Horse Riding in Cartagena

Riding Berlin the Horse by the Beach

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had riding a horse on the beach. Our host, José, was absolutely incredible. He shared so much insight about Colombian culture and made us feel truly welcomed. He even went out of his way to drive my group into the city for lunch and joined us despite having other commitments. Afterward, he drove us all the way to our hotel, which was nowhere near where we started. He patiently let us take photos and made the whole experience feel like we were spending the day with family. Highly recommend.

A wonderful day riding on a beach on great horses

A great day riding wonderful horses. We are riders with many years of experience on horseback. The horses were very well trained, smooth gaited, easy to control, criollo's with paso gaits. When the owner saw that we were experienced riders, he let us control the ride and he went along with us. It was truly a wonderful ride along a beautiful almost empty beach. Although there were many good reviews from beginner riders, our review is from the perspective of long time “horse people”. A wonderful ride on great horses, with the ride well suited for beginners through highly experienced riders. The owner was a pleasure to deal with. Pickup up and drop off were at the “old” cruise pier

One-of-a-kind, amazing Colombian experience

BEST experience I've had in Colombia. When else do you get to feed macaws and parrots, visit aviaries, ride horses, eat home-cooked foods, pick and eat your own Colombian fruits (cashew fruit was a personal fav), and ride in a UTV to explore a 1200+acre property. I really appreciated them picking me up and dropping me off at my downtown hotel too.

Best experience of our entire trip

Luis and his daughter Maria picked us up from our hotel in Centro Cartagena and took us to their ranch, along the way they gave us some insights into the local area and its wildlife. At the ranch we were introduced to the Paso Fino horses and given a demonstration of their unusual gait and learnt about the history of these magnificent animals. We then drove to the local beach and, after a very short wait, the horses arrived (Gaviota and Muneca), we mounted up and set off along the coast. Once we were comfortable on the horses, Luis and his daughter took some wonderful video and photos of us riding through the water. We then went for a long ride down the beach and back and were able to ride the horse out in the waves before going back to the hotel for a drink and cerviche before our trip back to the hotel. A wonderful experience from people who are clearly passionate about their animals. Wish we had done it earlier in our holiday as we would have booked additional experiences with Cartagena Horse Tours.
