REVIEW · CABO SAN LUCAS
Los Cabos – COMBO Horseback Riding & ATV Tour
Book on Viator →Operated by G-Force Adventures · Bookable on Viator
ATVs, horses, and tequila in Cabo. You get a two-for-one dose of Baja adventure plus beach time. It’s a Los Cabos ATV + horseback riding combo with round-trip pickup, safety gear, and included food.
I like how the ATV setup is built for beginners. The machines are automatic, and your guide gives instructions plus helmet and goggles before you head into canyons and desert trails. I also love that you switch gears afterward to a calm horseback ride along Playa Migriño’s white sand.
One thing to plan for: the advertised price doesn’t cover everything. You’ll have mandatory entrance fees and you should expect collision insurance as an extra cost at the start.

Key Things That Make This Combo Tour Worth Your Time

- Automatic ATV for first-timers: you’re driving in control, without needing gear-shifting skills
- About 1 hour on the ATV: you’ll get real riding time, not just a short loop
- Horseback on white sand at Playa Migriño: the contrast is part of the charm
- Tequila tasting + buffet included: you’re fed, not just “snacked”
- Small-ish group max 20: it feels more organized and less crowded
- Kids club and nanny service included: families can plan around real attention spans
The Real Pitch: One Tour, Two Very Different Moods

This is a classic Cabo combo for people who want variety without stacking two separate activities. You’ll start in the Cabo San Lucas area and spend part of your time on off-road ATV trails, then shift to a slower, scenic horseback moment on the beach.
The ATV portion is the thrill part. You’ll ride through rugged Baja terrain like narrow riverbeds, sand creeks, canyons, and mountain routes with big Pacific Ocean views. If you’re lucky, your guide may point out migrating whales from the right vantage points.
Then the tour slows down on purpose. Horseback riding here is described as peaceful along Playa Migriño’s white sandy shore. That change of pace matters. Off-road days can be loud and dusty; the beach ride helps your body reset before food and tastings.

Tour Adventures Park: Lions, Machines, and the Quick Safety Reset
Your day starts with pickup from many hotels and villas in Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. From there you head to Tour Adventures Park, where you’ll get a first look at what’s waiting: rare white lions and the ATVs you’ll be riding.
Before you go anywhere, you’ll receive equipment and instructions. You’ll get a helmet and goggles, and you’ll be walked through how the ATV works. The vehicles are described as “luxury” and “fully automatic,” with hydraulic brakes and independent suspension—details that usually translate into a smoother ride over rough ground.
One small note from real-world experience: white lions aren’t guaranteed to be on view at every moment. I’ve seen people come expecting to see them and be told they weren’t available during their visit. If seeing the lions is a big deal for you, treat it as a bonus, not a must-do checkbox.
After that prep, the group lines up for the riding portion. You’ll travel with an expert guide, and the route is designed to be exciting while still guided and controlled—important if you’re new to ATVs.
The ATV Ride Through Baja: Canyons, Sand Creeks, Ocean Views

This is the core highlight for most people. You’re promised about 1 hour of driving on a single or double ATV (based on your preference). It’s long enough to feel like you actually rode, not just tested the controls for ten minutes.
What makes the ride interesting is the mix of terrain. You’re not just driving in one type of dirt path. You’ll go through narrow riverbeds and sand creeks, plus canyon and mountain sections where the view opens toward the Pacific Ocean. If whale watching is on your Cabo wishlist, the tour includes the possibility of spotting migrating whales while you’re out there, though it’s weather-and-timing dependent.
Also pay attention to the machine design. Since the ATV is automatic with hydraulic brakes and independent suspension, it tends to be easier to focus on steering and the scenery. That matters if you’re doing this as a first ATV experience or you’re traveling with someone who’s a little nervous.
Practical tip: Baja dust and sun can be a lot. I recommend wearing clothes you don’t mind getting dusty and considering something to cover your hair. One traveler specifically pointed out that covering hair and wearing darker clothes helped.
Margaritas Beach Finish: A Scenic Endpoint, Not a Rush Out

At the end of the ATV segment, the tour reaches Margaritas Beach in Cabo San Lucas. This matters because it gives you a natural landing point. You’re not simply dropped back at the starting area with no sense of “we’re done” or “we arrived somewhere.”
From a pacing standpoint, this finish also helps you mentally transition. ATVs get your adrenaline going; beach time makes the whole combo feel intentional. Even if you’re tired, the ocean setting makes the change feel worthwhile.
If you’re the type who likes photos, this is where you’ll probably want to slow down. You’ve just come from canyons and desert trails, and the scenery shift is dramatic.
Playa Migriño Horseback Riding: Peace, White Sand, and Whale-Watching Vibes

