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. « less

I had a blast! This was one of the highlights of my trip to Cabo san Lucas. You're picked up and taken to their track where you spend a few hours driving Baja buggies. They have about 150hp and don't go ridiculously fast but I got mine up to about 75mph ... then I flipped it. Walked away with not... More

We knew we wanted to do some sort of adventure & this was a great choice. I have had much experience with ATV`s & Sand Rails in the dunes so this type of experience was an easy decision. After a bit of research we decided to go with Wide Open & we`re very happy we did. We did the 1/2... More

Its not a cheap day but if you like getting off the beaten path and a thrill I'd highly recommend it. These cars are actually run in... More

This is a must! Andrea was great, the drive was a blast. Poor Andrea had to listen to my wife "giggling" for 7 minutes, the time it took to drive the lap, in the helmet communications!

To start this off, my wife and I arrived in Cabo Wednesday June 20 7pm. Checked into our resort, had some dinner and went to bed. We were on a plane all day! I made sure I set an alarm for 6:45am and my pick up was at 7:45am. But being the dummy I am, I forgot to reset my... More

I'll keep it simple... This was one of the most amazing experiences ever. My girlfriend and I had a blast. I can't even imagine visiting Cabo from now without mobbing a baja car through the desert. Our guide David was awesome, and has a serious passion for baja racing, which made it that much more exciting. Do it, you will... More
