Top 10 Historical & Heritage Tours in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur

March 18, 2022 Leonardo Torrence

As a well-known destination for both spring breakers and A-list travelers in need of a getaway, Cabo San Lucas has definite vacation cred. The beaches here range in temperament, from the serene waters of the Sea of Cortez and Playa del Amor to the kickin’ waves of Zippers, a surfing paradise. If you care to romp with locals, head to the coves and rock formations of the Cannery beaches. Kids will have a blast communing with the local animals by swimming with dolphins or taking a camel ride through the Desert Park Natural Reserve.

Overall a fun adventure once we actually started driving the ATVs and our guide was great however check-in was unnecessarily stressful and difficult. They try to upsell the better ATVs and scare you into the insurance (both are totally unnecessary). Also, they did not follow what they said they included on the website though we booked through a third-party, My Cabo Experience, which owns some of the blame. Compared to other companies and what they offer, this is very overpriced.

We booked this hike for our last day in Cabo. Little did we know we would save the very best until last. What a way to remember the Baja Peninsula! From the moment we met Danny, we knew this was going to be a really fun excursion. Turns out both my husband and Danny are rock climbers and that jump started our conversation. From there, Danny shared information on Cabo, the highway we traveled to Todos Santos and the history of Todos Santos itself. After a tour of the town that included more interesting facts and history, we went to an open air restaurant he recommended and were treated to some of the best food we have had anywhere. From there we headed to the "trailhead" for the sunset hike which started from the locals fishing beach. It was refreshing to hike an area we had entirely to ourselves, learn about some of the native plants, scramble up rocks and take in the incredible vistas at the top. We made it to our destination in time to watch and listen to a colony of sea lions swimming and barking below us. Pretty sure Danny arranged that too. He was that good. (: If you can only choose one thing to do while in Cabo, make sure it's this hike!

Crowning our excursion with a 4 miles loop hike, moderate effort at the outskirts of the town to enjoy the incredible sunset view of the pacific cliffs. A great excursion to visit Todos Santos hidden spots, easily missed by the regular travelers.

I booked transportation and several tours through the Cabo day trip. They are very responsible and always responded very quickly. The snorkeling tour we booked was canceled because of the condition of the ocean, we took a camel ride tour instead. It was more interesting than I expected, and my daughter loved it especially because we could see various animals.I recommend this if you have small children.

Tour was beyond horrible. Worst 11 hr day.....Highlight should be Balandra and that's what description states. Your company misled entire van of tourists and didn't even get into Balandra at all so no great views nor mushroom rock. Forget any pictures. Went to ghetto beach that was filthy, fly infested and not 1 person even went in water. Everyone just stood there in disbelief this is what we get for price paid. No upbeat morale from guides when picked up from Krystal resort or go over itinerary for day just so everyone on same page or have idea what to expect. Not much knowledge and when went to locations never given exact time like normally where told my watch is this time meet back at such time so everyone on same page. Pearl store, guy doing demonstration was rude and actually used unprofessional language around a child in group. All can say did we learn anything from our trip, absolutely not when it came to culture or history from area. Breakfast stop was only highlight of entire day. Lunch at restaurant lacked service and quality. Soup never came after asked 3 times and orders were confused when brought among entire group by staff. Unfortunately only had limited time in Cabo and this wasted valuable 11 hr day with nothing positive to say nor pictures of Balandra or mushroom rock. No memory captured except unpleasant horrible experience. Tour company and guides should be ashamed of themselves.

Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable and went out of his way to give us a good tour. The downside was the church was not open due to covid and the furniture builder was absent and was not building and the guide actually told us about the business. At the tannery, the tanner was there but again not much actually to see as they were not tanning any leather at the time. We were able to purchase some leather goods. Overall, we did get to see some real Mexico and some little communities and how people truly live there rather than just the tourist zones which was what we wanted from the tour. We enjoyed the tour and the day.
