Cabo ATV Tour & Desert Adventure by Cabo Adventures Edit listing

Cabo ATV Tour & Desert Adventure by Cabo Adventures is a three-hour guided off-road experience at Tierra Sagrada ranch, about 45 minutes north of Cabo San Lucas. The outing uses an operator-designed ATV circuit through cactus desert and mountain scenery, then finishes with a Mexican buffet and tequila tasting. Protective gear and eligible-area hotel transportation are included, from $91 per adult.

Why This ATV Tour Stands Out

• Purpose-built circuit: the ride follows a guided course at Tierra Sagrada rather than an unguided public-road route.
• Protective equipment: full-body protective gear is included for the dusty, uneven desert circuit.
• Ranch meal: the experience includes a traditional Mexican buffet, beer, fruit-infused water and tequila tasting.
• Many departure choices: the live calendar reviewed in August showed bookable times between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, depending on date.

What to Expect

1. Meet at the Cabo Adventures marina office or use an eligible hotel pickup arranged at least 24 hours ahead.
2. Travel to Tierra Sagrada ranch and pay the required entrance and damage-waiver fees at check-in.
3. Receive full-body protective equipment and instructions for the automatic ATV.
4. Follow the guide around the Sandy Snake circuit through desert vegetation, turns and changing terrain.
5. Return to the ranch for the buffet lunch, beer, fruit water and tequila tasting.
6. Use the arranged transfer back to the original pickup point after the experience.

Pricing & What's Included

Published starting price: $91 USD per adult. Required extra fees: Tierra Sagrada admission is $25 USD per adult and $12.5 USD per child; a $35 USD damage waiver is mandatory per ATV. All are paid at check-in.

Included: three-hour ATV experience, full-body protective gear, buffet lunch, beer, fruit-infused water, tequila tasting and round-trip transportation from eligible hotels when arranged in time. Photos, souvenirs, gratuities, extra alcoholic drinks and private-tour upgrades cost extra.

When Is the Best Time to Ride?

The ATV circuit operates year-round. Morning departures reduce heat exposure in warmer months; the published 4:00 PM option adds a campfire finish. Operation and pickup schedules remain subject to local conditions and availability.

Who It's For

Worth it for active travelers, families with older children and groups who want a structured desert ride with transport and a meal handled together. Participants must be at least eight and four feet tall. Drivers must be 18 or older with a valid license; passengers may ride without one.

Know Before You Go

The maximum published weight is 265 lb or 120 kg. Expectant mothers and people with back or neck issues, heart conditions, dizziness or balance problems cannot participate. Phones, cameras and GoPros are not permitted during the ATV ride. Wear long pants, closed athletic shoes and clothes that can get dusty; bring a change of clothes.

Hours & Reservations

Published departure window: 9:00 AM–4:00 PM, date dependent. Book at least 24 hours ahead for eligible hotel transport. Guests at private villas or Airbnbs select “No Hotel” and meet at Cabo Adventures, Boulevard Paseo de la Marina Lt 7-A, Marina, Cabo San Lucas, at the time in the confirmation.
