Are you planning on heading to Cabo San Lucas soon, and are wondering how to have the most memorable trip possible?
One of the most popular destinations in all of Mexico, there’s tons to see and do in Cabo - not to mention with lots of resorts and great restaurants to enjoy. However sometimes following just a few basic local tips can make your experience not only much smoother and cheaper, but also overall more memorable too!
In this guide we’ll explore how you can have the most memorable trip in Cabo San Lucas, by exploring some of our best tips based on our experience. This includes how to choose the right season for a visit, getting around Cabo as well as how you can avoid the crowds.
Local Tips For Your Cabo San Lucas Trip
Below in no particular order, let’s now take a look at the best ways you can have your most memorable and relaxing vacation in Cabo San Lucas.
Rent A Private Yacht To Explore The Mexican Pacific
There are plenty of boat tour providers in Cabo, and just a short walk around the harbour and Médano beach will show large groups being tightly fitted together to head out and see the Cabo San Lucas Arco. However there’s a much easier and more relaxing way of enjoying Cabo’s marine highlights. By renting your own private Cabo yacht, you can have full control and flexibility in what you do and where you head. The best part is that there’s also customisable services and trips for large parties too, such as for families, bachelors and bachelorettes.
Use A Private Transfer Service To Get Around Cabo
As you may already know, Cabo San Lucas is full of many incredible destinations and day trip highlights - however not all of these tend to be located so close together. This is even more true for day trips to further afield destinations such as La Paz, Todos Santos and the Cabo Pulmo National Park. Now while there is Uber in Cabo, the service is somewhat limited, which means other methods of transport can be more beneficial here. This includes using a private Cabo airport transfer service to get both to and from the airport, as well as around the city and nearby region - which is very flexible and allows for a much more relaxing and comfortable ride.
Head On An Open And Spacious Snorkelling Experience
Snorkelling is by far one of the most incredible activities to do when in Cabo San Lucas. Here we can find crystal-clear waters all around the coast of the city, as well as many beautiful types of bright and exotic fish species. Places like Playa el Divorcio and Playa el Chileno are perfect for going snorkelling, although they can sometimes get pretty busy. Instead we suggest heading on a tour, such as on a private bachelorette yacht tour with All Ways Cabo Boats where you will head to peaceful uncrowded spots, visit the Arch and even see Manta Rays and Turtles!
Visit During The Shoulder & Wet Season Months
The dry season months are notorious for being the most popular for Cabo, which run from November until April (and include dates for key holidays such as Christmas and Spring Break). However those who want a more authentic experience without jostling with crowds will love the shoulder and wet season months. Hovering between May and October, the weather in Cabo is still good and not that rainy given its unique geographical position - which means we can still enjoy beaches and day trips without jostling with large crowds everywhere.
Overview Of How To Have The Most Memorable Experience In Cabo San Lucas
Famed for its golden sand beaches, bright lights and almost endless entertainment opportunities, Cabo San Lucas is rightfully one of the most popular destinations you can visit in North America.
However there’s also many ways to enjoy the city and its highlights without jostling with crowds. As we’ve seen in this guide, it’s more than possible to enjoy snorkelling, visiting local attractions and even getting around without feeling like you’re in a constant tourist trap. Even just choosing the right months for a trip to Cabo can also impact the overall crowds and scenes that will be there, with the shoulder and wet season months being the very best for lower crowds.
