For those not inclined to kayak in Cabo Bay, several places within driving distance offer excellent paddling, kayak rentals, and guided trips.

Immersive Kayaking Experiences in and around Cabo

Kayaking is a remarkable way to explore the breathtaking aquatic environment of Los Cabos. Including Cabo San Lucas, the Tourist Corridor, and San José del Cabo.

The region’s tranquil waves and serene beaches make kayaking ideal for those seeking a peaceful water experience.

Paddling through these waters offers encounters with diverse marine life, such as pelicans, seals, sea lions, and more.

Self-Guided Kayaking Options in Cabo

For those preferring a solo experience without group outings or guides, kayak rentals are available from various vendors on Médano Beach.

You can easily rent sit-on-top kayaks in Cabo Bay and explore nearby attractions. The attractions include the Arch, the Sea Lion’s Colony, Neptune’s Finger, Lover’s Beach, and others.

However, caution is advised, especially when cruise ships are in the bay due to increased boat traffic.

Early mornings offer calmer conditions, as Cabo life generally starts late. With most activities in the bay and its beaches commencing after 11 a.m.

At Los Cabos

I used to live in Los Cabos for some time and worked here as a boat captain in one of Cabo San Lucas' leading tour companies. Back then, I came for 6 months but stayed for 18. I've done a bunch of things, and visited multiple hemispheres. I traveled and lived in other countries. And now I'm back here, At Los Cabos.
