The most unique and heartwarming tour of our Cabo vacation - Rancho Carisuva is truly a special experience. The ranch is a sanctuary and their tours are filled with passion because the volunteers care about their work! They are conservationists and advocate for the welfare of the animals. The donkey hike was spectacular and our guides, Max & Margot, were kind, personable, and knowledgeable. Our driver was safe and punctual. I highly recommend this unique experience. All the tours at Rancho Carisuva support the rescue efforts of the ranch. There is heart at this place and it hosts the most fulfilling tours.

Unique animal Beach Experience - Great experience for animal lovers. You are paired with a wonderful donkey for a hike through the desert to an amazing vista where you can spot whales cruising on the pacific coast during season of course. You then continue down the beach with your trusty donkey partner. Afterwards you can stay and enjoy the farm and or the beach. It is a great eco friendly experience.

A unique experience and beautiful views! - You should be in pretty good physical condition just because there are some small hills and deep sand we walked through, plus you have to try to stay in front of your donkey which is easier said than done! But overall we really enjoyed it. The guide (don't remember her name-she was from France) was very patient, sweet, and knowledgeable. The donkeys were adorable and they sometimes got a little feisty but were fun to be around. If you love animals you will probably enjoy this experience. The ocean views are incredible and almost worth the price of the excursion itself!

Unique and Fun Experience - We had a great time! My adult daughter found this activity and I’m so glad we did it. Our guide Roman was great! He was always looking out for us and very kind to the donkeys. The donkeys were great as well. Just be prepared for hiking on dense fine sand. All the staff were fabulous and the facility is very nice too. Enjoyed the treats for the donkeys and hikers at the end! Unique experience!

It's a really fun and... - It's a really fun and unique experience. The volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable. The donkeys were adorably stubborn yet cooperative. The walk was beautiful; we got to see a lovely view of the beach and the ocean. A great family activity or if you're in the mood for something different while supporting a great cause.

A memorable walk to the beach with a burro - The rest of my family went horseback riding (and loved it), but I chose the burro walk. It was just me (a female of somewhat advanced age), Jade (a lovely young woman) and Felipe, our recalcitrant burro. I had a great time, but Felipe made it a better story by being a rather reluctant walker. Jade handled him well, and we completed the walk to the beach (amazing close-by whale sightings) and to the overlook (more whales!). On our way back, we even posed for California tourists who wanted a picture of us(!) with Felipe. Just for the record, the walk to the beach is through fairly deep, uncompacted sand so it's unsuitable for people who might have balance issues or prefer secure footing.

Not as advertised - We enjoyed the view from the hike and our guides were very nice. However, what was advertised as a 3.75 excursion lasted maybe half that long. Also, we were promised snacks and were not given any food. I cannot recommend this as good value for money.

Careful. This place is a SCAM. - We booked a hike with a donkey on New Year's Day. We could not find a ride from our hotel in Cabo out to the ranch and so we tried to cancel a couple of days before. We heard nothing from Rancho Carisuva. We tried calling their number and emailing but we heard nothing to confirm that the trip was canceled. Thinking we would get charged for the excursion if we did not show, we finally found a very expensive ride to the ranch on New Year's Day. When we arrived, there was no tour. A person from the ranch said they cancelled our excursion but we could get our money back since there was no tour. Despite more calls and emails, we have heard nothing from Rancho Carisuva and they have not reimbursed our money. A simple call, text or email would have saved us a lot of time and money.
