Fishing Cabo San Lucas – need we say anything? If you haven’t heard of the fishing in Los Cabos, then you are in for a major surprise. This place is the mecca for sports fishing. So head on down to the Cabo Marina or Palmilla beach and get yourself a fishing charter. Charters come in all sizes and price ranges. You may want to shop around on the internet before you arrive in Cabo.
Golf – those of you who seek torture and frustration, might want to try the game invented in Scotland. You should have 14 crooked sticks, and about 2 dozen dimpled balls. Your goal will be knock one of the balls into a gofer hole located 400 yards away and repeat this process 18 times. This is called golf. You may want to taking up drinking instead.
Los Cabos has become the premier golf mecca in North America. There are 7 championship golf courses, with more on the way, offering over 140 holes of golf with some spectacular views. A prerequisite to playing golf in Los Cabos is to bring along your platinum card.
Jet Ski – take your heart rate monitor when attempting this. It’s a motorized toy that goes like hell. If you prefer a fruity experience where you can mingle with a group while riding the surf, try the banana. A little strange but hey, what the hell you’re in Cabo.
Kayaking in the Sea of Cortez – fancy taking a skinny narrow tube with a hole in it and getting in and paddling like hell, then this is for you.
Para-Sailing – fancy having a tug a war with a boat, then grab hold of the end of a rope and have a couple of strings tied to your back with a sheet above and go para-sailing; where you are guaranteed to get up, and down, though they wont guaranteed at what speed.
Skimming – head over to the beach, throw a flat board onto the sand, wait for the surf to approach, run and jump on the board. Land head first into the water. This is skimming for beginners. After awhile you will get the hang of it, and end up skimming the surface of approaching waves.
Snorkeling – If you don’t mind breathing through a tube there is amazing snorkeling to be experienced. If you don’t have an ear infection or a cold, you may want to try diving where you will get to experience the most amazing things; a place on earth that Jacques Costeau frequented and photographed.
Surfing – if your idea of sun tanning is lying on your tummy, then get yourself a board, float out on the water, hang around with another 50 guys at Old Man’s bobbing up and down for 8 hours waiting to catch a few waves. Rocks and sea urchins are to be avoided at all costs.
During summer months, the best breaks are to be had on the Sea of Cortez. During winter months head over to the Pacific side to experience some great surf.
Swim with the Dolphins – one of Cabo’s newest attractions. One of life’s most amazing experiences.
Sailing – on occasion Cabo experiences conditions though check before arrival.
Ultra Lights – you are now ready to take to the friendly skies of Los Cabos, Mexico. Rent a piece of metal tied to a lawn mower engine, with a couple of blankets above you and trust that the guy with the stick in his hand is going to get you up and down in one piece.
