Local Excursions, Magical Towns & Water Activities

Cabo is a playground for ocean lovers, offering unforgettable water activity options like sunset cruises around Land’s End, snorkeling in Cabo Pulmo National Park, glass-bottom kayak tours, and seasonal whale shark or dolphin encounters. Prefer to stay dry? Enjoy a camel ride along the beach, wine tasting, or explore the desert on an ATV or zipline adventure.

Beyond the resort, Cabo offers endless opportunities for exploration. Swim and snorkel at the calm, crystal-clear waters of Chileno Bay and Santa Maria Beach, or catch waves at the surfer-friendly Cerritos Beach. Take a scenic drive to Todos Santos, a charming Pueblo Mágico known for its art galleries and historic vibe, or stroll through San José del Cabo’s colonial downtown, where you can enjoy local cuisine and the vibrant Thursday night art walk.
