What are some fun things to do in La Paz? We’re glad you asked.
Mexico is home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, iconic restaurants, and unique adventures, and La Paz houses its fair share of these experiences.
From underwater snorkeling adventures to some of the best food to ever graze your taste buds, here are some of the best things to do in La Paz during your next trip.
Go On A Snorkeling Adventure In The Sea Of Cortez
If you haven’t experienced what lies below La Paz’s beautiful waters, you’re in for a treat. The Cabo Adventures Sea Of Cortez Snorkeling Adventure is the best way to experience Mexico’s amazing marine life and breathtaking beaches.
Your adventure begins with a complimentary hotel pick-up in one of our air-conditioned vans that will take you to the Pichilingue Marina in La Paz. Here, you’ll board a catamaran and enjoy a scenic cruise to Espiritu Santo Island — you’ll also get to dive into a light, refreshing breakfast to prepare for the adventure ahead.
The moment you’ve been waiting for unfolds as you dawn snorkeling gear and explore the Sea Of Cortez and its amazing sea lion colony. Make sure you build up an appetite because a delicious, deli-style lunch awaits upon boarding the catamaran once more before we return you to your hotel for some much-needed rest after an eventful day.
You read that right, this adventure will keep you enthralled all day!
Swim With Whale Sharks La Paz
If you’re not set on snorkeling, swimming with Mexico’s whale sharks is another great way to experience the vibrant marine life here in La Paz.
Cabo Adventure’s Swim With Whale Sharks Adventure offers daily trips to the whales’ natural habitat, so if you’re not sure what to do on a day during your trip to La Paz, we have you covered.
Our experienced guides help make this adventure as fun and safe as possible, crafting an experience you won’t soon forget. Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a great swimmer; this adventure is ideal for everyone, making it a must when planning out your schedule.
An Added Bonus: The Baja Landscape Experience
While La Paz’s beautiful whale sharks are the focus of this adventure, your tour will also take you on a scenic route through Baja California Sur before arriving at the whales. If you’re looking to get the most from your trip, this adventure is one of the top fun things to do in La Paz.
Take A Private Snorkeling Tour With Whale Sharks
Sometimes, the most fun you can have happens with those closest to you.
If you want to spend some quality time with your friends and family, you can enjoy a Private Whale Shark Snorkeling Tour. You and a small group of your choosing will get to put on snorkeling equipment and swim alongside these magnificent creatures.
It can be intimidating to get into the water, let alone share the ocean with these giants. Our professional and experienced guides will make sure you and your group don’t miss out on anything this experience has to offer while keeping you safe.
You’ll get more than just a fun experience with this tour; you’ll get to meet some of the world's most gentle creatures in Mexico’s picturesque backdrop, and not many experiences can top that.
One Of The Best Things To Do In La Paz Is Eat
While most of the main attractions in Baja California Sur’s capital involve water, you can’t visit this amazing Mexican destination without indulging in the food.
Paceño cuisine (meaning “of La Paz”) is as diverse as it gets when it comes to food: you get humble seafood stands, market stalls, snacks made from masa — antojitos — and fine dining, all in this food category.
Mariscos El Empanada is the place to be if you’re looking for sweet, firm, chocolate clams — a regional delicacy of La Paz. This restaurant makes casual seafood feel and taste like a Michelin-star meal.
If you want to go a little more local, you have to bite into a hate. This food item consists of a delicious, regional bacon-wrapped hot dog topped with carne deshebrada, nacho cheese, diced tomatoes, and avocado slices. You can find this favorite in many places, but Hates El Curra is always a safe bet.
Of all the fun things to do in La Paz, trying out a fancy seafood restaurant should make everyone’s list. Tatanka Baja Fish & Steakhouse offers Sonoran and American cuts of ribeye, prime tomahawk steak, and chateaubriand cooked on a Santa Maria Grill, along with a fine selection of local shellfish such as abalone ceviche.
Your mouth must be watering by now, so what are you waiting for? The sooner you book your tours in La Paz, the sooner you can start the fun and grab a bite in between your adventures.
