It was a little bit farther from our hotel than I would have liked but I could live with that. As soon as we got checked in we were ready to go. It was me, my wife, and one other person. The ride itself was so so for us. Riding a camel was unique but it felt a lot like riding a horse which I’ve done a lot. Being up that high in the beginning was…”

“Overall, we had a great experience. The only minor downside was that check-in took a bit longer than expected — around 20 to 30 minutes — as we thought we could start the activities right away. Everything else was excellent, especially the camel ride. The camels looked very well cared for, healthy, and calm, which we really appreciated. One small suggestion would be to offer free Wi-Fi for guests, which would make the experience even more convenient.”

12.Camel Ride & Off-Road UTV Combo Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 165 reviews · 3 hours · from $118

Ride a camel beside Cabo’s Pacific beaches, then drive a UTV through Baja mountain trails, canyons, dunes, and Migriño Beach. Guides such as Hector, Enrique, Johari, Luis, and Noel lead the activity in English or Spanish. Hotel pickup, equipment, and transport are included, but add the park fee and possible insurance cost.

“The kids loved the camels, although the camel portion of the combo tour seemed pretty short. The UTV was incredible, and Zatina couldn’t be better. He was amazing. The only issue I had was that we had no time to view our photos to consider buying photo package if we liked them. The transport back to the port came within only 5-10 minutes, leaving no time to find out. We wish we had a chance to see the pictures from this memorable time, which soured our experience just a little bit.”
