Worth it!!! - We had to reschedule due to rain and that whole experience was so easy, so I was grateful for that. We had such a good time and I can’t even count how many times I said “this is so beautiful!” Nico took great photos (so maybe have your hair brushed and wear some mascara, cuz one of us 🙋♀️ was very unhappy with how she looked 🤣) many of the people spoke English on site including the photographer who came with us. Our butts are sore but our hearts are full!

Jungle/Beach Horseback riding - 5/5 stars — Highly recommend this horseback riding tour in Sayulita! Riding through the jungle and along the beach was absolutely beautiful, with incredible scenery the whole way. The guides were fantastic—friendly, professional, and made the experience fun and comfortable from start to finish. The horses were well cared for, and the mix of jungle trails and ocean views made this a highlight of our trip. If you’re visiting Sayulita and looking for a memorable adventure, this is worth doing.

Great Trail ride - We went riding for about an hour. I was the only one other than a guide. The guide spoke good English and explained things along the way. The horses looked well cared for.

Great horseback riding and ranch - Wonderful people at the ranch, safe healthy horses and lovely to ride on a private beach through the jungle. It was very hot so bring a hat and sunscreen! Best part was the use of the pool to cool down after our ride.

Jungle and beach horseback ride - Jose was a fun and fantastic guide for our ride through the jungle to the beach. He gave great and clear instructions on how to guide the horse. I’ve been horseback riding before (not my favorite activity) and this is by far the best instruction I’ve had. My daughter (16) loves riding and had an amazing time. They did a great job selecting the appropriate horse for each person. It was a small group and fantastic. The photographer took the most incredible photos. Very memorable experience. Highly recommend.

Wonderful golden hour beach ride - My two daughters (12, 18) and I booked the sunset ride, and we were not disappointed. We had a small group of 10 riders, including us and our two gracious guides, Jorge y Jose. It was a little scary riding through the forest to the beach! There were lots of skinny trails and tight squeezes, and some loud cars and motorbikes passing by when we were on the roads, but those bomb-proof horses couldn’t care less. They were sure-footed and followed the path easily.
The beach was beautiful and you could tell the horses wanted to tear it up. We all waited at one end of the beach while one guide would take one rider to the other end and help them gallop back to the group. My youngest (12 yrs old) galloped for her first time like a champ. It was a thrilling experience!
The ride back was similar but a little less technical and again the horses just trotted along and got us home safely.
Jorge and Jose were both excellent guides, kind and chatty, in very good English.
The photos were beautiful- they work that golden hour 💅
The tequila tasting was very informative, but by that point we were too tired for tequila! Maybe next time if we do a day time ride.

highly recommend. - My daughter and I had a wonderful time. The guides were very kind and patient and made everyone feel safe at all times. Arriving at the beach through the jungle was breathtaking. This experience is a core memory we won't forget from this special trip. It was appreciated that they provided transportation to and from our accommodations.

Jungle-Beach Horseback adventure - We thoroughly enjoyed our adventure to Sayulita to ride through the jungle area toward a small local black beach on the Pacific side. Our guides/vaqueros were careful to ensure everyone's safety whether an experienced rider or not. The only thing that would be better is if saddles/stirrups were fitted or adjusted for height to make the ride more comfortable. Otherwise - our time was well spend seeing areas we would not have experienced otherwise. Our "paparazzi", photographer, was EXCELLENT at his job and I think worked harder than anyone . . other than the horses!!!

NOT SAFE ride & cross BUSY road in the DARK not for children EXPERIENCED riders only - Experienced riders only. They do not have helmets. You ride along the road/highway for a good portion before entering the jungle. No information was taken about riders before hand (height weight or ability to ride) Correct horses were not placed with experienced vs non experienced riders. My 11 year old with no helmet was placed on a horse not from this particular ranch. All the other horses did not like her horse so they would bite or be aggressive. My 11 year old horse ended up jumping out of line into the street into on coming traffic! She inevitably had to change horses mid ride in the jungle. She was kicked and has a twisted ankle. The horses saddles were all loose. Either not placed properly or too old stretched. Very dangerous for riders as they would slide side to side. The sunset ride ends riding thru the jungle in the DARK then crossing a major road in the DARK and riding along the road in the DARK. The ranch has no WiFi no service. You cannot get an uber or call a taxi. We got a ride home with one of the horse handlers wives? after standing around for 30+ minutes after the ride in the dark with our daughter. Unsafe in so many. Experienced riders only. Be warned
