Two rides, one seriously fun setup. This Cabo San Lucas combo blends UTV off-road time with horseback riding along the Los Cabos area, run by a guide who keeps things moving. It’s built for couples who want adrenaline without turning the day into a grind.

What I like most is the balance: you get a full 1 hour driving on a UTV plus a full 1 hour of horseback riding experience, instead of short demos. I also appreciate the on-site structure and the staff support; one standout in the reviews is the guide Alejandra, who’s described as great for beginners and skilled at leading the UTV practice. The only real caution is the total cost can rise with add-ons like the G-Force Adventures entrance fee and photo packages (and other optional upgrades), so check what you’re actually paying for.

Key highlights to know before you go

• UTV + horseback in one 2-hour window: real time on both activities, not just a photo op.
• Lead-follow riding style: you can push the speed when you want and slow down when you feel like it.
• Bilingual guidance: safety help and instruction in English and Spanish.
• Tequila tasting included: a fun Cabo touch built into the experience.
• Smaller group size (max 20): you’re less likely to feel lost in a giant crowd.
• Kids club and nanny service: an option that can make this easier for families.

Why this Cabo combo tour feels different than a typical ATV ride

Cabo San Lucas is full of half-day adventures, but this one stands out for how it changes gears. You start with a motorized thrill on a guided off-road course, then shift to a calmer (but still active) horseback segment. That mix keeps the energy up without turning everything into the same kind of vibration-and-dust routine.

I also like that it’s anchored at G-Force Adventures, which means the staff can move you through training, safety, and then into the real riding. Your day isn’t scattered across three different providers. And because the tour includes round-trip transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle, you’re not left trying to figure out where to park, where to check in, or how to get back after you’re muddy and happy.

One more practical point: you’re capped at 20 travelers, so the “wait around for everyone” feeling tends to be lower than bigger group tours. The guide can spend more time with the people who need extra instruction—especially helpful for first-timers on horseback.

G-Force Adventures: the 2-hour flow from pickup to finished riding

Your tour is built around one main stop: G-Force Adventures. Pickup is offered from many hotels and villas in Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, and the day is structured so you arrive, get oriented, and then get straight into the riding.

Here’s what the experience timing looks like in real life terms:

Stop 1: G-Force Adventures (your riding block)

When you arrive at G-Force Adventures, you’re set up with safety equipment and then matched with the right training/starting flow for both activities. You’ll have your guide with you throughout, plus water is provided during the tour.

You’ll do about 1 hour driving on a UTV, followed by about 1 hour of horseback riding experience. Both segments are guided. You’re not just turning loose with a map and a hope.

UTV time: instruction first, then real course driving

The UTV portion is described as lead-follow, which matters more than people expect. With lead-follow, the guide sets the pace and the route, so you’re focusing on control and turning rather than worrying about where to go next. One review specifically highlighted that the group could adjust speed—push it when you felt ready, take it easy when you wanted.

This is the part of the day where you’ll feel the “off-road” difference. Even if you’ve ridden before, the guided format tends to make the ride smoother because you’re not stuck guessing what the terrain expects from you.

Horseback riding: a beginner-friendly segment when coached well

Then you swap from engine to saddle. The horseback segment is also about 1 hour, and reviews mention guides who are comfortable teaching newcomers. If you’ve never ridden, the big win is that you’re not thrown into the deep end. You get guidance on handling the horse at a comfortable pace, and the staff keeps an eye on riders who need extra help.

If you like variety, this transition is the best part of the combo. You move from quick bursts of speed to a more “watch, follow, and feel confident” rhythm.

Tequila tasting and on-site refreshments

The included portion lists a tequila tasting, so expect that to happen as part of the activity flow. And there’s also a bar/restaurant on-site mentioned in reviews, where refreshments and food are available at prices that reviewers called reasonable. That’s useful if you want a little downtime before the drive back.

UTV and horse guidance: what the guide does for you (and why it matters)

The guide is the difference between a fun adventure and a chaotic one. This tour includes a bilingual tour guide, and reviews point out that Alejandra’s approach makes both parts easier—especially for beginners.

For the UTV side, lead-follow training helps you get your bearings fast without feeling like you’re driving in a video game. You get instruction, then you ride a course with the guide managing turns and pace. That pacing flexibility is important. One review described being able to push speed when desired and take it easy when you wanted—so the ride isn’t only built for thrill-chasers.

For the horses, guidance is even more critical. A UTV is a machine; a horse is a living partner with its own cues. When a guide is patient and clear, riders relax quicker and you end up enjoying the ride instead of worrying about every step.

Safety equipment is included, and the tour clearly has rules around who should participate. It’s not recommended for people under the effect of alcohol and/or drugs, which is exactly what you want to hear from an operator running both UTVs and horses.

