Day 1
Scottsdale
Our trip begins in the picturesque, desert city of Scottsdale AZ, bordered by the rugged McDowell Mountains, the vast Tonto National Forest and the scenic Salt River. Relish Arizona’s natural beauty as you fly over this striking landscape to join us at our first stop on our journey to Cabo.
We will meet at Volanti restaurant on Scottsdale Airport’s runway. Enjoy a casual yet delicious lunch and get to know your fellow adventurers before we decamp next door to Jet Aviation for our briefing session.
During this briefing, we will prepare you for this afternoons flight. We will take you through everything from entering Mexican air space & crossing the border, handling & customs and what to expect at the airport. We will also discuss our route, file our flight plans, and check the weather. Immigration and customs forms will be filed for you in advance by The Flight Academy.
Finally, we can take to the skies! We will be flying south, over the expansive Sonoran desert and leaving the USA just west of the San Luis mountains. We then fly past Hermosillo and leave mainland Mexico over Empalme. Here we swap the warm hues of Mexican soil for the rich blues of the Sea of Cortez and continue towards the Baja California Peninsula before landing in Cabo San Lucas (MMSL).
Upon arrival we will tie down our aircraft and clear customs. After clearing customs, private transport will be waiting to take us to our luxury, beach-side hotel, The Cape in Cabo San Lucas. Once settled we will head next door to the Sunset Monalisa for our first dinner in Cabo San Lucas.
Day 2 & 3
CABO San Lucas
Days 2 & 3 are yours to enjoy as you wish. Discover San Cabo on foot, adventure into San Jose’s bustling downtown, sample the finest mezcal at a tequila tasting, explore the beautiful Baja desert on an ATV or settle on the beach with a Margarita and the sand between your toes. You set the pace for the next two days; take on as much or as little as you wish.
Before dinner on our last night we will reunite for a spectacular Sunset Sailing experience. Whether you prefer to sit back and enjoy the ride or take the helm, your backdrop for this evening will be a magnificently colorful sunset against the beautiful Cabo coastline. Departing from San Lucas Marina, we will sail over the smooth waters of the Cabo shore, passing the famous Sea Lion colony before drinking in the breathtaking sunset against the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas. Don’t forget your camera - sunsets like these don’t happen every day!
Back on land, we will return to the hotel for a final, collective dinner at The Rooftop restaurant. Take in the stunning ocean view, eat & drink to your heart’s content and soak up those last Mexican rays as the sky transitions into vivid pink, purple and orange hues.
In the morning we will enjoy breakfast at the hotel before checking out and our return to Cabo San Lucas Airport for our flight back to the USA.
