There are many hidden gems along San José del Cabo`s bike lane. This fun outdoor experience is a great way to cover more land and get an overview of the town, and natural habitat surroundings, hear some local tips on places to eat, things to do and learn a different perspective to discover the town. In this 2.5 hour sightseeing bike tour (4 miles / 6.5 kilometers), we will ride a mountain bike over an safe and easy (mainly flat) bike lane from the San Jose del Cabo's hotel zone, to the beach, making a stop at the Oasis, the graveyard, a small cactus garden, the historic downtown and the Art District.

Inclusions: Bicycle hire, Helmet hire, Professional guide, Local taxes

Exclusions: Drinks, Gratuities, Transportation to/from attractions, Bike insurance, 150 pesos per flat tire (if it happens)

This walking tour was fascinating and engaging. Our guide was careful to find spots for us to sit when possible, and he paused when traffic went by, so we had no problem hearing him. There's a long version of this tour given to local high school students--I wouldn't mind having a part two so we could all have the opportunity to learn more about San Jose del Cabo.

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!

The kayaking was great, the sea flat calm, the water varying shades of green and blue. We saw many varieties of fish and birds, paddled past a heron and gull rookery. Watch an osprey fish and floated above the beautiful coral. But I think my favorite part of this, our second day trip with TOSEA was having Maurcio as our guide. Mauricio is very knowledgeable about the flora, fauna and sea life in the area as you would hope for a guide bur he also shared his understanding of the culture and history of the region and country. He was happy to address all our questions on a wide range of topics. A great guide and interesting person.

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.
