Horseback Riding Between Desert and Sea Edit listing

Horseback Riding Between Desert and Sea is a two-hour guided ride across the dunes, desert trails and Pacific shoreline at Cactus Tours in Migriño. The published price is $125 USD per adult and $62.50 per child through age 11, plus a mandatory $25 park entrance fee per person. Round-trip transportation, helmet, guide, lockers and water are included.

Why This Ride Stands Out

• Desert-to-ocean scenery: the route crosses sandy trails and dunes before reaching views of the Pacific shoreline.
• Suitable for new riders: the operator assigns horses according to experience and provides a riding and safety introduction before departure.
• Practical inclusions: round-trip transportation, helmet, guide, lockers and drinking water are part of the published experience.
• Private upgrade: a private ride and personalized guide are available as optional services; confirm the additional price directly with the operator.

What to Expect

1. Use the included transportation or arrive at the Cactus Tours park in Migriño for check-in.
2. Meet the guide, receive a helmet and be paired with a horse based on your riding experience.
3. Complete an introduction to riding technique and the operator's safety rules.
4. Follow the guide through desert terrain, dunes and the Pacific beach area without entering the ocean.
5. Return to the park, store or collect belongings from the lockers, and use the return transfer.

When Is the Best Time to Ride?

The operator publishes departures every hour from 9:00 AM through 4:00 PM and does not publish a seasonal closure, so the ride is treated as year-round. Conditions are exposed and weather-dependent; choose a time based on heat tolerance and confirm the day's operating conditions before leaving.

Who It's For

Worth it for couples, families, beginners and travelers who want an accessible land adventure with both desert and ocean scenery. The stricter minimum age shown on the operator's page is seven, while the detailed reservation tab also displays six; use age seven as the conservative threshold and confirm directly for a younger child. The maximum published age is 70, minimum height is 1.20 m (3 ft 11 in), and maximum weight is 110 kg (240 lb).

Know Before You Go

Wear sporty clothing, closed-toe shoes and sunscreen. Pregnant guests and people with back or neck problems may not participate. Phones, cameras and electronic devices are prohibited during the shared activity, although hands-free GoPro-style cameras are allowed. The optional private tour permits phone and camera use. The operator prohibits swimming or ocean entry because of strong currents and surf.

Hours & Reservations

Published departures: hourly from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Location: Carretera Federal 19 KM 100, Migriño, 23597 Cabo San Lucas, BCS. Reserve on the specific official tour page and confirm pickup time after booking.

For full-payment bookings, the operator publishes refund eligibility more than 48 hours before the activity, less applicable administrative fees. Cancellations within 48 hours, late arrivals and no-shows are not refundable. Weather or operational cancellations may be rescheduled or refunded.
