Top Things To Do In Cabo San Lucas

The Baja Peninsula in Mexico has no shortage of vacation destinations, including luxury resorts and awesome national parks. But Cabo San Lucas has to be one of the top destinations for travelers to the region. 

Located in a sheltered bay on the Sea of Cortez and surrounded by the Sierra de la Laguna mountains, Los Cabos is a picturesque town loved by locals and tourists alike. 

Want to know the best things to see and do in Cabo San Lucas? Here are some of our favorite activities.

Take A Deep Dive Into The Scuba Culture

If you’re PADI certified, we know you’ll be dying to get your scuba gear on and explore the myriad of underwater caves and reefs. 

But don’t fret if you’re not experienced. You can get your diver's certification right here, with an open-water diver certification course, and take home a new set of skills as well as wonderful memories.

Soak Up The Sun On Lovers’ Beach

Are you traveling with your significant other? We have the ideal location to pop the question, spend a honeymoon, or just spend some quality time together. Lovers’ Beach is a top attraction known to the locals as Playa Del Amor. 

This is on the calmer Sea of Cortez side of the famous Land’s End arch. On the other side, you’ll find the tempestuous waters of the Pacific, and the aptly named Divorce Beach. (Maybe give that one a miss if you’re on a romantic getaway!) 

Pump Up Your Adrenaline With Flyboarding

Mexico is popular for all types of watersports, and Cabo San Lucas is no exception. You’ll find everything from gentle kayaking to surfing to wakeboarding. 

Flyboarding is a water sport that is making waves with tourists, and it’s one of the most exhilarating activities in the Los Cabos region in general. But if you’ve never tried it before, be warned - it’s not for the faint of heart. 

You’ll be propelled over the waters and through the air on a hydroflight device made from specially-designed boots with jet nozzles that provide the thrust. 

Biking On The Beach

When you’ve got a few hours to kill and can’t decide between biking or the beach, do both - together. We found electric mountain bikes for hire that were perfect for some sightseeing. 

The wide wheels and electric power assistance made the rough terrain easier. And we felt good about getting a bit of a workout in at the same time.

Not gritty enough for you? Hire an ATV and explore all kinds of terrain at your own pace.

Swim With Sharks

Whales and dolphins are great but who can resist the opportunity to swim alongside a shark? No, we’re not suggesting getting friendly with the killer variety - we’re not that brave!

We’re talking about the gentle whale shark. This species feeds on small plants and plankton so you’ll be perfectly safe around them. We absolutely loved this unique experience and highly recommend it to anyone who loves the ocean.

Tickle Your Tastebuds

A trip to Cabo San Lucas is guaranteed to tickle your tastebuds. Not only do they have the best tacos you’ll ever taste, but they also offer other top cuisines too. 

 

So if you’re into finer European food experiences, you’re in luck.  From traditional local fare to fine Swiss, French, and Italian delights, it’s all here in Cabo San Lucas.

 

If you’d prefer to feast on the catch of the day and wash it down with some Tequila, we don’t blame you. This town is a major attraction for both professional and amateur fishing enthusiasts, and we found no shortage of fine seafood establishments. 

Get To Know A Dolphin

In the warm Pacific waters, you’re bound to run into a bottle-nosed dolphin at some point. And there are many centers in Cabo that care for these intelligent creatures. 

So if you’ve always dreamed of getting up close and personal with a dolphin, book a swim with one! 

You can even become a dolphin trainer for a day and learn how the professionals train and work with these beautiful marine mammals.
