Exploring Cabo on Horseback: A Quiet Ride Along Migriño Beach
If you’re considering a horseback riding adventure in Cabo San Lucas, there’s one option that really catches the eye—a completely private horse ride along one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. This tour, offered by Cabo Day Trips, promises an exclusive experience with personalized service that’s ideal for those who want a more intimate, relaxed outing.
What we especially like about this experience is its focus on privacy and comfort—your group will be the only ones on the horse, and you’ll be transported in a private vehicle straight from your hotel. Plus, the setting is utterly stunning: a secluded stretch of Migriño Beach, with its broad sands and panoramic views of the Pacific.
One thing to keep in mind, though, is that you’ll need to be comfortable with some physical activity. It’s not overly strenuous, but moderate fitness is recommended. This tour likely suits those who enjoy a bit of adventure without the crowds, and who want a scenic, personalized ride rather than a large-group tour.

What’s Included and What to Expect

This tour is designed for those seeking a relaxed yet memorable riding experience. The main highlight is the two-hour ride on Migriño Beach, a quiet, less crowded spot just outside of Cabo San Lucas. The tour begins with a hotel pickup—yes, a private transportation service will fetch you from your accommodation, making your day easier and more comfortable.
Once you arrive at Migriño Beach, you’ll be introduced to your horse and receive some training and safety instructions. This is especially helpful if you’re new to horseback riding, but even seasoned riders will appreciate the thorough briefing. The equipment—saddle and other riding gear—is included, so no need to bring your own.
For the duration of the ride, you’ll get to enjoy the vast, unspoiled sands and waves gently crashing nearby. The tour lasts roughly two hours, which is enough time to savor the scenery without feeling rushed. As one reviewer pointed out, “Chino was a great tour guide,” highlighting how knowledgeable guides contribute significantly to the experience.
The tour also includes bottled water, because staying hydrated is always smart when you’re outdoors. However, there’s a $25 park entrance fee that you need to budget for separately. This fee isn’t included in the tour price but is a straightforward additional cost.

The Experience: Riding on Migriño Beach
The ride itself is tailored to your group’s pace and comfort level. You’ll enjoy the freedom of riding along a secluded beach, with the ocean on one side and the desert-like landscape on the other. The setting is truly a photographer’s dream—wide open spaces, crashing waves, and the horizon stretching endlessly.
Based on reviews, the experience feels both relaxing and refreshing. The guide, Chino, is noted for his friendliness and knowledge—an important aspect because having a guide who can share interesting tidbits about the surroundings and ensure safety enhances the overall ride.
One reviewer mentioned, “Had a wonderful private tour. Learned a lot, especially at how you can survive in the desert,” which suggests that the guide’s insights go beyond just horseback riding. This adds a layer of value for those wanting to learn more about the area, even if only through engaging commentary during the ride.
The ride itself is suitable for moderately fit travelers, but it’s not overly strenuous. It’s more about enjoying the scenery and the serenity of riding along the beach. The private nature of the tour means your group can move at your preferred pace, making it a flexible and personalized outing.
What Makes This Tour Stand Out

One of the biggest selling points here is the exclusivity. You’re not sharing the experience with strangers, which makes it perfect for couples, small groups, or anyone wanting a quiet escape. Plus, the private transportation ensures that your day starts smoothly, without the hassle of waiting around for other travelers.
The stunning views are a consistent theme in reviews, with many highlighting how peaceful and picturesque Migriño Beach is. “Learned a lot, especially how you can survive in the desert,” hints that the guides are knowledgeable and engaging—a bonus for those interested in more than just riding.
Another plus is the flexibility—since this is a private tour, you can tailor your ride somewhat to your preferences, whether that means taking a leisurely walk or a more brisk trot along the sands.
Considering the Cost

At $235 per person, this experience isn’t cheap, but it does deliver on exclusivity and quality. You’re paying for personalized service, a private guide, and the stunning setting, which many travelers will find worth the splurge. Comparing it to group tours, this private ride offers a level of intimacy and comfort that makes it stand out.
Also, the free cancellation policy—up to 24 hours in advance—adds a layer of flexibility. If weather turns sour or plans change, you can cancel without penalty, which is a relief for travelers planning outdoor activities.
Who Would Enjoy This Ride?

This tour is well-suited for travelers who value privacy, stunning scenery, and a relaxed pace. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful escape rather than an adrenaline rush. The experience would appeal to those interested in a scenic, laid-back adventure, especially if you’re traveling with a partner or a small group who appreciates personalized service.
It’s worth noting that while the ride isn’t specifically marketed as family-friendly, it might be suitable for older children comfortable with horses and outdoor activities. That said, it’s always wise to consider your comfort level with horses and the physical aspect involved.
