Cabo San Lucas is a Great Destination for Adventure Seekers, too!
If the idea of lying by the beach reading book bores you to death, then Wide Open Excursions has the perfect Cabo activity for you. There are many different things to do and see in Cabo San Lucas. Instead of being stuck riding in a tour car moving at a snail’s pace, what do you think of driving through Cabo San Lucas wilderness in a Baja Challenge Car?
Wide Open Excursions guides Cabo San Lucas tours in a way very unlike the typical tour. Using radio communication, drivers will receive communication regarding the path and possible terrain issues but besides that, the pace is your own in a Baja challenge car that is capable of speeds up to 80 miles per hour.
The trail is marked to note memorable driving experiences and give warning of difficult or deceiving turns. The guides provide drivers with enough warning so that you can experience the trail at the speed you are comfortable with.
There are several different tour packages to choose from that range from a third-of-a-day to four whole days covering over 120 miles per day. Each package includes:
- Driving a $100k Baja Challenge Race Car
- Transportation to and from off-road course
- Orientation and Professional Safety Equipment
- Professional Guides and Support Crew
The tour leaves from the Wide Open Cabo Race Shop and heads towards the arroyo of Salto Seco then over to the small local village of Los Pozos where you will drive a short technical section of a local race course. The tour also passes by Los Paredones where they filmed parts of the movie “Troy”. You will be rewarded at the end of your tour with an ice cold beer at the “Hacienda Off Road” bar and patio.
Wide Open provides a different way to explore Cabo San Lucas. Drivers can experience the area in a way that often only the locals get the chance. Slow and steady tours of the wilderness and wildlife are fine for some. Wide Open tours are for those who seek a little adventure in their vacations. Wide Open Excursions provides just that, a Cabo San Lucas Adventure!

Bisbee’s Black and Blue Marlin Tournament Brings in Big Fish and Pays Big Bucks
Fishing fanatics don’t want to miss the 2012 Bisbee’s Los Cabo Offshore Tournament. Los Cabos Offshore Tournament runs October 19 to October 21, and the Black and Blue Marlin Tournament is held October 23 through October 27.
The tournament, started in 1981 by Bob Bisbee has grown from six teams with $10,000 in prizes up for grabs to over 150 teams and millions of dollars on the line. Every October, teams come from all over to compete for the big prize.
The Los Cabos Offshore Tournament is often thought of as the “Little Bisbee’s”. It is usually more laid-back and is very social. The event is usually full of camaraderie where friends meet, swap stories and get in some fishing before the “Big Show” that is the Black and Blue Marlin Tournament.
The Big Show begins with a bang. The Baja Brewing Company at Cabo Villas Beach Resort promotes the Shot Gun Start of the Bisbee Fishing tournament. Every morning, hundreds of boats participating in the tournament line up in the bay of Cabo and wait for the flair to go off at 8 a.m.. The shotgun start tells all the boats that the daily fishing hours have officially begun.
The Baja Brewing Company is located on the rooftop of the resort and overlooks the bay of Cabo. It is considered the absolute best spot to watch the shot gun start. Hundreds of interested tourists come to the restaurant to enjoy breakfast and watch the hundreds of boats take off for the day. IT is really an amazing site.
The restaurant will have breakfast specials and raffle off prizes to celebrate the tournament beginning at 8 a.m. on October 24-26. Fisherman and fans will have a once in a lifetime experience at the Bisbee Fishing Tournament. It is truly an event you don’t want to miss.
