What you get

    About this experience

    The Santiago region is home to one of the most remarkable natural contrasts in Baja California Sur. Water flowing from the Sierra de la Laguna supports freshwater pools, streams, and canyon ecosystems that thrive within an otherwise arid landscape. Over thousands of years, this water has shaped the rock formations and natural pools found at Sol de Mayo. The area provides a rare opportunity to experience an oasis environment while learning about the geological and ecological processes that make it possible. Combined with hiking, swimming, and local culture, the experience reveals a side of Baja California Sur many visitors never expect to find.

Gave us a lot of information - very knowledgeable. Brought loads of water for the hike and even shade! Fun hike and swim in the pool! Good lunch at a restaurant near trail head.

    Magical Guided Hike in Fox Canyon

    This experience was absolutely magical! Or tour guide, Sol, was so knowledgeable and kind. We were able to hike a bit past the first waterfall and find a secluded swimming hole! The water felt amazingly refreshing to swim in. I couldn't recommend this experience or Sol more, we had an absolute blast!!

    Response from the operator: Hi there, Thank you so much for your incredible review! We're delighted to hear your Fox Canyon adventure was such a magical experience. Sol Rodriguez will be so happy to hear your kind words. She loves sharing the hidden beauty of Baja California Sur, and it's wonderful to know her knowledge and warm personality helped make your day so special. One of the things that makes this hike unique is discovering peaceful spots beyond the main trail, and we're thrilled you had the opportunity to enjoy a secluded natural swimming hole. There’s nothing quite like cooling off in those crystal-clear waters after a scenic hike through the canyon. Thank you for your recommendation of both the experience and Sol. It truly means the world to our team. We hope to welcome you back to High Tide Los Cabos for another unforgettable adventure—perhaps our Baja Jeep Adventure or Cabo Pulmo Jeep Tour to explore even more of the spectacular landscapes that make Baja California Sur so unique.

    Los Cabos: Hiking at the Fox Canyon with Waterfall: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Cabos.

    How much does Los Cabos: Hiking at the Fox Canyon with Waterfall cost?

    +

    Prices start at $165 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Los Cabos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Los Cabos: Hiking at the Fox Canyon with Waterfall take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Los Cabos is not rushed.

    Is Los Cabos: Hiking at the Fox Canyon with Waterfall worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 407 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Los Cabos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Los Cabos: Hiking at the Fox Canyon with Waterfall?

    +

    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 Los Cabos: Hiking at the Fox Canyon with Waterfall suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Los Cabos: Hiking at the Fox Canyon with Waterfall?

    +

    Around 142 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 Los Cabos 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 Los Cabos and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Los Cabos: Hiking at the Fox Canyon with Waterfall 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 Los Cabos 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 Los Cabos?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Los Cabos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ziplining and UTV Desert Adventure from Los Cabos, Cabo 4x4 ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch, Cabo Beach Camel Ride, Mexican Buffet and Tequila Tasting. 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 Los Cabos?

    +

    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 Los Cabos?

    +

    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.
