Quick Answer

SJD airport is 30 min from Cabo San Lucas. Shuttle $20-40/person, taxi $60-80, Uber $35-50.

$20–$80

$20-80

Airport is a Cabo staple at $20-80. Most visitors enjoy it, but the operator you pick makes all the difference.

Water taxis from Medano Beach to Lover's Beach and the Arch cost $15-20 round trip. Glass-bottom boats are $20-30 and add a sea lion viewing stop.

Renting a car makes sense if you're exploring beyond town — Todos Santos, East Cape, and San Jose del Cabo are all great day trips. Expect $30-60/day for a basic rental.

Pro tip from locals: weekdays are dramatically less crowded than weekends.
