Fun Camel Ride and UTV COMBO with Tequila Tasting!

The unusual pairing is the point: you ride a camel along the Pacific, then trade its slow, swaying pace for a UTV on Baja sand and desert trails. It is a lively way to see Migriño Beach and get two very different kinds of ride in one outing.

I like the contrast between the camel route and the off-road drive, and the chance to learn about the camels before setting out. I also like that round-trip transportation is included and that the tequila tasting adds a low-key finish after the motors and dust.

The main caution is the extra-cost uncertainty. The $109 price does not include the $25 entrance fee, and insurance, automatic vehicles, private tours, and photos may add to the bill. Pickup delays and a no-phone rule are also worth factoring into your plans.

• Camels first, motor power second: The outing combines a guided camel ride with an ATV or UTV trip through Baja desert terrain.
• Migriño is the setting: Expect Pacific beach, white sand, desert scenery, mountain ranges, and seasonal wildflowers.
• Plan for add-ons: The $25 entrance fee is extra, and insurance, vehicle upgrades, private service, and photos may cost more.
• Shared rides are standard: A UTV is provided for every two people. A solo booking receives an individual ATV.
• Keep your phone put away: Cameras and phones are not allowed on the tour; a professional photographer takes pictures that you can buy.
• Allow breathing room in your day: The activity is about three hours, but shared pickup and traffic can extend the outing.

One Cabo outing, two very different rides

This combo tour begins at a ranch in the Migriño area, west of Cabo San Lucas, where desert meets the Pacific. First comes a guided camel ride, then an ATV or side-by-side UTV ride, followed by a tequila tasting. It is an activity-heavy half-day, with plenty of scenery but less time for a quiet beach stop than the word beach might suggest.

The appeal is the change of pace. On a camel, you move slowly enough to take in the animals and the surrounding desert; in a UTV, the focus shifts to steering across sand and rougher trails. Guides including Rafael, Bruno, Pancho, Juan, Raul, Andres, Rudy, and Zetina have been praised for being fun, helpful, and attentive to safety. Your guide will vary, of course, but a good one can make the activities feel more personal.

The tour has a 4.3 rating from 33 reviews, a useful sign that many people enjoy the outing but not a guarantee of a smooth day. Praise centers on the guides, the ocean views, and the UTV ride. The less flattering experiences point to late pickups, check-in confusion, added costs, and a large-scale operation that can feel rushed. I would book it for the activities, not for a small-group or leisurely feel.

Camel time on the Migriño coast

The first ride takes you by camel along Migriño Beach and through nearby desert scenery. The route offers a close look at a different side of Los Cabos: dry hills, several mountain ranges, and, in season, fields of wildflowers. The Pacific provides a striking backdrop, though the camel ride itself is one part of a packed schedule rather than a long trek.

You can expect a guided ride, with the option to learn about the camels and, according to the tour details, a chance to feed them. If you book for two, you ride one camel together. That arrangement may suit couples or parents with a child, but it is worth considering if you would rather ride separately. The stated weight limit is 274 pounds per person.

Set your expectations for an animal encounter, not a polished theme-park ride. Camels are large animals, and one may be less cooperative than another. The camel portion is a highlight for people trying this for the first time, but some riders wish it lasted longer. If the camel experience is your main reason for booking, this combo may feel more like an introduction than a full camel trek.

The UTV route brings the speed and sand

After the camel ride, you switch to an ATV or side-by-side UTV. The route goes through the Baja desert toward Migriño’s white-sand dunes and ocean-side cliffs. The ride is often the most exciting part for people who want a hands-on activity, and the course can provide a good stretch of driving time rather than a brief spin around a small loop.

A side-by-side UTV is assigned for every two people, so you can share the driving. If you book as one person, you receive a single ATV. The standard ATV may be manual, and a fully automatic model costs extra. If shifting gears is a concern, ask about the vehicle type and price before you agree to an upgrade at check-in. Some riders also choose a private tour for more freedom and a less hurried pace, but that costs extra and is not the standard arrangement.

This is an off-road ride, not a smooth sightseeing drive. One family group noted that the trails felt tough on a sensitive back, so consider your comfort with bumpy terrain before booking. Safety and equipment matter here. At check-in, confirm that your assigned vehicle is in working order and ask the guide about any equipment you are unsure of before the group sets off.

