This 60' yellow semi-submersible takes up to fifty guests for one hour tours of Cabo San Lucas Bay, with abundant views of the local marine life from their climate-controlled underwater viewing cabin, and the occasional Beatles song (you guess which one) as mood music. Helpful guides allow you to identify up to 70 types of fish (everything from dolphins and whales to colorful puffer fish), and if it isn't on the chart, crew are available to answer questions. On the return trip, the submarine goes very close to The Arch, and other notable rock formations like Pelican Rock and Neptune's Finger.

Enjoy incredible aerial views of Médano Beach, Pedregal, Land's End, The Arch, and Bahía San Lucas from a motorized ultralight. Pilot Ernesto Magaña has over 30 years of flying experience, and offers some of Cabo San Lucas' most exhilarating tours. Depending on your fear factor, there are basically two settings: smooth and extreme. Extreme is recommended. Either way, this is a sightseeing dream, with stunning views of all the local landmarks from a thousand feet in the air. Tour durations range from 10 minutes (Land's End Tour) to one hour (King Sky Tour), with the latter including a jaunt to San José del Cabo.

The Pez Gato fleet of catamarans boast some of the area's finest cruising tours, from cool sunset "wine and jazz" excursions aboard the smooth-sailing Tropicat to "fiesta dinner" outings with a Mexican buffet and open bar on the double-decker power cat Cabo Mar. Fleet flagship Pez Gato and newcomer Pez Gato III, meanwhile, offer snorkeling trips to gorgeous Santa Maria Bay, seasonal whale watching expeditions (mid-December to mid-March), and lively party cruises featuring drinking and dancing. All tours showcase guided looks at the evocative granite monuments found at the half-mile Land's End headland, such as Pelican Rock, Neptune's Finger, Cerro Blanco, Scooby Doo Rock, and El Arco (The Arch).

Surf lessons from the former national champion of México may be the most popular water-based activities option from High Tide, but the company's most iconic offering is a kayak paddle out to Land's End and the Arch, with a stop at Lover's and Divorce Beaches for sun, sand, snorkeling, snacks and superb photo opportunities. Stand up paddle boards are also availabe on this tour. Less active pursuits include an introduction to San José del Cabo's weekly Art Walk, and off-road jeep explorations of East Cape sites like Cabo Pulmo, a rustic seaside paradise whose offshore marine sanctuary boasts the oldest living coral reef in the Western Hemisphere.

Cuadra San Francisco is one of the Los Cabos area's hidden gems. Francisco Barrera and his son Valente are master horsemen, and they offer virtually every equine-related activity imaginable: trail rides over local terrain, romantic rides along secluded beaches, carriage rides for weddings or special events...even polo lessons. Francisco trained under Nuno Oliveira, the Portuguese legend considered by many to be the most outstanding horseman of the 20th century, and he excels at teaching dressage, and the traditional techniques of Mexican vaqueros. Their stables are located in the Tourist Corridor, just off the Cabo Real Golf course, and maintain close to fifty horses. Pony-sized horses with special saddles are available for kids, who can take lessons in either riding or archery.

Few local adventure companies can match Cabo Expedtions' variety of eco-themed activities, which include whale watching and swimming with whale sharks (seasonal), parasailing, diving, snorkel trips to Chileno and Santa María Bays, day trips to Isla Espíritu Santo off the coast of La Paz, and city tours around Cabo San Lucas. Perhaps the best thing about the company's collection of land and water based activities is that they cover a large portion of Baja California Sur, and thus provide visitors with wide-ranging introductions to the area's incredible bio-diversity Cabo Expeditions also offers visits to Wild Canyon's Kingdom, home to exotic and colorful animals like macaws, iguanas, and a crocodile..

Racing fans will be familiar with the legendary Baja 1000, the off-road race that winds down the peninsula from Ensenada to La Paz, with everything from motorcycles, buggies, and trucks trying to weather the shock-busting desert conditions. Wide Open Baja offers visitors a taste of these challenging conditions, with experiences, tours, and races that last from a few hours to four days. A Taste of Cabo is the introductory experience, a three hour adventure that includes up to 45 miles of off-road driving in an authentic $100,000 Baja Challenge race car. The car features a custom made Chromoly chassis, 4-speed manual transmission, 18 inches of suspension shocks and springs, safety harness, and a fresh air supply to combat the desert dust.

Cabo Adventures is one of the top activities companies in Los Cabos, with an impressive array of outdoor excursions that include dolphin swims, scuba dives, whale watching outings, outback camel tours, mountain biking and zip-lining through a UNESCO protected biosphere. For adrenaline junkies, the zip-line tour is the one most likely to set the heart racing, with a series of lines crisscrossing rugged terrain in the Boca de Sierra. The longest line stretches over 4000 feet, and allows visitors to race hundreds of feet above the canyon floor at speeds approaching 60 miles an hour. In addition to the half dozen zip-line rides, the exhilarating tour also offers rock climbs, rappelling, a Tarzan swing and swinging and commando bridges.

Based on a concept similar to that to the popular reality television show Amazing Race, A-Maze-In Cabo Race is at heart a tour around the city that offers participants an introduction to the area's signature sights, as well as a few lesser known landmarks. This is no typical self-guided tour, however. It's a fun-filled adventure/competition, with teams consisting of couples, family members or friends racing to decipher clues, solve puzzles and win interactive challenges in an effort to be first to the finish line. In addition to their classic race tour, A-Maze-In Cabo Race also offers fun-filled pub crawls, as well as tours custom tailored for birthdays, bachelorette parties, weddings and team building exercises. Race briefings are held at Giggling Marlin in downtown Cabo San Lucas.

The 144' luxury catamaran Caborey is the premier cruise ship in Los Cabos, best known for its perennially popular margarita and dinner cruises. The dinner cruise is one of the great local activities, particularly for those who are in town for a short time and want to get a feel for the local landscape, culture and cuisine. Enjoy the sunset views of Cabo San Lucas Bay, Médano and Lovers' Beaches, and the unique rock formations such as El Arco that jut out towards Land's End. There are two belowdecks areas for dinner, depending upon your ticket preference. There is a buffet on the middle deck, and a sit-down dinner on the lower deck with a choice of entrées. After the sit-down dinner, there is a rousing Las Vegas-style floor show featuring Mexican and Latin American singing and folk dances.
