Want a quick adrenaline boost doing something safe and different? Get a phone and call Ernesto of Cabo Sky Tours. I have had opportunity to do this but just a few times in my life. I have finally done the sky tour now and say, "Do it here!" 30 minutes you will remember. No cameras while in the air though. A newer business, Ernesto answers the phones, books the trips, preps the ultralight, gears up the passenger with a jacket/googles/ear protection, provides a brief introduction to the ultra-light and reviews the safety rules for flying and then he is the pilot guiding a single passenger on a memorable flight over the Cabo Marina, the Arch, a resort or two and a few of the beaches in the area. When I realized we were heading for home, I just wanted to stay up for more. Excellent value for the money. Costs vary some what by weight of the passenger. I don't want to handcuff Ernesto on rates but I was $20 more than my wife! Ernesto has a partner who is cooking in the site trailer near the hanger. I had some of the best grilled shrimp here that I had anywhere in Cabo!

I would give 6 stars if possible! Ernesto was absolutely fantastic, very enthusiastic and energetic making me and my mother in law feel like we where family. The glider was very clean and purred like a kitten. The take off was smooth and the sights are unbelievable from the cozy seat. You really feel like you are flying and I could have spent hours up there. My mother in law spotted a pod of whales and I saw one as well along with three large Stingrays just off Divorce beach. This was something I wont scratch off my bucket list because I will be doing it again, however I will be taking the 15 minute trip next time! I would highly recommend this to anyone and even if you are a little apprehensive about flying it feels very safe and Ernesto does a fantastic job!

I have always wanted to fly in an ultralight and finally got my chance today. It was unbelievable! Ernesto has 37 years experience piloting the ultralight and gave me the tour of my life. The highlight was when we spotted boats speeding toward some humpback whales. While at least 15 boats were a discreet distance back, we were able to fly over the whales for several minutes watching them splash, jump, and glide underwater. The water in Cabo is crystal clear and it was magical to see these three giant creatures swimming beneath the surface. We also saw giant sea turtles, sea lions, and a large manna ray. The 30 minute trip was delightful and I would recommend it to anyone! Thank you Ernesto!!!

This tour is Magical!! Ernesto (the owner/operator) takes you up in his ultralight, and you soar through the air, knowing firsthand how an Eagle feels each day. The views, and sensations, are breathtaking! Very safe excursion, because of Ernesto's 37 years of experience with hang gliding and ultralight.
Also, for the thrillseekers, he will swoop low over the mountains and beaches, if you want. He will customize the flight to each passenger's preference. You are above the noise, the crowds, and the commotion. You become one with the beautiful nature of Cabo San Lucas.
I ziplined, rappelled, did Flyboards, parasailed, snorkeled, drove ATVs, paddleboarded, and rock climbed this week in Cabo. All were fun. This tour stands by itself, in it's own class! It was my absolute favorite!! The cost is well worth the experience, which is priceless! My girlfriend and I each did the 30 minute flight.
Adrenaline creates memories... whenever it is happy, exciting, thrilling, one remembers forever. This is an experience that you definitely do not want to miss!! Thank you Sooo much Ernesto! Until next time, my friend

I am Ernesto's first client since March! Good news, they're open again! This was one of the best decisions I've ever made in life! Also, Ernesto was so very kind and attentive. He is just as excited about your trip as you are and I love that about him! At one point I was struggling to keep my glasses on during the ride and he fly back to the building just to give me some glasses that would stay on. I never even told him I was struggling to keep them on, to have seen it would have taken much attention to detail, which he most certainly has. He gave me a jacket to wear because he thought mine wouldn't work as well, he also offered it without me even asking. Lastly, he made me feel very safe, he took every precaution for the pandemic and for the ride itself. I highly recommend this tour, it was worth every penny and it's an experience that goes down in the books!

For all of those people with a sense of adventure , looking for a great experience in Cabo, do yourself a favor and visit Ernesto at Cabo Sky Tours . Schedule a flight with him in his Ultra Light Aircraft. It will be an experience you will not forgot . You will be treated to views of Cabo and the Cabo corridor you can not see from anywhere but several hundred feet in the air. It is just awesome! Charlene and I each took a different trip . I went for a 30 minute trip over Cabo bay to the Arch then north on the Pacific Ocean to Pedragal, then up the coast to the Sea of Cortez to Chileno Bay then back to Cabo . We saw some marine life (a sting ray and several sea turtles). The AWESOME coast line of Cabo was in full display. The Ultra Light is a very unique aircraft. It is highly maneuverable and can fly very slow when necessary, very comfortable and you have an absolutely 360 degree of vision. Which makes it perfect for sightseeing. I am a bit of an aviation junkie and have flown in quite a few different planes. I must say I had more fun in this little aircraft then any other. Meeting Ernesto was a great pleasure. He has a very interesting life story and is TOTALLY into his profession as a pilot with over 20 years of experience. Do yourself a favor and do this. YOU will not regret it .

