East Cape Locations
The East Cape stretches along the Sea of Cortez northeast of the airport — a rugged, uncrowded coastline known for world-class fishing, diving at Cabo Pulmo, and laid-back beach towns like La Ribera and Los Barriles. Drive times from Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) typically run 45 minutes to just over an hour depending on your destination.
Below are the East Cape resorts, hotels, and villas SJD Taxi serves. Because many properties sit down long access roads and inside gated communities, a private transfer is the most reliable way in — shared shuttles do not run to most of these remote spots. Search for your destination, choose an SUV, Suburban, or Sprinter for the group and luggage, and book your East Cape airport transfer with flight tracking and a professional driver.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the East Cape from Los Cabos International Airport?
Most East Cape properties are 45 minutes to just over an hour from SJD, depending on whether you’re headed to Los Barriles, La Ribera, or Costa Palmas.
Do shared shuttles run to the East Cape?
No. Because many resorts and villas sit down long access roads or inside gated communities, SJD Taxi serves the East Cape with private transfers only — no shared shuttle option is available on this route.
What vehicle should I book for a group with fishing or kite gear?
A Suburban or Sprinter gives you the extra room for rods, boards, and luggage. Let us know your gear when you book so we can match you with the right vehicle.
Can I book a one-way transfer, or does it have to be round trip?
Either works. Book a one-way arrival or departure transfer, or reserve both legs at once and we’ll have a driver waiting on each end.
