Description

You will ride along a gravel path through the jungle to the beach and then along the beach with the waves touching the horses’ feet. After a photo session stop with the turquoise ocean in the back ground the ride goes on to a bar in Bergantin beach for a break and possibility to buy souvenirs (or other drinks than included in the tour). If the ocean and streams are applicable you will be offered to swim with a horse which is a great experience. Keep in mind, although, that sometimes this is not possible due to strong waves and streams. We always keep Safety First!

horse trip

The guide was wonderful, but it cost 50 dollars to find someone who could help us find where to go when we got off the ship. We road on the beach to beach bar. The description of ride was insufficient.

Awesome horseback riding!

We only had two and a guide on the ride. We met Alex at the drop off spot. He guided us thru the backcountry to the beach. We rode a good way on an isolated beach. After a short break, Alex led us into the ocean. Our horses were great. Sylvia of Rancho Lollar was wonderful to work with.

Nice experience to try at least once.

The horse back riding was really neat. We were a family of 4, but the total group was around 20. There were several guides and the camera guy. I messed up the port and ended up having to take a taxi to meet us at the ranch; but that was on me. Word to the wise - the pictures they take are not worth the money. They email you the pictures but they are ok. With phones nowadays you can take just as good or better pictures. The part that made us sad is how dirty and covered in trash everything was. We are not riding horses on a main road. This is all back road and then the beach. There was trash everywhere. It really was sad to see.

Amazing ride and experience

We booked this adventure, initially planning to do a beach ride. However, we were contacted and offered a choice of mountain or beach ride. We chose to do the mountain ride. To be clear, we did not actually go up the mountain but took a path towards the mountain offering beautiful countryside views and picturesque settings for family photos. The horses were excellent. Well-mannered, ready to run if you wanted or simply walk at a leisurely pace, all dependent on the rider's choice. The guides were courteous, respectful, and very accommodating of our family's requests for pictures, videos, picking up the pace or slowing down, etc. During our trip, we encountered several other horses, dogs, cows, go-karts, motorcycles, and cars. The horses never spooked or appeared jittery. They remained calm throughout and were a joy to ride. I would highly recommend this adventure for all families, regardless of previous horsemanship abilities. It is great for both the beginner and the experienced rider.

Beach ride

Great ride on well-trained horses, Ramon is the best guide, very nice beach and good stopover, unfortunately the way to the beach is full of mosquitoes, so wear long trousers or endure the bites
