Two rides, one Cabo afternoon. This horseback + UTV combo takes you out into Los Cabos’ rugged terrain with real guide direction, not guesswork. I especially like that you get round-trip transportation and a full hour on horseback plus an hour driving the SxS, so it feels like you did something active (even if you’re on vacation mode). One thing to keep in mind: there’s a G-Force Adventures entrance fee on top of the tour price, and you may also see extra costs for photos.

If you want adrenaline without going full stunt mode, this is a nice fit. It’s built for couples and mixed groups because one activity can scratch the thrill itch while the other offers a slower, scenic change of pace. Biggest caution: don’t go if you’re under the influence, and check your comfort with heights/animals if horseback is new to you.

Key highlights to know before you go

• Two activities in one: 1 hour on a UTV and 1 hour horseback riding, both guided
• Round-trip transportation included: pick up at most hotels and villas in Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo
• Safety gear and bilingual support: you’ll get equipment plus a bilingual tour guide
• Tequila tasting included: it’s part of the package, not an optional detour
• Max group size of 20: small enough to feel organized, even on a busy day

Cabo in Two Modes: Horses and UTVs at G-Force Adventures

This tour is basically built for people who can’t decide between scenery-on-horseback and hands-on thrills on an off-road machine. The plan pairs an hour driving a SxS/UTV with an hour riding horses, so you get variety instead of repeating the same activity back-to-back.

What makes it work is the structure: you’re not wandering on your own. You get a professional guide, safety equipment, and staff support for both parts of the experience. One review specifically praised a guide named Alejandra for being friendly and confident in the UTV lead-follow flow, and also very helpful with first-time horseback riders.

The vibe: active, outdoorsy, and a little dusty in the best way. You’ll want to arrive ready for sun, movement, and a full two-hour block, not just a quick look around.

Price and the Real Cost Check (Tour Fee Plus Park Entrance)

The advertised price is $125 per person for about 2 hours. But here’s the practical part: the G-Force Adventures entrance fee is not included and is listed at $25 per person.

So your realistic baseline cost is $150 per person before any optional extras.

On top of that, there are add-ons that can affect the final bill:

• Souvenir photos are available to purchase
• Optional vehicle protection is offered

One review called out a situation where they felt upgrade and photo costs were expensive after paying the attraction fee. I can’t say that’s how every day goes, but it does point to a smart habit: before you assume the tour price is the full total, scan the costs for photos and any upgrades on-site.

My advice: decide in advance if you want photos as keepsakes. If not, you can save money and still have a great ride.

How the 2-Hour Schedule Breaks Down

Even though the tour is listed around 2 hours, the experience feels like two separate adventures happening back-to-back.

Step 1: Get to G-Force Adventures

You’ll meet at G-Force Adventures, Carretera Cabo San Lucas, Av. La Paz Km. 106 (23473 Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S., Mexico). If you’re staying in Cabo San Lucas or San José del Cabo, pickup is offered at most hotels and villas, and you add your hotel name to arrange it.

The practical value here is timing. Round-trip transport means you’re not trying to coordinate taxis while also wrangling sunscreen, water, and phones. You’ll also get a mobile ticket, and you’ll receive confirmation at booking time.

Step 2: UTV driving (about 1 hour)

Next is the off-road portion: 1 hour driving a UTV with safety equipment and a bilingual guide. From the way it’s run, this is designed to be fun for people with different experience levels. One review noted the UTV portion is lead-follow style, so you can push your speed when you want and ease up when you don’t.

If you’re new to UTVs, the guide structure matters. It helps you focus on learning the vehicle and the route instead of worrying about where to go next.

Step 3: Horseback riding (about 1 hour)

Then you switch over to horses for about 1 hour. You’ll still be guided, and safety gear is included. The best part for me is that the instruction is meant to support first-timers—one review specifically praised how staff handled nervous or new riders.

Even if you’re an experienced rider, horseback can feel different after the UTV. Expect a slower rhythm, more concentration, and a chance to take in coastal scenery and open terrain at a different pace.

Step 4: Tequila tasting and wrap-up

Tequila tasting is included, and water is provided during the tour. The day ends back at the meeting point, with pickup returning you to your hotel area if that option applied to you.

UTV Hour: Off-Road Speed With Real Guide Control

The UTV portion is the adrenaline engine of this combo. You get 1 hour of UTV driving, plus safety equipment and a professional guide.

