Baja California Sur · Desert meets Pacific
The Arch and Lover's Beach Tour with a snorkel stop is the one booking that makes a Cabo trip, and between December and April the Whale Watching Boat Trip with an All-Women Crew is the other. Beyond those it is Cabo Pulmo's living reef, the sea lions at Espiritu Santo, and the kitchens of San Jose del Cabo.

Frequently asked
Our catalogue dates the Cabo whale-watching trips December to April, and they are the only tours on this page we date. Everything else runs year round, though the Thursday Art Walk in San Jose del Cabo keeps its own seasonal calendar.
Three. The Espiritu Santo sea lions and the La Paz whale shark swim both leave from La Paz, about two hours from Cabo, and the private Todos Santos and Balandra day is a thirteen-hour round trip. Cabo Pulmo is about two hours from San Jose del Cabo and you drive yourself. The rest start in the two towns or collect you.
The Arch and Lover's Beach boat, the camel ride on the beach and the Costa Azul surf lesson all work with children. Whale watching does too, in season. The UTV and rappelling days carry operator minimum ages.
Yes, and it is why the sunset sail is on this list. The Cabo Luxury Sunset Sailing Adventure is a quiet boat; most of what a search returns for Cabo sunsets is an open bar with a sound system. The private yacht trip is the other way to avoid a crowd.
Every tour here books on GetYourGuide. We pick them and keep them checked; the operator holds the booking, the payment and the cancellation terms. We earn a commission on the links, as the page says at the bottom.
The Friday edition
Every Friday: the week’s stories from Punta Mita, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos and the Riviera Maya, with the practical pages and the tables. No offers unless you ask for them.
