NEW!! Combo ATV & Horseback Ride. Beach & Desert. Tequila Tasting

A horseback ride through the desert followed by an ATV run on a Pacific beach gives you two very different ways to see the Cabo countryside in one compact outing. You start slowly on horseback, then switch to a motorized machine for more speed and free-riding time at Playa Migrino.

I like the two-part format, especially if you want variety without giving up a full day. I also like the setting: wide Pacific views, dirt roads, mountain routes, and a long beach make this more than a ride around a small fenced course. Guides José and Chino have been praised for patient instruction, safety, and a good sense of humor.

The main catch is cost clarity. The $116 price does not include the $25 Playa Migrino entrance fee, and collision insurance is optional at $25 for a single ATV or $35 for a double. The tour title mentions tequila tasting, but the supplied details do not say when it happens or whether it is included, so confirm that before booking.

Key points to know before you book

• Horseback first, ATV second: You get one hour on horseback and one hour on an ATV, with the order built around a visit to Migrino Beach.
• Migrino is the star setting: Expect open Pacific shoreline, desert roads, mountain routes, and plenty of room for photos.
• Good guide support: José is described as accommodating, while Chino is known for humor and adapting quickly to the group.
• Extra fees affect the real price: Add the $25 entrance fee, plus optional collision insurance if you want it.
• Transport is included: Round-trip transportation and bottled water are provided, with pickup details sent by email and text.
• It suits active visitors: You need a moderate level of physical fitness, and the total outing lasts about two and a half hours.

Two rides, one Pacific beach

This tour works because it avoids making you choose between a quiet animal ride and a noisy off-road adventure. The horseback portion gives you time to notice the desert, while the ATV section brings speed and a little more freedom.

You begin at the Real Baja Tours meeting point at Pozo Cota on the Carretera a Todos Santos near Migrino. Round-trip transportation is offered, so you do not need to arrange your own ride to the ranch if your pickup location is accepted. Your exact pickup time arrives by email and text, and you are asked to confirm that you received it.

The advertised duration is about two hours and thirty minutes. The riding itself is listed as one hour on horseback and one hour on an ATV. Allow some flexibility around those blocks for transport, preparation, instructions, and the entrance process.

The horseback route to Migrino Beach

The first hour takes you from the ranch along dirt roads and through wild desert scenery toward the Pacific. This part should appeal to you if you enjoy seeing a place at a slower pace rather than racing from one photo stop to another.

The route ends at Migrino Beach, described as a broad stretch of Pacific shoreline. That setting gives the horseback ride a clear purpose. You are not simply circling a property. You are moving from the inland desert toward open ocean and a large strand of beach.

Horseback riding still requires physical effort, even at a calm pace. You should be comfortable sitting in the saddle for an hour and following the guide’s directions. The tour asks for moderate physical fitness, so it is not presented as a passive sightseeing ride.

If this is your first time on a horse, tell the guide. The available information does not promise a beginner-only pace, but José has been praised for patient instruction, and the tour includes a bilingual guide. That combination may help, though you should still be honest about your experience and comfort level.

The desert section is also likely to be the quieter half of the outing. You have time to take in the dirt roads and ocean approach before the ATV engines change the mood. I like that contrast. It makes the two-hour ride package feel more varied than a single-activity tour.

ATV riding beside the Pacific

After the horseback ride, you switch to an ATV for about an hour of motorized fun. The route takes you through the mountains and along the beaches, with free-riding time at Migrino Beach for photos and additional driving.

That free time matters. Many ATV tours keep you in a tight line behind a guide, with little chance to stop and enjoy the setting. Here, the description promises time to play and take pictures on the beach. The exact amount of freedom will depend on the guide, safety rules, and conditions, but the format is clearly meant to feel more active than a short demonstration ride.

The Pacific view is one of the strongest reasons to choose this outing. Cabo is known for its famous rock formations and resort coast, but this activity takes you away from the central hotel zone toward Migrino. You get dirt roads, mountains, open sand, and ocean rather than a city-based attraction.

An ATV ride is louder, faster, and dustier than horseback riding. You receive goggles and bottled water, both useful on a dry off-road route. Wear clothing you do not mind getting dirty, though the supplied information does not specify a dress code.

