This Bajan playground has much to offer to people of every persuasion. Whether you’re a culture vulture, a history buff, a shopaholic, or a foodie you’ll find something here that tickles your fancy.

Read on to get our list of the top ten things to do in Cabo San Lucas…

El Arco Rock Formation

Anyone who visits Cabo San Lucas you should definitely got to see the El Arco rock formation up close. Known as Land’s End in English, this rock formation is a geological wonder which really does seem to be at the end of the world. You can reach this rock formation by water taxi (some of which have glass bottomed boats), by chartered yacht, or even by paddle board. If you wish you can get some great photos from Lovers Beach or Divorced Beach (remember not to swim at Divorced Beach, however, as the riptides are very strong and present a real danger).

El Arco is synonymous with Cabo San Lucas; it really is a must-see. Owners at Villa La Estancia Cabo San Lucas have prime views of this stunning geographical wonder.

Whale Watching in Cabo San Lucas

If you do only one thing whilst you’re in Cabo san Lucas between October and April it should be whale watching! You can see dolphins here at any time of the year, but during these months you can see humpback whales, and maybe even orcas! You will never get tired of whale watching tours.

Camel Rides in Cabo

You might be shocked to hear that you can enjoy camel back tours in and around Cabo San Lucas… we’re serious!

Touring Cabo’s San Lucas Desert

The amazing desert scenery provided by the natural landscape in and around Cabo San Lucas as a whole has made it a real wonderland for nature lovers and thrill seekers of all ages and persuasions. If you want to spend some time soaking up the natural world in fine weather and sunshine, Cabo San Lucas is for you. This popular tourist destination offers plenty of tours which will show you the highlights of the surrounding area, and will let you get about in fun and novel ways. Whether you’re hankering for a horse-ride, are absolutely amazed by ATVs, or can’t resist camels, Cabo San Lucas’s desert has something to offer you.

Take a look at these desert tours in Cabo San Lucas that you can enjoy anytime of the year.

Touring Cabo’s Desert by ATV

All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) tours have become quite popular in the travel and tourism industry as a whole, but there are few places in Mexico, or the world, which are as perfectly suited for these hardy vehicles as Cabo San Lucas. The rugged beauty of this region is famous, and ATV’s make short work of rocky desert ground and sandy beaches. When you sign up to one of these adventures you will, of course, be given proper safety equipment, but we still recommend that you don’t wear your very best clothes as they are likely to become covered in dirt, dust and sweat over the course of the day.

Camels! Yes, Camels!

You might think that you need to be in the Arabian Desert in order to experience a ride on camel back, but this is not the case. You can easily find companies who will let you tour the desert and beaches of Cabo San Lucas on the back of a camel; and you will get many opportunities to take photos while you do so. This is quite a relaxed tour, and the pace is gentle. You’ll see the Sierra Madre Mountains, the Ocean, and the canyons of Cabo with plenty of time to see the flora and fauna which is native to the area.

Touring Cabo’s Desert on Horseback

Horseback tours are perennial favourites at any beach destination across the world, and Cabo San Lucas is no different. If you have ever wanted to ride one of these intensely beautiful, graceful, and powerful animals down a stunning beach as the waves lap the sand then this could be your chance! On these tours you will have professional guides, so there’s no need to worry if you’re not an equestrian at home; the horses will also have been chosen for their calm and gentle nature to make them suitable for less confident riders, too. The sea breeze, warm sunshine, and lapping waves make this a relaxing, and even spiritual experience.

So, be sure to experience one of these tours on your next visit to Cabo San Lucas.

Art Walk in Cabo

San Jose del cabo has a thriving art scene that can be experienced in many ways, but we think one of the best and most interactive ways to get to grips with the scene as a whole is to take part in the Cabo Art Walk which takes place every Thursday night between November and June.

This fun Cabo event was established by the local Gallery District Association, and has become a mainstay for locals and visitors alike; the Los Cabos Art Walk event has become so huge, in fact, that the local government actually closes off some of the narrow back streets that the walk uses to limit traffic and allow walkers to stroll at their leisure. Most of the galleries in the area observe special hours for this event and will generally open from 5pm to 9pm.

Art Walk – A Fabulous Cultural Experience in Los Cabos

Every Thursday night from November through June, the entire Gallery District of San Jose del Cabo comes alive with energy and excitement; you will often encounter live music and entertainment in the streets and main plaza as you make your way through the area. There is always a fascinating mix of tourists, locals, and artists in the area, chatting, and mingling in the sophisticated yet vibrant art scene that can be found here. The Art Walk is a relaxing evening which will see you soaking up culture while you enjoy free snacks and drinks.

Art Walk Thursdays

San Jose del Cabo is famous for its easy-going vibe and creative scene; you can find an impressive selection of unique works here including sculptures, paintings, glass work, bead work, jewellery, ceramics, and local handicrafts. Galleries will generally have special opening hours to coincide with the Cabo Art Walk, so you can be sure you’ll get to look at what’s on offer while you soak up some culture.

Some Cabo galleries even have special events where you get to meet local artists for Q&A sessions, or even to show off new works. Be sure to ask questions; artists love to talk about their inspiration, and even their methods.

After Art Dinner in Cabo

The fun of the evening needn’t end when the Art Walk does, however; you can always keep the night going with your fellow walkers! Why not stop off at one of the amazing restaurants to be found within the Art District? You will find that there are many great options; al fresco dining in courtyards and patios, sophisticated atmospheres indoors, speciality tequilas, and fine wines… it can all be found here.

We guarantee that you won’t regret taking part in the San Jose del Cabo Art Walk; it’s a great way to get in touch with the local art scene, and the atmosphere is phenomenal.
