There are some steep roads to go down on horse back before you get to the trail.it was an enjoyable ride .You are on the actual horse for about 2hours .

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! You’re absolutely right — there are a few steep sections at the beginning of the route as we make our way down toward the main trail. We always provide guidance to ensure our guests feel comfortable and safe during those parts of the ride. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience and your time on horseback. Spending approximately two hours riding through the beautiful scenery is truly a special way to connect with nature. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back soon for another adventure in Puerto Vallarta! Warm regards, Puerto Vallarta Tours Team

Adventurous and enjoyable ride through rivers, mountains and forests

A lovely ride through the beautiful terrain. He horses are very well trained and the guides looked after us very well. One at the front, one in the middle and one of the back. They are good horsemen and clearly look after the horses. If you want to go faster and canter you’re better off booking a private tour and request going through less rough terrain, as this tour is restricted by the route and the abilities of the various people in the group. I highly recommend it even as an experienced rider. The bridge crossing and the optional swim are also great features

Somewhat underwhelming

The tour guide himself did not make the experience very enjoyable, it’s possible he wasn’t having a very good day, but we tried to make light of it regardless. The horses were in good condition, which was nice to see, but the bits used seemed very harsh for those used by tourists, and people who are not skilled horsemen. There was no explanation of how the tour would go, so it seemed to end very abruptly. The tequila tasting was probably the best part due to the worker Kevin, he was very friendly, upbeat, and shared a lot of information about the tequila without being pushy. I genuinely enjoyed his attitude as did others that joined into the tasting.

Thanks, Serena for your review, we appreciate the time and effort and of course for choosing us. We would look into it to see what happened and improve. Hopefully, you will give us a second chance to make your experience much better next time you visit Vallarta.

Great outdoor experience, great horses

This was a beautiful morning horseback ride through the mountain side, woods and river. Our guide was a very nice young man & very interesting. The horses were exceptional for trail ride horses. As an experienced horsewoman, I don’t say much about my experience on a ride like this & my husband is only an occasional rider so we find something to match his riding experience. It was an absolute delight to be on a horse who could take me for a ride, if that’s what I needed, but was responsive as soon as it realized we could communicate with each other. Wonderful local family run business, delightful outdoor experience and fantastic horses that a rider of any level will enjoy.