Reserve now! A truly beautiful and unique view of the beautiful Cabo shoreline. Ernesto, your pilot, is extremely courteous and professional. Always smiling and ready to take you aboard, with over 30 years experience. You can take off for 10, 30 or even 60 minutes. Go for a smooth ride through the sky, or elect for the “adventure” and get up close and personal with the many geographical features that shape the beaches! Not only is the view breathtaking, but the physical experience is truly special, as well. The free-flow of the wind, with your legs out and arms open can only be captured aboard this unique aircraft. Absolute must! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

While in Cabo this is an experience you should not miss! Ernesto will happily show you a side of Cabo that is spectacular. His enthusiasm and obvious love of what he does every day is contagious. Every aspect of the flight was fun. It is very affordable and worth every penny. Do yourself a favor and fly with Ernesto.

I am at a point in life where not much impresses me. Sitting at my resort I saw them flying over and said I need to do that and I was not disappointed. Expectation was strapping a lawnmower to my back, but this is an amazing airframe. It took about 10 seconds of flight to realize that Ernesto is not some moron hired guy. What a PRO, his assistant Isreal did everything to simplify the experience.
I flew for an hour, wasn't cheap, but you can't take money with you at the end. I told Ernesto to just fly and have fun, pretend it is your day off. We flew low over some dunes, so low that I felt I could drag my feet. Went out searching for whales (season soon end). From the air easy to spot, many moms and calfs, you could sew them surface, blow and dive deep to do again. Did some amazing power dives over bluffs, I'm sure anyone looking would think we were going to crash, but I had zero fear, he is a pro.
Some hints. You can't take a camera or hat as you could lose them and into the prop, which would be bad. He has a go pro and I can't wait to see photos. Closed toe tie on shoes and long pants as it does get cool. He will give you ear muffs and googles. The "airstrip " is easy to Uber to $20 from Los Cabos. As we couldn't talk during flight, he had great hand signals so I knew what he was saying.
This isn't cheap, but none of the best things in life are. Another hint, best way to contact is what's app, he can't answer the phone while flying. I am 230 pounds or about 100kg. You will sit behind him, in a very comfortable seat and not once did I ever have a concern about falling out.

An incredible experience unlike anything else in Cabo! The views you get to see are mindblowing. I am a pilot and still the feeling of flying in an ultralight aircraft was unlike anything I have experienced. You feel like a bird! Ernesto is so friendly, fun, and honest, and you can tell he truly, truly loves what he does. He takes safety very seriously and I never felt doubt or fear at all. Even though he has done this for years he knows how special this is for each passenger and tries to make each flight amazing. For example, he tries to find pods of whales and fish, and even diving over the dunes if that's what you want! Fly with Ernesto you won't regret it!

The seatbelt appears to be a single strap over the legs, wheras this doesn't appear to be the case for other light sport aircraft of this class. Is the tour still safe?
Written December 20, 2021
To answer your question, I believe it is safe. I am a former Naval Aviator (1500 hours) and ultralight pilot. I encouraged my wife to take the flight, and had no concerns about safety. I didn't fly partly for budgetary reasons, and because it wasn't a new thing for me. It was for her. You can read my review separately.
I would add that my personal ultralight did not have a 3-point harness. Far more important than such a harness is the quality of the aircraft, the thoroughness of the preflight inspection, the knowledge and ability of the pilot, etc. I would not hesitate to fly with Cabo Sky Tours, or to have my wife go again. She had a ball...

Hi, Nabeel. Ernesto has been flying ultralight aircraft for many years. He sits in the front, his passenger behind him. In a crash, he would be the first to kiss the earth.
And he looked very lifelike to me...
Seriously, I am a former Naval Aviator who also owned and flew my own single-seat ultralight for about 3 years. I was very impressed by the thoroughness of his pre-flight, the build quality and obvious strength of the aircraft, the instructions he provides to passengers, and his attention to detail. That's the only reason I encouraged my wife to fly with him.
Now she knows what it is like. She had a ball!

are you allowed to take ur phone to take videos ?
Written January 17, 2021
Hello, ymaritza. My wife wanted to take a small camera with a wrist strap for her flight. It was not allowed, and for a very good reason. Ernesto is very concerned about safety. Because the propeller is behind the passengers (a "pusher prop"), anything coming loose from the passenger seat might well go beck into the propeller, possibly damaging it. This would be a very unsafe thing. So we did not argue.
As you see from some of the photos provided, there is a camera system on the aircraft that takes excellent quality still photos which you can purchase.

Where do you meet for the trip? Can they pick you up from the resort?
Written January 16, 2021
If you’re staying near downtown or in the popular hotel area, it’s only about 8-10 min drive. We took an Uber from medana beach that cost about USD $3.

We would like to purchase a flight the week of Thanksgiving. Are you currently doing flights or are you closed due to COVID? If so let us know how to purchase a ticket for one hour.

I'm sorry but I do not know if they are currently open for business.

How much is the cost for this? I tried to look for it on their website but unfortunately I can’t find it.
Written February 14, 2020
It is $250 for 30 minutes and I’m not too sure how much for 60 minutes. Make sure you bring cash for this! The the photos cost $20 for and 10 photos cost $70 I believe. Please don’t quote me on that because I am not 100% sure. But 30 minutes definitely costed me $250 cash.

Agree with the answer below. Not sure if they allow kids as a second passenger but owner/operator is a really nice guy...easy to get there and he could tell you...
