Things To Do In Cabo For Kids 

Cabo San Lucas is most often thought of as a party destination, and not without good reason. People flock to it from all over the world for the friendly locals, the wild nightlife and the superb resorts. However, more and more, families are also travelling to this jewel at Land’s End, and not just for the fabulous Medano beach! To respond to that trend, local tour operators have stepped up to the plate and can offer a huge variety of trips and tours for children and young adults of all ages and tastes. You can use iTravel-Cabo.com to research all of these, but here is a small selection to get you started.

Whale Watching

California Gray whales make their annual migration from Alaska to the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez to give birth to their babies. Whale watching in Cabo San Lucas during the winter months with an experienced guide is a truly unforgettable experience that will move visitors of any age. There is no better place in the world, it has been said, than Los Cabos to see these magestic creatures up close and personal. The main reason being that they travel in such large numbers so close to shore - on occassion they can even be seen in the bay at Medano beach!

Turtle Release

Every year, several species of endangered sea turtles nest in the warm sands on the many beaches around Los Cabos. Conservation efforts focus on helping the fragile, tiny hatchlings safely into the sea. Many of the local tour operators offer trips to see this wonderful natural spectacle in season.

Enjoy an exciting and fun day in a variety of different landscapes, normally trekking through sections of the desert ending on the beach at Migriño where you can enjoy the surf and even see whales. NB – this activity has strict age limits and you should do some research before booking to ensure it is suitable for your children.

Wave Runners

There are a huge number of wave runner operators on the beach at Medano.
