Full-Day Off-Road Motorcycle Adventure to Cabo Pulmo & Fox Canyon Waterfalls
Ride Baja’s raw spine from desert ridges to a protected coral reef or plunge into Fox Canyon’s waterfalls. This full-day off-road motorcycle and race-car adventure blends high-octane trail work with marine and canyon highlights—ideal for riders who want speed, scenery, and a coastal reset.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate heavily before and during the trip
Desert heat and physical exertion deplete fluids fast—carry 2–3 liters and top up at the provided hydration stations.
Bring closed-toe, ankle-support boots
Off-road terrain is rocky and deep in sections; sturdy boots protect ankles and improve control on a CRF450X.
Protect electronics from sand and salt
Use a dry bag or zip-lock for phones and cameras; salt spray at Cabo Pulmo can corrode gear quickly.
Plan for both heat and shade
Layer a breathable long-sleeve and a wind shell—temperatures swing between hot exposed ridges and cool canyon alcoves.
