Two ways to ride Cabo’s wild side. This combo tour mixes UTV off-road driving with horseback riding while you explore the rugged Los Cabos surroundings. It’s built for couples and small groups who want adrenaline, but still want a guided experience with round-trip transport.

What I like most is how practical the package is. You get round-trip transportation by air-conditioned vehicle, safety equipment, a bilingual guide, and water during the tour—so you’re not figuring things out on the fly. I also appreciate the built-in variety: 1 hour driving a UTV plus 1 hour horseback riding, with a tequila tasting as a simple extra perk.

One thing to consider: not everything is included. There’s an entrance fee at G-Force Adventures and photo/souvenir options cost extra, and upgrades (like private options) can add more money. If you go in expecting all extras to be included, you may feel annoyed when the bill grows.

Key things to know before you book

• UTV + horseback in one 2-hour outing: 1 hour driving and 1 hour riding, guided start to finish.
• Small group size (max 20): it tends to feel less like a cattle-call than bigger tours.
• Safety gear and a pro guide: you’ll get instructions, equipment, and bilingual guidance.
• Tequila tasting included: a quick local-flavor stop without needing extra tickets.
• Entrance fee and photos cost extra: plan ahead so your total matches your budget.
• Kids club and nanny service included: helpful if you’re traveling with children who need a separate area.

Cabo Combo: Horses Meet UTVs at G-Force Adventures

This is the kind of tour that makes Cabo feel less like a postcard and more like a working outdoor playground. You’re not just cruising a paved viewpoint—you’re heading into Los Cabos terrain for two guided activities that use different muscles, different skills, and different kinds of fun.

The biggest value here is the pairing. The UTV part scratches the speed-and-control itch, while the horseback part slows the pace down in a different way. That rhythm matters. A lot of Cabo activities are either purely relaxing or purely wild. This one gives you both in roughly the same time window.

You also have a real-world advantage: you’re not responsible for getting yourself to the adventure base. Hotel or port pickup is offered across Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, and the tour ends back at the meeting point.

How the 2-hour schedule really plays out

The full experience runs about 2 hours, and the “core time” is split evenly: 1 hour on the UTV and 1 hour horseback riding. Transfers are approximate, and the exact timing depends on traffic.

In practice, that means you should treat this as an active block day. You’ll likely want to schedule it with some slack before or after, especially if you’re doing it as your first major activity after landing. The driving time to/from your pickup area is part of the total experience, so your 2 hours can feel like a busy two-hour sprint rather than a slow afternoon.

The order is straightforward: you start at G-Force Adventures, handle your UTV portion, then shift into horseback riding. You’ll follow your guide’s lead and group flow at each step.

The UTV hour: lead-follow fun with built-in speed control

Your UTV portion is 1 hour of driving with safety equipment provided. If you want the thrill of off-road motorsport without learning everything from scratch, this is where the tour shines.

A key detail from recent feedback: the UTV session uses a lead-follow style, so you’re not solo-blasting around blindly. That structure tends to help you feel confident faster. One guide name that came up in reviews is Alejandra, noted for leading beginners and giving riders the space to go faster when they feel ready, and take it easy when they want.

That matters because UTV riding has two competing needs:

• You want enough speed to feel the adrenaline.
• You also need smooth pacing so you don’t feel rushed or unsafe.

If you’re comfortable following instructions and you want a guided way to enjoy Cabo’s rougher side, this UTV hour is the highlight.

Horseback riding hour: a guided ride even if you’re new

Next comes the 1 hour horseback riding experience. Your guide handles the instruction and sets the pace. That’s a big deal if horseback is new to you, because the learning curve can be steep if you’re thrown into a do-it-yourself setup.

The reviews point to guides who are patient with first-timers. One mention emphasized staff being wonderful with horses and helping riders get up to speed quickly. If you’re coming with a partner who wants horses but doesn’t have experience, this combo is a good way to keep both of you happy in the same outing.

A practical note: wear jeans and comfortable shoes as recommended. You’ll want footwear that grips and stays secure, because you’re moving with the horse at walking pace and adjusting your stance as you ride. Sunscreen is also a must—both activities are outdoors.

