Thumbs down
The van used for this long day had NO a/c and there were 14 of us in the van. People were packed like sardines. Also, there was a cooler with water but NO ICE the water was hot. By the time we had one last stop to todos santos city we just couldn’t take it anymore, no A/c, no cold water, packed like sardines, and also it was HOT outside. We waited an 1hr at an Oxxo to be picked up by another van just to go back to the resort. Overall terrible tour experience.

La Paz / Balandra Tour
We had went on the tour with Kafaya to La Paz, Balandra, and Todos Santos and the adventure was the most authentic and amazing thing I’ve seen in a while. Kafaya was a great tour guide, super charismastic, and made the tour feel as if we were on a mobile adventure. Definitely recommend if you have a full day to spare.
Response from the operator: thank you very much

Exploring Baja was fun and we felt welcomed and safe…
This was a great way to see La Paz and Todos Santos for the first time. Our tour guide Bernardo was very friendly and made us feel welcome. Some of the stops were a little short on time but we still were able to see the main attractions. If you like the beach Balandra does not disappoint. We highly recommend 😀
Response from the operator: We greatly apreciate youre comments thank you very much

10/10 Would do this again!
Although a very long day, with Kafaya as my tour guide, he made the trip fun & interesting. He translates into English and helped to make our mixed language and broad age group feel very cohesive. I felt very welcome as an English-speaking solo female traveler. I am experienced in solo international travel, but I would also feel safe having my 20-year-old daughter go on this tour on her own with Kafaya as her tour leader. The water is so crystal clear here, I was blown away. I could see fish, crabs and rocks clearly without goggles in the shallower areas of Bandaras. I heard the warning about the rays in advance and how sliding your feet in the sand will scare them away before you get jabbed, but I missed the warning about the jelly fish. Nothing too bad, but I felt a little sting for a few hours (bee stings have hurt worse), but I never actually saw the jelly fish that got me. It may be wise to bring something with you in the event that happens as I saw some parents panicking on the beach when their little one got stung and they didn’t know what to do to help her. The second beach we visited was fabulous too. I actually spent time swimming on the left side of the pier, since it was less crowded than the right side. The beach has free showers and changing rooms as well. In La Paz, after a quick mission stop for photos, we got to see how pearls are made in a fine jewelry store on our next stop. We the. got to take photos in the area, grab snacks or shop for a little bit before heading to lunch. The restaurant we went to for lunch has fantastic ceviche, but wow! it was a LOT of ceviche, I am a healthy eater and I could not manage to finish it all. Another traveler let me sample his baked fish and vegetable dish and it was really good too as was the hibiscus tea. We were also grateful for the massive fan they have set up to keep the restaurant cool for us. We then made our last stop in Todos Santos where we got to see the Hotel California and another mission. In all three locations I was able to find the big colorful letters and take photos. Plenty of opportunities to buy souvenirs on this trip too. Kafaya was kind enough to pull over on the drive home so we could take photos of the stunning sunset over the water. I had such a fantastic time and would recommend this trip to friends and family. I would even do it again!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Balandra Beach & City Tour La Paz & Todo Santos hotel California: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cabo San Lucas.
How much does Balandra Beach & City Tour La Paz & Todo Santos hotel California cost?
+
Prices start at $77 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cabo San Lucas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Balandra Beach & City Tour La Paz & Todo Santos hotel California take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cabo San Lucas is not rushed.
Is Balandra Beach & City Tour La Paz & Todo Santos hotel California worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 120 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cabo San Lucas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Balandra Beach & City Tour La Paz & Todo Santos hotel California?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Balandra Beach & City Tour La Paz & Todo Santos hotel California suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 11-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Balandra Beach & City Tour La Paz & Todo Santos hotel California?
+
Around 42 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cabo San Lucas can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cabo San Lucas and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Balandra Beach & City Tour La Paz & Todo Santos hotel California start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cabo San Lucas within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cabo San Lucas?
+
On Outty we rank every Cabo San Lucas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Humpback Whale Watching Tour in Cabo San Lucas, Cabo Desert Off-Road & Beach Horseback Combo and Tequila Tasting, Cabo All-Inclusive Private Beach Club with Open Bar and Buffet. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cabo San Lucas?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cabo San Lucas?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
