About
Wide Open Cabo runs UTV (utility terrain vehicle) tours from its marina-area location on Blvd. Paseo de la Marina. The key differentiator from standard ATV operators is the side-by-side format: families ride together in a four-wheeled vehicle rather than each person on their own ATV.
This makes the experience accessible to kids who are too young to handle a solo ATV but old enough to enjoy the off-road adventure — typically 8 years old and up as passengers.
The tours cover Baja desert terrain with the dramatic scenery that defines the cape region — cacti, arroyos, and mountain views with Pacific glimpses depending on the route. The guides set a manageable pace and adjust to the ability and confidence level of the group, which makes it workable for first-timers.
With 72 reviews at 4.7 stars, the operation is smaller than some Cabo adventure companies but maintains strong quality marks. The marina location makes pre- or post-tour logistics easy — you can grab breakfast at the marina before departure or lunch there after returning.
Note the limited weekend hours: closed Sundays and closing at 2 PM on Saturdays. Weekday tours offer the most flexibility. Book through wideopenbaja.com in advance, particularly in peak season.

Why Kids Love It
Wide Open Cabo specializes in high-energy off-road Baja experiences — UTV (side-by-side) tours through desert terrain where families can ride together in a vehicle versus individual ATVs. The side-by-side format means parents and kids share one vehicle, making it more accessible for younger participants who might not be old enough to operate an ATV independently.
