Los Cabos UTV and Camel Ride Desert Adventure with Lunch

You take the wheel of a powerful UTV across wide canyons and sandy desert trails.

A 2-seater off-road UTV adventure and camel ride at Tierra Sagrada ranch near Los Cabos, where you drive your own vehicle through desert terrain, ride camels on a secluded Pacific beach, eat an unlimited Mexican buffet, and taste tequila and Damiana. The ranch is located about 45 minutes outside Cabo on a private oceanfront property. Pickup from your hotel is included, and guides speak English and Spanish.

The Experience

What's the difference between watching the desert and driving through it yourself? On this activity, you control a powerful 2-seater UTV from the moment you arrive at Tierra Sagrada ranch. After meeting your guides and getting fitted with full protective body gear, you head out across wide canyons and sandy desert trails. The drive takes you down toward the coast, building toward the next part of the day.

Once you reach the Camel Ranch on a secluded beach, the pace shifts. You trade the UTV for a camel and ride along the Pacific shoreline with the ocean breeze at your back. By the time you're done, you've worked up a real appetite. The Ocean Front restaurant is waiting with an unlimited Mexican buffet—local flavors, fresh tortillas, spicy salsas, and vegetarian options if you need them. Ice-cold beer comes with the meal.

The day wraps with an educational tequila and Damiana tasting session before the drive back to Cabo. The whole experience runs about three and a half hours from start to finish, and the air-conditioned vehicle handles the return journey. You'll need at least a moderate level of fitness for the UTV portion, and the minimum age to drive is 18; passengers as young as 8 can ride along.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want to drive the vehicle yourself rather than ride along—the 2-seater UTV puts you in control of the desert portion, and the camel ride and beachfront meal balance the intensity. It's built for two people sharing the experience, so it suits couples or friends who want to split the driving or take turns at the wheel.
