An Exciting Mix of Beaches and Desert Trails

If you’re after a taste of Baja’s wild side, this Los Cabos 2-in-1 Combo Tour offers a practical and fun way to explore some of the most stunning natural landscapes. For just over two hours, you get to choose between riding camels or horses along pristine beaches and tackling off-road desert trails on an ATV, UTV, or electric bike. With hotel pick-up included, the tour begins smoothly, and you’ll quickly find yourself surrounded by some of the most photogenic scenery in Baja California Sur.

What makes this experience particularly appealing is the combination of relaxing beach rides with adventurous off-road driving — two very different ways to see Los Cabos. We love how the guides are described as professional and friendly, making the activities accessible whether you’re a seasoned rider or trying this for the first time. Plus, the small group size (limited to 10 participants) ensures that everyone receives attention, which is especially important when safety and guidance are a priority.

A potential consideration is the shorter activity times—each activity lasts about an hour, so if you’re expecting lengthy rides, this might feel condensed. Also, some reviews hint that the actual time spent on some activities—like the ATV or camel ride—is less than advertised, so managing expectations is wise. This tour suits travelers who want a quick, fun, and well-guided Baja adventure without a huge time commitment, ideal for those with limited days or looking for a highlight-filled experience.

In summary, if you appreciate authentic outdoor adventures, stunning scenery, and good value, this tour is a decent choice. It’s particularly well-suited for first-timers, small groups, and those eager to try multiple activities in one go.

A Closer Look at the Tour Itinerary

The tour kicks off with convenient hotel pickup, typically from locations on Calle Mariano Abasolo or on the Carretera Transpeninsular, reducing the hassle of navigating Los Cabos. Once you’re on the bus, expect a roughly 52-minute ride to the activity site, which is a good chance to get oriented and chat with fellow travelers.

The first stops involve a safety briefing lasting about 15 minutes, where guides prepare you with helmets, goggles, and bandanas, plus instructions tailored to your chosen activity — whether you’re riding a camel, horse, ATV, or electric bike. The “secret stop” includes a guided walk and a photo opportunity, offering a break to soak in the scenery. You’ll also get free time at the visitor center, perfect for snapping pictures or browsing souvenirs.

The second part of the tour involves a second activity similar in length to the first, but reviews suggest some participants felt the actual riding time was shorter than advertised. One reviewer, Christian, commented that they received “a personal adventure for free,” highlighting the guide’s attentive service. Others noted that the cost of photos offered for purchase was high, so consider whether you want to splurge on keepsakes.

The tour then returns to your hotel after a second bus ride, giving you a chance to reflect on your Baja adventure. The entire experience is designed to be manageable in two hours, making it suitable for travelers with limited time but craving a taste of Baja’s landscapes.

What to Expect During Each Activity

Beach Riding: Camels or Horses

Riding along the white sand beaches with the Pacific Ocean just beyond is a highlight. The choice between camel and horseback riding offers different vibes: camels provide a more exotic, desert-meets-beach feel, while horses feel more traditional. These rides are described as leisurely, ideal for a relaxed photo session or simply enjoying the scenery. The guides’ friendly demeanor makes even novice riders feel comfortable.

One review mentioned that the horseback ride was a favorite, with the guide Christian making it feel like a personal adventure. Expect gentle guidance, and don’t worry if you’re new — safety gear and instructions will be provided.
