Horseback riding - I recommend this excursion. It was so beautiful and so much fun. The people are so friendly. We had a great time. Definitely book this when you are here!

Really fun - Well trained horses, great fun guide, knowledgeable about local flora and fauna, good bilingual Spanish/English. Soon good

Soothing and scenic - We had a wonderful time. Very relaxing and beautiful sights. The horses are well trained and cared for, and our guide, Ramon, helped us all feel safe and comfortable. Ulises was helpful and flexible with arranging the tour and was a good driver as well.

Great Guide - safe and fun and helped us practice our Spanish! his van had good a/c and he provided beers and water bottle which was a refreshing and thoughtful touch

Lifetime memory and friend - Ulises is hands down my favorite person and guide in Zihuatanejo. We had several tours booked with his business and none have disappointed. My husband has not ridden a horse in many years and even he had to admit it was a great day. Playa Larga is an impressive (and awe inspiring) place. We enjoyed the ride, however it was hanging out with Ulises that made the experience, such warmth and genuine spirit, we met his beautiful wife and children and gained so much respect for his work ethic. He is a true ambassador for his beautiful country and I cannot recommend his business more.

Amazing experience - 10 out of 10! - We went my daughter and I on one of the longest routes that offer 3 hours - amazing scenery, surrounded by nature... And with the final surprise of herding horses along the beach! Unforgettable experience, thank you very much to Ramon for being a great guide (fluent in English for those coming from outside)

Ride a horse in the beach - We were picked up at our hotel by Fabian, and he was an excellent guide for the trip to Playa Larga. We took a private horse ride for two people through town, in the beach, through the coconut plantation and forest. Our guide, Raymond, was full of interesting information. It was a very peaceful and relaxing few hours.

Great experience! - Amazing time. Guide was friendly, shared local information, and prompt. Horses were perfect for many of our inexperienced riders. Definitely the way to go”walk” on the beach.

Decent horseback riding experience - The guy that picked us up was very nice and the car was good for our family. The horseback ride was just average. It was listed at 2hrs and last maybe 1:15, we never went through a coconut grove, just down the road and then along the beach. The beach was beautiful with huge crashing waves which was very nice. The horses were quite dirty but plodded along safely. Out of all of our excursions this one was our least favorite. The horse guide did not speak any English which is fine but didn't allow us to ask any questions about the horses which my kids would have liked.

Fun Ride & good tour company with transportation, horses are malnourished - I will start by saying I had a great time. The trail ride was beautiful and they catered to all experience levels. I am an experienced rider and horse owner, and they let me canter on the beach. They also catered to another family with all beginners. The ranch’s tour guide Ramon was also very friendly and informative. When picking a horseback tour in Zihua, my group and I compared what appeared to be multiple different horse riding tours online, wanting to pick a business that looked like they treated their horses well (well fed, not too skinny or malnourished in the pictures). However when we arrived, we realized all these rides use the same ranch, just different tour companies. So while transportation is arranged by a separate tour group (which by the way was a nice experience by Ketavi, which I am posting this review for), the horse ride itself is put on by just Rancho El Riscal. Once you get there, you’ll likely be joining a group(s) from another tour group or resort. The horses at this ranch were too skinny. They are taken on multiple tour rides per day, which makes sense as it’s a business, but they burn a lot of energy doing so. They also didn’t offer any water to the horses after the ride. When we brought up our concerns during and at the end of the ride, the tour guide from the ranch explained it’s just seasonal (dry season = less foliage for them to eat). And that we should try to promote their business to other tourists so they can get more $ to take care of the horses, since they have so many. This didn’t sit well with us. In addition, during our horse ride, we passed another private ranch (not used for tours) and we noticed their horses looked  healthy and well fed), so it’s certainly possible to keep horses well fed during this season. While we had fun, I’m embarrassed to post pictures online because our horses were too skinny. I felt bad riding them. If the ranch just took better care of their horses, this would be a 5 out of 5 experience. Direct feedback for Rancho El Riscal: Tourists want to ride healthy horses. Treat your horses better, and more tourists will come! You might not think this is important or noticed by tourists, but it is. Thank you.
