Whether you are thinking of taking a vacation in Cabo San Lucas or you are already on the way, it will be extremely beneficial to know what not to do in Cabo San Lucas, so you ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay without any worries. Although everything does not always turn out as planned, you can save a lot of trouble and money and find other ways to have fun and relax.
Cabo San Lucas is an exclusive place to vacation, but if you want to enjoy your stay to the fullest, we will explore 5 points of what not to do in Cabo San Lucas both at the time of arrival and during your stay.
- Don’t hire transportation or other services inside the airport
- Don’t waste your time and money with car rentals, Taxis or transportation Apps
- Don’t reserve your flights at the last minute
- Don’t swim in restricted beach zones
- Don’t choose just any season for your trip.
1) Don't hire private transportation or other services inside the airport
Cabo airport is not located in the central area of Cabo San Lucas. It is located in San Jose del Cabo, approximately one hour away, so you must take ground transportation to get to the tourist and resort area. Hence, it is better to use dedicated Los Cabos airport transportation services.
On the other hand, If you are traveling for the first time, keep in mind that there are street vendors disguised as tourists who try to sell their shared transport services, but in the end, it turns out to be more expensive than if you had hired a package, keep this in mind and remain alert.
A popular option is to pay for a private shuttle service, which we will discuss below, or use the transfer services you have contracted with your vacation package.
2) Don't waste your time and money with car rentals, Taxis or transportation Apps
In some cases, renting a car seems practical. However, most travelers do not feel so comfortable or safe moving alone or venturing into driving into a new country they do not know, which has very different traffic laws. Therefore, it is best to hire or pay for a service that does that for you but that, above all, keeps everything within your budget and allows you to get more out of your stay. Thus, you can spend more time relaxing or on your favorite recreational activities.
One significant disadvantage of using Apps like Uber may not be allowed to enter the airport area. Thus, it’s practically impossible to walk to the nearest road in town with your luggage to take an Uber. Some taxis are allowed inside the premises. Yet, they can be very costly and their cars are not well equipped and maintained.
If you want a private and comfortable Cabo shuttle service, Cabo VIP the One can offer you first-class ground transportation.

3) Don't reserve your flights at the last minute
All planned trips go better, especially when you choose the right flights. Usually, the largest sale of airline tickets is in the holiday season, and prices tend to rise considerably due to high demand. So don’t plan your departure at the last minute. The ideal option is to buy your tickets at least two months before departure.
Buying plane tickets months in advance can also be beneficial. Buy them late at night or in the early morning when visitor and buyer traffic has dropped, and the last tickets must be cheaper. Airlines may even offer special packages or auction their previous tickets.
4) Don't swim on the Pacific side or in restricted beach zones
Hotels and beaches go hand in hand in Cabo. It would be best if you keep in mind that the shores in this beautiful place are extraordinary but have various characteristics.
There are hotels close to the beaches or next to them, which do not allow guests to swim because it’s the open sea, and there are points on the seafloor where suddenly and drastically the depth changes. So don’t swim on a beach if you aren’t sure about the restrictions. It is better to be certain by anticipating local regulations.
An excellent option is to find accommodation in Cabo with a beach you can swim in. Most travel agencies offer a list of resorts that will help you choose one that best suits your tastes and needs. Then you can find out about the tourist sites and other places of interest in your accommodation area.

5) Don't choose just any season for your trip
When deciding when to travel to Los Cabos, you must consider its varied climate as in other non-tropical places. In the winter season, the temperature change is notorious. Although it is in the south, its coast type is cold due to the area’s kind of rock and varied minerals. One of these is basalt, a kind of rock that predominates in The Giant’s Causeway, Ireland, and is what often contributes to the water remaining a little colder in certain areas.
So if you are looking for warm summer temperatures, the best thing you can do is travel during these months: March, April, May, and June. According to locals and other recurring tourists, these months maintain the warm holiday climate you have been looking for to enjoy your perfect vacation. But, if you like more refreshing weather, this place can offer you an unforgettable experience in the rest of the months, especially in October and November.
