Once you get ashore in Cabo, you will find plenty of vendors selling tours/activities. They are right there on the pier where the tender boats dock. If you want to go to Playa del Amor (Lovers Beach), haggle with them and you can get the ride for like $5 per person. I am sure that if you guys are going to be such a big group, they would not want to lose that business! So stand your ground and haggle! You can also go for ATV rides in Cabo, horse rides on the beaches just north of Cabo and a ton of other things at a slightly higher price than $5 each!
If you are taking a laptop with you, go to Paraiso Mall just across the Marina and by the Haagen Dazs Icecream parlour you can get free wireless internet access. It's a great wifi hotspot. Plus plenty of shopping choices for the girls inside the Mall, if they so fancy.
Mazatlan take a cab to the Zona Dorada (Golden Zone). Again haggle with them, we haev many times taken a cab from the cruiseship terminal to the Golden Zone for $2 per person! Likewise returning to the ship. There a nice beach there, plenty of water sports, ya guys might wanna try parasailing (don't give them more than $25 per ride, no matter how much they ask you for!!!) Jetskis can also be rented albeit once again at a higher price than that!
Ah Puerto Vallarta........one of the Captain's favorite haunts.........where do I start...........oh I know.........Walmart, that's right! There's a walamrt and a Sam's Club right across the street from the cruisehip pier! You can get any supplies you need there plus they sell International Phone Cards which will allow you to call the United States for 25c a minute! I think oyu get like 40 minutes for $10, not bad at all. Take the local bus to downtown PV, it's only 50c (5 pesos) each. Look for destination on gthe windshield which says CENTRO, going back to the ship from downtown, look for the destination on the the windshield which says WALMART. Plenty of things to see in downtown PV for the first time visitor. And it is very pedestrian friendly with a nice malecon (seaside pedestrian walkway). At the cruieship terminal you also find free wifi hotspots where the souvenir shops are located and also many tour operators selling local tours/activities. Whatever you do in PV, make sure you stay on ship's time as the time zone changes in the middle of Bahia de Banderas (Bay of Flags) effectively putting PV in 2 time zones!
I hope you find the above hints helpful.

The car was travelling at just 45mph along a practically empty stretch of the M6 Toll.
Officers pulled the woman over to advise her on her driving.
The footage, captured near the Norton Canes services in Staffordshire, shows other drivers having to manoeuvre around the roadhog while she continues along the 70mph limit motorway in the middle lane.
At one point a police car goes past on blue lights - but even this wasn't enough to persuade the oblivious driver to move over into lane one.
Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG) took to Twitter to share footage of the incident.
Web users reacted with dismay to the driver's dangerous actions with one person tweeting: "This is my biggest pet hate. Who are you overtaking there? So stupid."
Linda Craddock added: "More people should be pulled up for this it causes so much frustration with other drivers."
Gruffaloscoot put: "I’m more concerned about the 45mph on an empty motorway."
Gareth added: "See it everyday on the M5 M42 and M40. They are driving so dangerously but they fail to see why! #frustrating"
Since we receive approximately 40 new babies each year, and each of our children’s homes have 40 beds, we need to build a new home every year. Our tiny babies move from Kuthula Place to the baby home, the babies move to the toddler home, the toddlers move to Emseni #1 and then the older kids shifts up the mountain. It’s a big deal and we had one of those moves today with 17 children moving. The older kids are always telling me that boys will move in to Emseni #6 and then girls in Emseni #7. It’s fun to watch their excitement as they see a “right of passage” with each move. In the photo below you will see where we were to build our next home, Emseni #6, and it indeed was to be for boys. But this week we had a change of plans.Photos from our stay at Camp Xakanaxa in Moremi Game Park and the Okavango Delta region of Botswana.
