Exploring Cabo with a Thrilling Combo: Beach CAN-AM SXS X3 & Horseback Ride in Cabo by Cactus Tours Park
If you’re looking for a way to pack both adrenaline and relaxation into a single day in Los Cabos, this Beach CAN-AM SXS X3 & Horseback Ride might catch your eye. We’ve come across this experience, and while we haven’t done it ourselves, the reviews and details paint a compelling picture. It promises a fun mix of rugged off-road action, tranquil beach horseback riding, and some tasty local flavors — all rolled into about three hours of adventure.
What we really appreciate about this tour is how it offers variety—you’re not just zooming around in a vehicle but also enjoying a peaceful ride along the Pacific. Plus, the inclusion of round-trip transportation and safety gear makes it more convenient than many other activities that require extra planning. On the flip side, it’s worth noting that the tour is quite structured, with set times and a relatively short duration, which might feel rushed if you love lingering longer at each stop.
This experience is well-suited for travelers who enjoy a little bit of everything—adventure, scenic beauty, and good vibes with a dash of tequila. Families with kids over 10 might especially appreciate the opportunity for children to drive their own SXS, but it’s also perfect for couples or groups seeking a lively, varied day.

This part keeps things organized and ensures everyone understands the rules, especially important if you’re traveling with kids. You’ll also get a chance to browse some souvenir photos, which are available for purchase later, and see a brief overview of the location.
Off-road SXS Adventure
This is the main event—a 1-hour ride in top-tier Can-Am side-by-sides. The vehicles are equipped with advanced suspension for a smoother ride across sandy beaches, hills, and dunes, providing a true outdoor thrill. It’s noteworthy that children aged 10 and above can take the wheel, which makes this appealing for families or groups with kids eager to drive. Younger kids, from age 7, can ride in the side-by-side alongside a parent or guardian.

We loved the way the guide remained with the small group, ensuring confidence during the ride. The terrain is designed to be accessible yet exciting, with scenic views that make the ride memorable.
Second stop: Playa Migrino
After the off-road fun, everyone heads to Playa Migrino, a stretch of golden sand and dunes along the Pacific. This is a calmer, more tranquil segment of the tour, perfect for unwinding. The beach is notably beautiful, especially at sunset, with the chance to see humpback whales in winter—an added bonus if you’re visiting during the season.
This stop provides a chance to soak in nature’s beauty, and we’re told the sunsets are truly spectacular. The two-hour stay here allows for some relaxed sightseeing and, perhaps, some quick photos or a walk along the beach.

Who Should Consider This Tour?
This tour caters best to adventure lovers and curious travelers who want to experience both thrills and tranquility in a single outing. It’s ideal for families with kids over 10 who want to drive their own vehicle, but also suits couples or small groups eager for a variety-filled day. If you’re someone who appreciates guided experiences and enjoys scenic views, you’ll likely find this tour very satisfying.
However, if you prefer long, slow-paced excursions or are looking for a more cultural or historical experience, this might not be the perfect fit. Also, keep in mind the short duration—if you want a full day of activities, you’ll need to supplement this with other plans.
