Creator's Key Takeaways
Critical critical in Cabo is that it is a tendering port. There is no pure available or dock big enough for cruise ships.
We prefer to do these things on our own just because it's, you know, so much nicer to take your own time, stop where you want to stop, eat where you want to eat.
Completely worth it. Um, our friends told us to make a reservation cuz we were there overnight.
It was a lovely town. I'd heard about Cabo for so long... So we had a great day and we know you will too.
