While traveling has become possible again in the wake of the massive slowdown caused by COVID-19, it can still be concerning. Even if you make it to your destination, what if everything in that community is shut down? How can you be sure that whatever travel companies are open will take COVID precautions seriously and do what’s necessary to keep guests safe? Fortunately, many of the tour operators and activity organizers in Cabo have publicly committed to enhanced COVID-19 cleaning protocols and social distancing standards to provide their guests with peace of mind and a wonderful experience in Mexico.
Cabo Adventures
Specializing in hosting small group activities in large outdoor spaces to ensure appropriate social distancing, Cabo Adventures is well-known for its dolphin swim program, a popular excursion among visitors to Cabo. The dolphin center is Humane Conservation-certified and offers guests a chance to get up close and swim alongside the dolphins. Alternative programs include whale shark snorkeling, private sailing trips, tours of Cabo and surrounding areas by mountain bike or jet ski, zip-lining, and whale watching. In addition to social distancing measures, Cabo Adventures is committed to enhanced cleaning and sanitizing practices. Employees and guests participate in health screenings and temperature checks as well as frequent opportunities for handwashing. Cabo Adventures also offers free cancellations to support guests’ putting their health first.
Get Your Guide
This Cabo tour company hosts small groups on a variety of tours, from sailing, ATV, kayaking, snorkeling, and more. Its safety measures are as intense as their experiences. Get Your Guide meets or exceeds all applicable health guidelines for the reduction of COVID-19, whether you’ve booked a sunset dinner cruise or food tour or zip-lining for yourself and your family. Tour guide leaders keep their groups small and work in ample opportunities for handwashing. Programs are planned outdoors, personal protection equipment or PPE is issued to staff and guests where appropriate, and staff also help with assisted buffet service during programs where meals or light snacks are included. Along with a generous cancellation policy to accommodate unexpected illness, the folks at Get Your Guide are happy to work with guests to rebook or refund your plans. Because they have a global network of contacts, they’re constantly communicating best practices and safety guidelines with colleagues to ensure everyone has a great–and healthy–experience.
Amazing Adventures
At Amazing Adventures (Pez Gato), not only are they following established guidelines for the health and safety of guests and employees but they’re working toward an advanced cleanliness certification as an added assurance for their clients. The Punto Limpio (Clean Area) certification is granted by the SETUES (Ministry of Tourism, Economy, and Sustainability) to only those businesses that meet certain sanitizing and hygiene standards. Book the wine and boat tour on the sailboat Tropicat for two hours of relaxing jazz while enjoying light fare and drinks under the setting sun. You’ll sail past Land’s End and Lover’s Beach before following the sunset for breathtaking views. Drinks include a selection of wines, beers, and top-shelf liquor. Because of COVID-19, snacks and appetizers are served assisted-buffet style. It’s the best way to see Cabo from the sea and watch the sunset at the same time.
As the world reopens to tourism, booking with the right travel company can go a long way in reducing concerns about COVID-19. Fortunately, these tour operators in Cabo are taking meaningful steps to ensure not only the safety and good health of their guests and staff but also providing the same enjoyable and exciting experiences you’d expect from a Mexican vacation.
