A different side of Mexico - This experience involves lots of laughing and walking punctuated by some steep climbs and delicious ice cream. It was truly a unique experience that turned out to be even more beautiful that I had hoped. It is a 10/10 adventure and I would tell anyone coming to this area to go with Danny and Jordan on this adventure!

Highly Recommend this Experience - This experience was a great change from the beach and shopping. The views we experienced and the amount of knowledgeable history provided by Danny and Jordan was impressive! Finishing off the tour with a home cooked meal was beyond measure. Delicious and welcoming from that Mexican family! Mucho gracias 🙏

An amazing hike - We had an amazing experience exploring the nature of Mexico with Danny. The night hike was the best part: hearing the sounds and seeing the bright stars was absolutely magical. Danny was very knowledgeable and kind. We enjoyed meeting his friends at the end of the trip and eating a traditional meal at their rancho. This is a must trip if you want to learn about Mexico outside of its resorts. Thank you, Danny!

Memories to take home! - Hard to describe how much I enjoyed this experience. Danny was helpful before the tour in answering a couple questions. Pick up was right at my hotel which was very convenient. We drove the hour or so towards the canyon and made a quick stop at Yaka Charly for sorbet. Unbelievably delicious. (Bring pesos!)
From there we continued into the preserve. The hike itself was easy and was a beautiful glimpse/taste of the terrain. I am an experienced hiker/mover but this would be totally approachable even for those who are not. Danny was a wealth of information on so much of what I was seeing. He highlighted a lot of the vegetation, and gave insight throughout the entire trip on the region, the people, and the challenges they face.
There is a small pool to jump into at the top end of the hike. This is an out and back trail. The bulk of the way back was in the dark with headlamps that Danny provided. Seeing the stars, some night creatures 🦂, and hearing a coyote or two made it even more delightful.
From there we headed to the home of YoYo, local ranchero, and enjoyed a traditional dinner with fresh made tortillas and cinnamon tea.
If you are looking for something quieter, to escape the lights and noise of Cabo? And get a taste of nature. This is it. Danny was experienced, friendly and knows his stuff. He speaks fluent English for those of us lacking in our Spanish. It is clear that he has created tours with the locals in mind. The whole experience left me feeling content and grateful. And like I was part of the culture here for at least a small moment.
Honestly? I didn't want the evening to end. But when it did, I was dropped right back at the hotel doorstep.
If you prefer less commerical and "touristy" experiences with an eye on nature, and helping the locals in a more sustainable way? Book it. Now.

Amazing hike - Sierra de la Laguna - Experience of a Lifetime - We were very lucky to have a private tour with Danny. He was a great guide and told us about the flora and fauna of the arean, as well as the geology and history. We arrived in the valley when the sun was setting, so it was not too hot. The trail took us through the dry riverbed across sand benches and rock formations smoothed by rhe water. The vaiety of trees and cactus was amazing. Before heading back, we went for a refresing swim in a natural pool. After sunset we were hiking down the valley in the light of a full moon (and with the provided head lights) and we heard the howls of coyotes in the distance. If you take this hike you should be fit and wear good shoes, since it involves boldering over rock formations and balancing across gravel beds (50% at night). We ended the evening at a Rancher‘s house eating a traditional meal. Kudos to Danny for being a great guide and putting an unforgettable tour together for us.

Discovering the Hidden Magic of Los Cabos with Danny - Absolutely recommend this experience! Danyi is not just an amazing guide but an all-around awesome person. He took us on a journey through the hidden beauty of the Sierra de la Laguna, showing us a side of Los Cabos most people never get to see. Along the way, he shared his knowledge and gave us a glimpse into the real culture of the area, which made it all the more special. This wasn’t your typical touristy activity—it was such a cool, unique adventure that stands out from anything else you’d find in Los Cabos. Definitely worth it!

A true authentic experience! Hike and late lunch. - Where do I start? Do you want an authentic Cabo experience? This is it! Our tour guide, Danny P was fantastic and full of great facts and history during the whole day. We were picked up at our resort at 2pm in a very comfortable and clean air conditioned van for our ride to the Sierra de la Laguna national park. This takes you into the beautiful country outside Cabo. We stopped at a local farm where they had homemade sorbet (Damian’s) in flavors you have likely never experienced, it was terrific. Then we continued down the road to our destination the Ranchero where we checked, put some waters in our backpack and got ready to head out. Danny taught us about native plants throughout the hike and history about the rancheros in the area and the Cabo region. We took an occasional dip in the natural springs which was quite refreshing. Where hiking shoes with tread or chacos, tennis shoes must have good tread. You will be in sand and climbing on rocks and trails. Our return hike back we had headlamps on, the pictures we took were amazing. Bring something dry to change into before your traditional ranchero lunch. It’s a light dinner but just right. We returned back to our property around 830 or 9pm. A full day but by far the best experience I have ever had in Mexico, let alone Cabo.

Desert mezcal sorbet and so much more - The guides are wonderful knowledgeable and fun! We had a fantastic time getting out of the city and into the desert. This tour is a chance to explore a very different part of Baja with some amazing people. Thank you!

A peaceful little adventure - Great experience. We had a really small group and had nearly the entire canyon to ourselves. We learned a lot about the local history and the plants and wildlife. Hiking in the afternoon and evening was great. Lots of wildlife and quiet moments. Dinner was fantastic. When traveling as a vegetarian we usually don’t expect much, but the family prepared a vegetarian alternative to the usual meal that was beyond expectations. Would recommend for anyone who enjoys nature and is looking for something a little more adventurous outside of the cabo bubble.
