Things to do in Cabo in March range from calm mornings on the water to lively evenings in town. Mild air and gentle seas mean you can plan a full day or leave it open, and either way works. This list covers everything from active days to slow ones. Read on to find the plan that suits your pace, and a few ideas that take you well past the hotel gates.
1. Go Whale Watching
From December to April, but especially in March, Cabo offers a front-row seat to one of nature's greatest spectacles. Humpback whales, orcas, and gray whales migrate through Baja's warm waters, and seeing these majestic creatures up close is unforgettable.

Plus, we have hydrophones that go into the water, letting those on board listen to the whales' unique songs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear for evening plans in Cabo?
Evenings in March stay mild, so a light long-sleeve layer and comfortable walking shoes cover most plans. Daytime calls for breathable, sun-protective clothing, a hat, and sandals you can slip off easily near the water.

How do I reach farther spots when planning things to do in Cabo in March?
Hotel pick-up is the simplest way to reach destinations beyond town, especially those with long drives along the coast. It lets you rest on the way and arrive ready for the water, without parking or navigating unfamiliar roads.
Our Cabo Pulmo Snorkeling Expedition includes round-trip air-conditioned transportation, so the journey is part of the day. Ask the team about pick-up times when you plan, so mornings stay easy and unhurried.
