Sportfishing & ATV, Cabo San Lucas Mexico

Sportfishing
Cabo San Lucas is known as the Marlin Capital, thanks to the 40,000 marlin and sailfish caught each year in its waters.  There are also plenty of dorado, wahoo, tuna, roosterfish and other desirable species.

“Fish and release” is very common in Los Cabos, but if you prefer to keep your catch you can have it cleaned to enjoy either on your boat or in a favorite restaurant; local eating places charge a reasonable fee for cooking your catch.

The best season for fishing is from mid-October to December.  More than 500 boats are available for lease, ranging from luxury sportfishers to small “pangas”; the majority set out from the marina, which has anchorage for 300 vessels.

Sea Dunes and Desert – ATV Tours
An imposing landscape of white sand dunes surrounding several abandoned buildings – including an old lighthouse - awaits visitors to Cabo Falso (“False Cape”), not far from Cabo San Lucas. Visitors can opt to explore the site using all-terrain vehicles (ATVs).

A ride through mountains and desert, along streams and waterfalls, while observing local plants and animals, is one of the many exciting experiences that can be had by joining guided ATV tours out Los Cabos. There are excursions lasting from ninety minutes to as long as five hours for those eager to explore more remote zones and little-known oases.

The cost of an ATV tour includes a mandatory protective helmet, bandanna, goggles and plenty of water. These excursions are generally in the afternoon, leaving San Lucas at 3:00 p.m..  The late departure time gives you the chance to watch the sun go down, in addition to enjoying all the natural beauty as you make your way to the hidden, unspoiled beaches of the Sea of Cortez.
