The 8 Half-Day Tours in Los Cabos We Would Book Again

1.Private Half-Day Sport Fishing in Los Cabos

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 75 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) Our pick

Fish from a private panga for about five hours with a captain such as Pedro, Tony, or Chummy. Your group of up to three heads toward the Sea of Cortez or Pacific for marlin, dorado, wahoo, roosterfish, and more, with gear and an ice chest provided.

“Wonderful experience even despite sea sickness. Captain Pedro was super friendly and genuinely focused on helping us hook dinner--- and we did-- a beautiful 12 lb Maui. He prepared our catch for cooking, which was on the table at Captain Tony's restaurant in 40 minutes. JC, who coordinates everything especially took care of us when unexpected weather conditions prevented our driver from picking us up. JC LITERALLY went the extra mile(s), and quite a few, for us to ensure we were taken care of right away. You don't need to pay $600 for a great, quality experience -- you can choose Sushi Time and have it all at an a…”

4.Private Half-day Deep Sea Fishing Charter in Cabo San Lucas

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 15 reviews · 5 hours (approx.)

Fish for five hours from Cabo San Lucas with a captain and mate, passing El Arco, Lovers Beach, and a sea lion colony. Five rods, ice, a restroom, and safety gear are supplied. Captains have included Alberto, Antonio, and Charlie, but bring cash for licenses, bait, drinks, and tips.

“Really good time, the captain and mate both were fluent in English. The only feedback was a little bit of nickel/diming: First, the fishing license was not included, which we knew- however the price was never very clear (16,18,20$? Actually said both 16 and 18 on the confirmation?) We paid 95 for 3 license, 1 live bait fee (Also expected) and 2 burrito (guy selling license selling them for a lady sitting there) so no idea what $ was what! Then when we came back, another guy at the pier required 1$ a person to disembark? What? Otherwise, wonderful time, the frew was good, boat was in good shape, fishing…”

We saw so many fish and the conditions were perfect. Carlos was the best guide and we can’t wait to book again. Highly recommend!!”

6.Half-Day San José del Cabo Zip Line and Rappel Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $120

Spend about four hours in a natural sanctuary near San José del Cabo, riding zip lines, rappelling, crossing a suspension bridge, and tasting tequila. Matias and his crew provide instruction, water, a snack, equipment, and round-trip pickup from select Cabo San Lucas hotels.

“A really fun time ziplining at Costa Azul. Pickup was a breeze in a shared shuttle. The actual experience was really fun, Matias and crew made lots of jokes and generally made it fun. My only wish was that we could go faster on the ziplines. :) But everyone gave great instruction, was super helpful. Rappelling at the end was pretty excellent, the food and drinks at the end were good, tequila tasting was a bonus! Just be advised that there is a bit of hiking uphill involved. Everything is clearly marked and they do have a couple of water stations, but if it's a hot day, just drink a…”

7.Half-Day San Lucas and San Jose Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 6 reviews · 6 hours · from $134

Spend six hours exploring both Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo with a bilingual guide, boat out to the Arch, local lunch, tequila tasting, and stops along the Tourist Corridor. Small groups of up to 15 keep the day personal, though some shopping stops may shorten time in the old town.

“We loved the tour! Highly recommend; enjoyed the boat tour to the Arch in Cabo, the glass blowing factory demonstration, seeing San Jose although would have been nice to have a little more time there to browse shops and skip the jewelry store stop for pearl demo as felt like a sales pitch. Lastly the lunch stop was great as food was authentic and off the tourist area which we would not have ventured on our own:) Our guide was fantastic, informative and fun.”

8.Half-day Wild Desert Polaris Razor UTV Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3 reviews · 5 hours (approx.)

Drive a 1- to 4-passenger Polaris RZR across Baja’s Great Trails, a route linked to the Baja 1000. Expect desert canyons, old villages, beach dunes, safety gear, a light lunch, and hotel transfers from San Jose del Cabo. Drivers must be at least 16.

“One of the best tours we’ve done while in los cabos. They picked us up at our hotel and we arrived pretty quickly to the destination. When we got there we did have to pay extra for the insurance but was worth it as one of the rzr we rented did break down however they got us another one to replace the one that had broken. The tour started pretty good paced to have fun and enjoy the rzr 1000. We then cruised up and down the beach to take nice pictures. A guy followed us taking profesional pictures as well. After the beach cruise we went through the mountains…”
