The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive Early

Plan to be at the meeting point 30–60 minutes early for check-in, gear fitting and a safety briefing.

Footwear and Clothing

Wear closed-toe shoes with good tread and light, sun-protective clothing to prevent chafing in the harness.

Know the Limits

Confirm weight limits and medical restrictions before booking—ziplines max 265 lbs; rappel and swing limits differ.

Hydrate and Protect

Bring a small water bottle, sunscreen and sunglasses; desert heat and wind can dehydrate quickly.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Walk a short trail to a nearby overlook used by guides for birdwatching—good for shorebird sightings.
  • Ask guides about local agave varieties during the tequila tasting to learn how regional soils affect flavor.

Wildlife

  • Brown pelicans
  • Cactus wren

Conservation Note

Operators emphasize stick-to-path rules and provide lockers to limit lost gear; visitors are asked to take all trash back to town to protect fragile desert and coastal habitats.

The Cabo coastline is shaped by tectonic uplift and erosion; local rancheros and fishermen historically used these arroyo corridors to move between inland wells and the sea.
