The Experience

Before You Go

Stay Hydrated Throughout the Tour

The desert sun and physical activity require sipping water regularly—bring a refillable bottle.

Wear Closed-Toe Shoes

For both UTV driving and horseback riding, sturdy, closed-toe shoes protect your feet.

Dress in Layers for Variable Weather

Coastal breezes can be cool even if desert spots feel hot; a light jacket or windbreaker helps.

Use Sunscreen and Sunglasses

The exposed trails and beaches offer little shade, so don't skimp on sun protection.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Migriño Beach’s quiet tide pools, ideal for a quick stop and exploration
  • Remote desert overlooks accessible from UTV trails offering panoramic ocean views

Wildlife

  • Humpback whales migrating in winter months
  • Desert cottontail rabbits darting near the dunes

Conservation Note

The tour emphasizes responsible wildlife observation and limits environmental impact by adhering to designated trails and respecting animal welfare.

Camels were introduced to Baja in the 19th century to aid desert transport, and their presence remains a unique legacy of the region's trade history.
