Cabo Off-Road Adventure Tours Prices
Simple, transparent pricing. Our private, pro-driven Can-Am Maverick X3 UTV tours are billed by time so you only pay for what you use:
- $200 USD per hour while moving (drive time on route)
- $100 USD per hour while stopped for adventure (photo breaks, beach time, food stop, scenic lookouts)
It’s your vehicle, your pace, your day—desert ridgelines, coastal lookouts, and uncrowded East Cape tracks without the caravan crowds. We drive, you ride; you set the vibe.

How Our Pricing Works
We keep it intuitive and fair. We tally two clocks:
- Moving time → billed at $200/hr
- Stopped time → billed at $100/hr
- What counts as “stopped”? Photo sessions, drone shots, beach hangs, coffee/snack stops, or pausing to enjoy a viewpoint.
- Billing increments: calculated in 15-minute increments for both moving and stopped time.
- Capacity: private vehicle for 1–3 guests plus your professional driver/guide.
- Routes: chosen day-of for the best light, wind, and tide across Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo, and the East Cape.

FAQs
How do you calculate my total?
We log your moving time at $200/hr and your stopped time at $100/hr in 15-minute increments, then add them together.
What counts as “stopped” time?
Any time the vehicle is not moving by your choice—photo sessions, drone work, beach or viewpoint hangs, coffee/meal breaks, etc.
Can I keep costs down?
Yes—aim for sunrise or sunset (better light = fewer, shorter stops) and tell us your must-have shots so we plan efficient pauses.
How many guests can ride?
Private vehicle for 1–3 guests plus your professional driver/guide.
Where do you operate?
Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo, and the East Cape. Routes are chosen the morning of your tour for the best light, wind, and tide.
Do you offer self-drive?
Our signature format is chauffeured so you can relax and film. If you need self-drive, ask and we’ll advise current options.
