Swap the hotel pool for wind and sand: a two-hour side-by-side tour that threads desert trails, dunes and beachfront ridgelines outside Cabo. No prior ATV experience required—just a driver’s license and a taste for off-road fun.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Head out from Cabo’s hotels as the Pacific wind pushes sand across an open track and the Sea of Cortez flashes to your right. You’ll strap into a single-seat side-by-side, meet bilingual guides, and leave pavement for a route that alternates hard-packed desert trails, rolling dunes and stretches of white-sand beach. The machines hum; the landscape tests your focus and rewards quick turns with ocean vantage points.
