"This was my second time on the Pickleball Cabo guided trip to Los Barriles. I recruited some family members to join and we all had an amazing time. The new pickleball facility right in front of our hotel was great with 24 courts almost completed and also has a nice place to sit and enjoy great food and drinks. The hotel/resort is right on the beach and was very nice with friendly staff. We enjoyed a big variety of delicious meals around the town and at the hotel.
The organizers Chip and Quay do an excellent job arranging our schedule and are very accommodating. The pickleball instructors Tony, Willie and Darren were extremely nice and excellent teachers for all levels. We are already talking about going back and making it an annual event. I highly recommend this trip if you like pickleball, great food in a charming Mexican beach town and meeting nice people."
Pickleball - TOP NOTCH instruction by Tony and Willie - who brought enthusiasm, passion, and a competitive and cooperative spirit to what we were learning. We all improved during our time practicing what we had just learned, and then playing games where we were able to incorporate what we had learned. "Paddle up!!" Truly what I walked away from this experience with is TOP NOTCH instruction, but I also got glimpses into what makes Tony a true leader - his competitive spirit with himself and pushing himself to be better - that was just one of the nuggets I took away from this - which not only translates to pickleball and getting better but also to everyday life.
Meals - excellent food and dining experiences - we did different food places every single night which was fun to see what the next place held. Breakfasts were great - from local places in town, to on the beach (amazing green juice), to the convenience of our hotel. Great way to start the morning having breakfast with the pickleballers. Great food!!
It was nice to have a day off from pickleball - and spending time on the beach - breakfast on the beach, ATVing to lunch up the beach, and I think that was also dinner on the beach - I had a great night of sleep after a day of good food, fun with my fellow pickleballers, swimming and the highlight of the trip for me was ATVing!!
Los Barriles is a great place - idyllic water, super friendly people, and a different pace than tourist heavy Cabo. Great trip and as I said, one of the top trips I have taken - if you book this trip - you won't be disappointed. Well done Chip!!! I highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to improve their pickleball game, as well as those of you who want to meet outstanding people and have fun in Baja!! Super great food - and dining experiences that were outstanding! Being part of a group that has the inside track on things made our time in Los Barriles wonderful!!"

