Canyon Ride, Water Slides, Snacks

Overview

This Wild Canyon Adventures outing pairs a guided camel ride through a Cabo canyon with a visit to a sanctuary of rescued animals, lunch, and access to an on-site water park. The whole thing runs about 4 hours. You meet at the park itself, since hotel pickup is not part of the package, though a round-trip shuttle from the Tourist Corridor can be added for US$10 per person. Groups are capped at 10 travellers.

The order of the day is straightforward. Back on solid ground, the sanctuary visit is self-paced: reviewers mention petting ducks and rabbits, holding turtles and guinea pigs, and meeting exotic birds. Lunch follows, with quesadillas, guacamole, chips and salsa, a granola bar, and one drink ranging from a smoothie to a margarita. Wagoona Aqua Park access is included too, along with hanging bridges, a bike track, a pump track, and a hyper-bungy.

It suits families with children aged 4 and up, and reviewers travelling with young kids, an elderly relative, and a child with autism all described staff as patient and accommodating. Riders over 220 lbs (100 kg) cannot take part, and the terrain and activities rule out wheelchair users. Budget for the park entry fee, which is charged separately on site.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape the day, from the heat and the dusty access road to what you can and cannot carry on the camel.

• What to bring. The listing asks for comfortable clothes, closed shoes, sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, a bathing suit, and a towel. One reviewer also suggests bringing a water bottle, since free refill stations are on site.
• Ride length and heat. Reviewers consistently call the camel ride short but satisfying, with one noting that a shorter ride suits the hot weather. Plan for heat throughout the day and cool off at the included Wagoona Aqua Park.
• Photos on the ride. Cameras and personal items are not allowed during the ride because you need to hold on. The operator sells photo packages, and one reviewer reported taking pictures with a camel with their own phone after the ride.
• Food and drink. What the listing calls snacks turned out to be a substantial meal, one reviewer said, with an extra-large quesadilla and good guacamole mentioned by name. One drink is included, and smoothies drew specific praise.
• Group feel. The tour caps at 10 travellers. Reviewers travelling with children and older relatives described the guides as patient, funny, and willing to answer questions about the animals.
• Getting there. You make your own way to Wild Canyon Adventures. The optional shuttle costs US$10 per person from the Tourist Corridor, and one reviewer notes the access road is dirt and bumpy.

Common issues. Two costs sit outside the tour price: a US$25 per person park entry fee paid on site, and the US$10 per person shuttle if you want it. One reviewer felt the extra on-site fees made direct booking worth comparing. Accessibility is limited: the tour is not wheelchair accessible, riders over 220 lbs (100 kg) cannot take part, and people with back, neck, or heart problems, vertigo, or pregnancy are excluded. One reviewer reported paying for a photo link that never arrived, though others called the photo package worth the cost.
