Tierra Sagrada Beach Club: All-Inclusive Day with ActivitiesTierra Sagrada is an all-inclusive beach club on the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur where you spend a half day swimming, eating from a Mexican buffet, playing beach games or taking a tequila tasting or cooking class — round-trip transport from your hotel is included, and kids have their own adventure park with a mini zipline, petting zoo and climbing net. Winter months bring humpback whales visible from the shore.Is it for me?Choose this if you want a full afternoon in one place with both active options (volleyball, football, tastings, cooking classes) and quiet ones (pool, dining) so you're not locked into a single pace.
Cabo San Lucas: 2-Tank Dive Tour at Pelican Rock & The ArchDrop into Cabo San Lucas Reserve for two guided dives around Pelican Rock and The Arch—watch sand falls drift by, meet playful sea lions up close, then cruise past Lover’s Beach on your surface interval. With all gear provided and only a short boat ride from town, you’ll spend more time exploring than traveling—and maybe leave with salt still in your hair.
ATV Riding in Cabo San Lucas: Desert & Beach TrailsATV riding in Cabo San Lucas takes you behind the wheel of a UTV through desert trails and beaches near Los Cabos, with hotel pickup, a guide, safety gear and a tequila tasting included. The route crosses dry riverbeds to Margaritas Beach, where the desert meets the ocean. You choose a single or multi-seat vehicle at checkout, and the guide stays with you the whole time to handle navigation and safety while you focus on the drive.Is it for me?Book a single-seat UTV if you want the full control of driving your own line through the desert; choose a multi-seat option if you're riding with family or friends and want to share the experience without splitting into separate vehicles. The two-hour window fits a free afternoon without eating into a full day.
Los Cabos: Catamaran Cruise with Open Bar & SnacksYou’ll sail along Los Cabos’ iconic coastline on a catamaran with open bar service and fresh guacamole snacks as you pass El Arco, Lover’s Beach, and dramatic rock formations.

Cabo San Lucas city and boat tour: Glass workshop, Arch and lunchA six-hour guided tour of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo that combines a live glass-blowing demonstration with a clearboat ride to the Arch, a walk through San Jose's historic district, and lunch at a local restaurant. Hotel pickup is included, and the guide speaks English and Spanish. Cruise ship passengers can arrange pickup from a hotel near the dock for an additional fee.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're staying in a Cabo hotel or arriving by cruise ship and want the main sights—the Arch, the bay, San Jose's colonial district—without renting a car or planning stops yourself. The hotel pickup means the day starts from where you're staying, and the clearboat ride is the one part of the tour you can't do on your own.

The boat includes an open bar, lunch, snorkeling equipment and national park fees; you choose between three yacht sizes at checkout and can add extra passengers at an additional rate per person.Is it for me?Book this if you want the Arch, the sea lions and a snorkeling stop without coordinating pickups or sharing the boat with other groups — the three-hour timeline keeps the whole route tight and the private yacht means your group sets the pace at each stop.
Cabo San Lucas: Single UTV Desert & Candelaria Village Off-RoadYou drive your own UTV through desert riverbeds, around native cactus, and over sections of the famous Baja 1000 race course, climbing to the remote village of Candelaria before descending toward ocean views. The tour includes van pickup from Cabo, all safety equipment, and water; your guide handles route selection based on your skill level and stops to explain the landscape and local history along the way.Is it for me?This is for anyone who wants to actually drive the Baja terrain instead of just hearing about it—the single UTV puts you in control, and the half-day format fits a Cabo trip without eating your whole day.

The boat departs from Cabo harbor, and you can fly solo or with a friend as long as your combined weight stays between 120 and 550 pounds. After your flight, you descend gently to the boat's landing platform, or opt for a refreshing skim across the water before the next flyer takes their turn.Is it for me?The boat handles all the work—you're fitted, lifted, and brought back down without paddling or climbing. This suits anyone who wants the view and the rush without the physical effort of getting airborne yourself.
La Paz & Sea of Cortez: Open Ocean Safari, Whale WatchingYou’ll ride out from La Paz with a small group and a local guide, watching for dolphins and whales as you cross open water. Swim alongside mobula rays and playful sea lions using included snorkel gear, then refuel with snacks while hearing stories from your guide.

Cabo Turtle Hatchery Tour: Adopt & Release Baby TurtlesYou adopt a baby sea turtle, learn its biology and survival challenges from a marine biologist, and release it into the ocean yourself. The guide explains the 45-day incubation process and the ranch's conservation methods while you're there. Transport from your hotel is included, and you can visit the donkey sanctuary afterward if you have time.Is it for me?Right for travelers who want to contribute to conservation rather than just observe it, and who have time between July and September when the hatchlings are ready. The tour moves at a learning pace—expect an hour or two at the ranch itself, which is what lets you understand the biology and feel the weight of the release.
Cabo San Lucas: Arch Boat Tour & Beach Drop OptionYou’ll board a small boat in Cabo San Lucas with a local guide who brings each stop to life—from pelicans at Pelican Rock to stories at Lover’s Beach. Drift beneath El Arco for close-up photos before choosing whether to relax on soft sand or stay aboard. Expect salty air, laughter, and those little moments that linger long after you’ve rinsed off the sand.
Snorkeling in Cabo San Lucas: Private Catamaran with PaddleboardsA private catamaran snorkeling activity in Cabo San Lucas that includes paddleboards, kayaks, full snorkel equipment, an open bar, lunch and hotel pickup. The crew handles setup and service while you spend three hours in the water and on the floating mat. During whale season (December through March), the boat heads to the area where whales are sighted.Is it for me?Book this one if you're staying in Cabo without a car—the pickup from your hotel means the catamaran becomes the only thing you arrange, and the crew's flexibility lets you snorkel as much or as little as you want during the three hours on the water.
Cabo San Lucas: Whale Watching Cruise & Lunch BuffetYou’ll cruise from Cabo San Lucas past El Arco before searching for humpback whales with a local guide on board. Enjoy unlimited drinks and a freshly prepared Mexican lunch buffet as you watch for whale spouts against the Pacific horizon. There’s time for photos, stories from the crew, and maybe even dancing before heading back — it feels real out there.
Snorkeling in Cabo San Lucas: Private boat, equipment includedPrivate snorkeling in Cabo San Lucas puts you on a small boat with a live guide in English or Spanish, snorkel gear, soda and bottled water included. The boat carries either six or ten people depending on which option you choose at checkout. You spend three hours exploring rock formations along the shore and swimming in different areas, with the guide explaining what you're seeing as you go. A ladder with an extra extension makes re-entry easy.Is it for me?Book the six-person option if you want the smallest group and the most attention from the guide; the ten-person option still keeps the boat intimate while spreading the cost. Either way, the ladder extension means you're not fighting to haul yourself back aboard after time in the water.
