Flights
Arrivals
Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) OR
La Paz International Airport (LAP).
Cabo:
Arriving no later than mid-day or early afternoon of the first day is good. We'll rent cars and carpool up the coast about 2 hours to the marina. It's nice to arrive at the marina in time by dinner time. We'll get access to the boat around 5pm and settle in.
La Paz:
The airport is small and pricier than Cabo, but it's close and convenient to the Marina. Just catch a cab from the airport to the marina. Arriving late afternoon is fine.
- Our first night will involve dinner at a restaurant and sleeping on the boat at the dock.
- We will not cast off until the next morning, so don't worry if you're delayed or arrive a little late.
