Is Cabo San Lucas Worth the Hype? 

3 days in Cabo is not enough at all. I’m born and raised in Cabo. There is soooo much more!!! I haven’t been able to be home in 2 years and I miss it so much!!! It’s super healing there. Forever my home!

So jealous. We were there a few years ago and it was beautiful. We saw the arc and went on the beach too so this brings back a lot of wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing.

Glad to see you share my opinion that tourists tend to turn a special paradise into just another Wal Mart. I love your energetic and positive attitude.

We did a Humpback whale watching tour in Cabo many years ago about this time of year. It was amazing. Saw a bunch of moms and babies playing. Also saw quite a few dolphin pods too. Cabo is a naturally gorgeous place. So happy you enjoyed your day out on the water. Definitely worth it. Thanks for sharing.

My favorite coffee place in Cabo is The Cabo Coffee Company. And there's a great little restaurant next to it called Monkey Cave bar, good food at good prices...and they have an upstairs open air deck

Cabo is so amazing I was there for a week and i cant say enough of that place the ocean and the people and the food is all so amazing

Love the arches and Scooby Doo rock at 4:48 - thank you for sharing!

You’re killing me with these videos Laura! By comparison we just had a hailstorm here in Orange County 🥶 My trip to Los Barriles in June can’t come fast enough but you’re helping me stay focused. Keep on with the Festivus for the rest of us. Cheers! Jay

My husband & I visited Cabo in October 2018 I keep talking about going back. We stayed in Cabo San Jose' and took the public bus to Cabo San Lucas. The Arch and all the structures at Lands End are beautiful. We were there when the beach at the Arch was visible (which only happens every few years as we were told) and I think people were out on the beach there. While we stayed in San Jose we visited the city center & walked around the square. The whole time we felt safe. It was so peaceful, the people were nice & the food was great everywhere we went! Glad you enjoyed yourself.

When I went, my favorite part was the boat tour out to the arch and the sea life!!

I love Cabo, been there numerous times. Just got back 3 weeks ago. The best thing about it is the weather. We go in January and it never rains!! We stay at Hacienda del mar and we absolutely love it!! Definitely worth the hype!

good light that day, with good music.

Cabo looks amazing! We were in La Paz last year and absolutely loved it. Hopefully one day we can return to Mexico and check out Cabo 😀

My wife and I vacation regularly in Cabo. We love Cabo, San Jose del Cabo, and Todo de Santos. We still need to get to La Paz. The food on the peninsula is amazing, and the scenery is the best. I love the contrast of the desert and the ocean, and whale season is spectacular. We enjoy your videos as we’ve learned of many restaurants and locations to add to our to do list. Keep up with the great videos! We need to learn Spanish. Did you know Spanish before you moved there?

We always stay at Sandos Finesterra and we love it. Cabo is our go to place now.

My wife and I visited in January, 2018. It's gorgeous, and on our list of places to live. You will not regret it...

I’ll be down there in exactly one week can’t wait!

We love Cabo, cant wait to go back again.

Cabo is worth every cent!!! Been there twice, can’t wait to go back!

Great videos and helpful in deciding where to go.. Thanks

Thank you so much for rekindling great memories. Mama whales come down from the colder waters of the North to have their calves. They will head back as the young ones grow and can be seen traveling all along the west coast.

Wow i really miss Cabo San Lucas , ive only gone once and that was back in 1991 and I was 3 years old. Its even more appealing now that is freezing here in Monterrey tonight is gonna drop to -4 degrees and is gonna snow but well its still winter i suppose.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing 😊

Love your videos on Cabo... but I need to go back. Probably been 30x and each time I’m more in love. Thanks for sharing the whales with us. Hoping they are still there in 2 weeks!

Hi I wanted to come back to say MUCHAS GRACIAS for all your BCS videos ! Very helpful; we completed a fun trip incorporating a few of the locations you covered . All had good points, but but yeah….LP > SJdC > CSL. The small towns of course are gems too. Definitely coming back .

I enjoy your videos. Thinking 3 to 4 days would be plenty there. We did enjoy San Jose del Cabo 30 some years ago. It was less built up than Cabo San Lucas but again 4 days was about right.

I hear so much about Cabo. Watching this video likely saved me some money.

I went on a princess cruise and stopped at Cabo in 1975. I was Thirteen years old. The ship had at most 300 passengers. Not like today. There were no docks. They had to use launches to bring us to the Cabo Beach. The most beautiful thing I ever saw. Only white sand beaches. No resorts. Only a very small marina for a few sport fisherman's. I am blessed to have seen this place unmolested. I have no desire to ever go back. Because my memory would make me sad for what it has become.

One of my favorite things to do for day drinking is at cabo wabo patio bar. Have a great couple who have been there for years playing music for us older crowd. Very talented. Sqidd row are for days gone by. Still love cabo 17 years and had many great memories.

