Discover Cabo San Lucas’s Adventure Combo: Horseback Riding and Sky Biking with Cactus Tours

Imagine feeling the warm sun on your face as you ride along golden sands and rugged desert trails in Migriño, followed by the exhilarating sensation of pedaling high above the desert landscape on sky bikes. For about two hours, this tour offers a mix of outdoor adventure, stunning scenery, and relaxed fun — all for $100 a person. You’ll be transported in comfort from your hotel, equipped with safety gear, and guided by knowledgeable bilingual guides who make every step informative and engaging.
Two details stand out in this tour: the breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean from the horseback ride and sky bikes, and the family-friendly atmosphere with a kids’ club and tequila tasting. These features make it a solid choice whether you’re traveling with kids or just craving a memorable outdoor experience.
However, one thing to consider is the park’s entrance fee of $25 USD per person, which is paid on arrival, so budget that in. Also, the horseback ride is described as “very mild” in some reviews, which may be less appealing for those seeking a high-energy ride. Still, for most travelers looking for a balanced adventure with spectacular scenery, this tour hits the spot.
This experience suits travelers who enjoy outdoor activities, scenic views, and relaxed guided tours. Families, couples, or groups of friends wanting to combine adventure with leisurely exploration will likely find this trip rewarding.

When we first heard about this tour, it sounded like a well-rounded day of breathtaking sights and fun activities.

Starting Point: Convenient and Well-Organized
The tour begins with hotel pickup in San Jose del Cabo or Cabo San Lucas, a big plus for those who prefer not to worry about logistics. The ride to Cactus Tours’ park takes around 25 minutes, giving you a chance to settle in and get a sneak peek of the scenic landscape en route. Once at the park, you’ll check in, listen to a brief safety briefing, and get your gear — helmet, goggles, bandana, and water — all provided.
The Horseback Ride: Gentle and Scenic
The horseback riding experience, lasting about an hour, takes you along the pristine Migriño Beach and through desert trails. The reviews mention that the ride is “very mild,” which is perfect for beginners or those who prefer a relaxed pace. We loved the way the guides, such as Amel in one review, made the experience informative and friendly, making sure everyone felt comfortable.
While some might hope for a more energetic gallop, the focus here is the stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and the chance to connect with nature. Expect to see towering dunes, local flora, and maybe even some wildlife. The gentle ride offers plenty of photo opportunities, so be ready to capture those moments.
The Sky Biking Adventure: High Above for a New Perspective
After riding, you’ll switch gears and head to the sky biking platform, where you’ll pedal high above the desert landscape. This activity is described as exciting and totally safe, offering a different kind of thrill. The high-altitude ecological hike that follows adds a touch of nature appreciation and a relaxed walk with expert guides explaining the flora and fauna.
The sky bikes provide stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, desert, and ocean, making it an ideal spot for photos. The thrill of cycling in the air will appeal to adventure-seekers, but even those new to biking will find the experience accessible and enjoyable.
