The year-round sun and warmth of Los Cabos is what makes it a great place for a Los Cabos getaway no matter the time of year you come. Treat the one you call “Dad” this Father’s Day to a relaxing beach vacation with some Mexican flair thrown in. There is plenty to see and do, from year-round activities to special celebrations honoring everything he does for the family.
Unlike Mother’s Day, Father’s Day doesn’t always have a specific celebration like a traditional brunch, dinner, or other party. You still want to treat the one you call “Dad” though. There are several bars and restaurants around Los Cabos that are treating Dad to discounts, free drinks or entrees, or other specials. Let him pick the place and choose his favorite from the menu.
It’s always fun to add a new meal to the menu, especially when it comes to Dad’s favorite authentic Mexican flavors. Even if dad isn’t the cook in the family, you and hill will have a great time with a cooking class and market tour. Learn to cook with the flavors, colors, and textures of Cabo’s cuisine. Go shopping for the ingredients at a local market, then step into the kitchen of the local host chef for a hands-on lesson creating an authentic Mexican meal from scratch in a home kitchen setting so you can replicate the dish once you’re home. Book the experience online, and they’ll send you a confirmation with date, time, location, and the other information you’ll need.
The beach town of Cabo of course has plenty of sand and water and you and dad will want to spend plenty of time there. Lay out in the sun and work on your tan, have a Father’s Day picnic on the beach featuring his favorite Mexican dishes, or take a run or walk on the beach. Get in the water and swim, head out on a snorkeling or SCUBA adventure, or stay on top of the water with jet skis, kayaks, canoes, and more.
While some beach towns offer a tour down the beach on horseback, Los Cabos offers a slightly different experience for you and dad. You’ll still sit atop a four-legged animal, but that animal is a camel! Choose to depart on the typically four-hour excursion in either the morning or afternoon and wander through the Baja Desert and Cabo countryside. You’ll learn about area flora, fauna, and culture while you’re at it. The trip also includes an authentic Mexican lunch featuring tequila, tortilla-making, and more before heading back to your starting location.
Pack your sun gear, water, and camera and lace up your hiking shoes. While you and Dad may change up your exercise with a daily run or walk on the beach, there are other ways to get out and stretch your legs, too. Explore the many trails that wander away from the beach and water for a different view of the Cabo area. You’ll catch glimpses of local wildlife in its natural habitat, along with other breathtaking sights. Be courteous and share the trail, as it may be a great path for bikers and horseback riders, too.
Trade the camel or your hiking shoes for an ATV and take dad places you can’t get to with those kinds of transportation. Adventure through the Migrino Desert’s sandy terrain along a winding route to area mountains, then loop back for some adventure on the iconic beaches of Cabo. Don’t worry, the journey includes all the safety gear, off-roading equipment, and purified water to keep you hydrated. Any park entry fees and insurance for your ride are separate fees.
Along with all the beach and water fun, you won’t want to miss the iconic arch. Formed over many hundreds of years, the arch marks the spot where the Pacific Ocean officially becomes the Gulf of California. It’s not just a sight to see, there’s a nearby beach to enjoy all the beach and water activities dad is looking forward to on a Cabo vacation.
The beach resort town of Los Cabos has plenty of resort amenities, like day spas where you can relax and unwind after a Father’s Day party or adventure. Choose from the many services each offers, including mani/pedi services, facials, body wraps or scrubs, massages, and more. Spas will tailor these services to dad’s personal needs, and may even offer special add-ons like a beer or other drink of choice, or a fruit plate.
Once you’ve decided to treat dad to a trip to Los Cabos this Father’s Day, make sure your next step is booking a private vacation rental with Elegant Mexico. We have homes as large as 10 bedrooms so dad can surround himself with all his loved ones on a Los Cabos Father’s Day celebration. You and dad will enjoy the privacy of your own bedroom where you can catch a nap before more Father’s Day fun, and enjoy private outdoor spaces like patios and balconies.
