Cabo: ATV Desert & Beach Ride with Tequila Tasting & Pickup

Summary

ATV adventure in Cabo through desert trails to Migriño Beach

You’ll feel Baja’s raw beauty on this Cabo ATV tour—riding desert trails with a local guide, pausing at Migriño Beach for ocean views and wildlife glimpses. After kicking up dust together, you’ll toast with a tequila tasting before heading back to your hotel with sand in your shoes—and probably a big grin.

What’s the experience like?

First thing I noticed was the grit in my teeth—honestly, I didn’t expect the Baja desert to smell so clean, like sun-baked earth and salt air. We’d barely finished check-in when our guide, Carlos, handed me a helmet and grinned, “Ready for dust?” The van ride from Cabo San Lucas was quick enough that I still had coffee breath when we started up the engines. There were folks from all over—one couple from Canada laughed about their lack of ATV skills (I felt better after that), and Carlos joked he’d seen worse drivers on the highway.

The main keyword here is “Cabo ATV tour”—but it’s not just about engines and sand. Once we hit those sandy riverbeds, the wind whipped past my ears and everything went quiet except for the hum of tires over rocks. We zigzagged through cacti taller than me, then suddenly the landscape cracked open: Migriño Beach. The Pacific looked almost fake—too blue, too wide. I remember stopping for photos and hearing nothing but waves and someone’s distant laughter (maybe mine). My hands shook a bit from adrenaline or maybe just excitement.

Carlos pointed out some pelicans diving for fish near a little fishing village—he said his uncle used to work there. I tried to ask about the boats in Spanish; he answered in English anyway (probably easier for both of us). There was a moment where we all just stood around, helmets off, squinting at the ocean like we’d never seen it before. Sand stuck everywhere—I’m still finding it in my shoes days later—but I didn’t care.

Back at base, they poured us tiny glasses of tequila (smooth enough that even Sarah from our group didn’t make her usual face). The sun was dipping low by then and everything smelled like warm stone and salt again. Honestly? I still think about that view over Migriño Beach whenever things get loud back home.
