Immerse yourself in Cabo San Lucas' lively atmosphere with watersports and activities

An exclusive pacific retreat with exuberant marine life

Meaning ‘The Capes’, this is the collective name given to the southern tip of Mexico’s Pacific Baja Peninsula and refers to its two main towns : San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas.

With a coastal necklace of endless golden beaches, bays to surf in, coves to sail and much marine wildlife to spot in the Pacific and Sea of Cortez (which Jacques Costeau once said was the world’s biggest aquarium), a myriad water sports and a collection of elegant hotels, fun nightlife, and champion golf courses: Los Cabos is Mexico’s more refined and exclusive Pacific destination.

Every year from December to March, several thousand California grey whales migrate here to mate and give birth to their young in the warm lagoons and protected waters of this region.

The area also enjoys a year-long temperate climate with little rain, and a starkly beautiful, dramatic and colourful desert-like landscape, along with some of the best marine life viewing on the Planet.

The two towns also tell two different stories : San Jose was founded as a mission settlement and comes with a more laid-back, authentically-Mexican, colonial, and culturally artistic ambience whereas San Lucas, formerly a fishing village, is a livelier, more Americanised version.

Highlights

Explore the contrasting atmospheres of Los Cabos’ two main towns: the laidback and traditional San Jose and the lively, action packed San Lucas

Discover a plethora of marine life in the Sea of Cortez, including California grey whales, sharks, rays, sea lions and dolphins

Explore the landscapes with action packed activities such as watersports, ATV tours and snorkelling

Los Cabos is known for its fabulous variety of restaurants and nightlife options, and while these are certainly a great way to elevate your trip, the real star of the show is the enchanting array of marine life awaiting discovery in the dazzling Sea of Cortez.

When to visit

Mexico experiences both a wet and a dry season, although weather can vary depending on where you go in the country. The dry season runs from November to April, and brings cooler, less humid weather, while the wet season, which runs from June to October, sees daily downpours. Hurricane season occurs along the coastal regions from September to mid-October, and we advise against travelling during this time.
