What Travelers Are Saying
"Absolutely insane — in the best way"
I've been to Cabo four times and this was the most unique thing I've ever done here. Driving a real race buggy on the actual Baja 1000 course felt surreal. The guides were ex-racers and their passion for the sport was contagious. The Pacific beach at the end was deserted and gorgeous. Do not skip this.
"Best excursion we've ever done"
My husband is a huge motorsports fan and this was his dream come true. The buggies are fast, the terrain is wild, and the guides know every inch of the course. We ended up at a remote Pacific beach with no one else around. Absolutely unforgettable.
"Pure adrenaline"
If you want something different from the usual Cabo tours, book this immediately. The race buggies are legit — not some watered-down tourist version. The desert terrain is challenging and exciting, and the guides push you just enough. One of the best days of my life.
"Incredible experience"
This was amazing — the buggies are powerful and the course is genuinely challenging. Lost one star because the briefing ran a bit long before we got going, but once we were out on the course it was pure joy. The remote beach at the end made it feel like a real adventure.
