Destination

Los Cabos, Mexico

Los Cabos excursions blend water activities — fishing, snorkeling, whale watching — with desert and coastal adventures. El Arco, the Corridor, and day trips to Todos Santos or La Paz are easy to add to any stay.

Water Activities

Sport fishing, snorkeling at Pelican Rock, whale watching (Dec–Apr), and glass-bottom boat tours to El Arco are the classics. Book through your hotel or at the marina; compare prices for fishing charters.

Desert and Land

ATV and UTV tours in the desert, camel rides on the beach, and zip lines are widely available. Sunset cruises and party boats cater to different crowds. Most activities run $40-150 per person.

Day Trips

Todos Santos (art town, about 1 hour) and La Paz (beaches, sea lions, 2 hours) are popular. Rent a car or join a tour. La Paz snorkeling with sea lions is a highlight.

Insider Tips

  • Book whale watching in advance for peak season
  • Glass-bottom boat to El Arco is the budget-friendly option
  • Todos Santos is best as a half- or full-day trip
  • Compare marina vs hotel tour desks for fishing
