Imagine blending the peaceful grace of riding horses along white sand beaches with the adrenaline rush of conquering rugged desert tracks on a side-by-side vehicle. This RZR and Horseback Riding Combo Adventure in Cabo San Lucas offers just that, making it an appealing option for those wanting a taste of both serenity and excitement—all in one half-day outing. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker craving off-road action or a lover of nature aiming to see Cabo’s diverse landscapes up close, this tour has a lot to offer.
What we find particularly appealing about this experience is its seamless combination of two popular land adventures—a chance to enjoy picturesque coastal views from horseback and then switch gears to an exhilarating RZR ride through desert terrain. Plus, the inclusion of hotel pickup and drop-off simplifies logistics, especially if you’re just in town for a limited time. That said, it’s worth noting that the tour is about three hours long, which means you need to be prepared for a fairly fast-paced, but well-rounded outing. Overall, it suits active travelers and adventure lovers looking for a balanced, authentic day of Cabo exploration.

What Makes This Tour Stand Out?

The versatility of this experience is one of its strongest points. You’re not just getting an adrenaline rush but also the chance to see Cabo’s natural beauty from different vantage points. The combination of horseback riding along the white sand beaches and then driving a powerful RZR through the desert, mountain, and beach areas gives a comprehensive sense of Baja’s landscapes in just a few hours.
The scenic horseback ride along the Migrino desert and beach is a highlight. Many reviews mention how this part of the tour provides “Instagram-worthy” moments—horses against the backdrop of turquoise waters and wide-open sands. Guides typically give a brief orientation and are eager to share insights about native plants or local natural features, adding an educational touch to the experience.
Switching to the RZR adventure, you’ll experience some of the same tracks used in the famous Baja 1000 race. This off-road leg promises a thrilling ride over dry riverbeds, sandy dunes, and rocky trails. For many, it’s the definite adrenaline punch of the day, with guides taking you over terrains that test your driving skills and push your limits. This part is especially praised for its variety and excitement.
