Exploring Los Cabos: Where Desert Meets the Sea in Baja California
Issue #36-23 features a quick look at our family travel itinerary for Los Cabos, Mexico
Just Got Back: Los Cabos Family Travel Itinerary
In this series titled, "Just Got Back", I go over a quick trip itinerary report for our Labor Day trip to Los Cabos that some of you may find interesting and useful, as I always try to optimize our family travel itineraries and maximize value in the form of cost savings, time savings or other value I can find.
This trip was planned kind of at the last minute, as we shifted our original plans of visiting Maui in mid-August due to the devastating fires on the West side of the island.
The trip itinerary below gives you a quick glimpse on where we stayed, how we got to Los Cabos, some of the highlights of activities we did in each city, where we ate and some of our top recommendations on things to consider adding for your next trip here.
Los Cabos
Situated at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, Los Cabos is a destination that offers something for everyone whether you're seeking relaxation on pristine beaches, thrilling water sports adventures, or a taste of authentic Mexican culture, this enchanting destination has it all.
The Los Cabos region encompasses the cities of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, as well as the Tourist Corridor that connects the two cities.
Our trip started with a direct non-stop flight from Sacramento (SMF) to Los Cabos (SJD) on Southwest Airlines and private transportation to/from the airport that we booked through the hotel. We used our Southwest travel credit from our cancelled Maui flight for this flight. Since this route is seasonal, there wasn’t a non-stop return flight, so we flew back using JetBlue miles from Los Cabos (SJD) to Los Angeles (LAX) and then back to Sacramento after staying in Los Angeles for a night.
For this five night trip, we stayed at Solaz, a Luxury Collection Resort, Los Cabos, which is located approximately halfway between both cities. The resort is stunning and boasts amazing restaurants. From the moment we arrived, we felt transported into a realm of elegance, comfort, and unparalleled beauty.
We spent most of our vacation just relaxing at the resort, but did book a private boat tour with Papillon Yachts that included private transportation to/from our hotel to the marina in Cabo San Lucas, food and unlimited bar, water activity gear and a relaxing tour of the Sea of Cortez and Arch of Cabo.
In the coming weeks, as I get back up to speed from vacation mode, I plan on adding reviews of our experiences of the hotel and boat tour over at The Family Travel Guy.
In the mean time, you can find content in the form of Instagram Reels for Los Cabos that include some of the highlights of our trip.

If you made it this far, you likely noticed I sent this week’s Family Travel Bulletin out late and missed the typical Friday date due to a stomach bug our daughter picked up from the airport food in Los Cabos on the way home and then a busy weekend of soccer games for both of the kiddos.
