Great way to spend the day - We had a great time! They easily helped to coordinate a large group and were very accommodating in getting us transferred from the cruise port. The kids loved it. Beautiful views from the trail ride, beautiful horses. Our bus driver gave us a great tour of Ensenada on the way over and even had cold water/beer waiting for us. Would definitely go again.

Relaxed experience - Our guide Alex was prompt and friendly. Horses were calm and experienced. Alex took lots of photos and sent them to us. We bundled up to keep warm. It was a relaxed experience. I would recommend this outing. The view from the mountains down to the ocean made it all worth it.

Absolutely Worth It!! - This ride was incredible! We did the trail/beach combo ride and we got to see a lot of Ensenada and beautiful views. Chrystal is from the US so she speaks English which was helpful. The horses were all very mild-mannered and they made sure to pair us with horses that matched our experience. We also paid extra to be picked up just outside the port; the instructions were very easy to follow and Chrystal was right on time. They also brought us back to the port after the ride. We would definitely book them again!

Beautiful overlook of Ensenada! - We were a big group of 11! Many were first time riders. They came to pick us up and a few of our riders were attached to the ranch riders. That was so helpful! The scenery was amazing overlooking Ensenada. Not overly structured so it was nice to have some open space to ride and enjoy!

Off the beaten path - We had a great trip! The horses were gentle and fun for a first time rider. The path was the perfect combination of starting off easy on roads and then moving on to mountain trails. The views were amazing. This was different than any excursions we'd done before, and it was a great way to branch out and try something new.

Choose the Mountain Trails Ride - This was such a fun experience. My boyfriend and I went out on the mountain trails and I highly recommend this option. I am such a beach person but decided to change things up and choose the mountain trail and I am so glad I did.I felt very immersed in nature, I loved seeing the farms and animals in the area, and the view was amazing. Highly recommend!

My favorite thing about Ensenada trips - Every time I’m in Ensenada I go hang out with Chrystal for a ride and trip into town. Wonderful family business. I’m starting to lose count of how many times I’ve gone but I think 5. I always recommend Desert Trails to everyone I can.

Mountain Horse back riding Tour - Crystal and Alex were awesome Tour guides. Riding a trail into the mountains and overseeing the valley below was simply amazing, beautiful, spectacular! We drove from Nevada. We just copied the address and pasted to our IPhone maps.. EASY! Saved us $35 for the pick up fee. I would highly recommend wearing pants…. As we wore shorts and but it was certainly doable.. We took 2 Advil before we left on the tour.. We had a blast! I would take this tour over and over again. I truly would recommend this tour!

The best horseback riding experience - Crystal is the sweetest person to talk to when we call for horseback riding. We took the mountain trail for my birthday. My in laws and cousins never ridden a horse before but soon got completely comfortable on them. It was our highlight of our Ensenada trip. We came back for a romantic beach horseback riding with our couple friends. We’re getting married next month and our friends just got engaged. Alex again was such a great guide! We had an incredible time! Thank you so much for being so accommodating Crystal and Alex with our last minute planning!
