Top 10 2-Hour Experiences in Los Cabos

1.Whale Watching in Cabo: 2-Hour Small Group Tour to The Arch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 62 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $45Our pick

Cruise Cabo’s coast for about two hours, with 45 minutes at El Arco, Lover’s Beach, and Land’s End, followed by roughly an hour of whale watching. An English-speaking crew leads the trip, and guide Jorge has earned special praise. Expect a small boat, a $5 dock fee, and no hotel pickup.

“I don’t recommend choosing this company. We came to Cabo San Lucas just to go whale watching and this was not the experience we expected. The whole check in was super chaotic and confusing. We had to wait for more than 30 minutes to get on a boat and then after about 20 minutes into the tour, the boat ran out of gas and we were left drifting in open sea for about 30 min until someone came to the rescue. People were getting sea sickness, we had kids on the boat having a hard time and being scared. The captain never took it seriously or apologized, he was just…”

Join Cabo Adventures for a two-hour whale-watching trip from Cabo San Lucas, with pickup from Cabo or San José del Cabo. A marine guide explains whale behavior while a hydrophone lets you hear underwater calls. The fast inflatable boat gets you close, but bring warm clothes and expect spray.

“Thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. This is the second time we have done this and I enjoyed it just as much 4 years later. Really enjoyed that our boat was fast and we were able to get to whales quickly and that we did not travel with a pack of other boats.”

4.2 Hour Sunset Tour on Catamaran in Cabo San Lucas

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 30 reviews · 2 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $85

Sail from Cabo’s marina toward the Arch, Lover’s Beach, Pelican Rock, Land’s End, and Divorce Beach. The crew serves beer, cocktails, soda, water, and snacks as sunset approaches. Tony Castro operates this casual, music-forward cruise, with crew members such as Sochi helping with drinks and photos.

“The tour was amazing, the whole staff was very friendly and welcoming. It was a moderate group, not too many people, still tried to keep to myself due to COVID. We were allowed to drink, so people did not have their masks on, but the boat did have enough room to be able to be kinda secluded. Staff always had their masks on. I felt safe, also the boat ride wasn’t as choppy as I thought it’d be, I was scared if I would get sea sick, but was perfectly fine. The bartender made sure you were always serviced and there was also a photographer on board who took photos…”

5.ATV Single in Cabo San Lucas /2 Hours/ migriño beach and desert

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 21 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $55

Ride a semi-automatic ATV from Cabo San Lucas through desert trails, mountain country, sand dunes, and Migrino Beach. Hotel pickup, safety gear, water, and bilingual guides are included. Pablo and Alex have guided some outings. Plan for a $25 park fee and optional $25 collision insurance.

“Cool views. The process took longer to get your ATV more than the actual experience. Only 30 minutes of driving the atvs for 80 bucks was not worth it. Didn’t even get to go full speed with it following the tour guide. Not only that one of the people in our group got stuck and we had to wait 15 minutes for them to get out. I would recommend the other ATV company on viator.”

6.Whale Watching Experience in Cabo San Lucas 2 hours

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 16 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $40Best value

Spend about two hours on a boat off Cabo San Lucas, looking for whales and photographing the Arch, Lover’s Beach, CALMEX Beach, and a rock shaped like Baja California. The tour is offered in English, holds up to 18 people, and includes bottled water and an onboard restroom, though you should confirm both before departure.

“What we did enjoy was we saw 2 whales & all the famous landmarks. Although there was an advertised restroom on board as well as water on board. There was neither. I am pregnant and book specifically because these were advertised. I was so thirsty and also had to use the restroom so it made my experience uncomfortable. I also booked an English speaking tour because we don’t speak Spanish. The tour guide knew very little English. I’m just glad our kids had fun.”
