This will be hosted in Los Barriles, which sits just north of the airport, and is a chance for athletes from near and far to put their kiteboarding skills on full display.

Best Things to Do in Cabo When You Visit
No matter how you enjoy spending your downtime when you’re vacationing far from home, Los Cabos is a place where you can fill your 2025 journey with customized opportunities for fun that perfectly match your personal travel style. If you happen to be heading here any time between December and April, you’ll be in just the right place to experience the best of area whale watching. Los Cabos is an idyllic spot on the map to make the most of witnessing whale migrations in the surrounding waters this time of year. While it will be entirely possible to spot these incredible creatures from certain shorelines, the best way to make sure you get the best vantage point is to head out on the water alongside a local guide. Tours that are led by naturalists are always recommended because you’re learn a lot about whales, their habitats, and conservation efforts along the way. Whether you’re hoping to spot humpback whales, or gray whales, you’ll want to aim for a tour that includes options to use a hydrophone onboard. This feature gives you a chance to potentially hear whale songs under the waves as you go!
In addition to mesmerizing whale-watching outings, you’re going to want to include at least one trip out to the iconic rock formation in Los Cabos during your visit known simply as “The Arch.” This beloved landmark is truly unique and while it’s been photographed endlessly and often seen on travel magazine covers, there’s nothing quite like setting your sights on it for yourself. Consider booking a boat tour out to the rock formation in the Sea of Cortez so you can get close and really focus on the natural beauty that surrounds you without having to worry about anything else. Make sure to grab your photo in front of The Arch and don’t be surprised if you find yourself lingering a bit longer than you might have originally planned once you see how fascinating it is up close.
Those traveling to Los Cabos in 2025 who can’t imagine anything more refreshing than time on the sand soaking up the sun will be thrilled with the sheer number of options they have to enjoy this activity no matter when they arrive. If you have to narrow down your list of beach hopping options during your stay, don’t miss out on some time relaxing on Playa del Amor which translates easily to Lover’s Beach. This stretch of gorgeous shoreline is accessible by boat and is a must-visit place when you want to create a picture-perfect day for yourself of sunbathing, snorkeling, and swimming. Of course, Medano Beach is also a must-visit when you’re in the mood to put your focus on watersports. Medano Beach is a popular place for paddleboarding, jet skiing and parasailing too so when you head this way for thrills, you’ll likely find others who have dropped by for the very same reason.
When you’re in the mood to learn more about Los Cabo’s rich culture, heritage, and history, an afternoon spent strolling through San Jose del Cabo is ideal. Take time to explore this historic center where you can browse art galleries filled with traditional works of art, try handmade foods, admire historic architecture and make the most of a laid-back vibe in a place that’s packed with stories to tell.
