Truly find peace on your tropical vacation in La Paz on the Gulf of California. La Paz is Spanish for “peace” and is located on Mexico’s Baja California Sur. It is the largest city in the state and is the cultural and legislative capital.
Hernan Cortez and his ships of Spanish conquistadors landed on La Paz’s shores in the 1530s on an expedition for jewels, spices, and new land for Spain. They made contact on the shores with the Guaycura, the indigenous people of the La Paz area.
The Guaycura decorated their homes and ceremonial items with large pearls and wore intricate pearl jewelry. This was exactly what the Spanish were looking for, and they began invasions on the Guaycura. For about 50 years, control of La Paz’s shores bounced between warring factions until the Spanish succeeded in over-consuming the oysters to the point of near extinction.
The Spanish had won control of Baja California Sur, but La Paz didn’t become a major city until 1829 when it became the state capital. Major industries included agriculture, mining, fishing, and pearl farming after the return of oyster populations.
La Paz is known today for its glorious sunsets, bright turquoise waters, and of course, pearls. It has all the beachfront promenades and resort-style amenities of a typical Mexican vacation town, but with all the convenience of a major city. The Bay of La Paz has white sand beaches and is a short distance from tropical islands. The perfect vacation destination!
Elevate your travel day from good to great: these travel tips will keep you connected and comfortable during your Los Cabos Airport to La Paz transfer!
In today’s connected world, being even a few hours without the internet can feel like an eternity. Although the Los Cabos Airport has free wifi, anything can happen. Ask your phone service provider before your trip about their pricing and options for foreign travel. Sometimes, purchasing a temporary SIM card at the airport is cheaper than what your provider offers.
When you book a Daytrip airport transfer, your driver will have a sign at the arrivals gate with your name on it. This means one less thing to worry about when the plane lands if you don’t have immediate internet access. Travel made easy!
Sometimes the difference between having a good and bad travel day is your outfit. Pack a second, comfortable outfit in your carry-on to change clothes in case something spills on you during the flight or you realize you hate wearing jeans while sitting on a plane for hours.
No one wants to start scrambling for a taxi or bus after a long flight, especially for a 2.5-hour trip to another city. For your transfer from Los Cabos Airport to La Paz, book your transportation ahead of time and decide if you want a private car or shuttle bus.
A private driver will meet you at the airport arrivals gate and provide door-to-door service to your hotel in La Paz. This option is the fastest and perfect for families. Travel in privacy without having to wait for other passengers. Daytrip drivers are local and English-speaking, can accommodate pets, provide children’s car seats, and transport handicapped individuals. Prices start at $51 per passenger.
Your shuttle bus experience will depend on many factors: the size of the shuttle bus, the number of drop-offs, and the waiting time at the airport. Shuttle bus operators wait until the bus is full before departing, so you may be waiting around at the airport until your bus is at capacity.
Once you arrive in La Paz, your shuttle bus will most likely drop everyone off at a central point, after which you will need to find transportation to your hotel. Some shuttle buses will take you straight to your hotel, but then you are waiting for other passengers to get dropped off first at their hotels.
Carefully read the terms for your shuttle bus before booking to ensure you are fully informed for the day of your transfer. Prices depend on the company and range from $40 to $100 per seat.
First things first: you’ll need to unpack your bags and get settled after your transfer from Los Cabos Airport to La Paz. Once you’re ready to get out in nature, sunscreen and water are a must. La Paz is the ideal destination for nature lovers: snorkel with unique marine life, take a boat to secluded islands, or explore caves on hiking trails. With so many great options, the hardest question will be: what’s next?
Espiritu Santo National Park is a pristine UNESCO World Heritage site and home to over 900 plants and animals, including some on the endangered species list. The caves and rugged cliffs on the shore are the natural habitats for sea lions, corals, fish, and crustaceans.
It is not far from La Paz’s shores. Boat tours typically last five to six hours, where you can snorkel in some of the most diverse waters in the world and even swim with sea lions.
Balandra Beach is an environmentally protected shoreline most known for its mushroom-shaped boulder and clear blue water. To preserve the delicate ecosystem, only 450 are allowed on the beach each day. In order to visit, you must choose from two time slots: in the morning from 8 AM to 12 PM or in the afternoon from 1 PM to 5 PM.
In order to make the cutoff, arrive at the beach 30 minutes before your time slot. You cannot register ahead of time, so you’ll be in a line of cars at the gate until they reach the daily quota.
For unbeatable views of the sunset as far as the eye can see, you may have to work for it! Cerra de la Calavera (“Skull Hill”) is a trail with arches, caves, and natural rock formations along the edges of the cliffs that have been carved out by the wind, sand, and water over time. Its ominous name comes from the rocks’ resemblance to the eye sockets and nasal passages in skulls.
The dry season! The tropics have two seasons: dry and rainy. During the dry season (November through April), the weather is the best: warm but not oppressively humid. Long days and plenty of sunshine are perfect for basking on the beach, snorkeling, sailing, and taking hikes.
The rainy season is a much different story. From May to October, La Paz experiences heavy rainfall and strong winds. These storms are important for maintaining La Paz’s beautiful tropical environment; however, flights and excursions may be canceled or delayed due to dangerous weather conditions.

“I was unsure about this company but a few good reviews on Trip Advisor made me take the chance. I am so happy that we did. We needed a ride from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. Our driver Saksun was an excellent driver - it's not a long distance to drive (by Texas standards!) but the road is challenging and there are a lot of places where improvements to the road are being made. It took around 3 hours with a stop at a place with very clean bathrooms, very interesting hot springs and a place to get a snack and cold drinks. Saksun had a vehicle that was fantastic for this type of drive - a very comfortable ride indeed and was obviously well maintained and very clean. I highly recommend this company. I used to post on trip advisor as "lakekariba" but got out of the habit of doing so. This company was so easy to use and the result was so enjoyable that I felt that the company Daytrip and the driver Saksun had earned our trust and a glowing review.

Dec 4, 2024“We used Daytrip to travel between Budapest and Vienna with a 2 hour stop for lunch in Bratislava. Our driver Zsombor arrived on time at our hotel in Budapest and was very friendly and informative throughout our trip. His vehicle was roomy and clean and he was kind enough to provide us with some bottled water for the trip. Our quick visit stop in Bratislava was very nice as well. He gave us plenty of time to explore the city and have lunch before meeting him again when it was time to head for Vienna. Daytrip provided us with a happy and trouble free transfer between Budapest and Vienna. Many thanks to your team and especially to your driver Zsombor!”

Never used Daytrip before but the reviews were incredible so we took the chance and booked a driver at like 11-12pm and by 7am the next morning when we woke, they found us a driver and the driver had already texed us making contact! Very impressed and will definitely use them again. We went from Dubrovnik, Croatia to Tivat, Montenegro.”

He arrived in an appropriate vehicle and loaded and unloaded all of it. We are very happy with out decision to book with Daytrip.”
