What You Can Expect From the Tour

This ATV adventure is a solid way to make the most of a short time in Baja. From the moment you’re picked up at your hotel, the tour is all about combining scenic sightseeing with a lively off-road ride. After a quick safety briefing—where your guide explains how to handle the ATV—you’re fitted with a helmet, goggles, and a bandana, ready to hit the dusty trails.

The route takes you through Baja’s pristine desert, past steep canyons and rugged mountain views. The guide’s local knowledge shines here, pointing out desert wildlife like foxes and roadrunners, which adds a real sense of being in an untouched landscape. Along the way, you’ll pass by steep hillsides and dry creek beds, which give you a sense of Baja’s wild terrain.

Once you arrive at Migriño Beach, you get off the ATV to stretch your legs and take in the scenery. The beach itself is a highlight—wide sandy dunes meet crashing waves. There’s time to cool off in the ocean, grab a drink, or snap some photos of the dramatic coastal rock formations. According to reviews, the views are genuinely impressive, making this more than just a thrill ride.

The return journey includes some lookout points where you get sweeping Baja vistas. Your guide might even point out native wildlife, adding an educational aspect to the adventure. After about two hours, you’re back in the vehicle and headed to your hotel, tired but happy from a good dose of Baja’s natural scenery.

The Tour Itinerary

Your day starts with pickup at one of three convenient locations in Los Cabos or San José del Cabo. Expect a short transfer (around 54 minutes) to reach the starting point, where your guide will give a brief safety talk and introduce you to the ATV.

The off-road section is the core of the experience, where you’ll spend roughly an hour riding through the desert and exploring the canyons. Midway, there’s a fun “secret stop”—a break for photos, a visit to a local spot, or a quick look around. This keeps the tour dynamic and gives you a chance to stretch your legs.

Next, you’ll visit a local restaurant—perfect for sampling some regional cuisine or just relaxing for a moment before heading back. The tour wraps up with the return trip to your hotel, dropping you off at your original pickup point.

What’s Included and What’s Not

The price of $86 per person covers quite a lot. You get round-trip transportation, a professional guide, and a 2-hour ATV ride with the option of single or double ATVs. Safety gear—helmet, goggles, and a bandana—is provided, which helps you feel prepared and secure.

However, there are some extras to keep in mind. Entrance fees are $25 per person, and alcohol is not included but available for purchase. If you want to be fully covered in case of an accident, collision insurance is available for $65 per vehicle—something worth considering if you’re cautious. Souvenir photos are also optional and can be bought afterward, which many find fun for keepsakes.
