What’s the experience like?

“You ever try to steer a Can-Am Maverick X3 through Baja sand? I hadn’t, not until that morning outside Los Cabos when our group tumbled out of the van, still half-asleep and blinking at the sun. Our guide, Marco, grinned like he knew something we didn’t. The engines were already purring — that low, impatient sound. My hands were sweating before I even got behind the wheel. We tore through stretches of desert so dry it felt like my lips might crack, then suddenly we’d hit these soft patches where the tires just floated over golden sand. Honestly, I kept thinking I’d mess up and get us stuck but Marco just shouted encouragement over the radio — ‘Más rápido! You’re good!’”

After about an hour (felt shorter), we swapped helmets for sun hats and shuffled over to meet the camels. There’s this weird moment where you realize you’re about to ride a camel by the Pacific — not something I’d pictured doing in Mexico. The air smelled faintly salty with a hint of hay from their feed bags. My camel’s name was Luna; she leaned into my hand when I offered her a carrot (she drooled all over my palm). Our guide Ana explained how camels aren’t native here but have become part of local ranch culture — she made us laugh trying to teach us their Spanish nicknames. The coastline was quiet except for wind and the occasional gull; it’s oddly peaceful up there swaying on a camel’s back with nothing but blue horizon ahead.

Lunch was this casual buffet — tacos, fresh fruit, cold drinks — nothing fancy but honestly perfect after all that dust and sun. There was tequila tasting too (I tried to act like I knew what I was doing; pretty sure Ana could tell I didn’t). The whole day felt like two different stories stitched together: one wild and fast, one slow and kind of meditative. If you’re looking for a day trip from Los Cabos that mixes adrenaline with something totally unexpected…well, this is it. Even now I still think about Luna’s eyelashes and that weird sense of calm after all the noise.
