My Daughter’s First Time Snorkeling at The Arch in Cabo: A Memory We’ll Never Forget 🐠

There are some travel moments you know you'll remember forever.

For me, one of those moments happened in Cabo San Lucas 3 days ago, when I watched my daughter put on a snorkel mask for the very first time and discover a world that had been hidden just beneath the surface of the water.

As a travel advisor, I spend a lot of time helping people plan unforgettable vacations. But this trip reminded me why we travel in the first place: the memories, the wonder, and those moments that leave you speechless.

Our Adventure Started at The Arch

If you've ever visited Cabo, you know that The Arch (El Arco) is one of the most iconic landmarks in Mexico.

Located at Land's End where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez, The Arch is one of those places that looks just as incredible in person as it does in photos.

The boat ride alone was worth it.

We cruised past dramatic rock formations, sea lion colonies lounging in the sun, and crystal-clear turquoise water that looked almost unreal.

Then came the moment my daughter had been waiting for.

The First Snorkel Experience

I'll be honest.

As excited as she was, I wasn't sure how she'd react once it was actually time to get in the water.

Would she be nervous?

Would the snorkel feel weird?

Would she last five minutes and want back on the boat?

Instead, the exact opposite happened.

The second she put her face underwater, her entire expression changed.

Suddenly there were colorful fish everywhere.

Schools of fish darted beneath us. Bright blues, yellows, and silvers flashed through the water. She kept popping her head up just long enough to say:

'Mom! Did you see that one?!'

Then right back underwater she'd go.

Why Cabo Is Perfect for First-Time Snorkelers

One thing that surprised me was how beginner-friendly snorkeling in Cabo can be.

Near The Arch and Lover's Beach, the water is often calm enough for first-timers to feel comfortable while still offering incredible visibility.

For families considering a Cabo vacation, snorkeling is one of those excursions that works for almost everyone.

You don't need certification.

You don't need experience.

You just need a mask, a snorkel, and a little curiosity.

The Best Part Had Nothing to Do With the Fish

The fish were amazing.

The views were incredible.

But my favorite part was watching my daughter gain confidence.

Travel has a way of doing that.

It introduces kids to new experiences, pushes them outside their comfort zones, and shows them just how big and beautiful the world really is.

Watching her excitement, hearing her laugh, and seeing her completely immersed in the experience made this excursion worth every penny.

Why Cabo Continues to Be One of My Favorite Destinations

Cabo offers so much more than beautiful resorts.

You can:
  • Snorkel at The Arch
  • Visit Lover's Beach
  • Watch sea lions up close
  • Go whale watching (seasonally)
  • Take sunset cruises
  • Enjoy incredible food and nightlife
  • Relax at stunning luxury resorts
It's one of those destinations that works for couples, families, friend groups, and multigenerational travelers alike.

And if you're looking for a destination that combines adventure with relaxation, Cabo deserves a spot at the top of your list.

    9 Certificates & Awards

    Hyatt Inclusive Collection
    Hyatt Inclusive Collection

    The Certified Confidant designation is earned through Hyatt's Inclusive Collection Confidant Collective program — the official training and certification platform for one of the most prestigious luxury all-inclusive portfolios in the world. Earning it requires completing ten core Confidant Learning courses, passing each with a score of 85% or higher covering the full portfolio of Hyatt's all-inclusive brands including Secrets, Dreams, Breathless, Zoëtry, Hyatt Ziva, Hyatt Zilara, Hyatt Vivid, and more — spanning Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and beyond.


    For you, that means when I recommend a Hyatt Inclusive Collection property, I know the difference between brands, room categories, and experiences — and exactly which one fits your trip. Not every resort is right for every traveler, and this certification means I can guide you to the one that's actually right for you.

    Certified Sandals Specialist
    Certified Sandals Specialist

    The Certified Sandals Specialist designation is one of the most recognized credentials in luxury all-inclusive travel. Earning it requires completing an in-depth training program covering every aspect of the Sandals and Beaches resort portfolios — room categories, destinations, inclusions, group experiences, and destination weddings.


    The program spans 21 lessons across four chaptera covering everything from resort comparisons to booking strategy — and it covers both brands. Sandals is the gold standard in adults-only, luxury all-inclusive Caribbean travel. Beaches extends that same level of quality to family travel.


    For you, that means when I recommend a Sandals or Beaches resort, I'm not pulling from a website — I'm drawing on specialized, brand-certified knowledge of exactly what each property offers and which one is right for your trip.

    Briana is an absolute rockstar! She took time to listen to what we were looking for and searched until we found the perfect spot! She checked in multiple times leading up to the trip. Made sure all of my questions were answered-and there were A LOT of questions! Never made me feel like I was a bother. Everything went smoothly and I know that’s in large part to having her book and schedule everything for us! We are already planning our next trip with her! Highly recommend!

    BEST WE'VE HAD
    BEST WE`VE HAD

    Thank you so much for helping us plan our trip! We had a wonderful time! Secrets the Vine was a fantastic little resort, perfect for shorter trips! Food was overall fantastic, the view from our room was probably the best we’ve had out of all the countries and resorts we’ve stayed at, and the service was amazing also. My only complaint was that they do not have enough pool or beach seating. So many people wake up at 5am to go throw towels on chairs for the day that if you don’t get up that early you’re SOL until someone leaves later in the day. We ended up having to rent a beach cabana one day to get on the beach at all.

    Outstanding planning and direction. Called on a whim, two days later I’m sipping a cool drink beach/poolside in another country. 1st class service brought me first class experience. The destination treated me like a king.No issues. The nice thing is, as a senior, Bre set my WhatsApp with her so I felt like , although 1900 miles away, I had a safety unmbrella over. Bre made sure I was covered for any medical emergency to have an critical path back home if needed. Bre , through general conversation my meal preference picked out for my flights! (Sliders were awesome). They already knew! That about covers a seemlessoperation. Thanks Bre, Yellowstone USA next. MFStone
