About
Now you get to experience the thrill in the driver’s seat! In the heart of the untamed Baja peninsula you get to drive in the safety of our custom built race cars, always within radio-shot of our experienced guides and the professional support crew of Wide Open Excursions! The closed course track is just outside Cabo San Lucas. Wide Open Cabo’s Baja Challenge (BC) racecars are not “dune buggies” or “sand rails”; they are the same cars that race in the Baja 1000. With Wide Open Adventures you will experience the thrill of racing in the Baja 1000. You will slide around sandy berms, view scenic trails, capture the true beauty of the Baja peninsula while safely strapped into a suspended racing seat by a 5-point safety harness system. Wide Open Cabo’s racecars are powered by 4 cylinder 2 liter engines that provide almost 200 hp. They are outfitted with off-road racing suspension and shock absorbers that provide 18” of suspension travel. We run exclusively on BF Goodrich All Terrain TA and Mud Terrain TA Tires. Each car is equipped with a 2 way radio system, internal intercom system, global positioning system, and fresh air filter.For as little as $395.00 USD, plus tax, you can strap yourself in one of our purpose built off-road race cars. Our staff will explain the safety precautions and provide you with some tips on how to handle these thrilling desert machines before tackling our off-road course. Three options are available, and while none of them require previous off-road experience, these cars have manual transaxles so experience in driving a standard shift vehicle is helpful.

This was a professional, fun, thrilling afternoon adventure into the wild world of desert racing. I’ve known about Wide Open for ten years and this was the first time I had opportunity to drive with them. I’ll never be able to afford to own my own desert race team, but I love all things desert and fast! I’ve built my own Baja bug and even added tracks to it to run in the deep snow in Idaho. I built a Meyers Towd. Ive owned a KTM dual sport 640 and run 1000s of miles on the backroads and dust of Oregon and Idaho. I’ve watched years of the Baja 100,500 and the Dakar races. I’m a fan! With that said, this adventure packed into an afternoon, giving me 60 miles of driving a prepped desert race car... ticked all the boxes!! Angel and his crew layed-out the guidelines, gave driving tips, later out the dangers, helped us drive with enthusiasm and realistic caution... then let us hit the gas with as much skill as we were able to drive with... Amazing!
If you’ve dreamed about it stop and head south to Wide Open and just make it happen.
I’ll be back!

This was AMAZING - Angel knew I was a little scared so he was very calm and reassuring. My husband loved every second of it. We did the Taste of Baja experience and it was just so cool to drive something that powerful. We had a fantastic day and we can’t recommend this enough if you’re a thrill seeker!

My son and I spent several hours on the Taste of Baja activity. Was one of the most amazing experiences I have had in an excursion. After a brief intro, we got to drive an actual Baja challenge car for 10 laps around a huge trail
Course. We spent several hours with Angel who was an amazing guide and instructor. He also made awesome photos and movies of my son and I. He even taught my son to drive a manual transmission! 10/10 experience! Can’t wait to do again!

Angel and his crew were absolutely amazing, and took care of us very well. We felt welcomed, informed of what to expect, along with beverages and snacks! Angel took beautiful photos that we can now hang in our home to remember this trip by... and to inspire us for a future Baja journey.

Absolutely fantastic experience with Wide Open Cabo! From start to finish, the off-roading adventure was a thrilling and unforgettable journey. Albert from Wide Open Cabo is incredibly professional, ensuring that every detail is taken care of and that we both felt safe and confident throughout the experience.
The vehicles provided were top-notch, rugged, and ready to tackle the diverse terrain of Cabo. The team on site were knowledgeable and passionate and were ready to assist if we needed it. The track was breathtaking, offering stunning views of the desert, mountains, and coastline that you just can't get anywhere else.The thrill of driving through the beautiful landscapes of Cabo, combined with the excellent service, makes this adventure a must-do.
I highly recommend Wide Open Cabo for anyone looking to add a bit of excitement to their vacation. It's an exhilarating way to see the natural beauty of the region, and you'll come away with incredible memories and a big smile on your face. Can't wait to do it again!

Angel's hosting is 💯 and same for the whole Wide Open crew. From pickup to drop-off, the 1/2 day adventure went very smoothly, the team was extremely helpful and accomodating, and the cars were a blast to drive. If you want to have an unforgettable race car experience do not pass this opportunity by! I'll be back for the multiday adventure for sure.

Initially, thank you to Angel and Temayo for your outstanding hospitality. Prior to coming on this trip to beautiful Cabo I found it difficult to find an untraditional excursion.. then I came across wide open. Angel was very informative and I felt confident in his instructions and safety precautions prior to starting up the baja. The property was beautiful and the track had the perfect amount of curves and straight aways. The gentleman even were able to rig up my go pro to our car prior to us beginning our laps. Thankfully there was a bathroom and plenty of snacks and beverages on site. I felt very safe while having a blast going nearly 70 mph on the track! Angel airdropped UHD quality photos and videos of us on the track upon our departure. I would recommend to anyone visiting Cabo that desires an exclusive once in a lifetime excursion!!! Thank you again!

My father is a pretty fantastic driver. He’s done race series throughout the country and this was spectacular. I was a passenger for the first half and decided the speeds were too high for me. The head of the operation was Angel. He was amazing,
Spoke perfect English and took really good care of us. The cars are incredibly well maintained, and, you go extremely fast on a 5 miles sand track. This is not for the faint of heart and you should definitely be an experienced driver.

By far the most fun tour I’ve ever had on vacation. Angel and his crew were awesome, they pretty much let you have free reign of the course with limited rules. I you want to have a full on off road experience without guides slowing you down from the front or Eagle eyeing you from behind, I seriously recommend this activity. every time I go on vacation I look for something fun and unique to do, no cookie cutter BS . For Cabos this was it!!!

Hello,
on this page you have this advertised being as low as $395, however on the website the lowest price I am seeing is $715? What option is $395? If it is $715 is there a discount for booking multiple packages?

my husband and 16 year old want to do this. Do you know if they can "split" the driving time behind the wheel?
Written 13 March 2019
They are very easy to deal with and my answer would be, yes. My husband has always corresponded with them via email. We go to Cabo almost every year and found this company very good and a lot of fun! Enjoy!

Can u book the day of our do u need to book a week ahead or a day before
Written 6 March 2018
There's a chance you could book the day before but not the day of. You have a driver take you to the track and venue, so they need a little time in advance to coordinate schedules

hello, my 13 year old son and me would like to go on a tour would my 13 year old be able to ride by himself
Written 5 March 2017
I do not think they would allow but also would not recommend it. This is highly skilled driving and dangerous. I would not want my 13 year old driving and our children have grown up driving on our farm. As a passenger he would have an awesome time and is still very involved in the radio communication end of it. P.S. We did the lunch tour.
