Can-Am Maverick X3 in Cabo San Lucas — Everything You Need to Know Before You Book

The Can-Am Maverick X3 is the most capable side-by-side UTV on the market — and there is no better place to drive one than the desert terrain around Cabo San Lucas. If you are planning a trip to Los Cabos and want to experience Baja California Sur the way locals and off-road enthusiasts actually see it, this guide covers everything you need to know.

Why the Can-Am Maverick X3 Is the Right Vehicle for Baja

Baja terrain is unforgiving. Rocky washes, deep sand, steep arroyos, and river crossings require a purpose-built off-road machine — not a Jeep rental or an ATV. The Maverick X3 runs a turbocharged 900cc Rotax engine producing up to 200 horsepower, paired with a Fox intelligent shocks suspension that soaks up rocks and ruts at speed. It is designed specifically for the type of terrain that makes Baja one of the most famous off-road destinations on earth.

The turbo Rotax engine in the X3 pushes 0–60 in under 4 seconds. In a desert wash with three miles of open terrain in front of you, that number is not just a spec — it is a feeling.

Private vs Group Tours — Why Private Wins in Cabo

Every caravan tour in Cabo — the kind where 10–15 vehicles follow a lead truck at 12 mph — is designed around the slowest driver. Private tours are the opposite. Your group books the machine and the route is yours. Your guide adapts to your pace, your comfort level, and what you want to see.

At Take The Wheel Baja, every tour is private by design. No strangers. No waiting. No caravan drama. Just your group, a professional guide, and 200 horsepower of Baja-ready hardware.

What to Expect on the Day

Your guide picks you up or meets you at a central point in Cabo San Lucas or San José del Cabo. You get a safety briefing, gear up (helmets, goggles, gloves provided), and you are off. Most half-day tours run 3–4 hours including drive time to the launch point. Full-day expeditions push 6–8 hours deep into the peninsula.

Water and snacks are included on all tours. Bring sunscreen, a camera with a large memory card, and wear clothes you do not mind getting dusty.
