Although there are plenty of opportunities to kick back and relax in San Felipe, there are also a few ways to get your heart pumping and really kick things up a notch. One fast and furious way to add some excitement to your vacation is by renting an all terrain vehicle and taking it for a ride.

A very popular ATV rental company in San Felipe is San Felipe Off Road. They offer two exciting options for their ATV rentals. You can rent an ATV by the hour to use on their large ATV park, complete with twists, turns bumps and dips to maneuver through, around and over. You can also take an ATV on a guided adventure tour through the foothills of Scorpion pass or a beach trip along the beautiful Sea of Cortez.

"We're home now but are still reminiscing about the buggy adventure you provided. We both had a great time and I'd do it again in a minute.
