often smoother and better for getting near the Arch.

Protects skin during open-water exposure without harming marine habitats.
