Absolutely amazing!!!! Well trained horses and we gallopped through the lava beds and coffee plantations, Totally private tour with amazing pizza and staff- all profits go back to the 100 horses and the community. Best ride I have ever had in my life!!!!
Thank you so much for your great review and supporting us!!! From all the horses and cowboys! We are grateful!!!
Niki and our team of cowboys were incredibly kind and informative. Our group had an amazing time on our horses and the pizza at the top was delicious. It is a memory I will cherish forever! Thank you Niki!!
Thank you so much for your great review and supporting us!!! From all the horses and cowboys! We are grateful!!!
This is a once in a lifetime experience and Nikki and her cowboys and horses were so wonderful! We did the “fast ride” up the volcano and had an incredible time galloping up and back. I do recommend having some riding experience for the fast ride, but Nikki will go at whatever pace you like. The horses are very well trained, well broken, and clearly well cared for. We passed barking dogs, ATVs, motorbikes and all our horses were calm and cool. Nikki checked in with us often during the ride for speed and comfort. The views of the volcanos and the trail through the coffee plantations were beautiful. The meal at the top was delicious and I really enjoyed the s’mores! I didn’t have a secure pocket for my phone so Nikki took some photos and videos of us riding that I’ll treasure forever. 10/10 recommend for your inner horse girl
Thank you Hilary for the faboulus review!! It was our honor to have you!
Soulshine Guatemala delivered an absolutely unforgettable experience that blended world-class luxury with profound cultural immersion and community impact. From the moment our private transfer arrived until our heartfelt farewell from Mayan hosts, every detail was flawlessly executed. The team customized every element perfectly for our group's needs, handling logistics seamlessly. This wasn't just a vacation—it was a life-changing journey. Highly recommend for discerning travelers seeking purpose-driven luxury.

Our experience on the Pacaya Volcano horse tour withe Alaska Dave and Niki was absolutely unforgettable! First of all, my friend and I didn’t realize we had booked a hotel in a red zone, but Niki went above and beyond to take care of us. She personally called us, helped us relocate, and even arranged for Alaska Dave - the most incredible tour guide - to pick us up, take our luggage, and make sure we arrived safely at our new hotel in a much safer area. Niki is such a loving, kind, and thoughtful person. She made us feel completely supported during what could have been a stressful situation. She also sent a list of recs in Antigua for us to check out. And Alaska Dave, what a ray of light! He’s not only an amazing guide but also someone who made us feel so safe, comfortable, and at ease throughout the whole experience. The tour itself is breathtaking. The horses are so well-behaved and gentle, making the ride up the volcano enjoyable for all levels. And the pizza baked right on the volcano is absolutely delicious, a true highlight you can’t miss! We are so grateful to Niki and Alaska Dave for turning our trip into such a safe, joyful, and memorable adventure. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Guatemala! I will definitely do this again when I am back.
hank you for the review beautiful lady, We welcome you back with open arms-such a joy to have.
The horse riding to the volcano was a one in a life time experience!!! I had the luck to ride with Niki and it was the most perfect day. I loved hearing about the work she does with the animals and I could see how impactful the tour is to the community! They were very accommodating and trust worthy! I would definitely recommend and hopefully will be back!
What a beautiful lady and a pleasure to ride with! Thank you for the fabulous review and most of all recognizing the cause to help the horses. We wait for your return Natasha!
I had the most incredible experience horseback riding up Pacaya Volcano in Guatemala! From start to finish, everything was beyond expectations. We rode through stunning mountain scenery, across volcanic lava beds, and even stopped to enjoy salsa and chips on the volcano! One of the highlights was roasting marshmallows on the lava beds! The horses were absolutely amazing, well-trained, calm, and perfectly suited to both experienced and beginner riders. My friend, who’s fairly new to riding, had the best time cantering and even galloping for the first time with total confidence, thanks to the incredible temperament of the horses and the care of our guides. They went above and beyond by inviting us to visit their barn afterward for an extra ride, which made the day feel even more special. Their hospitality truly stood out. What made the experience even more meaningful was learning about the work they do in the local community. Their commitment to giving back is inspiring and added so much heart to the experience. I can’t recommend this enough.
Thank you so much for the fabulous review! From the horses and all the cowboys!
This adventure was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, it’s clear that Nikki and her staff deeply care about the people, animals, and culture of Guatemala. The horses were so well cared for — healthy, happy, and clearly loved — which made the experience even more special. They were also very well trained, making the ride enjoyable and comfortable even for those who aren’t expert riders. The scenery was breathtaking, from riding through lush coffee plantations and local villages to reaching the otherworldly lava beds. One of the highlights was roasting s’mores right on an active volcano — something I’ll never forget! Every part of this trip was thoughtfully planned and felt incredibly authentic. It’s absolutely worth the money for the memories and connection to the beautiful land and people of Guatemala. Highly recommend!!
