As a person that spend 2-3 months a year in Cabo I have to respectfully disagree with your "stay away from the seafood or it may make you sick". I've never heard of anyone eating the seafood and getting sick. It is one of the best places in the world to eat fish...marlin, sea bass, octopus and shrimp. Smoked marlin taco and empanadas are some to the best in all of the Cabos. Mazatlan Marisco and Los Tres Islas are my personal favorites that can be found off the beaten path in the residential areas and they are stuffed with tourist! Usually I can get HUGE lobster stuff sea bass with shrimp, octopus, scallops for $12 AND it fresh off the boats. My last and final comment is the safety. Cabo is extremely safe for tourist as long as you use basic common sense. I often tell my wife it safer in Cabo than in Denver! I especially like your comments on money exchange your are spot on! Bravo. Like another commenter has stated, the Corridor has quiet hotels to stay in but you need to rent a car but it allows you to get out to some of the best "locals" beaches which will be empty on the weekdays. (Palmilla, Santa Maria, Chiliano and Tule) to name a few. Hope this helps people understand Cabo better. PS While in Cabo....renew your Costco membership in Cabo....its $26 dollars and works at home. No Pasa Nada and Paz :)
Great stuff man you have to go to el chino sea food in San José next time you are here lol you are a local now haha so you have to be there nice to hear stuff like this, it helps us a lot, stya safe
No bad days!
As someone who lives on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea where sea food of all kind is part of the Mediterranean diet, generally speaking what you must be careful is with “shell fish” fish is fine, but this ethos is applied all around the world.
That guy that spoke 3 languages seemed like a dope dude. Love those types of people!
My wife & I live in San Jose del Cabo during the winter months and you're 100% correct. Things typically cost less in pesos because they don't have to exchange your dollars back to pesos.
For tourists who don't have a Mexican checking account, the best place to exchange money is the Banca Mifel. It's about a 5 or 6 block walk from Senior Frogs. They exchange dollars at the exchange rate with no fees even for non-account holders.
As for safety, nothing ever happens here. The sidewalks aren't the best in downtown Cabo, so you'll see the occasional drunk tourist trip and fall. And a few times after taking visiting relatives out for a late dinner, we've seen drunk tourists who flew down together, arguing with one another.
But for the most part, that's the extent of the drama. We've been snowbirds for 8 years and have never seen any crime significant enough to make the evening news back home.
Lastly, the beaches on the Corridor & in San Jose are not nearly as touristy, so you don't have to deal with any of that "street vendor" nonsense outside of Cabo. Next time, if you stay at one of the nicer All Inclusives like Le Blanc or Grand Velez you won't experience any of that.

Goodday sir
You have the best videos best explenation and communication best scenic spots.
Thank you very much
Watch your video before coming to Cabos . And I’m watching your video Here in Cabos . Love this place it amazing. Thank you for your video Amigo
If your going to Cabo San Lucas you should stay at a ocean front resort
Good vid with some great tips and warnings on the solicitations and it starts with the gauntlet at the airport. I'll try what you said next time.
been once but via cruise ship now living in arizona wanting to fly out there and enjoy a long weekend. will see - great video.
Good information. Thank you.
The view of the boats and the marina look incredible. Tons of fancy boats and yachts behind you. Great place to start you video. Looks like a modern mall with Forever 21 behind you. You have a great camera. Back to the Marina! Good to see that the marina is a WiFi zone. Hotel on the Boardwalk. Would you, could you give a video on renting a boat and the prices in Cabo San Lucas? Watching from Los Angeles. Thank you. Steve Miller
Very helpful - thanks 😊 so much
Always better when you are holding the camera and highlighting the scenery
Just got back. Very beautiful and seemed safe. The prices have gone up and now it's the most expensive city in Mexico. You must know how to do Cabo or you will spend a fortune. Felt like everyone was just trying to get money from us. Too bad because Mexico is so beautiful.
Great info very informative and helpful video.
Cool video thanks for all your effort in putting this together
My pleasure!
@@IslandHopperTV favorite place in baja cali?
THE TOWN OF CABO SAN LUCAS IS 100% SAFE YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT if u have commen sence and are from a city like New York where you are cautious of ur surroundings to begin with you will be absolutly fine you do not need to use the hotel concierge for everything you can venture out and do ur own thing and find deals and everything with no issues
Also never had an issue using a credit card in cabo only thing is it's a little confusing because the prices are in pesos only at some restaraunts the more popular places give you both Usd and peso price on receipt but some dont so make sure you know the exhange rate so ur not getting ripped off again if you have commen sense and ur Not a sucker you will be fine just make sure you know exchange rates because some vendors will try to say it is x amount of pesos but tell you what it is in USD and it will not match up so just make sure you have as much information as you need to keep urself from getting ripped off
Excellent, very informative!
