More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start with salt on your lips and the engine's low growl underfoot—San José del Cabo slips away as three Can-Am Maverick X3s bite into hard-packed desert and drift onto coastal gravel. The route alternates between tumbleweed-dusted washes and open viewpoints where the Sea of Cortez stretches silver and glassy to the horizon.

Wildlife
History
Baja’s modern off-road culture grew from local desert racing traditions like the Baja 1000, layered atop centuries of coastal fishing and ranching life in San José del Cabo.
Conservation
The desert and coastal ecosystems are fragile—stay on designated tracks, pack out all trash, and avoid driving in marked wildlife or nesting areas to reduce habitat disturbance.
Reserve your spot on the Private UTV Off Road Experience in Cabo today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Secure loose gear
Use dry bags and secure camera mounts—whoops and jumps can easily fling unsecured items from the cab.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Carry electrolytes and sip regularly; intense sun and vibration accelerate dehydration even on easy drives.
Protect against the sun
Wear a brimmed hat under your helmet, UV sunglasses and SPF 30+; sun reflects off sand and sea intensifying exposure.
Follow your guide’s line
Stick to the guide’s instructions for passing, braking points and dune crossings to reduce risk and environmental impact.
Closed-toe, grippy shoes
Protects your feet during entry/exit and provides stability on loose sand and metal footrests.
Polarized sunglasses
Reduces glare from sand and sea and improves visibility when negotiating washouts and whoops.
High SPF sunscreen and lip balm
Long sun exposure on open desert roads requires reliable UV protection.
Small dry bag for electronics
Keeps phone, camera and documents safe from dust and accidental splashes at beach stops.
