NEW!! Combo ATV & Horseback Ride. Beach & Desert. Tequila Tasting

Playa Migrino is the star here: you travel from desert ranch roads to a broad stretch of Pacific coast, first on horseback and then on an ATV. I like the unusual two-part ride, and I like that the hour of ATV time includes room to ride and take photos rather than simply moving from one point to another.

The main catch is the added cost: the beach entrance fee is $25 per person, and collision insurance costs extra if you choose it. Also, tequila tasting appears in the tour title but is not listed among the included activities, so confirm that detail before you pay.

The useful details at a glance

• Two rides, one outing: Plan on one hour of horseback riding and one hour on an ATV.
• Desert to Pacific shore: The horse ride follows dirt roads through wild desert scenery to Playa Migrino.
• ATV time for views: The ATV portion runs through nearby mountains and along the beach, with free ride time and chances to stop for photos.
• Budget beyond the $116 price: Playa Migrino’s entrance fee is $25 per person. Optional collision insurance is listed at $25 for a single ATV or $35 for a double ATV.
• Transport is included: Round-trip transportation, bottled water, goggles, and a bilingual guide are included.
• Check the tasting detail: Tequila tasting is named in the tour title, but the supplied activity details do not say when or whether it takes place.

From ranch roads to Playa Migrino

The outing begins at the Real Baja Tours meeting point on Carretera a Todos Santos, in the Migriño area outside Cabo San Lucas. Pickup is offered, and the operator sends the exact pickup time by email and text. If your location is not on the initial pickup list, the instructions say the operator will contact you to arrange transportation.

The first hour is on horseback. You ride from the ranch along dirt roads, through desert scenery, and toward Playa Migrino, a large Pacific beach. That change of scene is what gives the tour its shape: you do not simply arrive at the coast by vehicle and start riding. The horse section connects the inland terrain with the shore at a slower pace.

This is a guided ride, not a lesson or a private trail outing. A guide is included, and past participants have praised the patience and explanations of their guides. That can be useful if you are new to horseback riding, though the tour does not give details about horse selection, riding instruction, or the pace of the group. If those points matter to you, ask the operator before booking.

Playa Migrino is the central setting, but getting there comes with a separate $25 entrance fee per person. It is not included in the advertised $116 price. Factor it into your budget before you compare this outing with other Cabo activities.

An hour on an ATV beside the Pacific

After the horseback ride, you switch to an ATV for another hour of riding. The route takes you through the mountains and along the beach, with free ride time and opportunities to take photos. That makes the second half more active than a simple transfer back to the ranch, and gives you time to enjoy the open beach setting.

The Pacific shore is the visual payoff. The beach is described as a broad stretch of sand, and one of the strongest points of the outing is riding an ATV beside the water. You should still expect a guided activity, not an unsupervised vehicle rental: a tour guide is included, and the group can have up to 40 participants.

Goggles are included, which is a practical item for an ATV ride. Bottled water is included too. The details do not specify what clothing to wear, how much protective gear is provided beyond goggles, or whether you can choose a single or double ATV at booking. Ask if you have a preference or want to know what else to bring.

The experience is listed as suitable for people with a moderate fitness level. The two rides together add up to about two hours, within an overall tour duration of roughly two hours and 30 minutes. You will need to be comfortable getting on and off both a horse and an ATV. If you have concerns about either activity, check with the operator before you reserve.

What $116 covers, and what it does not

At $116 per person, this is a fairly full activity for a half-day slot: it combines two kinds of riding, round-trip transportation, bottled water, goggles, and a bilingual guide. The value depends on whether you want both the horseback and motorized parts. If you only want one of them, the combo may not be the best fit.

The entrance fee changes the real price. Add $25 per person for Playa Migrino, and the known total becomes $141 per person before any optional collision insurance. The insurance is listed at $25 for a single ATV and $35 for a double ATV. The information does not clarify how those vehicle charges are divided between riders, so confirm the amount for your setup.

There is also a detail worth clearing up before booking: tequila tasting appears in the tour name, but it is absent from the itinerary and the list of included items. Do not assume it is part of the outing unless the operator confirms it. That matters if the tasting is a major reason you are considering the tour.

The price is more appealing if you value having transportation arranged as well as the two activities. Getting to the meeting point from Cabo can otherwise take planning, and round-trip transport removes that task. Still, the pickup time is sent separately, so keep an eye on your email and text messages and confirm receipt as requested.

Guides, group size, and pace

The group limit is 40, which is large enough to make the outing feel like a group tour rather than a private ride. Your actual group may be smaller, but the listing does not promise that. If you prefer one-on-one attention or a quiet ride, ask how many people are booked for your date.

The guide can shape a lot of the day. José has been praised for being accommodating, while Chino has been remembered for his humor and quick rapport with the group. Those names are useful context, not a guarantee that either person will lead your departure. A photographer named Antonio has also been credited with doing a good job, but photography is not listed as an included service, so ask whether photos are available and whether there is a separate charge.

Guides have also been praised for patience and clear explanations during the horse and ATV portions. That is a welcome sign for first-timers, but it does not replace asking about safety procedures or the riding requirements if you are unsure. The activity calls for moderate physical fitness, and the information does not set out age limits or detailed accessibility rules.

The tour is offered in English, and a bilingual guide is included. Confirmation is provided at booking, and service animals are allowed. The meeting point is near public transportation, though pickup is offered if you arrange it with the operator.

Who will get the most from this ride

This combo makes sense if you want a mix of quiet scenery and a faster, more hands-on ride. The horseback hour gives you time to take in the desert approach to the beach, while the ATV adds speed and a chance to cover more shoreline. It is a good match for couples, friends, or families whose members are comfortable with both activities.

It may also suit first-timers. The guide is part of the outing, and feedback about patient explanations and a welcoming manner suggests that newcomers need not arrive as skilled riders. Still, the tour description does not promise beginner instruction, so ask how much guidance is provided if either activity is new to you.

I would think twice if you want a small-group outing, need a detailed accessibility plan, or are choosing this mainly for tequila tasting. The group cap is 40, the physical fitness guidance is moderate, and the tasting is not confirmed in the activity details. In each case, a quick question to the operator could help you decide before booking.

Weather matters too. The tour requires good weather; if poor weather cancels it, you are offered another date or a full refund. For other cancellations, you can receive a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Within 24 hours, the amount paid is not refunded, and changes are not accepted.

Should you book the Cabo horseback and ATV combo?

Book it if you want two distinct ways to reach and explore Playa Migrino, and you are comfortable paying the separate $25 entrance fee on top of the $116 tour price. The mix of desert horseback riding and ATV time by the Pacific gives the outing more variety than either activity alone.

Before you commit, confirm whether tequila tasting is actually part of your departure, ask how the ATV insurance charge applies to your choice of vehicle, and check the pickup details. If those answers work for you, this is a practical, active way to spend about two and a half hours outside central Cabo.
