2.Cabo Migrino Beach and Desert ATV Tour plus Tequila Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,367 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $75

Drive your own ATV through Cabo’s Migrino Desert, along dry riverbeds, mountain trails, and Pacific beaches. Guides such as Javier, Alberto, Raul, and Daniel lead the ride, with hotel pickup from Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo, safety gear, water, and a tequila tasting afterward. Allow extra time for transport, fees, and group stops.

“Transportation to the location was so easy. They picked us right up at our hotel. Check in was also a breeze. But be aware there is a $25 fee per person to enter the park area and also an optional $25 for insurance on your ATV. There's controversy on whether you should take insurance or not but we felt we did not want to be liable for anything and $25 per vehicle seemed an acceptable amount to not be in debt here in Mexico. The ride was so so very fun. They really gave you some time to get used to the machine and then you got to go super…”

The boat carries up to 10 people in the intimate format described, and a second tour is free if no whales appear.

“My wife and I carefully searched for a whale watching guide for our cruise to Cabo. Let me say that there's a reason Cabo Nature has the most reviews. These ladies are amazing! Having the tour with experienced marine biologists added so much to the experience. Our guides were so knowledgeable and you could hear the genuine excitement in their voices when telling us about the whales. We took a quick ride to the Arch for photos (which by the way are included!) and went to several spots and saw multiple whales and even a calf. It really was an amazing experience that we'll never forget. Sure you could book…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,317 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $95

Paddle from the beach to El Arco, Playa del Amor, and Pelican Rock in a glass-bottom kayak. You’ll receive instruction, snorkel with tropical fish and sea lions, and get hotel or marina transport. Guides such as Luis, Hugo, Marco, and Pedro are praised for clear help and local insight. Morning trips usually have calmer water and less boat traffic.

“From pickup to drop off at our hotel, Luis provided top notch service and hospitality! The tour started the minute we were in the van with facts and info about all of Cabo. He did all the heavy lifting, all we did was hop on and off the kayak- and paddle of course. Kayaked right up to the arch and he took our picture- no obstructed views full of other boats or tourists (we went in the morning before it got too busy). Went ashore Lovers beach and walked around and took pictures. Went ashore again near Pelican Rock and snorkeled for about 45min. Visibility was great! Saw tons of…”

Beach and Desert UTV Tour in Cabo

8.Beach and Desert UTV Tour in Cabo

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,127 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $110

Take a guided side-by-side UTV ride from Cabo San Lucas or San José del Cabo through desert trails, sand dunes, and two Pacific beaches near Migriño. You’ll get safety gear, bottled water, bilingual guidance, photo stops, and a tequila tasting. Guides including Enrique, Gilbert, and David have earned praise for friendly, reassuring service.

“Overall we both loved the experience. Definitely well worth trying. I would've rated it a 5 star however when we arrived you could only pay for the park entrance by cash. Luckily we had it but we saw several people scrambling to get money out of an ATM which charges you ridiculous fees. Then the additional insurance and upgrades continues to add on to the cost. It would be great if these were thing mentioned prior to your booking so you know hat to expect. Aside from that it was a fun experience.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,005 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $99

Spend about 2.5 hours on a small boat from Cabo San Lucas, visiting El Arco and its sea lions before searching for humpback whales. A marine biologist such as Andrea, Vanu, Maria, or Vanusa explains the animals and local waters. Boats hold about 10 to 12 people, and morning trips usually offer calmer seas.

“We had a great time! We were on a boat with a small group. Our guide was so knowlegeable about the sea life and we learned a lot about whales. The captain zoomed us around the ocean to find the spots where the whales were breaching. Great tour!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 838 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $95

Set out from Cabo San Lucas on the Caborey for a 2.5-hour sunset cruise past the Arch and Lover’s Beach. You’ll eat an all-you-can-eat fajita buffet, use the domestic open bar, and hear a live band plus DJ music. The large boat offers room to sit, take photos, and dance, though wind, crowds, and a $2 dock fee are worth planning for.

“Fun fun fun. Good eats, good music, good service and lots of beverages. Calm waters, city lights and chillin chairs.”

Sail from Cabo’s marina with a crew such as Angel, David, Javier, or Mario, then snorkel near Land’s End, spot sea lions and whales, and enjoy lunch with an open bar. The 3-hour trip carries no more than 14 people and includes gear, towels, snacks, and national park fees.

“I booked this tour the day before because Carnival had no snorkeling excursions for a 7 year old. My son and I really enjoyed ourselves. The boat was nice and clean and the overall service was great! We fully enjoyed snorkeling then we returned to the boat and had lunch and drinks. I would highly recommend especially if you’re on a cruise and have kids that want to go snorkeling but are not quite 8 yet.”
