If you are about to travel to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, you may already have an idea of what you want to do and see. Your only goals might be to bask in the sun, drink some margaritas, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. But there is much more to Cabo, Mexico that you might imagine. This tropical paradise has horseback riding on the beach, whale watching, dessert hiking, and of course some rather impressive nightlife.

Horseback Riding on the Beach

Cabo San Lucas is one of those very rare places on earth where you can actually enjoy white sandy beaches strategically located near a dry but impressively beautiful dessert. And there is no better way to visit both of these magical regions at the same time than by horseback. When you travel to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, make sure to ask your hotel concierge about the many available stables located throughout the city. Tours are guided by professionals, and there are even family tours that are very child-friendly, too.

Whale Watching

Every year, the largest sea creatures on earth travel right past Cabo, Mexico just several hundred meters off of the coastline. The best time to see them is between January and March when the great grey whales migrate. Boating tours are offered that are guided by professional whale watchers who always guarantee the safety of their passengers as well as the safety of the beautiful, majestic sea beasts. It is not uncommon for many of these friendly creatures to be so curious by the large ocean vessel that they swim very close to the boat’s edge just to get a glimpse.

Other Sites to See

Hiking tours are also available through Cabo’s dessert lands, but the best time to take these hikes is during the winter months when the temperatures only hit in the mid 70’s. But when you travel to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, don’t forget to check out the Cabo Wabo Cantina, one of the most famous nightclubs in the area. You might even get to meets its owner, the world famous singer-musician, Sammy Hagar.