Absolutely. We have designed this trip to be worry-free meaning we provide transportation to and from Los Cabos International airport in our private air conditioned vans non-stop to and from our resorts in Cabo, Mexico. Transportation is provided for all day trips in our private van, we visit only areas we know to be safe and we don’t take any risks with our guest’s safety. Our group stays together unless you decide to take an optional activity on your own.
One of the main goals of the trip is to not only have fun, but to improve your pickleball game. We have created lessons focused on all aspects of the game to help you improve your game while you are in Cabo and also have fun trying out your new skills playing with other guests and our instructors. Our trips are for intermediate to advanced players with the majority being at the 3.0 to 4.0 level.
Our trips are typically 7 days (including the travel days) and 6 nights, but check the dates listed on our email updates for the exact number of days and nights for our upcoming trips.
We handle all the local and airport transportation for you with private air-conditioned vans and help you load and unload your luggage.
Lodging at the resort for 6 nights and all programmed meals are included at the resort and local restaurants. You may opt out of any programmed meal and buy your own meals at another venue if you prefer. You can let us know of any dietary restrictions too. Once you land in Los Cabos International Airport, all ground transportation from and to the airport is included and round trip transportation to local group events, and all fees to play pickleball at all clubs are included as well. Airfare, cash bar alcohol, and optional activities on your own in Cabo are not included.
Outside of our daily pickleball lessons there will be free time on Thursday for you participate in one of the many optional local adventures like fishing, snorkeling, paddle boarding, whale watching, hiking, sight seeing, ATV excursions, sailing, horseback riding, ocean kayaking, jet ski and wave runner rentals, kite surfing, or relax and have a massage at the spa, walk to the local shops in Los Barriles, or just lounge at the resort pool or beach. Optional activities are not included in the package price.
We will be staying in the East Cape of the Cabo peninsula on the Sea of Cortez in Los Barriles, Mexico. We stay at two resorts, Playa del Sol and Palmas de Cortez, both located right on the beach with swimming pools and restaurants. Palmas de Cortez has a hot tub connected to the pool for soaking and relaxation, a spa for massages, gourmet restaurants, and pickleball courts! You can stay at either resort, Playa del Sol is a little less expensive because Palmas de Cortez has more amenities and the pickleball courts are closer, but only a few minutes walk from Playa del Sol.
We can accommodate up to 20 people on our group trips. The minimum number for a group trip is 8 people.
Yes! Just let us know your dietary restrictions and we will accommodate you!
The difference between the Guided Trip and the Self-Guided Trip is the Guided Trip includes meals at local restaurants, and is very programmed as far as what we do every day and when we play, and eat meals because we do it all together as a group with a group leader. Guided trips have between 8 and 20 people. In the Guided Trip we have a couple dinners at the resort restaurants, but also go out as a group to local restaurants that we know are excellent and fun so you get a taste of the local area. This trip is ideal for travelers who want everything arranged.
The Self-Guided Trip does not include meals or have a minimum or maximum number of people that can attend. You can eat when and where, and with whom you want. Meals can be included at the resort restaurants as an option, and the group does not have a leader to gather a group and coordinate transportation to local restaurants. Pickleball coaching is included the same as the Guided Trip so you have coaching in the morning and join in on the free play in the afternoons with other players who are at the club. You will get personal attention from the Palmas Pickleball Resort and Academy and they will assist if you in getting in on games on the beginner, intermediate, or advanced courts. This trip is ideal for independent travelers who want flexibility.
Our Guided Trips are geared to the intermediate player level. Most participants are at the 3.0 to 4.0 level. This makes the free play most fun for everyone if they are close to the same level. We do offer a Beginner Guided Trip also where you can come and bring your friends who want to learn to play pickleball.
Relax and soak up some of the local restaurants, shopping and activities that Baja Mexico has to offer.
Pickleball Cabo was born from a simple idea: combine our love for travel with our passion for pickleball—and invite others to join the adventure.
It all started in March 2021, when six friends from San Diego headed down to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for a getaway.
Two of us, Shawn and Chip, worked for a paddle company back home, so we made it a working vacation by sponsoring a pickleball tournament in the charming beach town of Los Barriles. We brought gear, handed out prizes, and—most importantly—played our hearts out.
That trip opened our eyes to something special: the incredible joy of playing pickleball in paradise.

A trip where everything’s handled once you land in Los Cabos Airport — transport to the resort, lodging, play time, great food, local experiences—so all you have to do is show up, play, and enjoy.
Chip had been coming to Cabo since the ’90s, thanks to his dad’s love of great food and family adventures. From boating and snorkeling to hidden local spots and authentic eats, he knew the area like a second home. We thought—why not share that insider knowledge and create a vacation that’s not only fun, but smooth, safe, and filled with unforgettable moments?
By January 2023, we brought down our first official group. We rented a van, picked everyone up from the airport, and headed east to Buena Vista and Los Barriles—far from the crowded tourist scene. We played on beachfront courts, explored other venues, and enjoyed meals at hand-picked local gems. Everyone loved it. So we kept going.

Over time, the trips grew—and so did the friendships. We partnered with Tony Krause, a local pickleball pro with big dreams.
Tony built a stunning 24-court facility at the Palmas de Cortez resort in Los Barriles called the Palmas Pickleball Resort & Academy, complete with a pro shop and restaurant, and is head coach for our groups at Palmas.
By November 2024, we were playing on brand-new courts by the Sea of Cortez and going on off-the-beaten-path adventures with Tony himself—from ATV rides to waterfalls to boating and swims in crystal-clear coves.
In 2025, we welcomed groups from all over—Northern California, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, New Jersey, Canada, and beyond.
Many returned for a second (or third!) trip.
The vibe?
Casual, friendly, and unforgettable.

Looking ahead, we’ve got 7 group trips already planned between November 2025 and April 2026.
We also offer Self-Guided trips for those who want more flexibility but still want the convenience of expert planning and local know-how.
Pickleball Cabo is more than just a vacation—it’s a community, an experience, and a chance to make lifelong friends and memories through a sport we all love. We’d love for you to join us.
