FROM LOS CABOS : SKY TOUR OF LAND ’ S END
The southernmost tip of Mexico ’ s Baja California Peninsula — where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez — is a mustsee for anyone visiting Los Cabos . El Arco , the distinctive limestone rock formation at Land ’ s End , is a popular spot for sea lions and sailing charters alike . Spend the morning on the water soaking up the iconic views . And once you ’ ve captured the essential selfies by sea , strap on your GoPro and ascend into sky .
The area ’ s popular air tours are conducted by ultralight aircraft , a type of motorized hangglider that can accommodate two adults . You ’ ll begin with a stunning aerial view of Cabo San Lucas Bay , Médano Beach and the coastline of Mar de Cortés before crossing the Pacific Ocean to circle the formations at Land ’ s End , including Divorce Beach , Pirate ’ s Cave , Lover ’ s Beach and El Arco . From the sky , you ’ ll have a better vantage point to spot basking sea lions , playful dolphin pods , manta rays and even humpback whales .
Insider Tip : Opt for an early morning excursion when the water is still and the beaches are relatively empty . Because the tour requires minimal physical exertion , you ’ ll have plenty of time and energy for another tour or activity afterward . Check with the concierge at your resort for recommendations .
Your excursion has two flight styles : Smooth or Extreme . Choose the extreme option and you ’ ll continue to the sand dunes , diving down to glide mere feet above the ground , tracing the peaks and valleys of the sand with your professional ultralight pilot .
