Cabo’s beauty isn’t limited to its coastline.

Step just beyond, and you’ll find a different kind of landscape—the sun-soaked, rugged stretch of the Baja desert. Vast and untouched, it feels wide open and full of possibility. A different kind of paradise—where adrenaline runs high and the surroundings feel almost otherworldly. And there’s no better way to explore it than behind the wheel.

Guided all-terrain rides offer a closer look at Baja’s wilder side. Out in the desert, it’s common to spot groups navigating the landscape in single-rider ATVs or side-by-side UTVs—vehicles built for sandy climbs and winding paths alike. Led by local guides and equipped with safety gear, these excursions often pass through dunes, cactus-lined trails, and lookout points with sweeping views of both mountains and sea.

Some of our excursions go even further, combining ATV rides with a camel trek across the dunes—offering a slower, more peaceful contrast to the adrenaline of the trail. It’s a unique way to experience the desert’s scale and beauty from a different pace, with the Pacific shimmering in the distance. For a change in perspective, the Skybike experience takes things to new heights—literally. Suspended on cables high above the terrain, this aerial ride offers panoramic views of the landscape and holds the Guinness World Record for the longest ride of its kind.

All of these experiences depart just a short drive from our resorts in Cabo San Lucas, making them an easy addition to the day’s itinerary. Whether seeking a private outing or a small-group adventure, there are options suited for first-time explorers, families, and more seasoned thrill-seekers alike.

Cabo offers countless ways to connect with nature—some more unexpected than others. For those curious to explore what lies just beyond the shore, we’ll be happy to help coordinate the experience. Simply contact the concierge team at your resort—we’re here to assist.