Price and logistics: what $125 really covers (and what can cost extra)

Let’s talk money in plain terms. The listed price is $125.00 per person, and the duration is about 2 hours. But two cost factors can affect your real total:

The G-Force Adventures entrance fee is separate

The tour includes the riding time, safety gear, guide, water, tequila tasting, and round-trip air-conditioned transport. However, it also lists an entrance fee to G-Force Adventures of $25.00 per person, and that fee is marked as not included.

So for budgeting, assume your ride-and-guidance base is $125, plus you’ll likely pay the park entrance fee at the site.

Photos and upgrades are not included

Souvenir photos are available to purchase, but they’re not included. One review complained about add-on costs for pictures and optional upgrades, even after paying attraction-related fees. I can’t tell you exactly what your photo package will cost, but I can tell you to treat photos as optional and decide before you get pulled into the sales moment.

There’s also mention of an optional vehicle protection benefit, which you’d likely only want if you’re worried about extra risk on the course.

Optional private tour upgrades may come up

One review described being offered a switch to a private tour and paying extra. The provider’s official note in that same context says private tour options are voluntary. Either way, the practical takeaway is simple: if you care about keeping costs tight, ask what is included in your specific booking and what would change the price.

Who should book this horseback riding + UTV combo in Los Cabos?

This tour fits best when you want variety and you like guided adventures.

You’ll enjoy it most if:

• You’re visiting Cabo as a couple and want adrenaline plus a different kind of fun in the same outing.
• One person is excited about off-road driving and the other wants horseback riding.
• You’re okay following a guide’s lead and pace rather than striking out on your own.

It may not be your ideal choice if:

• You hate the idea of add-on costs like entrance fees and photo packages.
• You’re expecting a long, free-roaming ride without instruction. This is guided and structured, and that’s a good thing for safety, but it limits total freedom.
• You’re traveling with someone who shouldn’t participate due to alcohol/drug effects (the tour specifically says it’s not recommended).

For families: the included features list a kids club and nanny service, which is a big deal if you’re trying to get adults time without leaving children behind with no plan.

Practical tips that make the ride better (and the day smoother)

Here’s how to set yourself up for comfort and fewer headaches.

Wear the right stuff

The tour recommends sunscreen, jeans, and comfortable shoes. I’d add one mental note: jeans are great because they hold up better against rub and tack, but pick comfy ones you don’t mind getting a little dirty.

Plan for a real physical ride

This is not a sit-and-watch excursion. You’ll be in a UTV for about an hour driving, then on horseback for about an hour. Even if you’re fit, you’ll want to pace yourself and drink water when offered.

Know the age rules if you’re bringing kids

• Kids must be accompanied by an adult.
• The minimum age to drive a UTV is 16.

If your party includes younger teens, you’ll want to plan who drives ahead of time so you’re not stuck making decisions on arrival.

Bring the right expectations for speed and control

Because the UTV portion uses lead-follow guidance, you’ll ride a course the guide controls. That’s why the speed can be adjusted, but you won’t be doing full independent exploring.

Photo decision strategy

If you want photos, great. If not, set a simple rule for yourself before the photo moment arrives: decide what you’d pay, if anything, then stick to it. One review made a strong point about feeling charged for photos and upgrades, so protect your budget by having a plan.

Is it worth $125: value check for couples and families

For $125, you’re getting a lot of the stuff that usually costs extra on adventure days:

• Round-trip transportation by air-conditioned vehicle
• Safety equipment
• Bilingual tour guide
• Water during the tour
• Tequila tasting
• Kids club and nanny service
• Two full segments: 1 hour UTV and 1 hour horseback

That’s why many people rate this so highly. The review highlights aren’t just about excitement; they’re about how smoothly it runs with competent staff and good instruction. Alejandra is specifically praised for UTV lead-follow coaching and for helping a newcomer feel comfortable on horseback.

Now the honest value part: because the entrance fee ($25) and photos/upgrades aren’t included, your final spend can creep up. Still, you’re not paying for random add-ons like “only a short ride” or “no real guidance.” You’re paying for two guided activities with time on both.

So I’d call it good value when:

• You’re actually going to use both activities (not just one).
• You’re fine skipping expensive photo packages.
• You show up ready for a half-day adventure that’s structured but not stiff.

Should you book this Cabo horseback riding and UTV combo?

If you want a single outing that gives you both off-road speed and a guided horseback experience, this is a strong choice. The combination works well for couples because each person gets their preferred kind of fun, and the guides are clearly a key part of the experience—Alejandra gets named in the reviews for a reason.

I’d say you should book it if you:

• Want 1 hour driving UTV plus 1 hour horseback in one go
• Prefer guided instruction over DIY exploring
• Like the idea of tequila tasting as part of the itinerary
• Are okay with budgeting a bit extra for the $25 entrance fee and optional photos
