Hiking with Rescue Dogs in Los Cabos

Expect a steep, rocky trail up a small mountain with panoramic views over Cabo San Lucas and the Sea of Cortez. You'll be joined by a pack of friendly rescue dogs that roam freely, stop for pets, and sometimes lead the way. The hike is moderately difficult — think 45–75 minutes uphill with loose rocks and sun exposure. It's genuinely fun if you like dogs, but it's physical. You'll finish sweaty, dusty, and probably covered in happy dog hair. Water, good hiking shoes or sturdy sneakers, and sun protection are non-negotiable.

Best time is December through April when temperatures are pleasant and the trail isn't brutally hot. Summer and early fall are brutally hot and humid; skip them unless you love suffering. Expect to pay around $65–$95 per person including transport from your hotel, water, and a basic snack. Private tours run higher.

Pick the standard small-group morning hike — it's the sweet spot. Skip the add-on “VIP” or sunset versions unless you specifically want fewer people and are willing to pay double; the dogs and views are the same. Bring your own treats if you want to be popular with the pack.
