Activities in Los Cabos
Being such an eclectic destination and with a wide variety of areas, environments and companies that are responsible for offering incredible tours, in the following 25 options we offer everything you need to please both, yours and your family tastes, and get an unforgettable vacation.
1. Atv Desert Adventures
If you thought that Los Cabos was just sand, sun and fun, you are wrong, because not only the beaches of this beautiful destination are the only interesting activity that the area offers.
Cabo Adventures is one of the most popular companies when it comes to fun-filled tours and the ATV Desert Adventures is one of them.
This Tour (and also the Off Road Adventure Tour), is an all-terrain adventure that will allow you to know in a unique way all the desert of Baja California either in a UTV or in an AVT.
There is nothing better than appreciating the beautiful arid nature of Los Cabos while you enjoy driving these vehicles and your adrenaline levels rise at the same time, learning about all the regional Fauna and Flora thanks to the tour guides (who are experts in the area).
Depending on the tour you choose the costs can vary, but the approximate range for these is between $ 132-302.
Is there a better way to start your vacation than with a little fun and get your adrenaline levels rise? A tour you won’t regret as confirmed by several Tripadvisor’s reviews:
A Sure Win/Win Outing!: It was a win/win day for all of us! We followed our leader on his ATV at breakneck speeds (slowing when needed) across the mountainous terrains, down gully’s, splashing through river beds, and along the sandy beaches and desert dry washes. Our girls pushed him and he challenged us even more, but he was also courteous and cautious. Best 4 hours total spent.

2. Sailboat Ride at Sunset
Just as Los Cabos can offer you an action-packed adventure on an ATV, it’s very easy for this destination to change drastically and offer you in the same way a quiet evening, full of peace, with a romantic atmosphere and with the promise of the most beautiful spectacle it can offer: A sunset over the Cortes Sea.
Los Cabos has the reputation of having the most impressive sunsets, because being surrounded by that magnificent blue, the mixture of colors in that almost nocturnal twilight is incredible. Therefore Cabo Adventures gives you the opportunity to be a spectator of this wonderful view in one of its beautiful sailboats.
The sailing time will depend on the wind and the sea, but you can enjoy an incredible time on board, an open bar and the most beautiful sunset. All this for a cost of $90.
A pleasant experience that is worthwhile, and this is confirmed by one of the TripAdvisor users:
Sunset sailing: We put together the e for the price of 2 Cabo Adventures tours and this was our third choice. It was really nice, better than expected. Crew have this whole experience perfected. Just enough humor mixed with safety requirements. Highly recommend it.

And to continue with a day full of adventure, how about an outdoor experience with one of the best zip-line circuits of Los Cabos?
Once again Cabo Adventures offers you the opportunity to feel that your adrenaline levels rise and enjoy the incredible Los Cabos scenery and nature through this tour.
“Abseil from the steep stone walls, challenge the suspension bridge, slide over the zip line before swinging over the canyon in our new attraction “The Pendulum” “… Exactly this is what they promise in the description of this extreme activity, and if that’s not fun then I don’t know what it is!
One more way to look for adventure in the Cabo for a cost of $130, something that according to the reviews is totally worth it:
Outdoor Adventure: Outdoor Adventure was Awesome! It consisted of ziplining, pendulum swing, rock climbing, cable bridge crossing, repelling, and afterwards you can drive UTV’s through the trails. The Green Team were our guides and they were awesome, made you feel comfortable and safe and didn’t pressure you into doing anything you weren’t comfortable doing or didn’t want to do. f you enjoy the outdoors and physical activity, i highly recommend Cabo Adventures-Outdoor Adventure!

A tour worthwhile, as commented by one of the Tripadvisor reviews:
One of our best snorkel trips ever: My husband and I took the Cabo Adventures Cabo Pulmo snorkel trip. We’ve snorkeled in Hawaii and The Great Barrier Reef, And this tour was as good. We stopped at 5 areas and were given plenty of time to snorkel at each. We saw gigantic schools of fish (thousands), turtles, sea lions, and lots of other types of fish. It’s a gorgeous location with mountains all along the shore. The company is very professional, Oliver was our guide and did a great job!. Don’t miss this day trip!

Swimming with dolphins is one of the most fun and entertaining activities when you travel with your family. An activity you can enjoy from the smallest to the largest and getting a pleasant time during a dream vacation.

Took this boat ride and it was exactly what you would expect.The boat itself is different than other traditional glass bottom boat. They feed the fish tortillas to attract them near the boat. Mexican fish are friendly if you have tortillas and a yellow submarine.

