Two kinds of speed in one Cabo trip. This horseback plus UTV combo takes you along rugged Los Cabos terrain, with a guide steering both your safety and your fun. I like that you get real ride time on both activities, and I also like the small group feel, with pickup and a bilingual guide keeping things organized.

One heads-up: the headline price is not the full bill. You’ll likely pay the G-Force Adventures entrance fee separately, and optional upgrades like photo packages (and other add-ons) can raise the total.

Key Points at a Glance

• 1 hour UTV driving + 1 hour horseback riding gives you balanced adrenaline and slow-and-steady views
• Hotel or port pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle helps this feel easy, not logistics-heavy
• Safety gear, water, and a bilingual guide keep the day moving with clear instruction
• Tequila tasting is included, so this goes beyond just riding
• Kids club and nanny service are included, which can make the trip easier for families
• Maximum group size of 20 keeps it from feeling like a cattle-call

Horseback Meets UTV Power: Why This Combo Works in Cabo

This is the kind of tour that makes sense in Cabo. You’re on vacation, not training for an obstacle course. So you want variety that still feels well guided. This combo delivers that, with one hour on a UTV and one hour on horseback, both led by staff who focus on safety and pacing.

The UTV portion is for people who want controlled speed and off-road thrills. The horse portion is for folks who want to slow down and actually notice the coastline and terrain around Los Cabos. You’re not choosing between fun and scenery here, you’re getting both, in a tight 2-hour window.

Price and Logistics: What $125 Really Turns Into

The tour price is $125 per person, and the whole experience runs about 2 hours total. You also get round-trip transportation by air-conditioned vehicle, plus safety equipment, water during the tour, and a bilingual tour guide.

But here’s the practical part. G-Force Adventures has an entrance fee listed at $25 per person, and it is not included. That means your starting price can jump before you even start thinking about add-ons.

Then comes the part that can surprise people if they don’t ask questions up front:

• Souvenir photos are sold separately (you can buy them on site)
• There’s an optional vehicle protection benefit
• If you want to change the format to something more private, you may see extra fees for that kind of upgrade

My advice is simple. Before you go, confirm what is included in your exact booking total: entrance fee, photo options, and whether any phone or camera rules apply during the activity. Some people prefer getting photos handled for them, but if you’re trying to control your budget, treat photos and upgrades as optional, not assumed.

Your 2-Hour Itinerary at G-Force Adventures (What Happens, and Why It Matters)

This tour centers on one main stop at G-Force Adventures, located on Carretera Cabo San Lucas, Av. La Paz Km. 106, 23473 Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S., Mexico. The day starts with pickup. They pick up from most hotels and villas within Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. You’ll want to add your hotel name so they can time the ride correctly.

Stop 1: G-Force Adventures

At G-Force Adventures, you’ll jump into the schedule for both rides. The pace is designed so you’re not hanging around for hours. The structure is straightforward:

• About 1 hour of UTV driving
• About 1 hour of horseback riding
• Tequila tasting included as part of the experience
• Water provided during the tour
• Safety equipment issued before you ride

Why this structure is valuable: you get two completely different ways to experience the area. A UTV feels like a motorized rollercoaster, while horseback gives you a steadier connection to the terrain. If you like variety, this format saves you from booking separate activities on separate days.

UTV Driving Time: Speed Control, Follow-the-Leader, and Real Off-Road Fun

Your UTV time is about 1 hour driving. The experience is guided, not chaotic. In particular, one strong detail from real-world feedback is the lead-follow style instruction, where you can push when you want and take it easy when you need to.

That approach matters. If you’re comfortable riding, you’ll likely appreciate the chance to press the pace. If you’re brand-new, you still get a chance to learn without feeling lost in the dust. The goal is a ride that stays safe and enjoyable, not just fast.

A key rule to know: minimum age to drive is 16. That means teens can drive, but younger kids cannot drive the UTV. The tour also notes that kids must be accompanied by an adult, which is where the included kids club and nanny service can help families keep everyone supported.