The lead-follow format (mentioned in a review) is a big deal. It usually means:

• You don’t have to navigate
• You get an example pace from the guide
• You can still choose how aggressively you ride within the safe plan

If you love speed, this is where you’ll feel it. If you’re cautious, it can also feel manageable because you’re not making every decision yourself.

What to bring your own brain into: expect dust and sun. Wear clothes that you don’t mind getting a little rugged, and keep your expectations realistic. This isn’t a theme-park simulator; it’s off-road riding.

Horseback Hour: Instruction That Helps First-Timers

Horseback riding sounds simple until you’re sitting on a horse and trying to coordinate your hands and balance. That’s why I like that this tour doesn’t just hand you a horse and wave goodbye.

You get a guided ride for about 1 hour, plus safety equipment. And in at least one review, the staff were singled out for being great with newcomers. That matters if you’re hoping for a confidence boost rather than a stressful experience.

The clothing advice is spot-on here: jeans and comfortable shoes. You’ll want something stable for your feet, and sunscreen matters because you’ll be outside for both activities.

Also, remember that this is an animal-based activity. If anyone in your group is uneasy around horses, you’ll want to think through that before booking.

Transportation, Meeting Point, and What a Small Group Changes

This tour runs with a maximum of 20 travelers, which is a sweet spot for outdoor activities. You’re less likely to feel lost in a crowd, and it’s easier for staff to keep track of riders who need extra help.

Pickup is offered at most hotels and villas in Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. If you don’t get picked up, you’ll still meet at the G-Force Adventures location. The key practical tip: add your hotel name at booking so they can match you to the correct pickup area.

Transfer times are listed as approximate and depend on time of day and traffic. So plan to be flexible. The tour itself is time-structured, but the road isn’t.

Photos, Souvenir Upsells, and Staying in Control of Your Spending

Two separate ideas show up in the tour info:

• Souvenir photos are available to purchase
• Optional vehicle protection benefit is offered

One review mentioned feeling hit with high photo and upgrade costs after already paying park entrance fees. That’s not something you can completely prevent, but you can reduce surprises by deciding your budget ahead of time.

Here’s how to stay in control:

• Check the photo pricing before agreeing
• Ask what’s included in the package if you buy
• Consider whether vehicle protection is worth it for you personally

If you love keepsakes, photos can be worth it. If you’re trying to keep costs sane, you can skip the add-ons and still get the thrill from the riding.

Tequila Tasting and the Included Extras That Matter

The package includes a tequila tasting, plus water during the tour. Those “small” inclusions matter because they lower friction. You’re not scrambling for a drink after you’re already worn out from riding.

There’s also a family-friendly surprise: a kids club and nanny service are included. If you’re traveling with children, that can make the difference between skipping adventure activities and actually doing them.

A quick reality check: the tour doesn’t say that tequila tasting is optional, so if you’re sensitive to alcohol or trying to keep your group strictly zero-alcohol, you’ll want to think it through ahead of time.

Who Should Book This Combo Tour (and Who Should Skip It)

This is a great match if you want:

• A couple-friendly adventure day with different activity styles
• A guided experience with safety equipment and staff support
• A structured, time-efficient tour that delivers two different thrills

It’s also a good pick for mixed skill levels because the ride is guided and designed to keep you moving as a group.

Skip it or be cautious if:

• You’re traveling with someone who can’t handle outdoor animal contact (horse portion)
• You’re looking for a gentle, slow walking tour
• Anyone in your group is planning to drink or take drugs before the activities (it’s noted as not recommended under the influence)

Age rules are important too: the minimum age to drive the UTV is 16, and children must be accompanied by an adult.

If your group includes teens who can drive and adults who prefer the horse side, you’ll likely enjoy the split.

Should You Book This Horseback Riding & UTV Combo?

If you want a single Cabo tour that mixes speed with calm, I’d lean yes. The value comes from the fact that the experience isn’t one activity—it’s two, each with guidance, equipment, and a real time block: 1 hour UTV + 1 hour horseback.

Just do your homework on the extras. The tour price alone is not the whole story because the $25 entrance fee is added. Then there’s the question of photos and optional vehicle protection. If you go in with a clear budget for photos (or no photos), this can feel like a fair deal for a high-energy afternoon.

Quick decision guide

Book if you want a guided action day with transportation included.

Consider passing if you hate add-on pricing and you’re photo-shopping-proof.

If you’re booking for a couple or a small mixed group, you’ll probably feel good about this choice: different activity types, guided pace, and a small-group feel.