12. Outback & Camel Safari
Although the marine life tour Los Cabos offer is wonderful, it’s not the only thing you can do during your trip, as there are many other activities to add to your list that have nothing to do with the marine world.
One of them is Outback & Camel Safari, with which you will have the opportunity to know and admire the most beautiful landscapes of Baja California on a friendly camel.

14. A calm day in Chileno Beach
It’s time to start to talk about one of the main attractions of Los Cabos: its majestic beaches.
Chileno Beach is one of the most beautiful and cleanest beaches in the tourist corridor. A place usually visited by locals, it is a beautiful blue waters jewel that you should visit during your stay in Los Cabos.
If what you want is a quiet place that is not too crowded with tourists and that offers you calm waters for the ideal family enjoyment, Chileno Beach is the place for you, as this review confirms this fact:
Beautiful, calm sea: Get to this beach early for a dreamy swim. Some boats come in late morning and afternoon with snorkels so it can get crowded later. Lovely place for family time. Safe waters for the little ones.
https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g152515-d186111-r665945312-Chileno_Beach-Cabo_San_Lucas_Los_Cabos_Baja_California.html
15. A Fun Day at Medano Beach
If Chileno Beach was a quiet place, Medano Beach is the opposite.
For all spring breakers and all tourists who want a time full of water sports and fun, Medano Beach is the ideal place.
It’s the area’s main swimming beach and a favorite of all visitors to Cabo San Lucas, covering several miles of restaurants and shops.
A safe stop to enjoy the sun, sand and fun of Los Cabos:
Great beach for sunbathing and people watching: Always love a day or two at Medano Beach. The vendors are present but not pushy, a massage, a stroll along the beach, and the views. Medano Beach is a must at least one day every time we visit.
https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g152515-d186117-r665721352-Medano_Beach-Cabo_San_Lucas_Los_Cabos_Baja_California.html
16. Make a visit to the famous Arch
The Arch is one of the main attractions of Los Cabos. Located in Cabo San Lucas, it is a beautiful rock formation that is taken as the main symbol of the city.
A visit to this natural wonder is essential if you travel to Los Cabos, in addition to having two beautiful beaches nearby where you can enjoy a day full of water activities and a breathtaking view.
And to make sure you have no doubts, this is confirmed by a review of Tripadvisor:
Stunning A must in your Cabo trip! This is absolutely beautiful. Take the boat ride but don’t fall for the glass bottom boat. It is a small scratched window and you can’t see a thing. Any boat you take you will get breathtaking views.
https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g152515-d152880-r665921368-El_Arco_de_Cabo_San_Lucas-Cabo_San_Lucas_Los_Cabos_Baja_California.html
17. Lover’s Beach and Divorce Beach
Since we mentioned that The Arch should be a safe stop on your visit to Los Cabos, it automatically implies that Lover’s Beach and Divorce Beach are a mandatory stop as well, as these are the two beaches that are a few meters from that immense rock that represents the city.
The only difference between the two is that Divorce Beach does not have safe water for swimming, although its view is impressive. So when you visit this beautiful place, be sure to swim alone on the Lover’s Beach side to avoid any accidents:
Should have spent more time here: On a whim, my gf and I took a water taxi to Lover’s Beach and walked over to Divorced Beach. It was nearly empty, beautiful rock formations and crashing waves, and a great view of the Pacific. We wished we had knew it was so beautiful before we went because we would have brought a picnic and stayed longer.

18. The night begins at Nowhere Bar
It’s time to forget the water, the ocean, the extreme activities and strictly concentrate on the fun!
Los Cabos can be a place full of partying and fun, especially if you head to Cabo San Lucas (the place where the party never ends).
Nowhere Bar is one of the most visited when it comes to a good beer and a good atmosphere. Distract yourself and go out and have fun at its facilities (which, by the way, is girls’ night on Tuesdays and women drink for free from 8pm to 10pm).
It’s an experience you don’t want to miss, as a good drink, good music and a dance floor is more than enough to have an unforgettable night! And so say many users of Tripadvisor:
Every night starts at the Nowhere bar… Each night in Cabo you must stop here after dinner to start getting the feel for the night. Sometimes you never leave, sometimes you leave after a few hours. Great location, great service. If you like you can order sushi here as well from the next door sushi place and it is good. A must while in Cabo.

