Top 7 Outdoor Activities in Cabo

Summertime in Cabo is high time to get outside and explore! Organized tours are an excellent way to explore Los Cabos. From Cabo San Lucas whale watching and deep-sea fishing tours, to snorkeling and sailing with Cabo adventures, the knowledgeable Activities Desk staff at any Pueblo Bonito Resort can help you choose the best Cabo tours or resort activities for your interests and budget. This month we’re highlighting seven of our favorites.

Whale Watching - We won’t try to explain how the largest mammal on earth is such a graceful and adept swimmer, but we can tell you how to see a great humpback or gray whale during your visit to Los Cabos. Winter is when we see these two species in abundance as they migrate to our balmy climes after having summered in Alaska and British Columbia. Of course, catching a glimpse of a whale isn’t a guarantee any time of year—no tour company can predict nature—but there are known “hot spots” and, if you book more than one trip out into the water, you’re sure to increase your chances! Talk with our concierge to plan your trips today.

Deep Sea Fishing - Bait your hook for a morning of deep-sea fishing. Our coastline has long drawn experienced and leisure fishermen alike, with plentiful waters that promise catches you’ll reminisce about for years. Cabo San Lucas is internationally recognized for its offshore sportfishing with sizable marlin, though autumn tends to lure top results. Throughout the year, and in June, you can count on bites from other massive billfish, like swordfish and sailfish. You’ll also come across mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and shark. Should you decide to venture into the world of mangrove fishing expect bites from snook, red snapper, grouper, and triggerfish.

Oceanside Golf at Quivira - If fishing isn’t your thing, book yourself a tee time at Quivira Golf Club. For the seventh consecutive year, the world-famous course has received The Editors' Choice: Best Golf Resorts in Mexico and Central America award by Golf Digest. It’s the newest of more than a dozen Jack Nicklaus layouts in Mexico, and perhaps, we think, his most compelling, with holes along and atop granite cliffs and sand dunes overlooking the Pacific. Indeed, the diversity of the holes, from cacti and arroyos in rolling desert foothills to windswept dunes and cliffs, is supreme and unparalleled amongst other courses in the region. But you and yours don’t have to be the best in order to play; situated beside the clubhouse is a spacious, double-ended practice facility right alongside the beach. 

Set Sail - Relax aboard luxury French-made sailing yachts as you skate across the sparkling sea surrounding Los Cabos. On Cabo Adventures’ Luxury Day Sailing Los Cabos tours, expert tour guides will take you up close to all of the scenic hotspots in Cabo San Lucas. You’ll cruise past the famous Arch, Lover's Beach, Medano Beach, Pelican Rock, and the always-bustling sea lion colony. Keep watch along the way for incredible marine life like dolphins and rays. But sightseeing wouldn’t be the only thing you’d get to do while onboard. Midway through the tour, your crew will drop anchor in a protected cove to give you the chance to soak up the sun, snorkel, and paddleboard before savoring a gourmet lunch on deck. Snap some photos or simply unwind at this picturesque pitstop. You’ll be amazed at the pure natural beauty of the hidden cove.

Zip Lining - In the mood for an adventure? Experience the vast beauty of Cabo and the awe-inspiring scenery a UNESCO protected biosphere reserve from hundreds of feet off the ground on a thrilling Zip Line tour. There are several Cabo Zip Line tour options to match the experience you want, from a leisurely beginner's ride to extreme high-speed thrills. Rappel from sheer rock walls, brave the commando bridge, zip through extreme canopies tandem style and upside down before swinging high over the canyon on Cabo Adventure’s signature “Pendulum” tour. Whatever your zest for adventure Pueblo Bonito’s resort desk will be happy to recommend the perfect tour for you.

Snorkeling - Perhaps you’ve visited Lover’s Beach and captured memories in photographs by Land’s End Arch. But have you snorkeled alongside the inspiring rock formations? Well, now’s your chance! Sunny, tropical, and virtually bursting with wildlife, Cabo San Lucas is home to an incredible array of marine life and stunning underwater landscapes. Using some of the finest snorkeling equipment in the industry, you’ll be able to slip on a mask and swim around in it with Cabo Adventure’s snorkeling tours. One of the tour’s top destinations is Pelican Rock where you’re likely to see sea turtles, surgeon fish, parrotfish, angelfish, Moorish idols, rays, and more. If you prefer paddling of a different variety, hop onto an awesome paddleboard to see what all the buzz is about! Never tried it? An expert guide will teach you. There are countless ways to explore the Cabo Corridor including Santa Maria and Chileno bays which are just a short trip from your home away from home at Pueblo Bonito.

Animalón by the Sea - We’d love for you to dine with us at any one of Pueblo Bonito’s gourmet restaurants and encourage you to reserve your table of choice. But while you’re in Los Cabo’s, you really must visit its first floating restaurant, too. Acclaimed chef, Javier Plascencia has created a moving feast of sorts, aboard a 49-foot boat with luxury details unique in Los Cabos. Animalón By the Sea offers a 5-course seasonal menu replete with only Baja ingredients that pay homage to local producers, and the lifestyle of Baja Sur. The perfect wine pairing is suggested for each course in the meal, honoring the belief that the right complement will serve to balance the palate and enhance the overall dining experience. As you dine, you’ll enjoy a 3-hour sunset journey that begins at the Cabo San Lucas Marina and sails through the Sea of Cortez with close-up sights of the Land’s End Arch, Lover’s Beach and more. Very often guests on board will get to share their experience with such marine life as whales, sea lions and dolphins.
