1. Snorkeling and boat tours: exploring underwater paradise

Los Cabos is a privileged destination for ocean lovers, and few experiences can match the thrill of diving into its crystal-clear waters. Snorkeling is one of the best ways to discover the local marine life, with colorful fish, vibrant reefs and, with luck, the occasional sea turtle crossing your path. Places like El Arco and Santa Maria Bay are ideal spots for this activity.

If you prefer to enjoy the scenery from the surface, a boat cruise is a perfect option. You can cruise along the coast, observe colonies of sea lions and relax with a drink in hand while the sun shines over the Sea of Cortez.

2. The speed of the ocean: jet skis and adrenaline on the waves.

For thrill seekers, jet skis are one of the best ways to explore the coast of Los Cabos. The feeling of freedom when accelerating over the water, with the wind in your face and the sun reflecting on the surface of the sea, is incomparable.

Besides the adrenaline rush, this activity allows you to get close to impressive rock formations and discover hidden coves that are only accessible by sea. At certain times of the year, it is even possible to come across dolphins swimming in their natural habitat.

The tour along the coast offers spectacular views, but the best comes at sunset, when the sky is painted in shades of orange and the ship seems to transport you to another era. Ideal for families, groups of friends or simply for those looking to experience the sea in a different way.

From the heights, the golden beaches, the cliffs and the infinite blue of the ocean unfold before your eyes. The sensation of floating in the air is as exciting as it is relaxing, making it a perfect plan for any traveler who wants to experience the destination from a different perspective.

    The Wild Canyon Adventure Park is a great park with all the security you would expect to do all the activities it offers. The zip line is super fun and with the bungee jumping it was a story to encourage us to jump but then we wanted to do it every time. Ideal to go with family or a group of friends.
