Los Cabos is one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in Mexico. It is located in Baja California Sur with two essential areas, San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, part of what we know as Los Cabos.
Los Cabos stands out for its natural beauty, surrounded by the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean.
Something that gives you an extraordinary panorama of the mountains and rock formations in the background that make Los Cabos a very picturesque place.
Los Cabos is unique for its marine wealth, where you can find California sea lions, bottlenose dolphins, seals, blue whales, gray whales, humpback whales, coral cap, and orca, to mention some species.
Swim with Dolphins
One of the almost unmissable excursions in Los Cabos is to swim with these beautiful animals. The climate and biodiversity in this place have allowed Dolphin Discovery to bring this experience to its visitors.
They have four different options for swimming and interacting with dolphins, the main differences are the time and the more time you spend with these animals are, adding other interactions.
“Dolphin Encounter,” “Swim Adventure,” and “Royal Swim” are the most attractive packages to interact with dolphins with a kiss, hug, greeting, dorsal ride, hand target, and foot push. You can also interact with sea lions enjoying 60 minutes on the water with the dolphins. You can kayak near them in the lagoon.
As a fun fact, Dolphin Discovery has a program called “Miracle Reproduction” that has allowed the birth of all the dolphins there under human care.
This meeting happens in the marina “Puerto Los Cabos” in San José del Cabo.
Playa del Amor and El Arco
The Arch is also one of the almost unmissable excursions in Los Cabos. It is the icon and natural formation representing Cabo San Lucas and Los Cabos. It is where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean meet.
To get there you can get on a boat so you must hire an excursion, you will see sea lions and practice some aquatic activity such as paddleboard.
Near El Arco is Playa del Amor, a beach between two rock formations. Just seeing the place will leave you breathless. It is ideal for snorkeling or diving, as many marine species are in that area.
Swim with Whale Shark
Imagine swimming near the largest fish in the ocean, specifically a shark. But these animals are very peaceful and behave like their counterparts, the whales, so swimming with them is very safe.
The whale shark sighting season in the Sea of Cortez runs from December to March, when whales are most likely to be seen because they are born in this region.
The sighting happens near La Paz. But there are excursions departing from Los Cabos.
There is certainly a lot to do and see in Los Cabos, but these options are the best to start your trip.