Thank you. Very helpful.
Great video!
I personally prefer the Tourist Corridor -- cheaper hotels -- you'd need to rent a car (very affordable) -- but everything is either off Highway 1 or a main drag to Todo Santos or La Paz. Eat with the locals, don't always go where the tourists eat -- you'll not only save money, but get more authentic food. Try the micheladas, yum!!!
Taco Rossy FOR SURE! Best smoked marlin tacos and micheladas. Los Claros Jr. tacos and in La Paz...the famous little place "Taco Fish"!
hi what is the name or phone number of your friend's tour company at los cabos? The instagram link appears not working.
Great info!!!!!
Great info thanks coming in june
What about Uber vs taxi? Good?
All inclusive?
Good to know 👍🏼 Thanks 😊 for the Info 🇲🇽
San Jorge casa de cambio to get pesos. Great rates, like 18.5 when the full rate is 19.7, as an example. I've been going to Cabo for 20+ years. I always rent a car and have had a great time exploring😎. Be polite. Learn some Spanish. Treat people right and they'll treat you right. The only folks I've seen get ripped off are either really drunk or really rude or both. Like don't stumble out of El Squid Roe at 3 am and expect "regular" prices🤣
It's ok as information
What’s the IG for the person who speaks multiple languages?
You’re the big beer drinker I saw you in panama
I’m trying to go on August and I been watching videos on what to do or what beaches I can go! I’m so excited I’m going to stay there for about a week lol have you been to Playa del Carmen? If so which one do you consider is cheaper?
Playa del Carmen is probably more. But it is the best ever.
whats the best adults only all inclusive in cabo
Best snorkel spot off shore? Whale season all of March?
The usually go down to Chileno Beach
@@IslandHopperTV spot on! Yep my favorite too! and my daughter and I shore dive there a lot too! At the end of the reef at Chileno is a little white tip shark thats sleeping during the day, but he wont mess with you.....hes friendly :) Also Check out Santa Maria on the right side of the bay you can find spiny lobsters!
Thanks for the information 👍👍. Please recommend me a hotel that's not too expensive so I can take my teenagers 🙏
nice
how about los Cecitros beach?
Was the water warm in the pool beaches etc? I heard the beaches are closed due to undercurrent. How was the COVID situation
In the last week of June 2021 my friend was rolled up on by 4 guys with guns in street clothes claiming to be police and they extorted him for all the cash he had on him. No badges or markings on the truck. Sounds "pretty safe" to me.
Omg that’s awful, we are planning for 5/2022
I just got back from Cabo, I felts safe besides every other guy asking if I want to buy drugs
Acapulco it's crappy....it's not what once was...
@@sandranovella9524 for reals. They even get mad when you ignore them
Omg. You're absolutely right, they bug you left and right and front and back. I just say no gracias like 10 times.
Are there any swimmable beaches you recommend?
Be very careful on the beach. Cabos is well known for rogue waves coming in and sweeping people back into the Ocean.
i really want to try that sushi place and experience some great tacos! can you rent the RVs and drive on the beach like in WALLSTREET?
Do you need a covid-19 test?
No
Yes if you are returning to the U.S you will need one on your way back
No
70 degrees with a breeze in the water is not so nice
The water is warm
Best way to handle street vendors is to keep it moving. They're hustling so don't worry about hurting anyone's feelings by not acknowledging them. Just smile and move on
I ignored them and most of them were giving us attitude. I prefer Cancun over Cabo San Lucas
What’s that guys Instagram for Dock 0 thanks bud 🥃
Street vendors....where a T-shirt that says no thank you in English and Spanish.
Where is that t-shirt?
Dave Dowling LoL. you could get one printed up. I don’t have one but I’m tempted to. Street vendors can be a real bother can’t they? I find them comical to a point but the they do get really bothersome. Roatan is bad and I found Dominican Republic terrible.
My answer is always, gracias no .
Don’t trust this post or all the positive comments. I made a comment with several corrections and criticisms, and it got removed almost immediately. The guy in the video doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
amazing video is there a good transfer service from cabo airport to your hotel in cabo san lucas you recommend ??
