Cabo Migriño: ATV & Camel Ride Combo with Tequila Tasting

Summary

ATV rides and camel encounters on Baja’s wild Pacific coast

You’ll race ATVs across Baja’s dunes with salty Pacific air in your face, then meet camels for a slow stroll along Migriño Beach — all guided by locals who know every shortcut and joke. End your day with tequila tasting (and maybe some sand still in your shoes). It’s messy fun that sticks with you.

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect to be laughing with a camel in Mexico, but that’s how our day at Migriño started. The drive from Cabo San Lucas was quick — maybe 20 minutes? — and I remember the windows were down so I could smell that salty Pacific air mixing with something dry and earthy from the desert. At check-in, it felt like everyone already knew what they were doing except me, but our guide (I think his name was Luis?) just grinned and handed me a helmet. He said, “Don’t worry, you’ll get dusty,” which made me laugh because my shoes were already full of sand before we even got to the ATVs.

The ATV ride itself was louder than I expected — not just the engine, but the wind whipping past as we zipped over these golden dunes. There’s this moment when you come up over a ridge and suddenly there’s nothing but blue ocean ahead of you. I probably shouted something dumb, but honestly, it felt good. Our group stopped for a minute so Luis could point out some weird cactus (I forgot the name), and I noticed my hands were shaking from excitement or maybe just holding on too tight. Either way, I still think about that view sometimes.

Afterwards came the part I wasn’t sure about: riding camels along the beach. They’re bigger up close than you’d think, with these long eyelashes that make them look sort of wise? The handlers were patient — one of them taught us how to say “carrot” in Spanish (zanahoria), which made everyone giggle when we fed treats to our camel. My friend tried to take a selfie and almost dropped her phone in the sand, so yeah… not exactly Instagram-perfect moments, but real ones.

We finished off with a tequila tasting back at the park — honestly, by then I’d forgotten how thirsty I was until that first sip burned in a good way. Someone played music nearby and it all felt warm and easy after so much adrenaline. If you’re thinking about an ATV & camel ride combo near Cabo, this is probably the most fun I’ve had getting dirty in ages.
