“This tour was amazing, so fun, knowledgeable, organized, professional, and surrounded by the most beautiful scenery! The driver was very punctual, picked us up right at our hotel, and drove us 45 mins to the ranch. The camels were so calm, healthy, well behaved, and treated properly by staff. Seeing how much they cared for the camels was very wholesome and def gave us peace of mind. The camel ride itself was about 25 mins on the beach and we were allowed to take pics and record with our phones during the ride which we appreciated! The only time we couldn’t use our phone was when we were having professional…”

Ride a well-trained horse through Baja desert trails and along a secluded beach near Cabo. Guides such as Reyes and Victor suit the pace to your group. Hotel pickup, safety gear, water, and tequila tasting are included, but add $25 for park entry and bring cash for extras.

“We booked a sunset horseback riding tour with this company, which also offers ATVs and tequila tastings. The price included hotel pickup and drop-off, which was convenient. The place itself was expected, a hut in the middle of dirt. We saw nicer spots later, but this was the first one we came across. They picked us up 3.5 hours before sunset. At check-in, a staff member told us we’d be riding for 3 hours and suggested adding ATVs for $100 to “kill time.” It felt like they planned it that way to upsell us. The beach is only a 15 minute horse ride away… they definitely didn’t have to pick…”

Guides such as Chris, Flako, David Flash, and Mr. H are praised for keeping groups moving and entertained.

“Each activities was shorter than stated. Lots of time wasted at then end just standing around. As others stated, it’s just a pit to spend more money. They convince you that you need things from their shop for the activities. They try to get you to order extra food and tequila. Everyone needs tipped. Four wheeling was probably the only activity that was actually 30 mins long. Horseback riding was MAYBE 10 minutes and the horses are aggressive with each other. My tour was at 9:30am, they picked me up from my hotel at 7:05 and dropped me off at 3:30pm… for a 4 hour activity.”

We did not receive the confirmation email until 9:04 a.m. on the morning of pickup, which was scheduled for 9:20 a.m. However, we were able to reschedule without any issues, and everything worked out well from there. When we arrived at the event, we had paid additional fees for a private tour. Unfortunately, the initial guide assigned to us, Irvin, was unresponsive and disappeared for nearly 20 minutes. We had to inquire about his whereabouts, at which point Tony stepped in as our guide. Tony was absolutely amazing and truly made up for the earlier inconvenience.

11.Horseback riding & Temazcal combo with lunch and mezcal tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 107 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $180

Ride through agave fields and along the beach, take part in a temazcal ceremony, then sit down to lunch and sample six flavored mezcals.

“Ziplining was fun, and the meal provided afterward was delicious. There were 10 in our party ages 7-adult, everyone had a great time. A word of warning: they oil the zipline cables occasionally for maintenance, well, I guess they had oiled them recently because little flecks of oil got on our clothes and faces. It did not dampen our enjoyment, but wear older clothes in case you get oil flecks on them.”
