Go Boating Off Los Cabos
Thanks to its being surrounded by waters, the bottom tip of the Baja Peninsula is a paradise for boaters. And from kayaks to mega yachts, there’s some kind of watercraft for every style and price range. The best way to get your bearings is a half-day cruise off the coast of Cabo San Lucas that includes stops by the legendary Los Arcos rock formation and at beaches along the town’s west coast. Cabo Sailing Ocean Adventures offers a wide variety of boat trips including romantic sunset cruises, snorkeling adventures, whale-watching tours and even overnight charters for couples.
The tranquil bays and desert landscapes of the coast between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo are perfect for paddleboarding and kayaking. Baja Outback hosts guided paddle excursions. On the half-day Seaside Cliff adventure you’ll kayak between Bahia Santa Maria and Bahia Chileno and hike along wave-sculpted cliffs to secluded caves that seem a million miles away from Cabo’s glitzy party scene. At the end of the paddle there’s plenty of time for a snooze on the beach or a snorkel around the reef on the western edge of Chileno Bay.
