BEST OF BAJA SELECT NORTHBOUND

*This is a “Select” style MotoQuest ride, which features an abridged itinerary from our original public offering. We focus on the best parts of the original tour with less days on the road.

Quick Facts about ‘Select’ Tours – I am already familiar with MotoQuest, so what is different about these tours? 

  • Low impact on your schedule. Arrive at the starting location on Saturday, head home the following Sunday allowing the adventure to only impact one calendar week on your schedule, maximizing your paid time off. 
  • Greater flexibility on inclusions. More and more we are seeing riders local to the arrival or departure destination looking to take part in our adventures. By making previously inclusive items such as local lodging and rental motorcycles optional, this format provides greater flexibility on customizing your package specifically for what you need and nothing you don’t.
    • Rental Motorcycles – Don’t worry, you can still rent any of our adventure fleet for the ride, we are just making it easier than ever for riders to use their own motorcycle without confusing pricing.
    • Local Lodging – By making the last night of lodging optional, those who are local to the staging location will not need to pay for an unnecessary night of lodging. For those out of towners, if you want to get back home as soon as possible you will have the option to fly out the same evening we finish our tour giving you all day Sunday to ease back into real life. To accommodate this we will host our Farewell dinner the last night on the road. 

What if you are thinking “I don’t like it, take me back to the old way!”?

Don’t worry, all of the Baja programs you know and love are still available as full package deals with our standard inclusive list. We only offer these new Select tours to welcome a wider audience looking to experience MotoQuest in a more flexible way.
