1.Cabo Migrino Beach and Desert ATV Tour plus Tequila Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,367 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $75Our pick

Ride an ATV through Migrino’s sandy desert, dry riverbeds, mountain trails, and Pacific beach with a guide such as Javier, Alberto, or Raul. The tour includes safety gear, purified water, shared hotel transfers, and a tequila tasting. Expect an extra $25 park fee per person, optional vehicle insurance, and possible photo costs.

“We got there and yes the fee's were the same. $25/person park fee, $25/35 for insurance and depending on the availability private tour was available. I strongly recommend private guided tour since if you get stuck with slow, not similar skill level, or different expectations it can ruin your experience. My boys wanted to be more "adventurous" and Javier was able to tailor to their expectations in a safe manner. He set the expectations for safety and was very knowledgeable about ATV/UTV. Ask the Javier!!!!”