The scenery is a major part of the ride. You get the contrast of sand, desert hills, and Pacific cliffs, with a photographer taking pictures along the way. You cannot bring a phone or camera on the tour, so do not count on taking your own snapshots from the route. That policy is firm, and you will need to decide in advance if the professional photo package is worth paying for.

Tequila tasting as a quieter finish

The tasting rounds out a tour built around movement and noise. It offers a chance to hear about tequila and try it, even if you usually prefer another drink. Some people who expected not to like tequila have found a style they enjoyed, but there is no need to buy a bottle or treat the tasting as the main event.

If you want photos of the camel ride or UTV course, the on-site photographer sells packages after the tour. Prices have been quoted differently, so ask to see the full price and what is included before you decide. You may prefer to skip the purchase, especially after paying for transport, the entrance fee, and any vehicle-related extras.

The real price, beyond the $109 fare

At $109 per person, the combo can be fair value if you want both animal and motorized activities in one outing. The price includes round-trip transportation, a guided camel ride, a shared UTV for two or an individual ATV for a solo booking, and a tequila tasting. The professional photographer is part of the experience, but the images cost extra.

Budget another $25 per person for the stated Los Cabos entrance fee. Liability insurance is listed as optional and payable at check-in, with a credit card. In practice, insurance arrangements have caused confusion: some check-ins have involved a separate charge or a substantial card hold, described in some cases as $750. Ask the operator before departure what the policy is, what amount may be charged or held, and what happens if the vehicle is damaged.

A private tour is an upgrade, not an inclusion. An automatic ATV also costs extra. Tips, souvenirs, drinks, and photo packages are additional, so carrying some cash is sensible. I would treat the advertised fare as the starting price, not the final total, and ask for a clear breakdown before authorizing a card charge.

Pickup, timing, and the size of the group

Shared round-trip pickup is offered from hotels, villas, and the cruise port in Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. Confirm the pickup time and location with the supplier after booking. You can also make your own way to the starting point if you prefer.

The tour itself is listed at about three hours, but that estimate does not make a reliable promise about the total time away from your hotel. Shared transport can be delayed by traffic or by stops for other participants. One especially poor experience involved a pickup more than an hour late, followed by a long wait to join a later tour. Other outings have had smooth, timely transport. The difference matters if you have dinner plans, a cruise departure, or another activity booked for the same day.

The maximum group size is 50, so this is not a private or intimate outing by default. A busy check-in area and several groups moving through the same operation can make the start feel less personal. If avoiding waits and having more control are priorities, ask in advance about private transportation or the private tour upgrade, and confirm the cost rather than deciding under pressure at the desk.

Practical points before you book

Keep your phone and camera at the hotel or in the locker provided. They are not allowed on the excursion for safety reasons, and the tour’s photographer is the only way to get pictures during the rides. If taking your own photos is important, the no-phone rule may be a deal-breaker; a private upgrade has been suggested as a way to use a phone, but confirm that directly before booking rather than relying on assumptions.

Wear clothing you are comfortable getting dusty, and bring extra money for the entrance fee and any purchases you choose to make. The tour is offered in English, service animals are allowed, and most people can participate. Still, ask the operator about personal mobility or health concerns, especially if rough trails or mounting a camel may be difficult for you.

The experience requires good weather. You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time; cancellations made inside that window are not refundable, and changes within 24 hours are not accepted. If poor weather forces the operator to cancel, you are offered another date or a full refund.

Who should book this Cabo combo?

I would book this if you want an active outing that packs several distinctly different experiences into one half-day: a camel ride, a desert UTV or ATV route, beach views, and a tequila tasting. It suits couples, friends, and families who are comfortable with shared transport, possible dust and bumps, and a busy operation. The guides are a real part of the appeal, with names such as Rafael, Bruno, and Pancho singled out for warmth and humor.

I would think twice if you want a quiet beach day, a long camel trek, a small group, or a simple all-in price. The extra charges and strict camera policy can sour an otherwise enjoyable outing if they come as a surprise. Before you book, get the pickup details, total expected fees, insurance terms, and vehicle type in writing. If those answers feel clear and the two-ride format sounds fun, this can be a memorable way to see Migriño. If not, choose an excursion with fewer add-ons and a slower pace.