19. Squid Roe
And to follow the night out, another nightlife place not to be missed is Squid Roe, the most popular dance club in Cabo San Lucas.
If you thought that the party mood at Nowhere Bar was incredible, at Squid Roe we can say that it’s the same and even that the level goes up a little bit more, since from the moment you enter it’s inevitable that fun doesn’t invade your body.
A place to have a good time and enjoy the best of the nightlife in the area, and a mandatory stop according to many reviews:
Great place! We love El Squid Roe! We always stop for drinks and Guacamole! The staffs antics are always a surprise and so much fun! If you’re in Cabo you have to stop by! We prefer early to mid afternoon since it’s less crowded then. If you want the nightlife experience stop in the evening and it will be hopping!

20. The Office on the Beach
And to finish off with the most popular places for a good drink and a nice time, this The Office: It’s never been so wonderful to say you’re at The Office!
A restaurant with delicious Mexican food and the best beach atmosphere in Los Cabos. The best way to spend an afternoon with live entertainment and a unique view.
One of the favorites of all visitors to Los Cabos and one of the activities that must be on your list to have a total experience in this beautiful destination:
Great place for good fun and Fun atmosphere Whenever on the beach in Cabo we will never miss an opportunity to head to the office. A spectacular place for great food, fun waiters, and a party environment for all. We have been here dozens of times and never find it less rewarding for a great food experience with excellent Margaritas to enjoy while sitting under a shelter on the Beach. Go dine, drink and join the party as it’s always spectacular.

21. A time of Golf in Cabo del Sol
Los Cabos is not only famous for having beautiful beaches and being a destination full of luxury and fun. It is also well known for having the best golf courses in Mexico, and even some of them are the best in the world.
If you are a fan to this sport, any of the Golf courses that you get in the Tourist Corridor will be an ideal stop during your stay, but especially if you decide to go to Cabo del Sol.
The place where you can see that Cabo is a place of First Class Golf, and this is demonstrated through its two golf courses: Desert Golf and Ocean Golf.
Don’t miss the opportunity and practice this sport as a professional on the best courses in the world. You won’t regret it:
One of the best! What an amazing experience playing this course!!! This course in my opinion has the BEST Bermuda greens i’ve ever played on! excellent customer service all around! Big thanks to Jorge Ibarra for accommodating myself and my wife! Will be back and a must play in Cabo!

22. Enjoy the Todos Santos Galleries
Art can never be absent, wherever you go. This is why taking a tour of the beautiful galleries offered by Todos Santos is a must for your list.
Enjoy yourself with all that local and international artists have to show you, and learn a little about the country’s culture through these beautiful tours offered by this charming little town.
Places like the “Galería Todos Santos” and “Galería Logan” are among the most visited and favorite of the place:
The most professional gallery in town Excellent Gallery space with a wide variety of art styles to choose from. Artist, Michael Cope is the owner and one of the participating artists. The space here is huge with lots of natural light so viewing the art is a tranquil experience.
https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g150777-d153626-r565319174-Galeria_de_Todos_Santos-Todos_Santos_Baja_California.html

23. San José del Cabo’s Culture
And just as art can’t be missing, a little of the culture and history of the place can’t be omitted either.
This is why visiting the colonial quarter of San José del Cabo is an activity that should be on your list so that you get the most complete experience during your trip to Los Cabos.
You can take a tour that takes you to the most representative places such as its square and church and take home a piece of the interesting history of this place. In addition, for architecture lovers, this tour can be a unique experience.
24. La Coyota
The best place to take home the best memories of Mexican crafts is La Coyota, and for that reason it should be a safe stop on your trip to Los Cabos.
It is one of the places with the most beautiful and the best quality crafts, being a place quite visited and really worth knowing.
There’s not much more to say about this place, as only a few reviews of Tripadvisor can tell you exactly why this place is so amazing:
A totally Unique Shopping Experience If you love the decorating at the restaurants The Office, Edith’s and Tres Sirena’s then you’ll love La Coyota. It’s owned by the same people and has the video of those restaurants and so much more. The building itself is an experience and each room reveals new treasures for every room of your home. If you are looking for unique gifts and beautiful pieces of art, you’ll find them here. I saw many things at La Coyota I havent’ found in Cabo for years!

Fantastic! An incredible experience – from the art to the old home, definitely worth the trip. It’s a little difficult to find – I would definitely recommend taking a taxi. The prices are fair and the selection and quality far exceed other places I’ve shopped in Cabo. We spent about 30 minutes there, but next time I’ll have the taxi come back in an hour because there are so many rooms.
