Top 10 Activities

#1. Whale Watching
Almost 90% of the world's migrating whales visit the warm waters surrounding Baja from December through to March to give birth to their young and then care for the new calves. You can often see the whales clearly from the shore, but take a whale watching tour by boat to get up close to these amazing mammals.

#2. Snorkeling
The sparkling blue waters around Cabo San Lucas are among the finest in the world for snorkeling. Swim among schools of brightly colored tropical fish. Beginner-level divers can see some amazing reefs around Nepture's Finger, although more expert divers will love the diving at Pelican Rock.

#3. Hiking and Rock Climbing
The glorious desert hiking trails are a great way to really see the areas away from the pristine beaches, but if the sea is your preference, you can hike along the coastal pools and among the rock formations by the beach. Rock climbing and rappelling tours are also available for the more adventurous.

#4. Sport Fishing
Cabo is considered the marlin capital of the world, so if you've ever wanted to try some deep sea sport fishing, this is the place for you. The best part about taking a fishing charter tour is that you get to see so many dolphins, whales and even seals on your way out and back.

#5. Cabo Submarine
Take the submarine tour and view the glorious marine life through the multiple viewing windows. This is an excellent way to really see the reefs. If you're uncomfortable taking children or grandparents snorkeling to see these marvelous tropical reefs, then the submarine viewing ports are comfortable, secure and great fun.

#6. 4x4 Desert Safari
See a completely different side to Cabo San Lucas and take the 4x4 Desert Safari. You'll be taken through some of the most gorgeous tropical desert scenery and formations and enjoy a bumpy ride through the mountains. This is great fun for everyone.

#7. Sailing
The sailing around Cabo San Lucas is simply incredible. Take a chartered sailing cruise around the coast line. The visibility beneath the water is stunning, so you'll still see plenty of reefs, fish and marine life below you even as you enjoy the glorious view of the coastline.

#8. Wild Canyon
The Wild Canyon tours offer an adventurous way to see Cabo San Lucas from the air. Take the zip line tour across canyon regions spanning more than 9 times the length of a football field. If you're afraid of heights, don't panic. You're securely harnessed in and the view is really worth the effort. Remember that it gets quite hot in Cabo, so take plenty of water.

#9. Golf
There's nothing better than playing a round of golf when you're surrounded by stunning sea views and glorious weather. Even though the initial price looks expensive, remember that it includes your cart, range balls and anything you want from the beer cart.

#10. Water Sports
If you love water sports, then Cabo San Lucas is the ideal place for you. From magnificent parasailing to jet skiing, snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking and so much more, the brilliant weather coupled with the idyllic tropical waters means this is a haven for water-lovers.
