COViD restrictions have gone up there recently due to recent increase in cases there. Have had friends recently come back and many places closed or closed early or restricted capacity


Eta: so check with resort you are staying at

Flora Farms is really cool. You can make it a full afternoon and have dinner out there.

Totos Santos, Buzzards Bar are all really cool places in driving distance as well.

The marina is a cool spot for a half day.

What types of things do you like to do?

Legit dune buggies in legit dunes and also on the beach, upscale tequila tasting, wineries, cooking lessons, golf, etc....throw us a bone.

Cabo has a ton of things to do.

Pretty much everyone that has gone to Cabo has seen the arch.

Looks like the weather will be perfect. You're lucky. When we went it was hot and humid as could be.

To get the best deal on a boat to go see the arch, go have breakfast at the office. That restaurant is beachfront and they have their own private boat to take you over to lovers beach, which is just before the arch. It will only cost you five US dollars per person if you show the boat captain your receipt, but the restaurant should have somebody with a walkie-talkie to radio him over to pick you up.

For breakfast, order their banana pancakes, they are killer. Sit towards the back to avoid the beach peddling.

How long is the arch visit? Does it take a whole day? Half day?

From the office, it's a 10 minute boat ride each way. You can stay at Lover's Beach as long as you catch the last boat back.

Here is something I threw together:

Heading there in a few wks. OP let me know if the Office breakfast/ boat ride is still available.

What’s the best way to get around Cabo? They have Ubers there?

How’s the taxi situation there? Easy to pay with credit card?

If you are staying near town, just hop in a taxi. Your hotel can arrange it and it should be $8 US dollars from any hotel within a couple of miles from downtown. If you are downtown looking to get back to your hotel, always confirm the rate before you get into the taxi.


At the airport....After walking through the baggage claim area, just before you get outside to where all the taxes and transportation are, there is a room full of sales teams trying anything to sell you a timeshare, walk straight through that room and out the double doors where everybody is at the bar having their first cocktail before they even get into their taxi.

Taxis everywhere, fixed rates.

Pay with cash.

They have them, but they are operating illegally as they are not licensed there.
