Cabo visitors can sip and stroll with the Todos Santos Wine Experience, enjoying guided tours of Viñedo Las Tinajas and tasting a selection of wines paired with artisanal bruschetta.

Nature lovers can board a glass-bottom boat for the Transparent Boat Adventure, spotting vibrant marine life around Land’s End and the iconic El Arco.

For a mix of culture, history, and local flavour, The Best of Baja tour takes guests to Todos Santos, the Velvet Pearl Farm & Gallery, and the famous Hotel California for tequila tasting.

Adventure in Manzanillo

In Manzanillo, guests can explore tropical plantations, local villages, and hidden lagoons. Highlights include visiting a banana plantation and Barra de Navidad before enjoying drinks at Isla Navidad Resort.

Animal lovers can support conservation efforts at the Cuyutlán Turtle Sanctuary and Salt Museum, learning about traditional salt production and endangered sea turtles.