Beautiful, overwhelming, exhausting. I think you hit the ail on the head. Great episode!

A big surprise for me was the great dining in Cabo. Avoid the all inclusive resort and go for quality over quantity.

I went 2 years ago by myself and I love it because I went to the not so much tourist places so yeah loved it and want to go back

Curious question... When you did the island drop-off, did you pay half before and half after? Or did you just go full trust and pay all ahead of time? Thanks in advance

Thank you for your videos! My husband and I will be there on March 1st. It will be our first time! So excited/nervous. I can use first time tips and local eats suggestions!! Cant wait to try all the tacos. Lastly, I need to find a place that does rapid testing so we can get tested before heading back to the US! I am in Austin, TX and we currently have a once in a lifetime snow storm. So I am soooooo ready for beach and sun!

Laura, you do great videos on the Baja, which I love, especially Mulege and Bahia Conception. Your narration is absolutely the best. Your Spanish names pronunciation is refreshing. I cringe at some of the slaughtered pronunciations on videos of others. Thank You!

We have been going to Cabo since the 90's and like elsewhere have watched it grow. Have a time share (Las Cascades, medano Beach, for 20 years and LOVE it !) We are fortunate enough to live right on the beach (200-300 yds) in So. Cal and it's very much like Cabo. Have practiced Qi Gong in the "Forbidden City" paddled the Blue Grotto, and many places in between, yet still relish Cabo. We would strongly recommend eschewing the high priced all inclusive Hotels miles down the road on the corridor and stay in town. When in Rome, do as the Roman's do!

I was there last month January and had I great time sawed whales too. Try playa Tecolote is about 20 minutes from La Paz. Keep those videos coming Mexico is your home

Hermoso Cabo San Lucas y que suerte de ver tan cerca las ballenas, que envidia. Saludos

Ive only been to a few beaches in mexico. But it was beautiful cus i was enjoying the moments w my father . i miss the beach yeah . the important thing is that were safe . from covid 19

Thank you for visiting 👍

Cabo is a lot about El Squid Row in the evening. Complete debauchery. During the day, drinking all day at “The Office”. You’re on more of a civilized couple trip, but there are other types of vacations Cabo is known for. 😉 Also, lots of American guys go down with their bros for big golf trips. The courses there are incredible.

Earlier this month I went to La Paz, Cabo SL,, and San Jose del Cabo. Of the three Cabo San Lucas was my least favorite, but it was convenient there to book boat tours. There weren't so many boat tours available in LaPaz, and they were more expensive. I took an all day tour of Isla Espiritu Santo from LaPaz and it was amazing! So beautiful and I'm so glad I did. I went next to Cabo SL, had 3 boat trips reserved and all 3 were canceled because the port closed due to rough seas. In San Jose I went swimming with the Dolphins but they didn't have any boat tours but the ones that left from Cabo. San Jose was a really pretty town, and I stayed in the old center on Plaza Mijares. Quiet, peaceful, walkable, clean, and not much car traffic where i was. If I had to pick one to live in I might pick LaPaz. That water there is perfect!

Unique spot, tourists and all. 🌴

Go to the San Jose del Cabo area, quieter, more homes and condos, not so many drunks, just a bteter area, we stay there every winter, plus its close to the airport.

of course its worth the hype. best fish tacos anywhere and very nice people

So I’m going to spend my birthday week there from March 20-28 is it worth staying that long and is there enough to do for the 8 days?

I've been going to Cabo almost 20 years, besides the night life, diving at lands end. There is another mountain range below those rocks to 60 ft. Each time I've dove there I've wondered why a James Bond movie was never filmed here.

You'll always go back to Cabo!!!

Hello there thanks for your videos Baja life 👍 watching from Port Hueneme Beach CA USA

Also, if you want amazing mariscos in a locals setting go to Las Tres Islas and El Toro Guero. Muy delisioso!

Impresionante y bello!!!

The boat ride looks well worth the cost!!!

I was there last yr it was great 💘 it I was at Riu Santa fe loved it.

Love Cabo our new vacation go to spot

Personally I preferred La Paz and San Jose Del Cabo to CSL. But that was back pre covid when it was even more nuts.

Have you done a segment on the beautiful Isla Espiritu? One of Mexico's treasures

You should visit near Cabos San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo is more a Mexican Town and near there are a couple of little towns like Caduaño, Miraflores, Santiago, Cabo Pulmo National Park, the tropic of cancer Mark and Museum, Los Barriles, San Bartolo

Anyone knows a good hotel that is close to all the activities such as the boat tour to see the arch and ATVs? And clubs I am thinking of going with riu palace but I think it's far from the activities

Did you go recently? We are going in a few weeks and wonder how things are with COVID

I live an hour north, it is beautiful there,but too touristy for me. I highly recommend renting a car and exploring outside of Cabo too. Cabo Pulmo on the East Cape is beautiful, the beach where I live stretches for miles and almost no one is ever on it, even during the busy tourist season before the pandemic. And, in the whale season gray whales come super close to shore, so close you can look them in the eye, and all for free. At the same time there will be humpbacks everywhere in the backdrop! I love La Paz, visiting there now. Amazing beaches just a short drive away on the Sea of Cortez so perfect for swimming.

