Sunset Cruise “Mexican Fajitas” Experience Tour: A Spectacular Evening in Los Cabos
Imagine floating on a luxurious catamaran, the sun dipping toward the horizon, casting warm hues over the iconic El Arco and Lover’s Beach. For six hours, you get to enjoy the best of Los Cabos, combining sightseeing, authentic Mexican cuisine, lively music, and a relaxed party atmosphere—all for $140 per person. The tour departs from Cabo San Lucas, guided by friendly, English-speaking guides who double as certified tour guides, making sure you get both fun and insightful commentary along the way.
What we love about this experience is how it balances scenic beauty with cultural flavor. First, the stop at downtown Cabo San Lucas offers a quick dose of local shopping, tequila tasting, and a peek at the Pearls Museum—perfect for those wanting a taste of the town before heading offshore. Then, the voyage on the largest and most well-equipped catamaran in Los Cabos promises breathtaking views of the famous El Arco, Lands End, and the Sea Lion Colony, all from the comfort of an open-air deck. And let’s not forget the dinner—authentic Mexican fajitas served on deck while a live band plays—there’s nothing quite like eating with a sunset backdrop.
A possible consideration is the group size. With a maximum of 30 travelers, it’s a relatively intimate setting, but during peak booking periods (about 28 days in advance), securing your spot might require planning ahead. Also, weather can always be a factor, but the tour offers a full refund or rescheduling if canceled due to poor conditions. This makes it flexible for travelers who want a dependable sunset experience.
This tour suits travelers who appreciate authentic scenery, cultural experiences, and relaxed party vibes. It’s especially perfect for honeymooners, couples looking for a romantic evening, or anyone wanting to enjoy Los Cabos from a different perspective—on the water, with good food, music, and a view that’s hard to beat.
