Quick Answer

Prices $40-80. Duration about 1-2 hours. Book direct for best value. Mid range operators are most reliable.

$40–$80
$40-80 per person

Cabo has no shortage of kayaking options at $40-80 per person, but the quality gap between operators is huge. These are the reliable ones.

Booking direct at the beach is fine for simple rentals, but guided tours should be reserved 2-3 days ahead during peak season (December-April).

The Sea of Cortez side offers calmer water ideal for beginners, while the Pacific side brings more waves and current for experienced riders. Medano Beach is the main hub for rentals.

Pro tip from locals: check the actual boat, not just the operator's website photos.
