Day 6 in Cabo San Lucas - ATV/Off-Road Tour

Friday, January 18th we were picked up from our hotel to enjoy our third activity - the 3 hour ATV/Off-Road Tour with Amigos Cabos Moto Rent www.amigosactivities.com . The taxi was a bit late but we enjoyed the drive down to the ATV location. They are located about 15-20 minutes away from Cabo San Lucas on Highway 19 towards Todos Santos. We were geared up and ready for action! Steve was very excited because he loves racing of all sorts and I was really looking forward to driving the ATV.

We were guided for about 20 minutes, through some rough terrain, to join the rest of the people down at the beach. Upon arriving at the beach, we were given instructions to drive carefully and what to watch out for, etc... and then we were left on our own for about an hour or so to explore the area. The scenery was gorgeous and we loved being left on our own to drive like maniacs. We got our tires stuck once or twice but it was so much fun getting dirty on the trails!! It was really hot out too and we were having a blast! The unguided hour seemed to go by way too quick.

We joined the group once again, at which point we were taken through some more trails, then we stopped at an open style restaurant/ bar to have some drinks and food (not included in the price) so we bought a cerveza and it was really good!We took a break there for about 15 minutes and then back off-roading for another 40 minutes, guided this time, finally making our way back to the ATV location. We were dropped back at our hotel by about 4:30 pm. We jumped in the shower immediately. If you ever want to experience ATV/Off-Road we suggest you do not wear good clothes because you will get dirty. We would certainly recommend this tour as it consisted of most terrains that the other ATV companies use but also the beach tour was phenomenal! The staff was terrific and very helpful.
