ATV Riding in Cabo with Camel Ride & Tequila Tasting

You operate the ATV yourself through desert and canyons while guides lead the way.

ATV riding in Cabo combines a solo desert ride on a 4x4 automatic vehicle with a camel beach ride and tequila tasting, all in one 5-hour outing from the Sacred Ranch. The package includes full protective gear, an unlimited Mexican buffet at an oceanfront restaurant, and pickup from your hotel. A $25 park entrance fee and $35 collision insurance per ATV are paid at check-in. You'll need a valid driving license and moderate fitness, and the experience is not suitable for pregnant travelers or those with spinal injuries.

The experience

The day starts at the Sacred Ranch, a secluded oceanfront property where you'll get fitted with full protective gear before climbing onto your automatic ATV. The vehicle handles the Baja terrain (open desert, shallow canyons, cactus-lined dusty trails), and you control the throttle the whole way. Experienced guides accompany the group, so you're not navigating alone, but the ride itself is yours to manage. Most of the action happens in the first couple of hours as you work through the landscape.

After the ATV section, the pace shifts. You'll ride a camel along a private beach facing the Pacific, where the waves crash against the shore and the desert meets the water. It's a deliberate cooldown from the offroad intensity, and the guides stop for photos with the animals before moving on. This stretch is shorter and gentler, a different kind of movement through the same Baja setting.

The final part happens at the oceanfront restaurant overlooking the Sea of Cortés. An unlimited Mexican buffet is waiting, full of traditional dishes and regional flavors. Tequila and mezcal tastings are included, or you can order an ice-cold beer instead and sit on the beach. The whole experience runs about 5 hours from start to finish, plus transportation time to and from your hotel. Pickup is arranged when you confirm your booking.

Operated by Cabo Adventures

Is this one for you?You operate the ATV yourself, not as a passenger, so this suits riders who want hands-on control of the vehicle and the pace through the desert. The shared group format with guides keeps the experience safe and social, which works well if you want the thrill without navigating alone. If you prefer to watch rather than ride, or need a private vehicle and guide, this is not the right fit.

Do I need a driver's license to ride the ATV?

What's the Baja desert actually like to ride through?

Is the camel ride on the same beach where we ride the ATV?

No, the camel ride is on a separate private beach facing the Pacific Ocean. After the desert section, you move to this quieter oceanfront location for the camel portion of the day.

What happens if I'm not comfortable with the ATV or want to skip it?

The ATV ride is the core activity, and the package is built around it. If you have concerns about your fitness or ability to operate the vehicle, contact the operator through your booking confirmation to discuss alternatives or modifications before the day starts.
