Traveler reviews
The experience
You get picked up from your hotel roughly 35 minutes to an hour before your tour start time and driven to the launch point. The crew (owners with national championship wins in Baja off-road racing and annual Baja 1000 competitors) brief you on the Can-Am before you take the wheel. The routes are designed for all skill levels, not just experienced drivers, so you're testing your control on challenging but manageable terrain rather than proving yourself.
The tour covers more driving miles than any competing operation in the area. You navigate through desert and then hit Migriño Beach, a Pacific stretch with golden sands and dunes that stretch for kilometers. In winter months, humpback whales are visible from the beach. The crew handles navigation and timing. You handle the throttle. Water is provided during the ride, and the bilingual guide stays with the group throughout.
The vehicle itself is the draw: 172 horsepower, turbocharged, built for the terrain you're crossing. Your seat belt must fit properly and you cannot exceed 125 kg (275 pounds) to operate it. The experience wraps with a tequila tasting before you're driven back to your hotel. Cell phones are not permitted during shared tours for safety. If you want to use one, you'd book a private option instead.
Is this one for you?Book this if you want to drive the vehicle yourself rather than ride along: the 4-hour duration and 50% longer mileage than other tours in the area mean you spend most of the day actually operating the machine, not watching someone else do it. Choose the private option if you want to use your phone to capture the moment or prefer not to share the experience with other drivers.
