Todos Santos City Tour
Get to know the magical city of Todos Santos during a memorable evening tour led by a local resident.
During this tour, which offers private transportation, you’ll be able to drink in the views of the coastline before heading back into town to uncover local landmarks and brush up on the town’s rich history.
One of several notable stops along the tour includes visiting the city’s famed Hotel California, which was built in 1947 by a Chinese businessman.
Local legend has it that this hotel is the subject of the classic hit song “Hotel California” by The Eagles. While no definitive proof has been identified to support the claims, visitors and locals alike can’t help but notice the many similarities between the song’s subject and the hotel itself.
You’ll also be able to shop, dine, and browse at the Todos Santos Flea Market, well-regarded as a regional treasure.
Here, you can watch the intricate, handmade basket weaving process, sample delicious local cuisine at various farm fresh food stands, and find unique gifts for everyone on your list, like authentic Mexican silver, original artwork, and handcrafted artisan wares.

Sport Fishing
Another one of the top excursions in Los Cabos is sport fishing with local resident (and world record-holding spearfisherman) Sebastian Melani.
On this day-long excursion, seamlessly coordinated by the Costa Palmas Adventura team, you’ll head out on the Sea of Cortez, one of the richest bodies of water in the world that’s brimming with a menagerie of fish.
With Melani’s expert, hands-on guidance, you can expect to come back with an extra fresh catch of the day for your chef to prepare for dinner–not to mention a major adrenaline rush.
The most common catches include Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Dorado, and more–with over 900 species of fish and 2,000 species of marine invertebrates that call the Sea of Cortez home, the possibilities of what you’ll discover are seemingly endless.

Sunset Cruise & Cabo Sightseeing Tour
On this enchanting excursion, you’ll board a boat (one of the best catamarans in Cabo) with your local tour guide and set sail along the southern tip of the peninsula, known as Land’s End.
Along your voyage, you’ll pass by the iconic rock formation El Arco, which, in addition to being a gorgeous sight to see, also makes a stunning photo backdrop.
You’ll stop by Lover’s Beach, which is arguably one of the most beautiful stretches of sand in the world, as well as the spot where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean meet.
On the other side of Lover’s Beach lies the equally beautiful but much more treacherous Divorce Beach. With its rough waters and rocky conditions, it’s best to look but not touch at this exotic locale.
From there, the cruise continues with a delectable dinner and flowing drinks to keep the party going. Be on the lookout for sea lions sunning themselves on nearby rocks.
Energetic live music and a special show performance put the perfect finishing touches on your experience as the sun sinks into the cotton candy-colored skyline.

Your skilled guide will take you to all their favorite spots, departing from Santa Maria’s beach, just a short 20 minutes from where the cruise ship docks.
After a tutorial on using the mask and snorkel, as well as some extra safety tips, you’ll be ready to hit the water.
Upon the conclusion of an approximate 30 minutes of snorkeling at Santa Maria Bay, you’ll head on over to Chileno Bay for the next snorkeling segment, or you can choose to relax on the beach before heading into the water.
