Night Ziplines and UTV Adventure in Los Cabos with Tacos & Tequila

Night Ziplines and UTV Adventure in Los Cabos with Tacos & Tequila

Take the only after-dark zipline in Los Cabos: a UTV approach through canyon scrub, a spine-tingling crossing of Mexico’s longest hanging wooden bridge, then tacos, tequila tasting and s'mores under the stars. This four-hour evening adventure pairs raw desert terrain with local flavors.

The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a photo ID & driver’s license

A valid photo ID is required at check-in; bring your driver’s license if you intend to drive a UTV.

Hydrate before you arrive

There are free water refill stations on-site, but start hydrated—night rides still demand physical stamina in desert air.

Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes

Platforms and the wooden bridge can be slippery; trail runners or hiking shoes provide better traction and ankle support.

Layer up for night temperatures

Desert evenings cool quickly—bring a light jacket for the ride back and while eating on the rooftop.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Stand mid-span on the wooden bridge for an unbroken canyon panorama away from the zipline crowds
  • Rooftop Lion’s Den—ask guides for the lesser-known viewpoint to photograph the canyon at moonrise

Wildlife

  • Coyote
  • Greater roadrunner

Conservation Note

The operator maintains refill stations to reduce single-use bottles and encourages guests to stay on designated trails and minimize light and noise to reduce wildlife disturbance.

The canyon corridor was traditionally grazing and ranching land; in recent decades adventure operators repurposed trails and ridgelines into eco-tour attractions that interpret the desert landscape.

What to Bring

Headlamp or small flashlightEssential

Useful for moving around the staging areas before and after the zip runs if you step away from the lit platforms.

Hydration stations are available to refill—bring your own container to cut waste and stay hydrated.

Common Questions

Is there a minimum age or height to ride the ziplines?
