kids-friendly adventures in cabo Cabo is abundant with land and water sports, which makes it an ideal destination for kids. Many of the resorts offer Kids’ Clubs featuring organized, fun activities, as well as baby-sitting and nanny services.
As a family, Medano Beach area is the best place to swim and try a variety of activities. Here, kids can learn how to snorkel, boogie board, surf, sail and kayak. The marina is a great place to catch a ride to Land’s End in a glass-bottom boat. You’ll be mesmerized by the colorful panorama of sea life below your feet. Swimming with the dolphins is an experience that all our guests have enjoyed especially the kids. All the dolphins at the Cabo facility are either rescued or born in captivity. Take a boat tour to Chileno Bay and snorkel in a cove resplendent with tropical fish. If you’re new to the sport, the captain and crew will give you the guidance you need to snorkel comfortably and confidently in crystal clear, protected waters. You can also drive to Chileno Bay and spend the day at the beach. Younger children will have a great time building sand castles and splashing about in the water, older kids can snorkel, or kayak around the reefs with Mom or Dad in a kayak built for two. They no longer rent this equipment at the beach so this has to be set up in advance through your concierge. On land, visit Parque Ballena in San José del Cabo, a half-hour drive from downtown Cabo San Lucas, with water fountains for running through, plenty of swings and jungle gyms, and lots of room to goof around and just be a kid. Up the block is the Caddyshack Mini Golf at the Rusty Putter. Children will have a fantastic time making new four-legged friends horseback riding. In the Corridor, Cuadra San Francisco offers trail and beach rides on well-trained horses that are appropriate for any level of experience. Lessons in dressage and horsemanship are also available.
