Can-Am Maverick X3
Tour in Los Cabos
Step out of the basic ATV line and into the high-performance side-by-side experience that makes Baja feel alive. A Can-Am Maverick X3 tour in Los Cabos gives you desert trails, beach roads, arroyos, East Cape scenery, and real off-road capability without the crowded tourist convoy.
This is for guests who want more than a slow four-wheeler ride. It is private, powerful, scenic, controlled, and built for travelers who want the better Baja story.

Explore dunes, desert, beaches, arroyos, East Cape roads, and hidden Los Cabos trails with a private guided adventure.
A Can-Am Maverick X3 changes the entire Cabo off-road experience.
If you are comparing off-road tours in Los Cabos, you will notice that many companies use basic ATVs, older four-wheelers, or tired rental machines built for volume. That may be enough for a casual tourist who only wants to say they rode something in the desert. But if you want comfort, control, power, stability, suspension, scenery, and a ride that actually feels special, the Can-Am Maverick X3 is a different level.
The Can-Am Maverick X3 is a high-performance side-by-side built for desert terrain. Instead of sitting exposed on top of a small ATV, you sit inside a wider, lower, more stable cockpit. You feel the trail, but you are not fighting the trail the whole time. The machine is designed to handle sand, ruts, rocks, washes, hardpack roads, and rough Baja terrain with far more confidence than a basic quad.
That is why Take The Wheel Baja built the premium Los Cabos off-road experience around this style of machine. The goal is not to throw guests into a dusty tourist line. The goal is to give you the machine, route, pace, photos, and private Baja experience that most people wish they booked first.
The difference is comfort, stability, suspension, and confidence.
Many visitors arrive in Cabo ready to book a standard ATV tour because that is what they see advertised everywhere. The problem is that most people do not know what they are missing. The difference between a basic four-wheeler and a Can-Am Maverick X3 is not small. It changes how the trail feels, how long you can ride comfortably, and how much of the experience you actually enjoy.
The X3 absorbs Baja better.
A basic quad makes your body absorb every rut, rock, and washboard section. The Maverick X3 platform is built around serious suspension travel, which helps the vehicle float over rough sections with more control and less punishment on your body.
You sit inside the machine.
On an ATV, you sit high and exposed. In a side-by-side, you sit lower inside a wider vehicle with bucket-style seating and a more planted feeling. That stability is a major reason the X3 feels more comfortable for many guests.
It feels like a real Baja machine.
A Can-Am Maverick X3 feels purpose-built for desert roads, arroyos, sand sections, and open Baja scenery. It gives the ride a premium off-road personality that a basic rental quad simply cannot match.
A machine this good should not be trapped in a 20-car tourist convoy.
The Can-Am Maverick X3 is too capable to waste in a slow, crowded line of tourists. If you put a high-performance desert machine behind ten nervous drivers, the machine does not get to do what it was built to do. You end up eating dust, waiting at every stop, and driving at the pace of the most confused person in the group.
Take The Wheel Baja is built around private routing and private pacing. That means your group gets a better experience, better communication, better photo stops, and a ride style that makes sense for your people. Want it calmer and scenic? We shape the route that way. Want a bigger East Cape adventure? Ask for it. Want a premium ride-along where you enjoy the views while the guide handles the machine? That is one of the best ways to experience Baja.
- Private format instead of crowded tourist lines
- Better pacing for couples, families, and groups
- Scenic beach roads, desert trails, and arroyos
- Direct WhatsApp planning before you book
- Photo stops and route style matched to your group
- Premium Baja adventure feel without the factory-tour chaos
Why upgrade to a Can-Am Maverick X3 tour?
