Private tour Cabo San Lucas: four ways to have the boat or car to yourselves
A private tour of Cabo San Lucas mostly means a boat, because the Arch and Land's End are best seen from the water. You board at a marina dock and the whole vessel is yours: no strangers at the rail, and the crew works to your group. Ashore, the options are a guided day trip to Todos Santos and a private car from Los Cabos airport.
All prices are starting prices from November 2026. Private offers are charged per group, so the figures below divide the total by the size of your party.

Compare a private boat to the Arch, a fishing cruiser, a guided Todos Santos trip and a private airport transfer.
A private boat to the Arch and Land's End
The private ocean safari leaves from O Dock 2 and runs for two hours in a glass-bottom boat. It goes to the Arch and along Land's End, with life jackets and water on board. If conditions allow, the boat can drop you at a beach and pick you up again at no extra cost, which suits a couple who want an hour of sand without a group's schedule.
It costs 193 USD for up to four people. Two pay 96.50 USD each and four pay 48.25 USD each. Families and four friends get the most from it.
A private fishing trip on a 36-foot cruiser
The five-hour fishing trip starts at E Dock in the marina. The crew speaks English and the price includes gear, outriggers and life jackets. Fishing licences are not included, and each adult needs their own.
The price is 1,087 USD for the boat, with room for eight. Four anglers pay 271.75 USD each, six pay 181.17 USD each and a full boat pays 135.88 USD each.
A guided private trip to Todos Santos
Todos Santos lies 76.4 km from Cabo San Lucas and has been a Pueblo Mágico since 2006. The five-hour private trip includes pickup, a certified guide, round-trip transport and water. Meals and tips are extra.
The group price is 345 USD for up to ten people. Two pay 172.50 USD each, five pay 69 USD each and ten pay 34.50 USD each.
A private car from Los Cabos airport
Los Cabos airport lies near San José del Cabo, and the drive to Cabo San Lucas takes about 45 minutes. The private one-way transfer is air-conditioned, includes water and a driver, and covers up to ten people for 106 USD. Two pay 53 USD each, four pay 26.50 USD each and ten pay 10.60 USD each. For a large family, one vehicle replaces several taxis.
Private or small group: when sharing is better
The shared Todos Santos tour takes six hours and costs 83 USD per person, with lunch only if you choose that option. For four people that is 332 USD, against 345 USD for the private trip, so sharing is cheaper at four. From five people the private trip wins: 345 USD against 415 USD.
If whales are the goal, the small-group whale watching tour of two and a half hours costs 111 USD per person and is the better fit, rated 4.7 from 65 reviews. Four people pay 444 USD there, against 193 USD for the private safari, which is a different outing built around the Arch. For a couple, the shared round-trip van from the airport costs 65 USD per person, so 130 USD for two.
