If your family is the same, don’t feel pressured to book too many things to do away from the hotel. Especially if you’re staying at an all-inclusive resort. Many of those have tons of organized activities that the whole family will enjoy.

Below, you will find my favorite things to do in Cabo for families. Some of the age requirements vary depending on the outing, but there’s plenty to choose from no matter what ages your children are.

Thanks for reading my post. My name is Jaime and I am a mom to three busy children. When we're not at the soccer and football fields, we try to get away as often as possible. I'm a teacher and my husband is a firefighter, so we mostly get away for long weekends or over the school breaks. I hope to inspire busy families to take time to recoup and relax while making memories on camping trips or cruise ships, or at the fancy resort pool--we love it all!