Guide quality can make a major difference here. José has been described as nice and accommodating, while Chino is praised for being funny and quickly picking up on the group’s humor. The strongest practical message is that you should expect help with the riding rather than being left to figure everything out alone. A guide was also praised for explaining details clearly and showing patience during both the horse and ATV portions.

What your $116 really covers

The listed price is $116 per person. That is a reasonable starting point for a two-activity outing with round-trip transport, but it is not the final amount you should budget.

Included items are:

• One hour of horseback riding
• One hour of ATV riding
• A bilingual tour guide
• Bottled water
• Round-trip transportation
• Goggles

The Playa Migrino entrance fee is an additional $25 per person. That brings the basic outing to $141 before any optional insurance or other personal spending.

Collision insurance is also separate. It costs $25 for a single ATV or $35 for a double ATV. Since the supplied details do not explain the insurance terms, ask what it covers and whether the price applies per vehicle or per person before you decide.

The value is strongest if you want both activities and would otherwise book them separately. You are paying for two different rides, transport, equipment, and guide support in a short time. The value is weaker if you mainly want a long ATV trip, since only about one hour is allocated to the ATV portion.

The title also mentions a tequila tasting. Yet the detailed inclusions do not list tequila, and the route description does not explain where tasting fits into the schedule. I would ask the operator to confirm three points: whether tasting is part of this exact package, whether it is included in the price, and whether it replaces any riding or adds time.

Guide support and group size

The tour can have up to 40 people. That is a fairly large maximum for an activity involving horses and ATVs, though you may not be placed in one single riding group. The supplied details do not explain how the group is divided, so ask if group size matters to you.

A bilingual guide is included, and the activity is offered in English. This is useful when instructions involve animals, vehicles, beach routes, and safety procedures. Good communication matters more here than on a simple scenic transfer.

The individual guide names connected with the experience are José and Chino. José has been praised for being very nice and accommodating. Chino has been praised for his humor and ability to match the group’s mood. A photographer named Antonio has also been praised for doing an excellent job.

Photography is not listed as included, so treat Antonio’s service as an available part of the operation rather than something guaranteed in the package. If photos matter to you, ask about the cost and delivery before you ride.

Who will enjoy this most

I would recommend this to you if you want an active Cabo outing but do not want to spend an entire day on one machine. The combination works well for couples, families, and friends with different interests. One person may prefer horses, another may prefer ATVs, and both get a meaningful portion of the day.

It also suits first-time riders who want guide assistance. The experience has been described as safe and suitable across a broad age range, but that does not remove the need for moderate fitness or comfort with outdoor activity.

You may want a different tour if you dislike dust, engines, animals, or changing activities. You should also think twice if you want a long, relaxed beach visit. Migrino Beach is part of the route, but the outing is built around riding, not sitting by the water for hours.

The two-and-a-half-hour length makes it easy to fit beside other Cabo plans. Pickup times are confirmed by email and text, so check those messages carefully. If your location does not appear on the pickup list, the operator says it will contact you to arrange transportation.

Practical details that affect the day

Confirmation is provided at booking. Service animals are allowed, and the meeting point is near public transportation. The activity ends back at the starting point.

You should be ready for a physically active morning or afternoon. The route includes dirt roads, desert terrain, mountains, beach riding, and two different forms of transport. Bring your sense of adventure, but also keep your expectations practical: this is a guided recreational ride, not a technical off-road course.

Weather matters. If poor weather forces cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are not refunded or accepted, based on local time.

Should you book the combo ride?

Book it if you want a compact, active outing with strong scenery and two distinct rides. Migrino Beach gives the day its character, and the shift from horseback to ATV keeps the pace fresh. The patient, friendly guide style associated with José and Chino is another reason this may work well for first-timers.

Before paying, confirm the full cost, the pickup time, the group arrangement, and the tequila tasting details. Once you add the $25 entrance fee and possible insurance, the price is higher than the headline figure.

My call: this is a good choice for an active Cabo day when you value variety more than maximum riding time. It is less suitable if you want a long ATV expedition, a quiet beach stop, or a package with no add-on charges.
