This vacation was one of the most lavish things that my husband and I have done in our entire marriage and lives. We wanted a dream, once in a lifetime vacation, a lot of memories, something that the Los Cabos area was able to provide.

They are not lying about the vendors -- and time share people. You can take a water taxi from end to end, but go out and ask the driver yourself, dont take ride through people on shore, they are most likely timeshare

Just as beautiful as the pictures! See my pictures :)

There are lots of rules, but it is still lots of fun!!

$80 USD per person per hour for single rider - worth it though! Training is given for first timers too, and some mild humiliation ... a lot of fun

We only paid $20 per person for this tour through Baja Explorer in our hotel, and it included the free ride too and from Cabo San Lucas (approx. $70 in a taxi) The best captain on the boat, took us places the other boats wouldn't dare go -- a lot of fun.

Offers 2 pick up times, 1pm or 5pm -- cheaper than a taxi plus you get the boat ride for free -- and a lot of information too on the geography and wildlife too

rock, we aren't exactly fishing people, but after talking to some people why we were down there, we wanted to try it. They said it was a amazing. The tours that we looked into were $500 per day though, boat, and all fishing equipment, licenses and refreshments for the day included (per person). Next time we go, we said if we want to do this, we are going to take it through the timeshare people as the free activity.

adela, all together, airfare, transfers, and activities, not including souvenirs and tipping, we spent about $5500. Tipping was at least $350, souvenirs, about $600, nearly $7000 by the time we got the photos processed! Way over out budget, but way worth it!

been down there lots, but not as a hotel customer. my daughter lives there. most of the activities
can be used by none staying customers and you also can find some places to rent in some of the towns around the area. my daughter lives in la paz. it too is a wonderful place to visit on a longer term relaxing trip. wonderful beaches, shopping and whale watching in season. My husband and I love to go fishing, tuna, yellowtail and sailfil are great fun.

Cabo is wonderful. We went the first time in January 02. Was nice but did have some rain and a little cool for me. We did buy a time share at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach. Went back in October -- great weather. Another time in March..coldest March they ever had so we were told. We go around the first and second week of October. 08 will be our fifth trip to Cabo. Pueblo Bonito is a great place but stand your ground about your accomodations. Once they hook you into a timeshare and you go back for your stay they will place you away from the beach and what they actually showed you. I'm sure they all do that.
