Cabo San Lucas: Sunset Dinner Cruise & Tequila Tasting Tour

Summary

Sunset cruise laughter tequila tasting & city stroll in Cabo

You’ll taste real tequila in downtown Cabo San Lucas, wander lively plazas with a local guide, then cruise past El Arco on a catamaran as the sun sets over Lover’s Beach. Enjoy an open bar, buffet dinner, live music and easy hotel pickup—plus those small moments you can’t plan for.

What’s the experience like?

“You haven’t tried real tequila until you’ve done it with locals,” our guide joked as we squeezed into the little tasting room in downtown Cabo San Lucas. I’d thought I knew what to expect — but nope, the first sip was warm and earthy, not that sharp stuff from college days. The air outside was thick with the smell of grilled corn and sunscreen. We wandered through the plaza after, poking around shops full of bright woven bags and tiny painted skulls. Someone played guitar somewhere — couldn’t see him, but you could feel it in your chest.

I lost track of time until our group drifted toward the marina. The sun was still high but already softening at the edges. Stepping onto the catamaran (Cabo Escape — kind of a funny name), there was this salty breeze that made my shirt stick to my back in a good way. Our guide, Miguel, pointed out Pelican Rock and Lover’s Beach as we passed by — he told us how couples sneak over at sunrise for photos before anyone else wakes up. The boat crew handed out drinks (open bar means open bar here) and someone started dancing before we even left the bay.

The buffet dinner was better than I expected — fish tacos with lime that actually tasted fresh, and something called “chile relleno” that I’m still thinking about. We all ended up on the top deck watching El Arco glow orange as the sun dropped behind it. There’s this moment when everyone goes quiet for a second — just ocean wind and camera clicks and a pelican gliding past like he owns the place. Honestly, I didn’t want to leave yet, but at least hotel pickup meant no stress getting back.
