Water activities in Cabo San Lucas

The Sea of Cortez side is calm enough for snorkeling most of the year. The Pacific side is wild and best enjoyed from a boat.

What to do in each season

Los Cabos is a year-round place, but each season has its own highlights.

  • December to AprilWhale season. Cooler, dry days that are perfect for ATVs, camels and long yacht days.
  • May and JuneWarm, sunny and calm. Great water for snorkeling and diving, and fewer crowds.
  • July to OctoberHot and humid, with the warmest water of the year. Sea turtle season. Plan outdoor tours early in the day and keep an eye on the weather.
  • NovemberThe sea is still warm, the heat eases and the first whales can arrive at the end of the month.

Questions about tours and activities

Are the tours private or shared?
Both are possible. Most of our guests choose private tours for their group. For some activities, like party boats or the pirate ship, a shared tour is the fun way to go.
Is transportation included?
Most land tours include pickup. When they don't, we add a private driver so you go straight from your villa or hotel and back. See transportation.
What is good for kids?
Glass-bottom boats to El Arco, snorkeling in a calm bay, the pirate ship cruise, camel rides and a sea turtle release in season are family favorites.
Can we swim at every beach?
No. Beaches on the Pacific side, like Divorce Beach next to Lover's Beach, have strong waves and currents and are not safe for swimming. Swim and snorkel in the calm bays on the Sea of Cortez side, and follow the flags.
How far ahead should we book?
A week or two is usually enough. For whale season, holidays and big groups, book earlier so we can hold the best boats and guides.
Can you plan activities for a large group?
Yes. We run activity days for groups of 10 to 500 guests, with buses, Sprinters and staff. See corporate groups and bachelorette parties.

Tell us what you like. We plan the days.

Adventure, relaxing or a bit of both. Send your dates and group, and we suggest a plan for each day.
