How do I get from the airport to my hotel?
We strongly advise that you do not land without making prior arrangements, as local cabs are not always consistent and reliable FROM the airport only. We will provide names and numbers to family trusted car services that will be under the "Travel" section.
We recommend sharing a car service, if possible, with other wedding guests. Average cost is between $80-$100 USD.
You can't call an Uber from Cabo Airport because Uber is not permitted to pick up passengers directly at the airport due to local regulations; the taxi union in Los Cabos is very strong and actively prevents Uber from operating at the airport, meaning you would need to walk outside the airport grounds to hail an Uber on the main highway to use the service. We whole heartedly urge you to not take this option.

Cabo is generally sunny and warm year-round. The average temperature ranges from 75°F to 95°F (24°C to 35°C). Expect dry heat, but always check the forecast ahead of time.
What should I wear to the wedding?
Destination weddings in Cabo are often more casual. Dress comfortably nice for a beach wedding. Think colors of the setting such as: ocean, sand, sunset colors, light, breathable fabrics like linen are recommended for outdoor events due to the heat, and if you're wearing heels, think about the sand and pool areas.
And don’t forget a hat and sunscreen for any daytime events!
Will I need pesos, or can I use U.S. dollars?
U.S. dollars are widely accepted in Cabo San Lucas, but you may receive change in pesos. It’s helpful to carry small bills for tipping or small purchases, and having some pesos can be convenient. ATMs and currency exchange services are readily available.
Pro Tip: Try to go to a local bank to exchange USD for pesos instead of trying a hotel ATM! ;-)
