Camels and 4X4 in one Cabo outing. This combo pairs a calm beach camel ride with a more adrenaline-heavy Baja off-road run, plus a Mexican meal and tequila tasting.

I like the way the Migriño Beach camel portion feels grounded and scenic, guided by people who really know camel behavior. I also like the stop for tacos and tequila, where guides such as Baltazar and Tony are praised for making the tasting part more than just a quick pour.

Before you go, plan for the money side. You should budget extra for a $25 park entrance fee per person, possible liability insurance, and souvenir photos that cost extra, with phone and camera limits during the ride.

Key Things to Know Before You Go

• Two styles of riding in one trip: calm camel safari first, then ATV/UTV 4X4 time through Baja desert terrain.
• Migriño Beach is the common thread: you’ll see the coast from the camel portion and again during the off-road run.
• Guides you might get: Eduardo, Ramon, Baltazar, Tony, Rudy, Billy, and Rzer are all named in guest comments for strong camel or tequila storytelling.
• Meal and tequila are included: expect a Mexican buffet and a tequila tasting stop.
• Photo options are not free: you’ll have professional photos available for purchase, and you may not be able to film with your phone normally.
• It’s not just one fixed vehicle type: you’ll get a side-by-side UTV (double) or single/double ATV, and some riders report manual vs automatic choices may cost extra.

Cabo Combo in Two Acts: Camel Safari First, 4X4 Second

This tour is built like a split personality. You start on the ranch and ease into the day with a camel riding safari, then you switch gears to off-road driving on ATV or a side-by-side UTV. The timing usually lands around 2 to 3 hours total, with eight departure times daily, which helps if you’re juggling a cruise shore schedule.

You’ll travel with shared round-trip transportation (pickup offered), and your spot is handled through a mobile ticket. Then it’s straight to the action: certified guides run the camel part, and the safety setup is included before the ATV/UTV portion.

Where this combo shines is that it gives you variety without sending you across town for separate tours. Where it can feel frustrating is the add-ons and photo costs, especially if you’re trying to capture everything yourself.

Migriño Beach Camel Ride: What You Actually Get Out of It

The first act is the camel ride along Migriño Beach on the Pacific side. The guides walk you through camel behavior and what to expect, which matters more than you’d think. Camels are big, and their moves are different from horses. Good guidance helps you feel steady, not awkward.

Depending on the season, you may also catch views of mountain ranges and fields of wildflowers. Even if you don’t hit peak bloom, you’re still riding beside the coast with ocean air and wide open views—easy on the senses after the drive.

I like that this part isn’t sold as just a photo prop. There’s a real “here’s how the animal works” angle, and guests specifically praised guides like Eduardo for first-timer-friendly explanations. Others also pointed out that Ramon is a pro at making the combo ride work smoothly.

One practical note: the camel segment can feel shorter than you want if you’re hoping for a long, leisurely ride. The good side is that the day keeps moving, and you’re not stuck waiting around for the next activity.

Baja Desert ATV/UTV Run: Picking the Right Ride Mode (and Avoiding Breakdowns)

After the camel portion, you switch to ATV or a side-by-side UTV. You’ll get safety equipment and instruction, then head out through rugged Baja desert terrain with stops that include white sand dunes near Migriño Beach and ocean-side cliff views along the route.

This is where the adrenaline comes in. If you’ve never driven an ATV or UTV, expect bumpy sections and some concentration. If you have experience, you’ll still appreciate the guided route because you’re not guessing where the best dune views are.

One thing to plan for: not every ATV is the same. Some guest comments mention that the included ATV may be manual/gear shift, and switching to an automatic option can add an extra fee (reports range from about $50 to $80 depending on the situation). Also, some people reported ATV issues like breakdowns mid-ride. That’s not something you can predict, but it’s worth keeping in mind if you hate downtime.

If you want less stress, consider the side-by-side UTV if it’s available for your group. A UTV can feel more stable and social because you’re riding with a partner in a more “car-like” setup. Your exact option depends on what you’re assigned that day, but the tour states it offers Sxs double UTV and single/double ATVs.

Mexican Buffet and Tequila Tasting: A Real Stop, Not Just a Photo Pause

Between the two riding portions, you’ll get a Mexican buffet and a tequila tasting. This is one of the better value pieces of the day because it breaks up the riding with something tangible.

