If you’re considering adding a bit of adrenaline to your trip to San Jose del Cabo, the Ultimate UTVs Adventure might just fit the bill. This tour promises a four-hour escape into some of Baja California Sur’s most scenic and challenging landscapes, all while giving you a chance to hop into a side-by-side UTV for some serious fun. From winding trails to beach crossings and even a bridge ride, it sounds like a decent mix of adventure, natural beauty, and a dash of thrill.
What we really like about this tour? First, the guides seem to be well-trained and bilingual, making it easier to feel safe and informed, especially if you’re not a seasoned off-road driver. Second, the scenery—from deserts to beaches—looks stunning in the photos and reviews alike, offering a great way to see Baja’s diverse landscapes.
On the flip side, a potential concern is the extra costs. The tour’s base price is $199 per group, but there are additional fees for park entry, collision insurance, and transport if you’re outside the main area—things that could push the total up a bit. Also, some reviews point out that the check-in process can be lengthy and that waits after the ride, especially for the return transport, might not be ideal if you’re short on time or patience.
All in all, this tour seems best suited to adventure-seeking travelers who enjoy scenic drives and don’t mind a bit of dust and dirt. If you’re traveling with friends or a partner looking for a fun, active experience in Los Cabos, this could be a good choice. Just keep in mind the extra costs and the potential for some downtime waiting for transport.

The Itinerary Breakdown
Stop 1: Wild Canyon Adventures sets the tone for what’s to come. Here, the focus is on unleashing your energy in the dunes and along the beaches. The adventure is fairly flexible, with guides adjusting the track to match your skill level. This is where you’re encouraged to take the wheel and really experience Baja’s wild side.
Driving through the dunes and along the coast offers an exhilarating feeling of freedom. Many reviews mention how fun it is to control your vehicle, whether you’re climbing hills or cruising down sandy stretches. The guides are often praised for their professionalism and friendliness, making the experience more enjoyable and less intimidating for beginners.
The highlight: crossing the Los Cabos Canyon Bridge. This is often described as both exciting and a little scary, but definitely a memorable part of the adventure. One reviewer mentioned, “The bridge crossing was so much fun and kind of scary,” which captures that thrill perfectly.
The Scenery & Experience
The landscapes vary from desert-like dunes to lush beaches, offering a good visual mix. You’ll have stops to hydrate (water provided, but bring your own bottle), and plenty of opportunities for photos—although cameras are not permitted during the ride for safety reasons. Professional photographers are on hand to capture your moments, which many reviewers appreciated.
One guest described the experience as “amazing” with “beautiful scenery,” highlighting the view of native animals and the natural beauty of Baja. Others appreciated the chance to see the animal park during the tour, adding a unique touch.
The Downsides You Might Notice
A common theme in reviews is the long wait times, especially after the ride when waiting for the return shuttle. One review noted, “Almost an hour wait to get the return ride,” which can be frustrating if you’re trying to stick to a tight schedule. The dusty conditions and hot weather post-ride can also make waiting less pleasant, so bringing a towel or refreshing wipes might help.
Pricing is another point worth noting. While the base price of $199 per group seems fair, extras like park entry ($25) and collision insurance ($49) are additional. Several travelers felt the total ended up costing more than expected, so budgeting for these extras is wise.
Who Is This Tour Best For?
This adventure suits adventure lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, especially those looking for a hands-on experience with Baja’s landscapes. It’s accessible for beginners thanks to the training and induction, but also offers enough excitement for seasoned drivers. Keep in mind that the physical activity involves some moderate effort—so those with limited mobility might want to consider this carefully.
It’s also a good option for groups or couples who want to share a fun, adrenaline-filled outing. Families with older children may find it suitable, but check the age and physical fitness requirements if you’re traveling with kids.
