Tacos y Cabalgatas en Playa Migriño

DON'T FALL FOR IT. Especially if you are a horse person. "3 hrs" "giant burrito" on the beach" ... NOT HARDLY. we were on horseback for barely an hour. there is the place you check in, then a short shuttle to the experience start point (they have multiple options there). After the ride they walk you back through the gift shop/food area, to go BACK to the check in point. without feeding us. I asked about it and was told "oh you have to fill out the survey first". Then you have to get shuttled back to the food area? And, not much food at all. Definitely not a giant burrito. I had to ask about it again and they kind of point over to a hot bar, at which all stations were covered. You have to get an employee to open it. One rice, 1 bean, 1 chicken, 2 veg options, and corn. Didn't even take the cover off the salad mix. No drink (no WATER, soda, or anything). Had to buy a bottle of water (another 10 dollars) Neither of the horses were competent and a steady walk. They both fought us (myself and my son) Within 5 minutes the guide had us switch horses, as I was the better rider than my son. Still didn't work. The guide then got down and cut us both switches from a bush to goad the horses. When used properly a crop is effective, but this is NOT the answer! It turns out, if you don't pay extra, the horses are tied together and pulled along by the guide!!!! They are NOT suited for this! Also, they don't tell you ahead of time... NO PHOTOS ALLOWED. And here lies the EXTRA. Friends of hours had been there the day before and told us this. THEY take the photos--and packages start at $100. When you check in you get an upgrade option--more than the price of an individual ticket--to "ride at your own pace, and be allowed to have your phone out". I wanted to get some good video for my instructor back home, but my son is not as experienced. SO I talked to the guide ahead of time and THOUGHT he understood me. When we came to a straight stretch my son was prepared to video for me and the guide was SUPPOSED to watch him so his horse didn't bolt. Well apparently that was impossible for him to handle because, my son's horse took off and the guide didn't seem to care. I asked him 3 times and eventually he just took my son's horse and started trotting him back to the start point. ?!?! also, the paid photographer kept circling us on an ATV taking photo and video and made the horses nervous. I asked him to stop repeatedly but he ignored me. At times the "guide" was more interested in his phone than his guests. I paid $150 EXTRA and my son did not have fun. At one point he was scared. This is not in their best interests!! Also, these horses are treated horribly. NO fodder while standing, no water visibly available. It is unhealthy for horses to work without food in their stomachs. And it was 90 in full sun while we were out. They also use harsh bits that would be unnecessary if they just conditioned the horse better. I was really looking forward to this event with my son, but really it was a very sad and sobering time. This was not a happy event overall. I was upset we paid extra for a very inattentive guide, he did not care about the people, or the horses. Also, it's not really "on the beach" much at all. Mostly it is through hard sand dunes. And there are ATVs and dune buggies that also use the trails. Then you can see the beach.... but not like in the video you see of people cantering along the beach are also false. DON"T BE SUCKERED!!!

This trip is misleading in its advertised description. Much more of a tourist trap than anything. The ride was 90 minutes not 3 hours and tacos/food is not included. The guide, Aaron, was absolutely awesome and is what saved the excursion rating. At the end of the ride there was a small free tequila tasting. However, pictures are an additional $20 per photo or $100 for all photos electronically.

Riding along the ocean and the beautiful day we experienced. We had Fernando as our guide and he was so nice

Wonderful experience very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Beautiful ranch cool trail through the desert and on the beach. Great tacos.
