COMBO Horseback Riding & UTV Tour

Two rides, one wild Cabo day. This combo at G-Force Adventures mixes 1 hour of UTV off-road driving with 1 hour of guided horseback riding, with pickup from Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. If your group has mixed tastes, this is an efficient way to satisfy both, and the bilingual team does a real job of keeping things clear and safety-first.

One thing I really liked is how the tour is built for different comfort levels, with guides like Alejandra known for helping first-timers feel steadier on the horses and confident on the UTV course. The other win is logistics, round-trip transportation plus a set, park-based schedule that keeps you from having to figure out anything on your own.

The main drawback to plan for is cost add-ons. The G-Force Adventures entrance fee is $25 per person and items like souvenir photos and optional add-ons can add up if you do not go in with a total number in mind.

Key highlights at a glance

• UTV + horses in one 2-hour window with about 1 hour of driving and about 1 hour on horseback
• Pickup from most hotels and villas in Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, round-trip included
• Bilingual guidance and safety equipment so you spend more time riding and less time guessing
• Tequila tasting plus water during the tour, a nice break from pure adrenaline
• Kids club and nanny service included, which can seriously help couples and mixed-age groups

Why this horseback and UTV combo makes sense in Cabo

Cabo is famous for beaches, but when you want something that feels more like a story than a snack stop, this UTV and horseback combo does the trick. You get two different textures of adventure. One is the motor side, dust, speed, and steering a machine with a guide. The other is the slower rhythm of horses, learning posture and control while you take in the rugged Los Cabos terrain.

I also like that the experience is packaged for couples and small groups. The tour is capped at 20 travelers, so it does not turn into a cattle-herd situation. And because it runs out of G-Force Adventures, you are not bouncing between random pick-up points. You show up, gear up, ride, and get back.

One practical reason it fits well is that it is built for beginners and mixed skill levels. Most people can participate, and the guide support is part of what makes the horses and the UTV feel doable instead of intimidating.

Getting to G-Force Adventures, and what to expect when you arrive

Your start point is G-Force Adventures, Carretera Cabo San Lucas, Av. La Paz Km. 106, 23473 Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S., Mexico. The tour includes an air-conditioned vehicle for round-trip transportation, and pickup is offered at most hotels and villas in Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo.

You will want to plan for travel time, because transfer duration depends on the time of day and traffic. The tour itself is listed at about 2 hours total, which means they are not wasting time. Expect check-in, safety briefing, then your split between UTV and horseback.

You will also use a mobile ticket, so have it ready on your phone before you meet the driver. The tour operates in English, and you get a bilingual tour guide for real-time communication, not just a quick handout.

UTV driving for 1 hour, with a course that matches your confidence

The UTV portion is about 1 hour driving, and you get safety equipment and a guide. This is one of those tours where you do not just follow a trail. You learn how to handle the UTV on the kind of rugged terrain that makes Los Cabos feel different from a beach postcard.

If you care about control, pay attention to how the course is run. The guide approach is typically a lead-follow style, which is helpful because it lets you match the pace. You can usually push when you are feeling bold, then slow down when you want to focus on lines and traction.

Who should drive? The minimum age to drive is 16. That matters if you are booking for a family. If someone in your group is younger, they may still be part of the experience, but they will not be driving the UTV.

Practical tip: wear shoes with grip and plan to get dusty. Jeans are recommended, and comfortable footwear matters more than trying to look cute. You will also be around a lot of motion, so sunscreen is not optional even if the weather looks friendly.

Horseback riding for about 1 hour, with real guidance

After the UTV, you will spend about 1 hour horseback riding. This part is guided, which is the difference between a fun ride and a stressful one. If you are new to horses, you get instructions for posture, how to hold on, and how to manage comfort while your horse moves.

I like that the tour is designed to support first-timers. Guides such as Alejandra are noted for being friendly and helpful, which is a huge deal when you are trying to relax and not think too hard. And even if you have ridden before, the guided format can keep the pace smooth.

The biggest consideration is physical comfort. Even if the ride is beginner-friendly, you will still sit upright for a bit and adjust to the horse’s movement. Wear jeans and comfortable shoes, and consider bringing a light layer if you get cool wind along the route.

You will also want to listen carefully during the briefing. Horses respond to cues, and your guide’s instructions are what keep everything moving safely and calmly.

Tequila tasting, water, and the extras that help real groups

This tour is not just adrenaline. It includes water during the tour, plus tequila tasting. That pairing is classic Cabo: a little celebratory moment right after the riding, without turning the whole tour into a party bus.

Another big plus is the inclusion of kids club and nanny service. If you have ever tried to book an adult adventure while managing kids in Cabo, you know how rare that is. Even if your kids are not joining the riding portion, the option to have supervised care can make this tour genuinely easier to pull off as a family.

On-site, there is also an area where you can grab refreshments and food according to firsthand experiences shared about this experience. The tour includes some drinks, but this is not the kind of tour where everything costs nothing beyond the ticket. If you want extra time to refuel, you might find you can.

Price and the real cost checklist before you book

At $125 per person, this is a solid value for a true combo day. You are getting round-trip transportation, safety gear, about 1 hour UTV driving, about 1 hour horseback riding, plus a bilingual guide, water, and tequila tasting.

However, I recommend you do your math with the full tour environment in mind. The G-Force Adventures entrance fee is $25 per person and it is not included in the base price. That alone is the biggest “watch this” line item.

Then there are the add-ons you might want but should not assume are included:

• Souvenir photos are available to purchase, but not included
• Optional vehicle protection is available, but not included

So here is my practical approach: decide your must-haves before you go. If you do not care about photos, skip them. If you are risk-averse and the optional vehicle coverage makes you feel better, factor that in. If you just want the riding, keep it simple and focus on the core included time.

Why this matters: combo tours can feel like bargains right up until you start seeing separate charges. Your best defense is knowing which costs are part of the program and which are optional or separate.

Who this tour fits best, and who might want a different plan

This combo works especially well for:

• Thrill-seeking couples where one person wants off-road excitement and the other wants horses
• Mixed groups where you need one ticket that satisfies two interests
• People who like structure, because pickup and a guided schedule do most of the work for you

It also makes sense if you are traveling with kids thanks to kids club and nanny service included. And because you have a capped group size of 20 travelers, you are more likely to get guidance rather than just being herded through activities.

A key consideration for UTV riders is age. If someone wants to drive, the minimum age is 16.

One more note for your group planning: this tour is not recommended for travelers under the effect of alcohol and/or drugs. It is a safety-first adventure, and you are sharing the space with machines and animals.

Should you book the COMBO Horseback Riding & UTV Tour?

If you want a Cabo adventure that feels like you did something real, not just looked at things from a van, I think this one is worth considering. The combo format is efficient, the included guidance is a real value, and the mix of UTV plus horses gives you two kinds of memories in one short time.

Book it if your priority is maximum activity per hour, a guided experience, and pickup so you do not fight traffic or navigation. Skip it or rethink if you hate surprise add-ons, because the $25 entrance fee and optional photo purchases can change your total. If that style of planning stress sounds like your least favorite vacation activity, pick another option where the all-in total is clearer before you arrive.
