REVIEW · CABO SAN LUCAS
NEW!! Combo ATV & Horseback Ride. Beach & Desert. Tequila Tasting
The best part of this Cabo outing is the quick change of pace: you ride a horse from a desert ranch to Migrino Beach, then trade the saddle for an ATV and spend an hour driving beside the Pacific. I like that you get two very different ways to see Baja in one 2.5-hour trip, rather than committing the whole day to one activity.
I also like the practical extras, including round-trip transportation, bottled water, goggles, and a bilingual guide. Guides such as José and Chino have been praised for being patient, funny, and attentive. The main drawback is the added cost: the $116 price does not include the $25 Playa Migrino entrance fee, and collision insurance costs extra.
Key points to know before booking

- Horseback riding leads to a wide Pacific beach: The first hour follows dirt roads through open desert before reaching Migrino Beach.
- The ATV portion includes free riding time: You drive through mountain and beach terrain, with time to stop for photos.
- The tour is active but compact: Expect about 2 hours and 30 minutes, including both one-hour activities.
- José and Chino may be among your guides: Both have been singled out for patience, humor, and good attention to safety.
- Budget for extra charges: Playa Migrino costs $25 per person, while optional collision insurance is $25 for a single ATV or $35 for a double ATV.
- The tequila tasting needs clarification: It appears in the tour name, but the supplied details do not say when it happens or what is included.
Cabo San Lucas is best known for its water, nightlife, and polished resort areas. This excursion takes you farther out, toward Playa Migrino on the Pacific side, where the scenery feels more open and rough-edged. You get desert tracks, mountain paths, a long Pacific beach, and two forms of riding in a short half-day-style outing.
The price is $116 per person. That is a reasonable amount for a combined horseback and ATV tour with transportation, but it is not the final cost. Add the $25 beach entrance fee, and decide if you want collision insurance. A single ATV policy costs $25, while insurance for a double ATV costs $35.
The tour is offered in English, with a bilingual guide included. It accepts mobile tickets, offers pickup, and can accommodate group bookings. The maximum group size is listed as 40 people, so your exact pace may depend on how many people are scheduled that day.
From the ranch to Migrino Beach on horseback
The first hour is spent on horseback. You leave the ranch and follow dirt roads through Baja’s wild desert scenery, gradually making your way toward the Pacific and Migrino Beach.
This is not presented as a short ride around a corral. The route connects the ranch with the beach, giving you a look at the dry interior before the ocean comes into view. That contrast is one of the strongest reasons to choose this tour. You begin among dusty tracks and desert plants, then reach the broad open shoreline.
You do not need to be an expert rider to consider this outing, but you should have a moderate level of physical fitness. The activity listing does not promise a beginner-only ride, and horseback riding can be tiring even when the pace is relaxed. If you are uneasy around horses or have mobility concerns, ask the operator for more details before paying.
The beach itself is the visual payoff. Migrino is described as a huge stretch of Pacific coastline, and the route gives you time to appreciate its size rather than simply arriving by vehicle and leaving at once. Bring your attention to the setting: desert behind you, ocean ahead, and a broad strand that offers plenty of room for photos.
One practical point: the $25 entrance fee is not included in the tour price. That fee applies per person, so add it to your budget from the start.

Switching from a saddle to an ATV

After the horseback portion, you move to the ATV section. The ride lasts one hour and includes driving through the mountains and along the beaches. You also get free riding time, which is important because it gives you more than a slow procession behind the guide.
The ATV portion is likely to be the more energetic half of the outing. The description specifically highlights high horsepower fun, mountain routes, beach driving, and time to play. You should expect dust, uneven ground, and a more active ride than the horseback section.
Goggles are included, which is a useful detail for an ATV tour in a dry area. You also receive bottled water, but I would still dress for sun, dust, and movement. The supplied information does not list helmets, clothing requirements, or the exact ATV model, so ask those questions when arranging your pickup if they matter to you.
The beach setting gives this part of the trip its strongest appeal. You are not simply driving around a closed track. You get the chance to ride near the Pacific and stop for photographs on the shore. That makes the experience attractive to people who want scenery as much as speed.
Still, free riding time does not mean unlimited independent driving. You remain part of a guided outing, and the pace and route will be shaped by the group. A maximum of 40 people is allowed, so the actual group size may affect how much open riding time you receive.
What the guides add to the day

A guide can make or break an activity that combines animals, vehicles, and uneven terrain. The strongest feedback here centers on the staff.
José has been praised for being very nice and accommodating during the ATV ride. That matters if you are new to ATVs or want clear help before setting off. A patient guide can also make the difference between feeling rushed and getting comfortable with the controls.
Chino has been described as funny and quick to pick up on a group’s sense of humor. That kind of personality can make a short tour feel more relaxed, especially when the group includes people with different riding backgrounds. His role also includes keeping the outing organized and helping you feel at ease.
You may not have José or Chino on your particular departure, but their mention gives you a useful sense of the service style to expect: friendly, personal, and attentive rather than strictly formal. The tour includes a bilingual guide, and it is offered in English.
A photographer named Antonio has also been praised for his work. The supplied details do not say if photography is included in the price or how images are delivered, so ask before assuming you will receive pictures. You will still want your own phone or camera for the beach stops, provided you can keep it secure during the ATV ride.
The tequila tasting question

