CAN-AM SXS And Camel Ride

Overview

This Cactus Tours outing pairs two very different beach experiences: an hour driving a CAN-AM SXS X3 side by side, shared with another member of your party, followed by an hour of camel encounter and riding along the sand. The whole thing runs about three hours, with time at the Cactus Tours point and at Playa Migrino.

Round trip transportation from your hotel is included. The exact pick up is sent through messaging after booking. Once at the site there is a bilingual guide, safety gear, water, and a tequila tasting, which is included in the visit.

It suits travellers who want driving and animals in one outing, including families, since there is a complimentary kids club and nanny service for children from 6 months to 11 years who are not participating. Drivers must be at least 16, and anyone under 18 needs an adult along. Anyone who cannot take photos on the activity itself should note that phones are banned on shared tours for safety reasons.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points are worth knowing before booking this combination tour.

• Extra costs. The US$25.00 per person entrance fee is not included, and souvenir photos are available to purchase on site. One reviewer felt the overall cost was high for what you get and flagged extra costs.
• Photos. Cell phones are not allowed during shared tours for safety reasons. Reviewers mention that you cannot take your own pictures and that buying the operator's photos adds up, so decide in advance how much the photos matter to you. Guests wanting to use a phone must book a private tour.
• Body limits. The UTV requires a maximum weight of 125 kg (275 pounds) and a minimum height of 1.10 m (110 cm / 43.3 in), with a fit test possible. Camel riders must be at least 5 years old with a maximum weight of 125 kg (270 lb).
• Dress for weather. The tour operates in all weather conditions and the listing asks travellers to dress appropriately.
• Pace and riding. One reviewer with motorcycle experience appreciated being allowed to actually ride through a lot of trails rather than a slow tourist crawl. The UTV is shared with another member of your party, so take turns or pair up accordingly.
• Kids. A complimentary kids club and nanny service covers children from 6 months to 11 years who are not participating, available on request. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult, and the minimum driving age is 16.

Common issues. The main gripes are cost related: the entrance fee is separate, declining the optional protection benefit puts a temporary hold on your credit card, and photos must be bought since phones are banned on shared tours. One reviewer called the whole thing expensive for what you get. The listing also bars pregnant travellers, people with back problems, anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and recent surgery patients. Groups can be large, with a maximum of 100 travellers on the tour, and cancellations within 24 hours of the start time receive no refund.
