An Excellent Selection of Cabo Tours

There’s even an option to go on a private camel ride if you want a more intimate adventure with friends and family.
Breathtaking Cruises
If you like your adventures more on the relaxing side, you’re in the right place; The Day Sailing Adventure Tour is one of the most relaxing things to do in Cabo while still enjoying the natural beauty that is a spectacular Cabo sunset against the backdrop of the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas. You also have the opportunity to snorkel on this tour if you need some cooling off, or relax on a 50-foot sailing vessel.
This cruise takes place on a luxury French sailboat and features a premium open bar and gourmet hors d’oeuvres that tie the experience together.
So have a glass of sparkling wine and relax on the sailboat’s soft deck cushions while you traverse the smooth Cabo waters!
Exhilarating Outdoor Adventures
Another great way to explore Cabo’s nature and participate in one of the most exciting things to do in Cabo is by booking a Combo Outdoor Zipline and UTV Adventure tour!
This experience begins at the Boca de la Sierra Natural Reserve, where you’ll soar over canyons via ziplines guided by friendly and professional guides. You’ll also rappel down canyon walls, cross the commando bridge, and swing over the canyon on the “Pendulum” before returning to base camp for a UTV off-roading tour.
Homemade quesadillas are also included at the end of the tour—a little reward for your bravery!
Adrenaline junkie or not, this is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that you don’t want to miss out on.
Opportunities to Interact With the Wildlife
Another amazing opportunity you can expect from your trip to Cabo is the interactions you can have with the local wildlife.

Another tour lets you Swim With Whale Sharks in Cabo, and the Luxury Two-Bay Snorkel Tour introduces you to exotic marine life like porcupinefish, pufferfish, and boxfish.
The Cabo Pulmo Snorkeling Expedition gives you the chance to experience even more of Mexico’s marine life, including giant groupers, big-eyed jacks, eels, sea turtles, and rays while you marvel at one of three living coral reefs in North America.
You won’t get the same joy from your local aquarium or zoo.
