Kayak and Snorkel tour at Pelican Rock

About

This tour paddles you along the southern coast from the marina to the Arch, then stops at Pelican Rock for snorkeling. The 150-minute outing runs by kayak or paddleboard—you pick at the start—and guides stick to the protected bay side, so the water's usually flat enough for beginners. Pelican Rock sits just past Lover's Beach, where the reef drops off and you'll see tropical fish, rays if you're lucky, and occasionally sea lions circling below. The $99 price includes gear and a guide who handles the route and safety brief. Six reviews on the operator's listing all rate it five stars, which is a clean record but a small sample—take that for what it is. Most departures go early morning when the bay's quieter and visibility's better. You'll be back by lunch. If you've never kayaked in open water, this is a controlled way to see the Arch from sea level without booking a panga.