After the ATV, the tour includes about 1 hour of horseback riding. The key detail here is the location and the mood: horseback along Playa Migriño’s white sandy beach, described as peaceful.
This is a great pairing because it balances the off-road experience. You’ll go from bouncing over terrain to a calmer rhythm on the sand. If your group includes someone who gets motion-sick on fast rides, the horse portion often feels like a welcome reset.
One more reason this works: you’ll be in a coastal setting. Some people love that the beach ride can line up with ocean views, and in the wider tour description there’s also the whale-watching possibility. Even when you don’t spot whales, the sea air and open shoreline tend to feel special.
Your guide is the one to follow for comfort and safety. The tour description emphasizes that you’ll get instructions and that the horseback riding is part of the guided experience.

Tequila Tasting and Buffet: The Included Food Portion You’ll Actually Use

Between riding and riding again, you also get the food and the tasting. The tour includes a tequila tasting plus a buffet and refreshments, with local flavors included.
This is where the value starts to show. If you’ve ever taken an ATV tour and then been left searching for lunch afterward, you’ll appreciate having meals built in. Here, water is included too, which helps you stay comfortable between the sun, dirt, and activity.
Tequila tasting is included, but the tour info also clearly notes it’s not recommended if you’re under the effect of alcohol and/or drugs. So treat the tasting as part of a guided meal moment, not as something you stack with other drinks before you ride.
If you’re a picky eater, the buffet format is flexible—though the exact menu isn’t listed in the tour details you provided. The promise is local flavors and refreshing refreshments, so you can expect a more Mexican-style meal than a plain snack box.
Transportation, Meeting Point, and What to Bring

This tour uses round-trip transportation in a comfortable vehicle, with pickup offered at many hotels and villas in Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. The meeting point listed is at G-Force Adventures on Carretera Cabo San Lucas, Av. La Paz Km. 106, 23473 Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S., Mexico. The activity also returns to the meeting point.
Because you’re moving between beach and off-road terrain, your packing list should focus on comfort:
- Jeans and comfortable shoes are recommended
- Sunscreen is a must
- You’ll likely want something to protect your hair from sun and dust
The tour also mentions moderate physical fitness is recommended. That doesn’t mean it’s extreme, but you’ll be doing active riding and getting on and off equipment. If you have mobility limitations, plan to ask how the process works for your specific situation before booking.
Price and Value: $175 Can Be a Good Deal, With Two Important Add-Ons
The advertised price is $175 per person, and the tour runs about 2 hours. You get roughly 1 hour of ATV driving plus 1 hour of horseback riding, plus transportation, safety gear, water, tequila tasting, and a buffet.
That’s why it can feel like value: you’re paying for both experiences in one package, not paying separately for transport and meal. Also, equipment and instruction are included, which reduces the “hidden prep” costs you can run into with self-guided activities.
But don’t ignore the two add-ons:
- Mandatory entrance fees listed as $25 USD per person
- Collision insurance is not included
So your practical budget might land closer to $200+ per person before any collision insurance decision. If you’re comparing this to other Cabo ATV experiences, use the “all-in riding time” comparison, not just the starting price.
Who This Combo Tour Suits Best (and Who Should Think Twice)
This tour fits best if you want variety and you like structured fun. It’s a strong match for:
- Couples who want both thrill and a calmer second act
- Friends traveling for a single, memorable half-day plan
- Families, because kids club and nanny service are included (useful if adults want to stay fully engaged without splitting attention)
- First-timers on ATVs, since it’s automatic and guided with safety equipment
There are also clear boundaries:
- Minimum age to drive is 16
- Children must be accompanied by an adult
- The tour recommends moderate physical fitness
- It’s not recommended if you’re under the effect of alcohol and/or drugs
If your travel style is mostly low-effort sightseeing with minimal physical activity, you might feel that ATV + horse is too much in one window. But if you want active time and a payoff at the beach afterward, the combo is the point.
Booking Decision: Should You Book This Los Cabos ATV + Horse Tour?
I’d book it if you want one guided package that gives you real ATV time, a beach horseback moment, and an included meal. The strongest reasons are the automatic ATV, the full safety setup (helmet and goggles), and the fact that food and tequila tasting are included instead of tacked on later.
I’d pause if you’re trying to keep costs tightly controlled. The mandatory entrance fee and collision insurance can shift the final number. Also pause if you’re worried about dusty sun or if moderate physical activity is an issue for your group.
If you’re flexible, this is a well-rated way to cover two Cabo vibes in one outing: off-road desert energy and then beach calm at Playa Migriño.
