Morning Bliss: Riding into Sayulita’s Heart

As the sun peeks over the horizon at 6:25 AM, Sayulita awakens to a day of clear skies and gentle breezes. This is the perfect time to embark on a horseback riding adventure that takes you through the lush tropical rainforest and down to a serene, unpopulated beach. The Horseback Ride is available in the morning from 9:00 AM to 11:05 AM, offering a two-hour escape into nature’s embrace.

Imagine the rhythmic clop of hooves as you traverse jungle trails, guided by local cowboys who share their knowledge of the land and its vibrant flora and fauna. The journey is punctuated by stops at a beautiful river and the secluded Playa Escondida, where the ocean’s whispers invite you to pause and reflect. As one recent review noted on March 4, 2025:

A dream come true - It could not have been any better…such a wonderful experience. It has been a dream of mine to ride a horse on the beach … it was everything and more!!!! Staff was amazing 👏👏. Guzman was a joy to chat with and his love for what he does shows. I highly recommend this activity, sunset jungle/beach horseback riding.

With the sun warming your back and the promise of a tequila tasting at the end, this ride is a gentle introduction to Sayulita’s natural beauty.
