In this guide, we will share some of the most popular adventures to consider. When you’re planning your trip, think about these fun activities.
The Best Things to Do in Cabo San Lucas for Everyone!
You will find that we all have different ideas for traveling and things to do. Just because you don’t like zip lining or whale watching doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Below, we share some of the activities that are booked most often in Cabo. There are plenty more to choose from, too!
1. ATV Tours
If you love some thrill and adventure, this is a great option. The cool thing is that you don’t have to get super crazy with the thrills. There are ATV tours that are more laidback and just go along the beach. If you want a more relaxing tour, try the sunset beach tour. If you want the most adventure, try the Baja Experience. You can make ATV tours a family outing, a group outing, or even an option for just one person.
There’s even a kids’ tour that takes out the Razors and lets the kiddos have a blast while the parents do their own thing. These tours take you into the background of Cabo. You see sights you simply won’t see anywhere else. You can also see wildlife and stunning scenery that will take your breath away.
2. Whale Watching
If you come to Cabo during whale season, you should definitely consider this. These gentle giant ocean creatures are absolutely magnificent. You can often see the whales from the beach, but the tours are designed to get you up close and personal. It’s been rumored that you can sometimes even pet a whale on the tours. The whales know people, so they may show off and do tricks just for you.
There are multiple kinds of whales to see. The most common are Humpback and California Grays. Whale watching tours load up a small party and head out to the whale hot spots. You can see whales outside of these tours, but the tours are so worth it for the experience.
3. Scuba and Snorkeling

Snorkeling and scuba diving are a great way to explore the underwater world in Cabo. You simply can’t imagine how spectacular it is until you give this a try. You can see tons of aquatic life, from fish to coral and much more. If you have never been snorkeling or scuba diving, you should try it. There are no words to really do the experience justice. If you think Cabo is beautiful aboveground, wait until you see the world beneath the sea.
4. Camel Rides and Horseback Riding
There is just something so serene about riding an animal on a tropical island. Camels are so much fun to ride. You can also go horseback riding. There are options for every skill level. If you’re a beginner, keep it simple with a short trip. If you’re a pro, try a longer trail ride. Much like the ATVs, this is a great way to experience more views than what you see from the traditional stops.
5. Beach Time!
You simply can’t go to Cabo without spending some time on the beach. Cabo is known for having a record number of pristine beaches.