Tequila tasting and on-site extras: a local break, not a separate tour

This tour includes a tequila tasting. It’s not presented as a full cultural class; it’s more of a short, fun add-on that fits into the flow of your adventure day.

One review also mentioned that there’s a bar/restaurant on-site where refreshments and food are available for purchase. Since that detail isn’t part of the core “included” list, think of it as a bonus option, not a guarantee of what you’ll eat. Still, it’s useful to know: if you finish your ride and want something to drink, you may have a place to do it without leaving the property.

Price and logistics: where the real total can change

The advertised price is $125 per person for the combo. On its face, that’s strong value because it includes:

• Round-trip transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle
• 1 hour UTV + 1 hour horseback riding
• Safety equipment and a bilingual tour guide
• Water during the tour
• Tequila tasting
• Kids club and nanny service

But here’s the part you should budget for: the G-Force Adventures entrance fee is not included. The listed entrance fee is $25.00 per person.

Then there are optional add-ons. Souvenir photos are available for purchase, and there may be photo packages (professional photos in reviews were popular). One review criticized photo-related charges and upgrades, including a switch to a private tour and extra costs for entrance and pictures. I can’t confirm every detail from that account, but I can say this: you should ask two questions before the day gets rolling:

1) What entrance fees apply to my ticket?

2) What photo options are available, and how much do they cost?

Also ask whether there are any rules about phones during specific moments. One unhappy review claimed they were not allowed to bring a phone during a private upgrade process. Even if your experience is different, this is worth confirming so you don’t arrive surprised.

Pickup, meeting point, and how to plan your day

You meet at G-Force Adventures, located on Carretera Cabo San Lucas, Av. La Paz Km. 106, 23473 Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S., Mexico. The tour returns back to the meeting point.

Pickup is offered for “most hotels and villas” within Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. You’ll need to add your hotel name at booking so they can arrange transport.

Transfers are approximate and depend on traffic, so here’s a simple way to plan: build in a buffer. If you’re also doing dinner reservations, aim for something later in the evening. If you’re the kind of traveler who likes to move fast, you’ll still likely have time for a relaxed meal afterward—but try not to book something tight right after.

Who this tour fits best (and who should skip it)

This combo is ideal for:

• Couples who want different types of fun in one outing (one wants horses, one wants speed)
• People who like a structured, guided adventure rather than figuring things out alone
• Visitors who want a short, two-hour window of active outdoors time
• Families who can use the kids club and nanny service, since that’s included

It may not be ideal if:

• You want a long, slow ride with lots of downtime (this is time-efficient and active)
• You get stressed by optional add-ons and photo upsells (ask prices upfront)
• You plan to drive if you don’t meet the age requirement

One important rule: the minimum age to drive is 16. Children must be accompanied by an adult. If your group includes teens, ask ahead how they’ll handle who drives vs who rides.

Also note the tour says it’s not recommended for anyone under the effect of alcohol and/or drugs. That’s standard for safety-focused adventure activities, and it’s a good sign the operators take risk seriously.

Practical tips that make the day smoother

Here’s how to set yourself up for a comfortable (and less annoying) experience:

• Wear jeans and comfortable shoes. You’ll be moving on uneven ground and near animals, so closed-toe footwear matters.
• Use sunscreen before pickup. You’ll be outside for both activities.
• Bring your hotel name when booking so pickup is correct.
• Ask about entrances and photo costs early. The tour includes a lot, but not everything.
• Don’t assume phone access is the same everywhere. If photos matter to you, confirm the rules before you start.

If you’re the type who likes to know what your guide will do, you’re in good shape. The guide role is central here—both activities are guided with safety gear and bilingual instruction.

The bottom line: should you book this Cabo horseback + UTV combo?

I’d recommend booking if you want a straightforward adventure that’s actually two adventures, not one big one with a side activity. The balance of 1 hour UTV and 1 hour horseback riding, plus pickup, safety gear, water, bilingual guidance, and a tequila tasting, makes this a solid value for active travelers.

I’d hesitate only if you dislike extra charges for photos or upgrades. Because the experience includes an entrance fee you’ll likely pay separately, and photo packages can add up, you’ll be happiest if you go in with clear expectations.

If you want one Cabo outing that gives you speed, animals, and a guided flow without a full day commitment, this is a strong choice.
