Baja UTV Packing List
For UTV drivers, pack all personal items into the provided 80L+ waterproof duffel bag, which will be loaded into your UTV.
We are NOT camping on this trip so that is why the typical camp-related Wilderness gear is omitted from the list below.
Your luggage and any items you don’t wish to bring on the trail with you (IE: clean clothes for flights home), will be locked in the trailer and will be waiting for you after the trip.
The #1 question we get asked about our Baja trip is “Is It Safe?”
The answer is absolutely YES. We’ve designed our route to spend a lot of time in wide open spaces and friendly small towns, and to avoid Tijuana and Mainland Mexico. When we briefly pass through Tecate and Ensenada, we travel closely as a group. The roads are safe, all lodging is very secure and the locals are welcoming and super helpful. We will also have a Spanish speaking crew member with us at all times in case you forget the Spanish word for “taco”
I am a beginner UTV driver, is this trip for me?
Beginner UTV drivers with no prior experience are well suited for this ride!
I’m an experienced rider, will I be bored?
Absolutely not! We’ve designed the trip to allow experienced riders to rip at the front of the pack and not have to worry about the rest of the group keeping up. And our lead guides are trained to ride just a bit faster than you 😉
What are the requirements?
- Valid Passport
- FMM Tourist Visa application
- Valid motorcycle license in your state/country
- Good physical fitness
Where do we sleep?
We will stay in the best available secure hotels and haciendas along the Baja 1000 course – Double Occupancy (single-occupancy available). Again, all lodging is very secure.
Can I bring a C-PAP machine?
Yes, all of the hotels will have power available.
Where do I pack my stuff and keep my luggage?
Your clothing will be packed into a 80L dry bag and loaded into your UTV.
Additional luggage that you are not bringing on the ride can be stored securely at our staging location.
What if my family needs to get in touch with me?
They can email us at info@wildernesscollective.com and your lead guide will be notified of the emergency. We have a satellite phone and satellite text communicator with us at all times.
What if I get lost?
Every guest is provided with a personal SPOT GPS tracking device which we can use to locate them or trigger a search and rescue with the local SAR services.
What is your firearm policy?
Though you may be accustomed to camping with a personal firearm we have a no firearms policy on all our trips in accordance with our insurance policy guidelines. Please leave it at home. If you are found in possession of a firearm or ammunition when crossing the border, or anytime in Mexico, you will be arrested on the spot.
What about recreational drugs?
Our company guidelines, our insurance policies, and our partners are committed to a drug-free environment on our trips whether legal or not.
i.e. Cannabis is now legal in California in plant and edible form but is still not allowed on our trips, per our insurance policy guidelines.
Weed is what gets stuck in your spokes. Dirt is the only drug you’ll need.
If you are found in possession of drugs when crossing the border, or anytime in Mexico, you will be arrested on the spot.
What if I get hurt?
- Should any minor injuries occur on the trip, we will have a comprehensive medical kit along
- Should any serious injury occur, we will take the support vehicle to the nearest town
- Should any life-threatening injury occur we will activate a helicopter medical evacuation through the Satellite Messaging Device
DON’T WORRY, we will have a sat phone with us at all times for inbound and outbound emergency communication with family. All Wilderness trips have been device-free since we started. This means we’ll let your phone take the weekend off in this secure environment.
This is intentional to ensure that you get to experience a unique distraction-free experience and is always a highlight of the guests. Oh and don’t bring your camera either, we’ll be capturing all the photos so you can just enjoy the experience. #trustus
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation fees will be applied per person according to the following schedule, based on the date we receive your written notification:
- Cancellations initiated by the participant received in writing to Wilderness Collective with more than 60 days notice before tour start date will receive their deposit as a credit to be used towards future tours with Wilderness Collective. The credit expires 1 year after issued.
- Cancellations initiated by the participant received in writing to Wilderness Collective with 60 or less days notice before the tour start date will forfeit their deposit as a cancellation fee. Any balance payments can be held on file as a credit to be used towards future tours and services with Wilderness Collective. The credit expires 1 year after issued.
- Cancellations initiated by the participant received in writing to Wilderness Collective with 30 or less days notice before the tour start date will forfeit their deposit and any balance payments as a cancellation fee.
- Cancellations initiated by Wilderness Collective due to conditions beyond their control including but not limited to fires, weather, terrorism, civil strife, floods, earthquakes, or natural catastrophes, etc. will be credited towards a future trip in full amount of balances paid.
No refunds will be provided for any reason for an unused portion of a trip once the trip begins, including if you leave a trip for any reason or have to be removed from a trip. The trip price is a package cost and refunds and credits are not available for services not used.
There are no exceptions to this cancellation and refund policy, including for reasons related to weather, terrorism, civil strife, personal, family or medical emergencies or any other circumstances beyond our control. For this and other reasons, we encourage you to purchase trip cancellation and interruption insurance and travel protection (i.e., travel medical insurance and emergency evacuation services).
Wilderness Collective is not responsible for expenses incurred by Participants in preparing for a trip (eg. nonrefundable advance purchase air tickets, equipment, etc.) or for any additional arrangements pre- or post-departure date. The term applies whether the tour is altered, modified, or canceled by us or by you for any reason.
Our trip minimum is 8 machines, if the trip does not hit the minimum you will be notified and new trip departure dates will be available to you. Because the tour may be canceled when a minimum number of Participants have not signed up, we recommend that you either purchase refundable air tickets or wait until we have confirmed with you approximately 3 months prior to the tour that we have a sufficient number of Participants