The tour name includes tequila tasting, which may be a draw for people looking for a bit of Mexican flavor after the riding. But the detailed inclusions list does not explain the tasting, its duration, the number of samples, or whether it is included in the $116 price.
That missing detail is worth checking before you book. The ride itself is clearly described, while the tasting is not. If tequila is a key reason for choosing this activity, contact Tours Mexico and ask exactly where it takes place and if additional fees apply.
I would treat the horseback and ATV portions as the confirmed core of the trip. Consider the tasting an advertised feature that needs clarification, not a fully explained part of the schedule.

Is the $116 price a good value?

The value depends on what you want from your Cabo day. If you booked a one-hour horseback ride and a separate one-hour ATV ride, you might spend more and lose time moving between activities. Here, both are arranged as one outing, with transportation, water, goggles, and a bilingual guide included.
The extra fees make the price less simple. Your minimum likely becomes $141 per person once the $25 entrance charge is added. Collision insurance is optional, according to the supplied details, and adds $25 for a single ATV or $35 for a double ATV.
A double ATV can lower the vehicle cost for two people, but the available information does not specify whether the $35 insurance charge is per vehicle or per person. Confirm that point before booking. Also ask if the listed $116 price changes based on riding alone or sharing an ATV.
For someone who values variety, the package has good appeal. You get an hour on horseback, an hour on an ATV, transportation, and time at the beach. For someone who wants a long, leisurely horseback ride or several hours of serious off-road driving, the two one-hour blocks may feel short.
Pickup, timing, and group size

Pickup is offered, and round-trip transportation is included. Your pickup time is sent by email and text message, so check both after booking and confirm receipt. If your name does not appear on a pickup list, the instructions say not to worry because the operator will contact you to arrange transportation.
The meeting point is Real Baja Tours at Pozo Cota, Carretera a Todos Santos, Migrino, Cabo San Lucas. The activity ends back at that meeting point. That return arrangement is useful if you are driving yourself, but confirm how pickup works if you are staying in a hotel area away from the ranch.
The stated duration is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. The core riding time accounts for two hours, leaving roughly 30 minutes for transitions, instructions, transport within the site, or other stops. Do not plan another tightly timed activity immediately afterward.
The group limit is 40 people. That is a fairly large maximum for a hands-on adventure, although the actual departure could be smaller. A larger group may mean more waiting during horse assignments, vehicle setup, or beach stops. If a quiet, small-group ride is important to you, ask about the expected group size on your date.
Who will enjoy this outing most?

I would recommend this tour to you if you want a compact adventure with several settings and activities. It suits couples, families with participants who meet the physical requirements, and friends who want action without giving up the beach views.
It is also a good fit if you are visiting Cabo for a short stay. In one booking, you cover desert roads, mountain terrain, the Pacific coast, horseback riding, and ATV driving. You do not need to spend a full day on a single activity.
The tour may work for a wide age range, and one customer specifically described it as suitable for different ages. Still, the official guidance calls for moderate physical fitness. That is the more useful standard. You should be comfortable sitting on a horse, handling an ATV, and dealing with an active outdoor setting.
I would be more cautious if you dislike dust, uneven ground, animal activities, or engine noise. The tour is built around motion, not quiet sightseeing. It is also not the best choice if you need a fully itemized tequila tasting or an all-inclusive price before booking.
Service animals are allowed, and the location is near public transportation. Those details may help with planning, but they do not explain how a service animal would participate during horseback riding or ATV driving. Contact the operator before booking if that is relevant to you.
Weather, cancellation, and practical planning

This activity requires good weather. If poor weather forces a cancellation, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the experience start time. Cancellations made inside that 24-hour window are not refunded, and changes within 24 hours are not accepted. The cutoff uses local time in Cabo.
Wear clothes you can move in and shoes suitable for an outdoor ride. The supplied information does not specify required clothing or footwear, so confirm those details with the operator. Plan around sun, dust, and the possibility of getting dirty.
Keep valuables limited. The itinerary emphasizes free riding and photos, but it does not describe storage facilities. A phone with a secure case or strap is more practical than loose items in pockets.
Should you book the Migrino combo ride?
Book it if you want variety, beach scenery, and an active half-day-style outing. The strongest features are the route from desert to Pacific beach, the switch from horseback to ATV, the included transportation, and the personable guide style associated with José and Chino.
Before paying, budget for the $25 entrance fee and decide about collision insurance. Also ask for clear information about the tequila tasting, ATV sharing, safety equipment, and photography. Those details are not fully explained.
I would choose this tour over a single-activity outing if you want to sample several sides of Baja in one compact trip. I would skip it if you want a quiet beach visit, a long horseback ride, or a fully inclusive price with no add-ons.
