Ice, cold, and snow got you down? Come spend Christmas in Cabo and explore our outdoors! With moderate temperatures and warm waters ready for swimming, our wide-open spaces are calling! Contact Cabo Discount Tours TODAY and ask our knowledgeable tour specialists to help get your itinerary planned. We don’t recommend anything we haven’t experienced ourselves.

Christmas in Cabo: Sand & Surf 

Shake the snow off your collar and dive right into the warm beach water of Cabo San Lucas! Put on your sunblock, grab a beach towel, pack a pail and shovel, and head out to relax beachside. 

Although some of our beaches aren’t suitable for swimming, Cabo has several options for swimming and snorkeling. We can also recommend beaches for those who just need to sit out in the sand and sun for a while. We have just what you’re looking for: 

  • Cannery Beach: located between the marina and Lover’s Beach, Cannery is a favorite for families. Less touristy than some others, Cannery provides plenty of beaches for sandcastles and whitecaps to spare. 
  • Medano Beach: is considered the main swimming beach in Cabo, so it’s sometimes crowded and more touristy than others. 
  • Chileno Beach: is along the hotel zone but a favorite with locals. Since it’s known for its good snorkeling areas, don’t forget your gear! 
  • Palmilla Beach: is a perfect spot for watching whales from the shore. There’s an area to launch small boats, and if you get there early enough, you can watch as the local fishermen row in with their catch. 

With its moderate temperatures, Cabo makes the most of your trip south. We provide a host of water sports and beach activities. Cabo Discount Tours will set you up with surf lessons, Waverunner rentals, and parasailing adventures. 

Stand-Up-Paddle (SUP) Boarding is fun for all ages and has grown in popularity in recent years. It’s no surprise to us, because SUP Boarding provides an opportunity for training and then time for fun on your own. SUP boards are available by the hour or the day, allowing plenty of unstructured time for you and your group. 

Let us book your SUP snorkeling tour or yoga class so you can experience something new!  

ATV Tours

Load up and head out! If you’re spending Christmas in Cabo, focus on the outdoors! These tours are perennial favorites. No matter what your experience level is, we can plan a tour for you! We have so many options available. There’s no reason not to take advantage of a few hours of thrill-seeking. If you’re interested in high-speed beach racing, a more challenging mountain trail, or want to enjoy a romantic sunset tour, we cater to you. 

Ask us about our bundled packages that package ATV tours and golfing and horseback tours! 

Windsport Season 

In mid-November, the El Norte winds are guaranteed to begin their blowing hundreds of miles down the Sea of Cortez, creating the most thrilling wind sports season around. Although it hits its peak in mid-January, there is plenty of wind for thrills in December. There is plenty to keep the wind sports enthusiast busy with options like windsurfing, kiteboarding, and kitesurfing. 

For the beginner, Cabo Discount Tours recommends a guided paragliding tour.  Enjoy the security of a guided flight powered by a professional (and a motor). Get a bird’s-eye view of our stunning beaches and beautiful mountain ranges. 

Swim with Whale Sharks 

Swimming with sharks is an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for something extra special, swimming with whale sharks fits the bill. This Christmas, treat yourself to nature, up close and personal, and swim the whale sharks. Watch as these giants of the sea feed on plankton and make their graceful way around the Bay of La Paz. 

Whale sharks are plankton feeders and non-aggressive, making them the perfect species to observe. Growing longer than 30 feet and easily weighing 20,000 pounds, these graceful giants are awe-inspiring to see and a real Christmas gift to swim beside. 

Whale-Watching 

Although whale-watchers usually see more humpback whales on the whale-watching tours, there are at least eight other species to keep an eye out for, including the California Grey Whale. The humpback is usually the star of our whale-watching show, with lots of breaching and tail flapping; however, the California Grey has been known to present itself boatside for gentle pats of acknowledgment.  

There’s something special about getting so close to such beautiful creatures. It’s the perfect Christmas surprise: whale-watching is an ideal outing for every member of the family. 

Christmas in Cabo

Horseback Riding

Take a day away from the water and give horseback riding tours a try. Catering to both the novice and the most experienced riders, horseback riding in Cabo San Lucas provides something for everyone. 

Christmas spent in Cabo should be full of fun and adventure! We will cater your tour to your experience level. From the even terrain of the Pacific Ocean coastline to the more steep and rocky terrain of the mountain range, both provide unmatched vistas. Be sure you bring your camera! 

Need a Little More Christmas in Cabo? 

Taking a beach vacation during the Christmas season may feel a little strange for some. Don’t worry! There are plenty of traditions and celebrations to make your Christmas vacation feel more, well, Christmas-y. 

From December 16 – December 24, Las Posadas celebrates the journey of Mary and Joseph from Nazareth to Bethlehem. The most important day of the season is Christmas Eve (Nochebuena), and on December 24th, candlelit processions and reenactments abound. Traditionally, believers attend midnight mass to celebrate the birth of Jesus, followed by family dinners and the exchange of gifts. 

Most local resorts and restaurants offer special Christmas dinners, too. Ask us about special community events.
