Best Horseback-Riding Experience! - My daughter and I had such a nice time riding horses on the beach and through the desert. I liked that this company had smaller groups, and we ended up having a private tour for just the two of us. This was our first time on horseback, and our guide was incredibly patient and kind to my 10-year-old daughter, who was a nervous about her first riding experience. The transportation to and from the hotel was included in the cost of the tour, and communication with the tour operator was excellent. Highly recommend!

A nice treat on an overcast day - Everybody was terrific. The gentleman who picked us up, the gentleman who greeted us at the ranch, the guide, the bartender…all so friendly! We were alone on our ride with our guide. I have more experience than my fella so we all went at my fella’s pace. What’s really cool is that the guide felt his horse wasn’t feeling well about 3/4 way through the ride so we stopped and a couple of others from the ranch brought an ATV for the guide to lead us back on. It must have been THE most boring ride for him, but I was impressed that he didn’t want to force his horse to keep going if it was ailing. They seemed to take good care of their horses. The ride itself went along a dirt road by a highway, then cut through some village areas where there were older communities plus construction of some high end places. Lots of cacti, flowers, trees, and of course the beach. Very good experience.

Amazing views - 10/10 would recommend. I had such a wonderful time. The staff were very friendly and experienced. The route to the beach was beautiful and the ocean was breathtaking to see on horseback. Our guide even took photos for us. My horse was named Abel and he was so well trained & beautiful.

A must-do while in Cabo - What a fun experience! And wait till you are on the beach with your horse. It is so serene and beautiful! Pedro, our guide, was patient and made sure we were comfortable. Hope to do it again in near future. Thanks for the wonderful family memories!

Beautiful views, but took forever and customer service was meh - My son loves horses so we've done a lot of trail rides in various places (Colorado, Santa Barbara, Costa Rica, etc.). This was probably the worst one. Don't get me wrong, the views of the beach and desert were beautiful and made it worth doing, but we weren't thrilled with this particular company. First, we were picked up at 10:30 at our hotel. Our driver was friendly and said he had to pick up other groups at two other resorts. This took much longer than we expected and the driver, while friendly, drove like a maniac. We didn't get to the riding site until 12:00, then we had to wait another hour or so before we actually hit the trail. We told our guide that we had ridden before, but were not experts at all. He didn't even give us a refresher about the basics of riding. The first and last parts were along a busy highway, so it wasn't very scenic. The ride was over two hours long and our guide didn't suggest a break, only took pics of us at a scenic overlook on the beach. The pics came out nicely. The horses didn't get any water the entire time, which I found unusual since it was hot and dry. Our guide didn't check on how we were doing, just stopped and looked back and gave us a thumbs up once in a while. My horse and my husband's fought and my saddle became lopsided about 2 hours into the ride, so I was very uncomfortable at the end and desperate for the bathroom. The description says water is included, but we had to pay for it. Tequila tasting at the end was free, though. We didn't get back to our hotel until almost 5:00 pm, so it was a MUCH longer day than we expected. It was also more expensive than any other ride we've done before.

Pick somewhere close - The ride was fine but having to wait an hour for the jeep excursion to return and then being dropped off a hour later was not fun

Beautiful place to ride but operation not the greatest - Late pick up. Fairly dilapidated facilities. Where horses were had glass and broken tiles on ground. One horse was laggard to which ride leader was inattentive. On plus side wife had good horse. Beach was spectacular and staff was pretty friendly.

Never again with this company. Very disappointing with the ride but loved the front office staff. - The only memorable part was conversing with the individuals who welcomed us and our driver Juan Carlos who picked us and and took us back to our hotel. Our guide was on his phone most of the time through our ride with the exception of the times when he blew the whistle for the horses. The horses did not move any faster with the whistle and he just continued on the trail. Most boring ride ever. He never offered water until we asked. Never asked is if we wanted to take a picture. Therefore no pics to upload. Never stopped to give the horses a break from the hot sun or to give them water.
