Tour Overview
While exploring the natural beauty of the California Golf’s stunning coastline, pristine blue waters serve as the perfect backdrop during this unforgettable five-day journey to Los Cabos.
Along the very tip of the Baja California Peninsula, you’ll find the colorful cities of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. These two towns together are the two Cabos, or Los Cabos. Here visitors come from around the globe to experience Los Cabos’ pristine beaches, vibrant art scenes, and stunning wildlife on both land and sea.
Home of the famous “Land’s End” arch where the California Golf and the Pacific Ocean meet, Cabo San Lucas was once nothing more than a fishing village with a few settlers. Today, Cabo San Lucas features some of the most luxurious resorts, a world-class marina, and the largest fishing tournament in the world. Thousands of people from all over the world come to appreciate Los Cabos’ thumping nightlife, some of the best deep-sea fishing in the world, and a wide variety of activities.
Displaying the more laid-back and artistic side of Los Cabos, San Jose del Cabo is bursting with fun activities, enticing attractions, and exciting things to do. With the city’s downtown plaza having become an Art District, visitors can find an array of artworks, including traditional Mexican art and local creations. Home to world-famous surf spots and colorful wildlife like marine birds, gray whales, and turtle hatchlings, San Jose del Cabo is the perfect place to cap off one’s Los Cabos experience.
Serving as one of the top places in the world to witness grey whales and whale sharks up close and in person, we recommend taking a look at our Discovering Baja California sample trip. When ready, get in touch with one of our Tour Consultants to include a fun marine experience on your custom voyage.

and I absolutely loved it
Thank you for a great trip! Merida is definitely a must see! A beautiful city! I felt completely safe and even went out in the evening to see the beautiful folkloric show at the town center. The central location of the Hotel del Gobernador was a really good choice! Everybody was very friendly , punctual and knowledgable. I really enjoyed Celestun and the tour into the estuary, the guide stopped for me in little towns along the way to Celestun to show me real life in villages in Yucatan. The tour through the swamp was interesting and super fun, because my guide had a very good knowledge about the wildlife and nature there. My Hotel in Cancun was sweet, very clean and friendly and the food in the Palapa was pretty good. I wanted a beach view so I decided to upgrade and it was well worth it. It is a great Hotel for familys with little kids so next time I probably would have picked a bigger Hotel like the Iberostar since I traveled by myself. However there was nothing wrong with The Kin Ha Beachscape , it is just more for familys and couples,good location for shopping. As always you guys were great in organizing everything for me and I felt very safe and well taken care of! Everybody was so surprised that I decided to go to Mexico by myself but I had full confidence in your company to make everything go smooth for me . I love that your company takes pride in making trips unique and knows how to customize . I went to Brazil with Yampu Tours a few years ago and my friend and I absolutely loved it! Keep up the good work and your customers have no other choice than to fall in love with the people and the countries they travel to!

Thank you for arranging the WONDERFUL trip
I write to thank you for arranging the WONDERFUL trip that we took to Central America over our Christmas holidays. We visited the Mayan Ruins at Uxmal, Chichen Itza, Tikal and Copan. All were fascinating, and different in their own way. We learned a great deal, and met some very nice people along the way. Every single guide and driver that you arranged were great. And we enjoyed the hotels that you selected. Thanks again to Angela who went to extra effort to make our airline reservation schedule work.
