$60–$150

$60-150 per person

Helicopter Tour is a Cabo staple at $60-150 per person. Most visitors enjoy it, but the operator you pick makes all the difference.

Book direct with operators when possible — hotel tour desks and aggregator sites mark up 20-40%. Ask your concierge for operator names, then book direct.

Most tours include pickup from your hotel or a central meeting point, all equipment or supplies needed, and bilingual guides. Lunch or snacks are common on half-day+ tours.

Pro tip from locals: off-season (Sept-Oct) means smaller crowds and same-day availability.