The right machine matters. Here is the practical difference between a basic ATV ride and a private Can-Am Maverick X3 experience in Los Cabos.
| Feature | Basic ATV Tour | Can-Am Maverick X3 Tour |
|---|---|---|
| Ride position | You sit exposed on top of the vehicle. | You sit inside a wider, more stable side-by-side cockpit. |
| Comfort | More body fatigue on rocks, washboards, and ruts. | More suspension control and less punishment on rough Baja terrain. |
| Group format | Often crowded with strangers and mixed skill levels. | Private route format built around your group and comfort level. |
| Scenery | Often a fixed route repeated all day. | Beach roads, desert trails, viewpoints, and custom route style when available. |
| Experience level | Basic tourist activity. | Premium Baja adventure with stronger performance and better presence. |
The X3 lets you enjoy the trail instead of fighting it.
Baja terrain can be rough. There are rocky washes, sandy sections, loose dirt, hardpack roads, uneven trails, dry riverbeds, and long stretches of washboard. On a small exposed ATV, that terrain can become exhausting quickly. You spend more time bracing your body than enjoying the scenery.
A side-by-side like the Can-Am Maverick X3 changes the feeling. You are seated in a more natural driving position. The suspension does more of the work. The machine feels more planted. The cockpit gives the ride a more serious, premium off-road feeling. You still get the dust, wind, speed, turns, and raw Baja energy, but with more confidence and comfort.
The result: you finish the tour energized, not destroyed. That matters if you want to enjoy dinner, nightlife, the beach, or the rest of your Cabo vacation after the ride.
Build the Can-Am Maverick X3 itinerary around your group.
Every group is different. Some want a scenic beach-road ride. Some want more dirt. Some want content and photos. Some want a bigger East Cape adventure. The private format makes the experience easier to match to the people actually riding.

Can-Am Maverick X3 Tour in Los Cabos
Step out of the basic ATVs and step into the most powerful off-road machine in Baja. Experience Cabo San Lucas inside the legendary Can-Am Maverick X3.
If you are exploring off-road tours in Los Cabos, you have likely noticed that the vast majority of companies operate fleets of basic, dilapidated four-wheelers. For the casual tourist, that might be enough. But for the discerning traveler who values high-performance engineering, raw adrenaline, and impeccable comfort, a basic ATV is simply a non-starter.
The Can-Am Maverick X3 is not a toy. It is the premier, high-performance UTV (Utility Task Vehicle) platform that dominates the actual Baja 1000 races every single year. When you book a Can-Am Maverick X3 tour with us in Cabo, you are securing the most capable, comfortable, and aggressive off-road machine in the Mexican desert.
Why the Can-Am X3 Demolishes Standard Off-Road Rentals
Many visitors arrive in Cabo perfectly willing to settle for a standard dune buggy or four-wheeler, simply because they don’t know what they are missing. The difference is night and day.
A standard rental quad forces you to absorb the violent shock of the Baja terrain directly into your spine. After two hours on a rocky wash, you will be exhausted, sore, and desperate to get off. The Maverick X3 solves this completely through millions of dollars in mechanical engineering. With up to 24 inches of Fox Racing suspension travel, the X3 literally swallows boulders and floats over massive ruts. You can confidently drive through a dried-out riverbed at higher speeds while sitting in total comfort.
The Take The Wheel Baja Difference
We did not just buy Can-Ams; we built our entire business model around them. Because the X3 is so fast and capable, we realized that putting it in a crowded 20-car tourist convoy is an insult to the machine.
That is why every single Can-Am Maverick X3 tour we operate is 100% private. Just your group, your high-performance machines, and your expert Baja guide leading the way. No waiting for inexperienced tourists. No choking on the dust of ten cars in front of you. Just wide-open trails, pristine Pacific beaches, and the whistling turbo of your Can-Am.
Unmatched Comfort and Safety
- Full Iron Roll Cage: Experience the desert enveloped in a heavy-duty steel cage, offering absolute overhead protection.
- Multi-Point Harnesses: You are strapped tightly into ergonomic bucket seats, ensuring you stay planted during aggressive cornering.
- Intuitive Control: It drives exactly like a high-end sports car. Fully automatic, brilliantly weighted power steering, and instantaneous throttle response.
- Zero Rider Fatigue: Because you sit inside the vehicle rather than wresting on top of it, you finish the three-hour tour feeling energized, not battered.
