Outdoor Adventures
If for you, vacation gear includes a backpack and a pair of hiking boots, then Los Cabos is the right place. Known for its awesome bouldering,
Los Cabos’ beaches and trails call on the experienced rock climber to remove the ropes and harnesses, put on some hiking shoes, get out the chalk
and conquer some serious bouldering problems, a term used to describe the path climbers take to complete a climb. From watersports to ziplines
and ATV rides, Los Cabos is the place to have an experience full of adrenaline. Whether you’re up for off-roading the Baja California Sur dirt racetracks, hike to the waterfalls or ziplining 300 feet above washed-out canyons, this is the place to push your limits.

Here are just a few ideas for you
|
Whale Watching
Whale watching off the Los Cabos shores is glorious, as the gentle giants can be found in impressive numbers all along the coast. The best time to observe them is during their
easonal migration to the nutrient-rich waters off Alaska from December through April.
During the season, charters run tours to the migratory grounds with a variety of boats.
You may find yourself on a wide, comfortable catamaran or a tony yacht, seeing pods of gray and humpback whales frolicking and spouting about with their young. Not to be confused with the whales, this region is also where you can see whale sharks, the largest fish in the sea. Their migration to local waters takes place between December to April.
Book your trips early, as tours tend to fill up quickly.

Swim With Dolphins in Los Cabos
One of the most memorable experiences Los Cabos offers is swimming with dolphins. Certified Humane Conservations, these places also allow you to swim in the pool with the affable mammals where you can interact and play, taking part in fin rides, fin shakes and friendly hugs. On select tours, part of the proceeds of the dolphin experience go to charity organizations, such as rehabilitation centers that promote protection, conservation and quality of life for the mammals. At the close of any dolphin tour, you not only will have played with the fun-loving creatures, but you will come out with an appreciation and understanding of their habitats and lives.

Catamaran & Boat Tours
Boat tours are the ideal way to immerse yourself in the aquatic side of Los Cabos. Many outfitters
rent charter boats for full day and half-day excursions, while other companies offer sunset cruise, dinner and show packages. Consider hopping aboard a stable and comfortable catamaran for a day of activity, renting a private yacht for an exclusive experience or taking a dinner cruise around El Arco. Tours to Lovers Beach and whale watching trips are incredibly popular, as is simply sailing across the azure waters of the Sea of Cortez. Join a crew or be your own captain; the opportunities on the high seas are boundless.
Jet Ski in Los Cabo
Jet skiing is one of the most exhilarating ways to get to see Los Cabos. Cruise up to
45 mph across the flat waters of Cabo San Lucas Bay while exploring El Arco and
Lovers Beach on a daytime jaunt. Bustling Medano Beach is the hub of waterborne entertainment, with jet skis and wave runners rented all along the beach by independent outfitters, beach clubs, resorts, and even restaurants. If you are all
about fast and furious tours, stop by Medano Beach to pick up your ride.

Kayaking & Paddleboarding
One of the most natural ways to explore Los Cabos’ waters is via stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) or kayaking. Most operators can organize a tour to the protected coves and serene waters of Chileno Bay, Santa Maria Bay and Lovers Beach. As the approach is usually silent by kayak or paddleboard, it is easier not to startle wildlife in its natural habitat. As you paddle, you can go near sea lions, sea birds, dolphins, or even whales when the season is right. Be sure to check the wind conditions before you set out and remember to put on reef-friendly sunscreen.

Camel Ride Tours
When you think of the desert, inevitably camels come to mind. Though they are not native to the area, there are camels in Los Cabos too, a select group of outfitters provide camel ride tours in a safari atmosphere. Riding atop a docile humpbacked giant, your tour of the Baja desert and/or beachfront becomes an educational experience as you learn about the local flora and fauna during the excursion. Some camel tours even make stops along the way to Tequila tasting venues where you can also explore the region’s culinary traditions.

Horseback Riding
Harkening back to genuine cowboy days, many operators run horseback riding
tours through the desert to observe the outback scenery or on the beach to view
a stunning sunset. Well-trained horses are easy to ride for people of all ages.
Trotting via horseback allows the rider to sneak up on wildlife that would
normally be spooked by a rumbling engine of an ATV. Animals such as coyotes, roadrunners and quail can be spied on most trips, bringing smiles to all riders.

Scuba Diving
World-class scuba diving is a major draw in Los Cabos, highlighted by the 17,571-acre Cabo Pulmo natural reef system. There, over 800 species of marine life make their home in the only hard coral reef in the Gulf of California. Wreck diving also makes encounters with sea turtles, manta rays and even whale sharks possible. Trips usually run a half-day to a full day, depending on how far the dive sites are, and the best season to dive is during the warm summer months. Check any local dive map and ask about the locations outfitters frequent as well as what packages they have available for popular spots, such as Neptune’s Finger, Sand Falls and El Vencedor. |
