Great time doing the ATV excursion with my 22 year old son. Tour guide was great. Semi Auto ATVs easy for beginners but plenty powerful enough to make it fun for those who have ridden. Enjoyed seeing the scattered small ranches, desert landscape and of course the small waterfall and swim hole.
April 2025. Great time on the ATV tour. They called and recommended we postpone the excursion for later in the day as it was going to be hot. Great service and very informative sharing local knowledge along the route. It was the wife’s first time driving an ATV and they were very attentive to her needs.
I highly recommend the ATV tour. Angel went above and beyond for our group. We had a blast and received exceptional service! We got to see the Malecon , canyon, waterfall and the ranch life around loreto. Will definitely do this again.!
Tomamos el tour de ATV. La pasamos increíble. Fui con mi hermano y las motos funcionaron excelente y fue fácil manejar. La ruta no es complicada, pero es divertida. Nos llevaron a un río. Lamentablemente no había agua. Ángel y Maira fueron nuestros guías, nos tomaron fotos y nos dieron re hidratantes y agua necesaria. Después nos llevaron a su rancho donde pudimos convivir con sus animales: unos preciosos caballos, cantas, patos, gallos y vacas. Muy lindo lugar y gran vibra. Les recomiendo tomar el tour con ellos porque también recorrimos el centro de Loreto con las motos. Una forma diferente de recorrer el lugar. Nos gustó mucho.
Thank you, amazing route!
