Cabo’s beach turns into a camel runway fast. I like the beach-and-desert combo and the chance to get hands-on with Baja’s animals and plants, and you also get real value with tequila tasting and a lunch buffet. The one thing to watch is the separate $25 per person entrance fee that’s not included, so budget that in.

This is run by G-Force Adventures with a maximum of 10 travelers, which usually means less waiting and more time with your bilingual guide and the camel handler. Pickup is offered from many hotels and villas in Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, so you spend more time outside than on the road.

The tour runs about 2 hours, and it’s offered in English with a mobile ticket. If you’re coming with kids, the kids club is included, and that can make the whole outing feel easier.

Key things to know before you go

• Small group cap (10 travelers max) keeps the pace relaxed and questions easy
• Camel ride along the beach plus desert time means you get two scenery moods
• Tequila tasting + lunch buffet are built into the price, not add-ons
• Bilingual guide and camel handler help you with safety and comfort
• Limited extras: souvenir photos cost extra, so you decide if you want them

Camel Ride on Cabo’s Beach and Desert: What the 2 Hours Feels Like

This tour is short on paper and still feels like a full experience once you’re there. You’ll start at G-Force Adventures, get guided handling tips, and then move through Baja-style scenery that mixes ocean views with desert textures. The big win is that it does not feel like a rushed photo stop.

I also like the tone of the experience: it’s hands-on without turning into chaos. The tour is built around an experienced camel handler and a bilingual guide, so you’re not guessing how to do things or when to move.

One more practical point: at just about 2 hours, you can pair it with dinner plans in Cabo without your whole day getting eaten. And because the group is small, you’re less likely to feel like you’re stuck behind a line of people.

Getting From Your Hotel to G-Force Adventures (Without Stress)

Pickup is offered at most hotels and villas in Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. When you book, you’ll want to add your hotel name so the team can arrange the right transportation. That small step can save time, especially if your resort is large or spread out.

The start point is at G-Force Adventures on Carretera Cabo San Lucas, Av. La Paz Km. 106, 23473 Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S., Mexico. The tour ends back at the meeting point, so you won’t be stranded across town.

Plan to show up with enough buffer for pickup timing. You don’t want to run late, because with a small group schedule the day can move quickly once everyone’s gathered.

What Happens First: Camel Handling, Safety, and Close-Up Time

This is not just sit-and-go. You’re guided from the start, including help from a camel handler. The tour description specifically highlights that you’ll get up close with the animals and even feed them, plus enjoy a tender moment. That matters, because it turns the ride into a real animal experience rather than only transportation.

Your guide and handler guide you on what to expect and how to behave around the camels. If you’re a first-timer, this kind of coaching is especially helpful. One of the standout points from the feedback is how instructors keep things safe while still making it feel personal.

There’s also a desert safari component tied to the same outing. That means your time isn’t limited to mounting the camel and walking along one stretch of sand. You’ll learn about Baja’s desert environment—think wildlife and flora—so you understand what you’re seeing, not just pass through it.

Stop 1 at G-Force Adventures: Ocean-Backdrop Riding and Desert Safari Time

The main action happens at G-Force Adventures. After you meet your bilingual guide, you’ll transition into camel interaction, then the desert safari portion, and then the camel ride along the beach.

Here’s what that sequence does for you:

• Feeding and up-close time helps you get comfortable before you ride
• Safari time adds context so the ride feels like part of Baja life, not a separate gimmick
• Beach riding gives you the ocean backdrop that most people come to Cabo for

The tour description also mentions the ocean as a backdrop during the animal-focused portion. In plain terms: you get scenery while you’re still learning the ropes.

The ride itself is the centerpiece. It’s relaxed by design, with a calm, guided pace. In one piece of feedback, the group leader was considerate with nervous riders, which is exactly what you want if you’re worried about the first step.

Tequila Tasting and Lunch Buffet: Is $76 Actually Good Value?

At $76 per person, this tour is built around value you can feel in your day. You’re not just paying for the camel ride. You’re also getting:

• Tequila tasting
• A lunch buffet (listed as beef, pork, and chicken)
• Soft drinks and water

That’s why the price works better than many tours that nickel-and-dime food and drinks. When tequila tasting and lunch are included, you can treat the $76 as a package price rather than a “ride only” deal.

