Mexico's Baja Peninsula: Hike, Bike & Kayak

Hola! Welcome to Mexico. Your adventure starts with a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight in Cabo San Lucas – a coastal city on the southern tip of Mexio’s Baja California peninsula, known for its beautiful beaches, marine animals and nightlife. If you arrive early, maybe stroll through the upscale marina or go snorkelling at Medano Beach.

After your meeting, maybe head out to a local waterfront restaurant with your fellow travellers to celebrate the start of your adventure.

This morning, set off on a kayak tour from Empacadora Beach to El Arco. See the Arch of Cabo San Lucas up close, where only small boats can reach, before continuing past Lovers Beach to Divorce Beach where you’ll stop and explore. Then, paddle to Pelican Beach where you’ll dive into the clear waters for a short snorkelling session among the colourful fish and marine life.

This afternoon is then free for you to explore Cabo’s bustling streets. Maybe walk through a local market, buy handcrafted souvenirs or silver jewellery or cool off at nearby Medano Beach.

Later today, if you are still feeling energetic you can enjoy a short hike to Cerro de la Z for panoramic views of Los Cabos at sunset.

Travel to Todos Santos this morning – a bohemian town where the desert meets the ocean. When you arrive, wander the cobblestone streets lined with galleries showcasing local artists. Browse boutique shops selling handcrafted textiles and ceramics and see the historic architecture surrounding the mission church. Then, continue to La Paz where you’ll stay for the next three nights. Visit the Guardianas del Conchalito and learn how local women are working to protect and restore the mangrove ecosystems through hands-on reforestation, community education and sustainable oyster farming.

This evening is free for you to explore La Paz at your own pace. Maybe watch the sunset over the Sea of Cortez or find a local restaurant for a seafood dinner – your leader will have the best recommendations.

This morning, board a boat at La Paz Marina and set off for a full-day adventure. Join your expert guide and hear about the Sea of Cortez ecosystem during the scenic boat ride. Your first stop is Balandra Beach, where you'll disembark to swim in crystal-clear, knee-deep waters and see the mushroom rock formation. Then, continue through the interesting rock formations to the protected waters surrounding Isla Espiritu Santo. Here, you’ll put your snorkelling gear on and dive under the water to see the diverse wildlife, like the playful sea lions, sea turtles and colourful tropical fish in their natural habitat. After working up an appetite, relax on Isla Espiritu Santo's beach with a picnic lunch before sailing back to the marina.

Tonight, maybe head out for dinner on the waterfront and soak up the sunset views over the bay.

Spend the morning exploring La Paz at your own pace. Maybe ride the teleferico (cable car) for panoramic views over the city or if you’re visiting between October and April, maybe venture out to swim with gentle whale sharks in the Sea of Cortez. After lunch, head to the Sierra de Las Cacachilas mountains. When you arrive, grab your bike, strap on your helmet and set off onthe trails through diverse desert landscapes. As you ride, take in the mountain views overlooking the Sea of Cortez and learn about Baja’s incredible biodiversity and ancient connections between land and sea. After the ride, join your group for dinner at a nearby ranch and try some local dishes like plato paceno (fried meat and potatoes) before returning to La Paz.

After breakfast, journey into the Sierra La Laguna mountains, where you’ll start today’s hike. Set off through the La Zorra Canyon to a hidden oasis of waterfall pools – perfect for a refreshing swim after your hike! Then, continue to San Jose del Cabo for your last night in Baja.

This evening is free for you to explore at your own pace. Maybe visit the historic mission church or stroll along the cobblestone streets lined with boutique shops.

Tonight, maybe join your group for dinner and share stories and memories from your week exploring this beautiful peninsula.

As there are no more activities planned, your trip comes to an end today. If you’d like to stay longer in San Jose del Cabo, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time.
