This is the shortlist we would hand a friend flying into Cabo: the 15 guided tours worth booking, each with its price, its traveller verdict, and the one thing to know before you commit.
Los Cabos arch cruise, San Jose mission sights, artisan glass and chocolate stops, and a real Mexican lunch. Small group day out.
“Packed just about everything into a single tour, which was great. We enjoyed our guide Oscar and the food was very good as well”
A small-group speedboat and **double jet ski** combo in Cabo, cruising the Sea of Cortez past the Arch and watching for whales.
“Great guides and a super fun experience :) Very much worth the money and quite a thrill. Beautiful location”
Half-day guided tour in Los Cabos with hotel pickup, Cabo’s highlights, clear-boat views of the Arch, plus tacos and tequila.
“A bucket list item for sure!! Our guide was excellent, the food was delicious and a ride on the clear bottom boat is a must! My husband said he wants to come back and do it again!!!”
Short snorkeling in Cabo San Lucas: calm bay waters, tropical fish, sea lions, and a scenic Lands End cruise for $70, about 2 hours.
“The staff were amazing-Polo our guide, Uber our photographer, and captain Flash! It was a beautiful day and the water a bit choppy. But they took care to be sure we had wetsuits and all the right fitted gear. They gave us a good safety review and we headed out. We didn’t realize how crowded the snorkeling area would be and the underwater visibility happened to be pretty poor that day. That is the reason for the four star review. The crew were awesome and company stellar. Overall, we saw some lovely fish and got to swim around pelican rock which had 3-4 sea lions napping on it. But the…”
Photo-first Cabo tour with an AC van, boat ride by the Arch, tacos and tequila tasting, pro photos included, and San José art-district time.
“This tour was amazing! From the trip to the Arch to the tequila tasting and everything in between. The restaurant our guide took us to was delicious! Definitely recommend taking this tour!”

San Jose del Cabo guided food tour with 6+ stops in 3 hours: aguas frescas, mole, birria, sopes, taco al pastor, markets, and paletas.
“Enrique was terrific. He shared historic info and was very knowledgeable about Cabo and Mexican food- The tour was lots of fun - we sampled delicious authentic dishes from local spots that I’d never have found on my own. Lots of food!!! Highly recommended.”
A guided half-day snorkeling tour in Los Cabos with easy beach entry at Santa Maria and Chileno bays, gear, and hotel pickup.
“Feb, water was cold so our guide waited on the beach joking about the water being too cold. So he threw a few little crumbs in the water and said there you go, go over there, come back in an hour! Not even close to where he threw the food! The masks where filthy with dirt and I was afraid to put the mouth piece in my mouth! This was booked because my husband is skeptical of the water so we thought a beach excursion would be a good first experience...WRONG! Truly disappointed that this came off the way it did, I was hoping for a positive breathtaking first experience…”
Guided 1-hour jet ski on Cabo San Lucas Bay from Medano Beach, with English support, safety gear, and optional hotel pickup.
“Filiberto was amazing! Took time to explain all the different amenities, never once felt rushed, and super accommodating!!”
Cabo San Lucas boat tour to El Arco plus guided snorkeling with full gear, fruit, and drinks, all in about two hours.
“Fun easy way to see the Arches, get some great pics, and then get some snorkeling in. Small group was nice, guides were very pleasant and helpful, always easy to find and schedule tours with Viator.”
Private Los Cabos city tour with hotel pickup: a glass-blowing factory visit, quick San José del Cabo Pueblo stop, and Cabo San Lucas walking time.
“Daniel was an excellent tour guide! He shared the history of the region and we got to see different places in San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas.”
Guided six-hour Todos Santos tour from Los Cabos: cultural sights, mission and town walking, Hotel California stop, plus lunch and shopping.
“I love the town of Todos Santos. Its historical buildings, hilly landscape, artisans and food. This was my third trip there and I was fortunate to stumble into the photo gallery of Pablo Marquez, a talented photographer. Our guide, Antony, was friendly and patient as we took our time at Justina’s Facrory and the Velvet Box. I recommend lunch from the street vendors.”
Sunrise off-road desert hike in Los Cabos with guide-led cactus spotting, ocean vistas, Hidden Arch photos, and a Quelele meal.
“The tour group size is kept small. Your hike starts with hotel pick up in a large SUV. They arrived to pick us up a few mins early so be sure to be on time if not 5 mins early. Then a drive to the ranch. After arriving your guide will take you on an ATV to the trail head. Our guide Pablo took his time to tell us about all the different cactus in the area. We were even lucky enough to get to try the Pitaya fruit! The hike its self isn’t very difficult but does offer mixed terrain. A pair of good walking shoes should be fine.…”
Shark-guided ocean swim in Cabo San Lucas with chumming for up to 8 people. 5 hours, drinks included, English.
“Best Cabo experience with the best possible crew! If you’re looking for an amazing adventure then you have to try this. Julian and our guide was spectacular in finding two sharks that came within 2 feet of our faces! Super safe and well organized. Highly recommend Mako Wildlife, and we’ll definitely be coming back for the whale adventures when winter rolls around”
