Our group had a great time with Cabo Dune Buggy. We did a private tour for 5 couples. Communication was great throughout the process. Transportation was on time and comfortable. We ride ATV and UTV at home, so we wanted a true "dune buggy" experience, and we got it! The staff was friendly and helpful. What a fun activity! Thanks, guys!

What an amazing and exciting dune buggy ride in Cabo. We had an excellent tour guide - Arturo who led us through sand dunes, embankments and I had the thrill of going a little off trail, where they had to push me out. I would say this is the #1 attraction in Cabo. You can't beat the axel in the dune buggy which is very responsive. Needless to say, we loved it and would definitely repeat this adventure.

Would recommend to anyone. Great guides, learned some cool things about the area, and the dune buggy-ing was super fun! Really liked the course they took us on, and also glad we didn't disrupt the sea turtles' nests on the beach like other companies did..

All around A+ experience!

I will echo the experience of others:
1. It is expensive for what you get. We used our Passport card for 2-for-1, but for 6 people it is still expensive, especially when you add on the $20pp “Park Entrance Fee” and optional $35 insurance per buggy.
2. The guides and team are very accommodating and friendly.
3. There was no pressure to buy the insurance, which I appreciated. I didn’t buy and we had no issues.
4. The carts are not in good mechanical condition. Both the steering and brakes are questionable at best. One buggy seemed to have front wheels that went in opposite directions at times.
5. The carts are not fast or powerful. If you have any previous motor sports experience you may be disappointed.
6. My kids noticed that the ATV / Razor tour had much nicer helmets.
7. Many people have commented regarding not riding on the beach. It’s obvious that 100’s of ATVs were on been on the beach the day we were there. I’d bet that these buggies don’t have the horsepower or performance for beach riding and they would simply get stuck in the sand. Sorry, but I’m sure it’s not about the turtles.
8. The track isn’t super challenging, but if you’ve never done any off road riding you’d enjoy it.
9. Didn’t ask about price of photos, I’d already spent $500.

Suggestions for improvement:
1. Charge one fee per person, no extra charges. Include the photos.
2. They’re buggies, so perfection isn’t expected. However, safe tires, brakes and steering are not optional.

It was fun! I felt like an action movie star while driving it up and over bumps and hills. The guide was fun and energetic.

I recommend everyone getting their own dune buggy. I didn't think I wanted to drive but then I did and it was awesome! Plus, the one buggy in our group that had two people got stuck in the sand briefly and seemed harder to drive.

Look, it kind of pains me to write this, because it was "fun." If I'm being honest, though, this outfit needs a lot of work.

Arturo was an awesome tour guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. That said, he had to spend most of his time being our personal mechanic.

Here's the main issue, the dune buggies are in terrible (I mean absolutely decrepit) condition. The first dune buggy we were in (yes first) suddenly started losing power. No matter how much I held down the gas, it just wouldn't go. It eventually shutoff in the middle of the desert. Honestly, that was probably for the best, since the brakes barely worked. I learned quickly to keep a huge distance between cars, because barely anything happened when pressing the brake.

After our original dune buggy croaked, they had us get out and hop into the dune buggy that the camera guy was driving. This worked for a minute until I realized that it wouldn't steer. I'm not sure what was up with the alignment, but it took every ounce of my strength (and I'm a fairly big dude) to keep the car from veering off the road. In fact, on one turn, the car literally got stuck with the wheels frozen to one side. This ultimately wasn't a huge problem since the engine stopped working altogether. Arturo had to jury rig the engine a few times to get it started, but it barely had enough power to make it back to home base.

Bottom line, the cars are terrible and not even safe to drive. I like the team, but unless they spend some money fixing their cars I'll never go back.

This was a great experience. I happened to be the only one scheduled that morning because everyone goes in the afternoon. I had 5 personal guides. One buggy in front and 2 behind. One to take pictures. It was great. Reese, Naomi, Alejandro and Fernando were amazing. I would definitely recommend it and go in the morning. It’s not as hot. They also don’t let us ride on the beach because the turtles are laying there eggs. I liked that. But we did get to stop and go downs to the water.

Loved it! They picked us up at the resort in a private van and took us to their location about 20 minutes outside of town. We had a great guide, learned a lot, and appreciated that they wouldn't ride on the beach because it was sea turtle nesting season. (Others were not as responsible.) Would definitely do this again!

From pick up to drop off this was a great experience! Driver/guide was funny, caring and knowledgeable which made the experience enjoyable. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Cabo. We enjoyed the desert experience, and learned along the way. At all times felt taken care off and safe.
If you want adventure this is the trip for you!