Guests praised the food as excellent and noted that the tasting included multiple tequilas rather than a single quick sip. Billy got called out for making the group comfortable and fun, and Baltazar was specifically mentioned for a strong tequila tasting experience.

Here’s the practical angle: if you’re the type who wants to remember the flavors, you’ll enjoy this stop. If you’re expecting a full tequila masterclass with large pours and time to compare every category, the tasting may feel more like a guided introduction than a deep education.

Also remember the tour’s phone rules. You may not be able to casually record on your phone during parts of the experience, so plan to be present for the tasting and the food rather than turning it into a constant “record mode.”

Price, Add-On Costs, and Photo Fees: Do the Math Up Front

The headline price is $118.00 per person, and on paper, it bundles a camel ride, off-road driving, safety gear, a meal, and tequila tasting. That can be solid value—especially if you would otherwise book camel riding and ATV separately.

But you should budget for the extras listed in the tour details, and also the extras some riders report encountering. The biggest items to expect are:

• Park entrance fee: $25 USD per person

Some guests reported this is collected in cash USD, which is worth planning for if you don’t want last-minute stress.

• Liability insurance: $45 USD per vehicle or a credit card hold

This isn’t a small line item. It depends on your vehicle assignment and how the provider processes it.

• Souvenir photos: $20 USD per digital photo

The professional photographer is included, but buying photos is not. Reports mention prices like $20 per digital photo and packages that can run well above that for multiple images.

Then there’s the phone/camera rule: for safety reasons, cell phones and cameras are only allowed with GoPro-type mounts during the tour. In real life, that means you might have to surrender your normal camera habit and let the guide and photographer handle the action shots. If you’re hoping for lots of high-quality personal footage, bring the right mount—or accept that most of what you’ll keep might be the paid photos.

This is the area where guest satisfaction splits. People who love the riding and don’t mind paying for a small set of photos tend to feel good about the value. People who hate paying repeatedly for add-ons tend to walk away annoyed. If you set your expectations now, you’ll have a better time later.

Safety Gear, Phone Rules, and Comfort Tips (No Surprises)

You get all safety equipment and instruction, and that’s the baseline you want for off-road riding. Still, it helps to show up ready.

Think about these realities:

• You’ll be in motion, so wear something that stays put.
• You’ll likely be asked to follow safety directions quickly, especially around where you drive or how you film.
• Phone and camera restrictions mean you may not be able to record like normal unless you use a GoPro-type mount.

Also check the weight limit: 274 lbs (140 kg) per person. That matters for ATV seating and ride comfort. If someone in your group is near that limit, you’ll want to plan early so the day doesn’t become an argument at check-in.

The tour does say most travelers can participate, and service animals are allowed, which is a plus for accessibility planning. It also notes it’s near public transportation, though most people will use the provided shared pickup/transport.

Finally, if you’re sensitive to heat or sun, remember this happens in Cabo. Bring sunscreen and light protection. The guides provide what they provide, but you’re still the one wearing it.

Who This Tour Fits Best (and Who Might Skip It)

This combo is best for you if you want:

• Variety in one morning/afternoon: camel ride plus ATV/UTV driving.
• A mix of calm animal time and fast off-road time.
• A built-in meal and tequila tasting so you’re not hunting food afterward.

It’s also a great pick for first-time Cabo visitors who want to see more than just downtown. And if your group likes photo memories, the included photographer can be a convenient shortcut—just know photos cost extra.

You might want to look elsewhere if:

• You strongly dislike surprise fees and photo upcharges.
• You need to film nonstop with your phone during the ride (because the tour restricts normal phone/camera use).
• You hate any chance of downtime, since some riders reported ATV issues like breakdowns.

If your group is split—some people want calm and others want speed—this tour can balance that better than a single-activity excursion.

Should You Book This Cabo Camel + UTV Combo?

I’d book it if you go in with a simple plan: treat the $118 price as the entry fee, and budget extra for the park entrance, potential insurance, and photos. If that math works for your group, the day can feel like a “two-for-one” experience—calm camel time plus a real Baja driving session—without extra transportation hassles.

I would pause if you’re on a tight budget or you’re photo-focused but don’t want to pay for pictures. In that case, the phone restrictions and add-on costs can take the shine off the experience.

If you do book, do yourself a favor: bring some cash for the park entrance if you prefer not to risk it, and decide ahead of time whether you want to purchase any of the professional photos. Then you’ll spend your energy enjoying the ride instead of doing surprise math at the counter.