About 20 years ago. Now the beach lined with hotels and cruise ships.

What other places in Mexico do you recommend?

I know there are travel/flight restrictions for coming back into the US from outside and a negative covid test is needed to board the plane. Do they happen to have testing there with easy access?

Definitely worth a visit for the whales alone, amazing 😃 Looked absolutely beautiful.

We lived in San Jose del Cabo. Rarely did we go into Cabo San Lucas. Basically for Costco and that’s about it. SJC is a much nicer place to relax IMO.

Great decision to see the whales. You did it right to goes to the beach a negotiate with the locals to go out. When I was there me and my friends wanted to go fishing. Cost 20us dollars. A barging compared to the charters. Great video.

Good job

I stay for four weeks in Capo, Medano Beach. It was the many worst time on my Mexican traveling. It was overcrowding with north American tourist, it is so noisy ( l am wearing noise cancelling earphones), and all thinks are overpriced. There are legions of beachsellers, Massage Ladys and rent music with sub wofers. The weather is nice and I love Hotel Medano

I'm always pleased to see marine life that's not being fished or entangled in old fishing gear or plastic.

Golfing, fishing and partying and some nice beaches.

Great video, do you have to be concerned about bacteria from eating at the local restaurants ?

Cabo is my most favorite place on earth, been going since 1999. A little more info for you. Highway 1 goes all the way to Canada. And the whales are Humpbacks.

Thanks for the review. Never been there but I've been to PV twice. I'm not crazy about the desert look as I prefer the PV tropical feel. With that said, I doubt I'd like Cabo.

Did you have to submit a negative covid-19 test, if so how does that work?

I love Cabo

4:55 Looks like the spot where a very young Jack Nicholson played a Napoleonic officer in the horror movie, "The Terror".

How do you get your money ?

Yes Cabo is worth the hype!

Its the aquarium of the world!

CSL is a GREAT place!!!! But it's definitely not for everyone. I describe it as Vegas with an ocean. Not cheap. Open all night. Plenty of things to do. Stay in San Jose if quiet and relatively inexpensive is more your speed.

I'm looking into buying a condo down there for retirement. Would you recommend this?

per my experience, 3 days is perfect. longer it gets tiring.

Cabo has the same brand name resorts as the other beaches. Cancun is warmer. In Cabo the current is too severe to get into the water and it is cold. I recommend Cancun over Cabo.

Interesting ! Wish I could join you !

What are the beaches like ?? I heard there is only one beach that you can swim in ?? Is the water warm or cold like in California ??

I’m considering moving to Cabo. After viewing your videos, I think San Jose del Cabo would be a better fit for actually moving....your videos are very helpful. I subscribed a couple days ago.

as somone that lives in hawaii and spent half my life here im looking to move to mexico since i have family there and its way cheaper then here

I love cabo but man I got swimmers itch and a bad bug I’m itchy as hell and live in the bathroom lol

So you mentioned other parts of Mexico being more beautiful would you mind letting me know where I'm eager to visit.

How does one know boat excursion is from trustworthy company?

Are you a resident of Mexico now? If you are, tell them you live there and everything is discounted for locals.

It looks like there are no waves good for surfing. Am I right?

How is there a video about Cabo and no one mentions Van Halen? RIP Edward

Been there several times of the last 10 yrs. stay at the Tesoro. At a the marina. But be careful when you go to CaboWabo . If you dont watch them they will over charge you on drinks. Pay cash for drinks for every round. Dirty little bastards if you have a few drinks they just add drinks on your tab. But the Band is great.

Where are you?

I saw Scooby Doo Rock!

I was thinking of relocating there from Cuernavaca, but it just looks like too many schlocky t-shirt and souvenir stores and people bothering you trying to sell timeshare and boat tours. Ruins it.

Hi, I found you about a week ago and I am enjoying your vlogs. I am headed to Cabo in the end of March ( been there many times before) and we are staying at the Welks resort outside of main Cabo area, but a family that is in my group going with us, has some reservations about the COVID issue. My question is, do you see and feel that most people in Cabo are wearing mask, practicing social distancing, restaurant's doing three part as well? For me, as long as I am proactive about it, like in my hometown, I am not worried but just wanted to get a feel for Cabo as of today times Thank you

Are whale sightings in Cabo seasonal thing?

The question is, is Bror Fredrik aware of this news?
