Why Sunrise?
- Calm & empty: fewer vehicles, cooler temps, less dust—smoother lines and better photos.
- Golden light: flattering, soft color on dunes, arroyos, and headlands.
- Efficient pacing: shorter stops to capture great shots means more scenery per hour.
- Private vehicle: 1–3 guests with a professional driver—no caravan delays.
Where We Ride at Dawn
We choose the route the morning of your tour for the day’s light, wind, and tide. Typical sunrise loops:
- Cabo San Lucas: desert ridgelines and Migriño Dunes sand-to-sea corridor.
- San José del Cabo: El Tule Canyon arroyo lines and skyline pull-offs.
- East Cape: quiet headlands near Zacatitos, Shipwrecks, and La Fortuna.
What the Sunrise Run Feels Like
After a quick fit and briefing, we roll out on firm morning surfaces. Your driver reads the sand texture and horizon color, setting a smooth cadence with planned pauses for silhouettes, ridge-top frames, and coastline vistas. You’ll get the cleanest air and the best light of the day.