A couple notes to keep it practical:

• The tour includes alcoholic beverages, and the activity is not recommended for travelers under the effect of alcohol and/or drugs. If you’re already intoxicated, this probably won’t be the right moment to try camels.
• If you’re not sure you’ll want tequila, you’ll still get lunch and drinks, so you’re not locked into the alcohol part to get your money’s worth.

Also, the tour offers a kids club. That’s a quiet value item for families. Less stress can matter as much as food.

The Beach Ride: Views, Pace, and What to Expect On the Sand

The camel ride along the beach is where the experience becomes instantly memorable. Cabo’s coastline brings open sky, ocean light, and that breezy “vacation” feeling, and the animal adds a playful twist.

What makes the ride pleasant is the guided pace. Since the group is capped at 10, you’re less likely to feel like you’re being rushed through mounting, moving, and dismounting.

If you’re hoping for a lot of variety in scenery during the ride, you’ll likely feel satisfied because the day blends beach riding with desert/safari time rather than repeating the same beach-only stretch.

Do keep expectations grounded: you’re on a camel, so comfort matters more than speed. Wear footwear that works on sand and is easy to keep secure.

Lunch Choices: The Super Burro and Drinks You Get

Lunch is described as a SUPER BURRO with beef, pork, and chicken, plus soft drinks and water. It’s the kind of meal that helps you refuel without turning the tour into a long restaurant stop.

I like that the meal is included as part of the activity rather than something you have to hunt down after. With only about 2 hours total, getting food separately can be a hassle in Cabo.

If you have dietary restrictions, this is one place you’ll want to think ahead. The information given lists specific meats and drinks, but it doesn’t say vegetarian or other options. So if your needs are strict, plan accordingly.

Photos and the Extra Entrance Fee: What Costs More

Two things can add cost:

• Souvenir photos are available to purchase
• An entrance fee of $25 per person is listed as not included

The photo option is common for these kinds of animal experiences. If you’re the type who wants proof and don’t mind spending extra later, you’ll likely find it worthwhile. If you’d rather save money, skip it and use your own photos.

The entrance fee is the bigger budgeting item, because it’s fixed. Even if the camel ride experience feels like it’s inclusive, you should plan for that $25 per person so the final checkout doesn’t sting.

Who This Tour Suits Best (And Who Should Think Twice)

This tour says most travelers can participate, which is a strong sign it’s not overly technical. The biggest fit factors are comfort with animals and your ability to handle a guided ride.

It’s also likely a good pick for:

• Couples who want something different from beach clubs
• Families looking for a short outing with kids club included
• First-timers who want coaching from an instructor and handler

It’s less suitable if:

• You’re currently under the effect of alcohol and/or drugs (the tour explicitly says it’s not recommended)
• You want a very long, slow, multi-stop adventure; this is about 2 hours, not half a day

If you’re nervous about riding, the experience is designed with a leader who can be considerate. That’s especially useful if you need reassurance before you climb on.

Booking Tips for Cabo Timing and a Smooth Day

This tour is commonly booked about 29 days in advance, so if you’re traveling during a busy stretch, book early enough to get the slot you want.

A smart move is to confirm how pickup works for your specific hotel by providing your hotel name. Cabo is full of resorts with confusing drop-off points, and matching your exact location helps.

When you arrive, keep an eye out for the camel handler and your bilingual guide. The best experiences happen when you listen closely in the beginning, so you know what the handler expects before you start feeding or mounting.

If you’re traveling in a group, remember there’s a maximum of 10 travelers. That’s great for personal attention, but it also means the schedule can be tighter once everyone’s assembled.

Should You Book This Camel Ride Tour in Los Cabos?

I’d book it if you want a short Cabo activity that feels genuinely hands-on: camel interaction, a guided ride along the beach, desert safari time, and included food and drinks. The small group and the fact that lunch and tequila tasting are part of the package make it easier to justify the $76 price.

I would think twice if you’re trying to keep costs ultra-low, because the $25 entrance fee and optional photo purchases can add up. Also, if you have strong dietary needs or you’re not comfortable around animals, you may want to research alternatives first.

If you’re flexible, curious, and okay with a 2-hour outing, this one is the kind of experience that sticks in your memory long after you’re back on land.