Horseback Riding Hour: Beginner-Friendly Guidance You Can Trust

Your horseback segment is about 1 hour. If you’ve never ridden before, this is where the guide quality matters most. I like that the tour includes a professional guide who gives hands-on instruction, because horseback riding is less about speed and more about confidence and correct basics.

In feedback from this experience, the guide Alejandra stood out for helping newcomers feel comfortable, while still supporting more experienced riders. That kind of balance is what you want on horseback. You don’t want a one-size-fits-all lesson, and you definitely don’t want to feel rushed.

Practical tip: wear jeans and comfortable shoes. The tour specifically recommends sunscreen too, and I’d treat that as non-negotiable. You’ll be outside, you’ll be moving, and you don’t want sunburn cutting your trip short.

Tequila Tasting and On-Site Extras: Included vs. Optional

Tequila tasting is included. That’s a nice touch because it gives you a break between physical activities, and it turns the day into more than just two rides back-to-back.

At the same time, manage your expectations on photos and add-ons. The tour notes that souvenir photos are available to purchase. In practice, this can turn into an extra spend if you assume the photos are included. If you care about photos, ask early:

• when photos are taken,
• what options you’ll receive,
• and what the pricing looks like before you decide.

One person described how quickly extra costs can stack once private upgrades, entrance fees, and photo packages are added. Even if your bill doesn’t match their exact numbers, the takeaway applies: the listed tour price is only part of the total.

Also, there may be a bar or restaurant on site where refreshments and food can be bought. One account specifically pointed to food and drinks with good value. So if you’re hungry after the rides, you’re likely to find an easy option without needing to leave the property.

Who This Tour Fits Best (And Who Should Reconsider)

This combo is ideal for:

• thrill-seeking couples who want one activity that pops and one activity that slows down,
• people who like outdoor fun with a guide (you’re not DIY-ing safety),
• families who need support for kids, since kids club and nanny service is included.

It also tends to work well for people who want to avoid a half-day of complicated scheduling. With pickup, clear timing, and two major activities, it feels like a complete experience.

You should consider a different plan if:

• you cannot meet the UTV driving age requirements (minimum age to drive is 16),
• you’re traveling with alcohol in your system, because the tour notes it is not recommended for people under the effect of alcohol or drugs.

What to Wear and Bring So You Enjoy Every Minute

This tour is physical in two different ways: you’ll be handling a UTV (with some vibration and heat) and also sitting on a horse (with the usual saddle and handling motion). The best approach is to dress for movement and protection.

Bring or wear:

• sunscreen
• jeans
• comfortable shoes

Other practical advice:

• If you wear sunglasses, consider a way to keep them secure on the UTV portion.
• If you’re planning to buy photos, think about what your face and hair look like at the end of the ride, not just at the start.

If you have a phone, check rules about what you can bring during the activity. The tour doesn’t spell out phone policies in the basics provided here, and some parks have their own rules. Ask the moment you arrive or during check-in so you don’t get surprised mid-day.

Group Size, Guide Style, and the Small Details That Make It Feel Worth It

With a maximum of 20 travelers, this doesn’t feel like a huge operation. Smaller groups often mean more attention when instructions matter, like getting on a horse or learning UTV handling.

You also get:

• safety equipment
• water during the tour
• a bilingual tour guide
• a mobile ticket

Those details sound minor, but they add up. Safety gear and water keep you comfortable. A bilingual guide lowers the stress of instructions. And pickup coordination means you can show up ready instead of spending your time hunting transportation.

Should You Book This Horseback Plus UTV Tour?

I think this is a smart choice if you want a packed, guided adventure without turning it into a long day. The mix of UTV driving and horseback riding is exactly what keeps this from feeling repetitive, and the included tequila tasting and guided instruction make it more than just two rentals.

Before you book, do one budget reality check: the $25 entrance fee is not included, and photos and upgrades can add cost. If you go in with clear expectations and decide in advance whether you want the optional extras, you’ll feel a lot better about value.

If you’re choosing between thrill-only and calm-only, this combo usually hits the sweet spot.
