Baja Pass vs. Cabo Pass vs. Los Cabos Passport (2026)
Three Cabo discount passes, side by side — price, validity, who's covered and what each one actually includes.
If you're shopping for a Los Cabos discount pass in 2026, three names come up: Baja Pass, the Cabo Discount Pass sold on Viator (often just "Cabo Pass"), and the Los Cabos Passport. They work differently — one is an unlimited-use annual membership, one is a short-trip discount pass with agent-booked reservations, and one is a multi-person discount card. Here's the honest side-by-side, with competitor details taken from their own public listings as of September 2026 (always confirm current terms on their sites).
| Baja Pass | Cabo Discount Pass (Viator) | Los Cabos Passport | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $75 one-time | From about $39 per person | $95 |
| Validity | 365 days from purchase | One trip — the listing says 1 to 30 days (approx.) | 6 to 12 months by card edition; the card on sale now ends July 1, 2027 |

Head-to-head comparisons
Which one is right for you?
The three products solve different problems. The Cabo Discount Pass is built for a single short trip with concierge-style booking. The Los Cabos Passport covers big groups (up to 6) across broad categories at a higher price. Baja Pass is a $75 membership built around depth: a full year, member + 1 guest, unlimited reuse, 2x1 mains at El Squid Roe from 10am to 5pm daily, plus 2x1 at 24 activity partners and a flat 50% off yachts and sport fishing.
One fair caveat in both directions: Baja Pass has one restaurant partner (El Squid Roe) with an unusually deep deal, while the others list broader-but-shallower networks whose exact discounts vary by venue. If your trip revolves around one big yacht or fishing day plus dining and activities for two, the math below usually favors Baja Pass; if you need six people on one card, compare against the Passport's $95.
