Ride camels through Cancun jungle and white-sand dunes, then enjoy Maroma Beach time with snacks, hotel pickup, and pro guides.
“This excursion had its ups and downs. We got picked up a little late but the ride there was just us so it was nice with no other stops to pick up other people. 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…”
Beach camel rides in Cabo, with hotel pickup, a guided camel encounter, a hearty meal, and tequila tasting, plus a $25 park fee.
“They refused to allow us to take our iphones, so we left them behind. They informed us they would take pictures. Reality….everyone but us had there cell phones out taking pictures. The pictures the company took were terrible. So we have no pics. The ride is only about 15 minutes, we wasted another 2 hours waiting around.”
ATV beach dunes and a camel ride near Cabo with tequila tasting and hotel pickup. Safety gear, water, and a bilingual guide.
“I read all the reviews and folks were spot on. Pack your patience because you average a 30 minute wait time for everything once you arrive at Cactus Tours... starting with check in. Bring cash or ask to pay via PayPal or Zelle, if you don't want to pay extra due to their peso conversion. My husband and I plus our 12 and 14 year old children declined their medical insurance. We paid $250 ($269.88 after the pesos conversion) for the $150 private tour + $25/person park fee. Then we had a $750 ($809.65 after the pesos conversion) hold on our credit card for insurance verses paying the non refundable…”

Camel ride on Cabo’s Playa Migrino, then ATV or UTV speed in Baja desert, finish with tequila tasting and photo ops.
“Our initial experience got off to a rocky start. We did not receive the confirmation email until 9:04 a.m. on the morning of pickup, which was scheduled for 9:20 a.m. However, we were able to reschedule without any issues, and everything worked out well from there. When we arrived at the event, we had paid additional fees for a private tour. Unfortunately, the initial guide assigned to us, Irvin, was unresponsive and disappeared for nearly 20 minutes. We had to inquire about his whereabouts, at which point Tony stepped in as our guide. Tony was absolutely amazing and truly made up for the earlier inconvenience. He was professional, engaging, and…”
Camel safari at Cabo sunset with a cactus nature walk, Mexican buffet, tequila tasting, and hotel pickup. Short ride, big memories.
“I was expecting to ride the camel at sunset but it wasn’t like that. Even though we saw the sunset at the beach, it wasn’t while riding the camel. We also were sat at the other end of the table when we ate dinner and couldn’t see the tortilla making that was part of the experience. We liked our tour guide, Luis. He was nice and fun!”
UTVs over 7,000 acres plus a Pacific camel ride in Cabo. Tequila tasting, lunch, and round-trip pickup included.
“Andres was very informative when explaining how to operate the ATV and welcoming. The photographer was phenomenal and worked really hard to get photos for us. ( Definitely could see the effort he was putting in to capture these special moments. ) super fun excursion. You are getting a lot of “bang for you buck”! Or “moneys worth” as some say lol.”
Cabo at Wild Canyon pairs a rescued-animal camel ride with a full water-park day, plus included snacks and refillable hydration.
“Just enjoy. Bring towel and water bottle. If you have ATV or UTV trip - get something to cover face, or you can purchase it in gift shop at the park. Gets dusty during the road trip. Otherwise it is pure fun all around. Employees are very friendly and professional.”
Beach ATV, free camel ride, and sky bike views at Migriño, with hotel pickup from Cabo and a herpetarium stop.
“Our tour guide Noel is top notch. From beginning to end he was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable. Super friendly and just overall great company. We enjoyed our time. The entire staff was amazing as well. As hot as Cabo was, we didn’t have time to sweat. They have breeze ways and you’re shuttled around from excursion to excursion. And let’s not talk about the food…. SUPER YUMMY!!! The camel feeding was so adorable. The camel ride was smooth and fun. We took the fastest UTV out for a spin along the beach side. It felt like an action movie. The tequila tasting was pleasant. We got a bottle of passion…”
Camel ride along Cabo’s Pacific beaches and a do-it-yourself UTV adventure through Baja desert to Migriño dunes.
“Great time, originally wasn’t a fan of not being able to take our own pictures but after seeing everything they had to do to get our pictures I thought the price was worth it. Our guide was amazing and the tasting after was fun.”
Cabo San Lucas desert ATV, sky bike views, and a calm camel ride at Playa Migriño, plus a tequila tasting, round-trip pickup.
“If you look at the reviews of people who visited beforehand, there are surcharges. I was a little less surprised because I knew in advance through reviews, but some knew the exact price in advance, but some did not, so I will post the price information. As of July 2024. Park entrance fee was $25 USD per person, $38 USD per person for the optional Private Tour, $60 USD per SxS insured vehicle, and we also had option to choose additional medical insurance. Upon arrival, we paid the above amounts to enter the park and also had the option to purchase photos after the tour. The price of the photos…”
