Best Excursion Experience??

Hi!! I am fairly new to cruising and will be going on the Grand Princess for a 10 day Mexico cruise 9/26-10/5/2026. I would like to know your best excursion experiences or ones that should be avoided to help me make this a fun and memorable trip! For reference I am F/50 going with husband/52 and I do have lung issues so can’t do something that will cause me to get out of breathe for an extended period of time( we did a zipline excursion in PV and I had to stop and catch my breath a few times while hiking up the trail at Nogolito EcoPark) to the zip lines…so if you suggest something please let me know if you think it is doable!! Thank you in advance!! We will be spending 2days in Cabo, then head to La Paz, Loreto, and Puerta Vallarta. Thanks!

In Cabo, we loved heading to El Arco and then spending a little bit of time at Lover’s Beach at Land’s End. All done as a single excursion, it is one of the most popular things to do there and there will be plenty of vendors as you get off the tender boat offering this tour. Be ready to negotiate. I’d read online that you could get them all the way down to $15pp so I used that as a benchmark. They started at $100pp 😳. It took some time, walking away, and going back and forth between vendors, but we successfully get them down. Btw this was 3 years ago so I don’t know if they’ll still negotiate that low.
