You can’t go wrong with any of the fun adventures available here. If you can only choose a few things, this guide will help you pick the top choices. Here, we will share the must-do things to consider so you can start planning your itinerary.
Whale-Watching in Cabo St. Lucas
If you’re coming to Cabo during whale season, whale-watching is an absolute must! It’s a unique experience that you are not going to find just anywhere. The whale-watching areas in Cabo see tons of whales, and some get up close and personal with you. There is a special time for this in order to give yourself the best chance of seeing whales, as they are seasonal. While you might see them a few other times, the official whale season is the best opportunity.
The tours for whale-watching run seasonally because of this. This season ranges from December to May, which gives you a broad range of time to check out the whales. There are also different whale species that you may see. This includes Humpback whales, California Gray whales, and some others as well. You might see them showing off. On occasion, tourists get to pet their snouts.
There are several different tour options to choose from, so be sure to check out the choices. If you don’t want to pay for a tour, that’s ok. In the midst of the season, you can see the whales from the beach. It won’t be the same view as a tour gives you, but it’s still phenomenal.
Zip, Swing, or Bungee for Adrenaline
If you have an adventurous spirit, there are plenty of choices to give you a thrill. In Cabo, we highly recommend trying out the zipline. If you want to take your thrills to the next level, consider the Tarzan swing or bungee jumping experience.
These are all packed with adrenaline and will take you to stunning views you won’t see anywhere else. They’re some of the most unique ways to explore Cabo. The zip line has tours through the jungles and canyons of Cabo. You can zip along quickly and enjoy the views. It’s also tons of fun.
The bungee jumping and Tarzan swing certainly are not for the faint of heart. They will definitely provide an unforgettable experience you won’t get anywhere else. Scream, laugh, and enjoy all the heart-stopping adventure. These activities often come in bundles if you want to enjoy more than one!

While you’re at the beach, you have the opportunity to enjoy beachy activities or even take part in scuba diving or snorkeling adventures.

ATV tours also have tons of options. You can go all out with a long tour that takes you deep into Baja country. Or you could take it easy and do a simple ATV tour along the beach at sunset. No matter what you choose, you’re bound to have a great time!
