Baja Off-Road Adventure and Cabo Pulmo Diving — Maverick Rides & World-Class Reefs
Select participants and date
The afternoon sun bakes the arroyo as you fire up a 2025 Maverick X3 Turbo RR. Engine growl and suspension hum set the pace; sand and scrub rush past in a low, dusty blur. Then, almost as an exhale, the desert opens onto a crescent of sand and the Pacific—Cabo Pulmo’s water shimmering like glass, daring you to step from dune to dive.

Adventure Tips
Bring a certification card
If you’re a certified diver, bring your card and logbook—guides will ask and it speeds up your briefing and in-water time.
Hydrate early and often
Desert heat plus physical exertion and salty air increases dehydration—carry at least 1.5–2 liters and refill when you can.
Wear reef-safe sunscreen
Apply mineral or reef-safe SPF before entering the water to protect marine life and prolong your skin’s comfort under the sun.
Choose closed-toe, quick-dry shoes
Trails and vehicle ingress/egress are rough; quick-dry shoes protect feet on landings and while walking on hot sand.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- schooling jacks and parrotfish
- green sea turtles and occasional rays
History
Cabo Pulmo’s marine reserve was established after local fishers and scientists pushed for protection in the 1990s; the park is a rare success story of ecological recovery in the Gulf of California.
Conservation
Strict no-take rules in the park helped rebuild fish populations; visitors are asked to avoid touching coral, use reef-safe sunscreen, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
