What a great tour. I've been on many horseback rides in several countries and this one stands out for sure. It wasn't overcrowded, it started soon after our arrival and was an extensive tour with great views. Our guide Emmanuel was awesome. Explained everything thoroughly even though we were experienced. Shared lots of information and kept the long ride interesting. We recommend Picacho & be sure to ask for Emmanuel. Definitely worth the money & time!
1) Really fun ATV trip with Emmanuel! + He was really patient with beginners and walked us through step-by-step process of riding. + We had so much fun! 2) Relaxing Camel ride with Carlos! + Very nice trip by the ocean. Thank you Emmanuel and Carlos! When we go back to Cabo -- we will definitely take this trip with Picacho Adventures again!!! 5 stars!
Emmanuel, our guide was AWESOME!!! He took the time to show us great spots to take pictures, he was patient with our group (a young girl was driving) and just amazing! We loved that he took us down to the beach and just gave us history of it. Absolutely great business and the staff, very professional!
So my family wanted to do a camel tour (bucket list). So I started reading all the reviews on Yelp. The biggest complaint from the other companies was the photo fee (some people mentioned additional $160 and up). NOT at Picacho Adventures. They let you take your phone/camera and allow you to take all the pictures you want. In fact our guide even took this picture for us (along with bunch of others). The whole process of signing up was super easy. Judy answered our call and accommodated our schedule. Most places want 24 hours notice to reserve shuttle pickup. Not only did Judy arrange last minute shuttle pickup but she gave us a custom time to help us get back early for another event. Find out that this is a "mom and pop" business. The whole experience was very personal and did not feel like a big company tourist "trap". We may have paid a little more for our tour but the total cost was much less than what the other companies would have charged (if you add the picture package). The total time was about 2 hours which was perfect. We were probably on the camel for closer to 20-30 minutes (didn't feel rushed). That was about the perfect time to enjoy the scenery and ride. Please do tip your guide as he works hard to walk you up and down the beach. With such a nice experience, we went ahead and booked our snorkeling boat ride in a couple of days. This is the first time I have used this tour company (no I do not get paid). I can't wait to return next year to ride the horses n the beach (you get to steer your own horse, not head to tail) and the ATV/UTV. This company should be ranked a 5 star (looked like they got hammered with a few bad reviews...probably different people from same group). Glad I found a trust worthy company.
I came to Cabo's and got set up with Christian; I would recommend him to anyone who comes out to explore and wants to have a good time--he treated us like he's known us for years. We had a great time, from riding 4wheelrs to zip lining out by the river. We will be back for another adventure!
Picacho, Picacho, Picacho. You did not disappoint me today. A glorious, yet somewhat muggy day. Oh we had fun though. Emmanuel the trusted dune god servant, took us on a dusty whirlwind trip across the dried up river beds, and out onto the freshly carved dunes and playa of the pacific. Our rag tag crew of vagabonds and hipsters (+1 youngster), came upon the camel trains, and varying ATV opponents of other gangs out to ride us down. We endeavored to secure a resting spot upon a windswept, wave crashing shoreline so as to hydrate and rest our weary grip from our machines! In all, we rallied like true professionals of a Mexican Baja! We were treated with historical renaissance and culture botany along the way. Truly the cacti and wild burros we're to marvel at, while being politely informed of the indigenous population's contribution to continued salvation and recovery of this ecologically vulnerable coastline. Our presence being a minor hiccup to consider along the way. Oh, but I wait to return again soon. Emmanuel you are truly a blessing to your craft! We shall see you again one day!
Highly recommend this company. Had an amazing time. The terrain is alot more rugged than what I'm used to, and I like that. Hector was our guide. Super cool dude. Unlike the commercialized Cactus Tours, THEY LET YOU BRING YOUR CAMERA(phone). They provide a locker free of charge, water, and bathroom. You are going to get the $20 entrance fee per person just like most places. They are going to mention the insurance just like ALL places. And they are going to try to up sell you their pics just like other places Pics were nice, but I had my Go-Pro running the majority of the ride. I declined the insurance and had no incidents. We went down some very steep hills and go pretty fast so if you a timid or first time rider, do not do this activity w/o insurance. Cows, horses, and I even saw a bull come out in some of the trails. It can be a little intimidating. We rode along the beach shore and they allowed us to take some amazing pics. Even saw a couple of whales pop up. Certainly not as nice of a facility at Cactus Tours, but they get the job done. So I definitely recommend.
My husband and I did the camel ride with Picacho Adventures, and we had the tour guide, Carlos Alonso. He was very kind and friendly. The camel ride was lengthy, and we got our money's worth. We also got the chance to ride the camels by the beach side, and it was a charming view. I recommend Picacho Adventures for Camel rides with the tour guide Carlos Alonso to family and friends. Me and my husband did the ATV ride with the tour guide Emmanuel. Emmanuel was very kind and friendly and an excellent guide for the ATVs. Emmanuel also took very nice pictures and a great video of us on the ATV; if you didn't know better, you would have thought it was a production. The ride was very lengthy, and we took a break and enjoyed the beautiful view of the beach. It was such a lovely experience, and I would recommend riding ATVs with the tour guide Emmanuel.
Emmanuel our guía (guide) was absolutely amazing and gave us such a great ATV tour of the desert and mountains and beach. We will definitely be coming back to him again our next trip with the family! I highly recommend this business as they have several different activities for the whole family! Thanks Emmanuel for your excellent service, se lo agradecemos muchísimo su hospitalidad!!!
I made unforgettable memories here it was everything we could've asked for. Emmanuel was incredibly patient and super fun. My friend and I had trouble handling the regular atv's shortly into the trail Emmanuel was immediately aware of the situation and suggested we ride UTVS for our safety. The utvs were just as fun and so much easier to use. Oh Emmanuel has amazing photography skills as well, thank you picacho adventures. Highly recommend, extremely beautiful.

I really like this place. We have been doing horseback riding here for years. You start out riding in the desert and end up on the beach. It is beautiful Private beach we watch them releasing sea turtles. It was sunset. The weather was wonderful. The horses were very sweet Emmanuel was a very good guide. I highly recommend going here and we will continue to ride at this place. read more

Had an amazing morning on the UTV followed by horseback riding on the beach. Bruno was an outstanding tour guide whose personality immediately made me feel at ease. He took the time to ensure I felt safe as well as taught me a few things about the land and the environment we were in. Hands down I will be using this company again on my next trip to Cabo. -be sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty or muddy. -restrooms were very clean -sold drinks and snacks read more

We chose the horseback riding option from picacho adventures. Our guide Emmanuel was very informative, and provided lots of guidance to our group of 5 who had very little horseback experience, and made us all feel very comfortable. The setting was amazing with great vistas of the mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The beachside portion of the ride was especially memorable. I highly recommend both picacho adventures and Emmanuel in particular. read more
