Baja Off-Road + Cabo Pulmo Diving: High-Speed Rides and World-Class Reefs
Combine high-octane off-road driving in a Maverick X3 Turbo RR with two guided dives at Cabo Pulmo, one of North America’s most vibrant reefs. Finish the day with a farm-to-table dinner at Flora Farms for a perfect mix of adrenaline, marine life, and culinary reward.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you arrive
The East Cape is arid and sun-drenched—drink plenty of water before the ride and bring a refillable bottle for the day.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Chemical sunscreens damage coral—opt for mineral-based, biodegradable formulas to protect Cabo Pulmo.
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
You’ll be getting in and out of the Maverick on uneven terrain; supportive, closed-toe footwear reduces risk of sprains and abrasions.
Tell instructors about medical issues
The operator restricts participation for pregnancy, serious back or heart problems—disclose conditions and your weight when booking.
