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 youre PADI certified, we know youll be dying to get your scuba gear on and explore the myriad of underwater caves and reefs.?
But dont fret if youre 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 Lands End arch. On the other side, youll find the tempestuous waters of the Pacific, and the aptly named Divorce Beach. (Maybe give that one a miss if youre 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. Youll find everything from gentle kayaking to surfing to wakeboarding.?
Flyboarding is a water sport that is making waves with tourists, and its one of the most exhilarating activities in the Los Cabos region in general. But if youve never tried it before, be warned - its not for the faint of heart.?
Youll 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 youve got a few hours to kill and cant 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, were not suggesting getting friendly with the killer variety - were not that brave!
Were talking about the gentle whale shark. This species feeds on small plants and plankton so youll 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 youll ever taste, but they also offer other top cuisines too.?
?
So if youre into finer European food experiences, youre in luck.? From traditional local fare to fine Swiss, French, and Italian delights, its all here in Cabo San Lucas.
?
If youd prefer to feast on the catch of the day and wash it down with some Tequila, we dont 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, youre 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 youve 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.?
