What To Expect
Start your Wild West horseback riding tour with morning pickup from select Las Vegas Strip hotels. Relax during the drive to the horse ranch in Moapa.
While professional wranglers prepare the horses for the trail ride, take in the serenity of the majestic surroundings, where red rock mountains and desert meet. You are paired with a tame horse that is well-suited to your skill level.
With just a small group for company, set off and follow the same horse trails once used by some of the most infamous outlaws of the American West. (Note that this is a single-file trail ride; due to safety regulations, galloping the horses is not permitted.)
Keep your camera on hand to capture photos of grazing cattle and, if you have a keen eye, spot bighorn sheep, roadrunners, and jackrabbits scuttling through the brush.
After your horseback ride, dine on an authentic Western-style breakfast, with vegetarian options available. Return to your hotel on the Strip with plenty of time left in the day to experience more of Vegas.

This was an incredible experience, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The horses were beautiful and the route was so peaceful and surreal. I would highly recommend especially if it’s your first time horse riding. We also got to meet and hold the other animals on the ranch and the food and refreshments were lovely.

Wow what a special day. From getting picked up from our hotel, the driver Denny was so friendly and very informative. All the staff at the ranch were so lovely, constantly checking up on you out on the ride and taking lots of photos on your own phones for you. You’re out on the horses about an hour and half, which we found the first morning ride was just the right temperature weather wise. The breakfast was lovely, my picky partner even cleaned the plate! We held baby goats and were shown how to lasso before having some group photos, would highly recommend was a highlight of our holiday.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear your special day started off great with Denny and that our ranch team helped make the experience so memorable. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the morning ride, the breakfast, and all the little extras like meeting the baby goats and learning to lasso! We love creating fun memories for our guests, and we’re so happy to hear this was a highlight of your holiday. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you both back again soon! 🤠🐴💕

Jessica_S, Apr 2026
It was enjoyable, but felt a bit disappointing. The ride is not very long, and the trail guide doesn't really add any info about the geography or landscape or plants, etc. The breakfast was fine.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks for your honest feedback—we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
We’re glad to hear you found the ride enjoyable overall, but we’re sorry it didn’t fully meet your expectations. Your comments about the ride length and the level of information provided by the guide are especially helpful. We aim to create a more engaging and informative experience, and we’ll definitely take this into account as we continue improving our tours and guide training.
We’re also glad the breakfast was satisfactory, though we understand it didn’t stand out—we’ll look at ways to elevate that part of the experience as well.
Thanks again for riding with us, and we hope to have the chance to provide you with a more memorable visit in the future.

A great way to spend five hours off the Vegas strip. A real friendly bunch at Desert Breeze ranch did everything they could to look after you and ensure you gained the most from the experience. Fantastic views, fun laughter and tasty food. Made to feel like a little family in your group of strangers. Suited horses to your ability and easy for non riders as well as experienced. What defo do again. Great job guys…
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for the kind words—we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
We’re glad you enjoyed your time away from the Strip and got to take in the views, food, and a few laughs along the way. Creating that “little family” feeling is exactly what we aim for, so it’s great to hear that came through.
Our team works hard to match each rider with the right horse, so it means a lot that you noticed. Whether it’s your first ride or your hundredth, we want everyone to feel comfortable and have a great time.
We’d love to have you back out with us anytime—thanks again for riding with us! 🤠

If you just wanna go riding pretty flat at slow pace this is the perfect ride for beginners and kids. They have some goats ,sheep, dogs and calves you can pet. Breakfast was good and filling when you got back my eggs were still warm. It’s not fancy but will fill the need if ya just want easy ride.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks so much for your kind words! We’re really glad you enjoyed the relaxed pace of the ride and got a chance to meet all the animals—they’re definitely part of the charm 😊 It’s great to hear breakfast hit the spot too. We appreciate you riding with us and hope to see you again for another easygoing adventure!

It was all good. However the cow’s eyes were seeping and it also had a couple sores on him which then attracted many flies. I hope they get him vet attention.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks for bringing this to our attention—we really appreciate you mentioning it. The health and well-being of our animals is very important to us, and we take concerns like this seriously. We’ll make sure to have our team check on him right away and provide any care he may need. Thanks again for letting us know, and we’re glad to hear the rest of your experience was a good one.

The morning in Red Rock Cannon was wonderful. Very nice and relaxing morning. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable.
Carly_M, Apr 2026
Excellent experience and genuinely the perfect way to start the day. It was such a peaceful ride. The horses were beautiful and the guides were helpful and kept us all in check and safe.
Our driver and cook, Danny, was fantastic. Full of little gems of knowledge on the drive to the ranch and makes an outstanding breakfast!

Vonda_K, Apr 2026
I truly enjoyed the morning horseback ride! The scenery was beautiful and never having been to or seen the desert it was truly amazing! The horses were well trained and the cowboys were very friendly and knowledgeable. After the ride we had breakfast, hugged baby goats and learned how to throw a lasso! There was even a rouge horse that joined us on his own and he fell right in line with the other horses, so it was most certainly an unforgettable experience 🩷
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the morning ride and got to experience the beauty of the desert—it really is something special, especially for a first visit.
It’s great to hear the horses and cowboys made such a positive impression, and we love that you got to enjoy all the extra touches like breakfast, the baby goats, and learning to throw a lasso. And that rogue horse definitely has a way of making himself part of the adventure—sounds like he picked the perfect day to join in!
We truly appreciate you sharing your experience and hope to welcome you back again for another unforgettable ride 🩷
Ash_M, Apr 2026
Overall, it was a good experience. Our driver was very friendly and cooked a great, authentic breakfast. I can’t fault him in any way. The animals on the ranch were well-cared for and the horses paired with riders were suitable. It is a slow, easy ride with no galloping or trotting so ideal for beginners. It’s not bad value for money given that you get pick up and drop off, the horse ride, breakfast and some time with the animals. I really enjoyed my ride and would recommend, with some minor points to make: 1) I felt the wrangler/guide on the ride was a little abrupt and rude at times to guests. There were several members of the group who had never ridden before and some of these were minors. The guide was quite abrupt when one of them struggled to get their horse to move in the correct direction and insinuated they were afraid of the horse. I don’t disagree that protocols and instructions need to be in place for safety but there is a way to say things that is much nicer and I felt the guide’s tone was quite rude at times and could be off-putting/upsetting for a new rider. 2) As a solo traveller I felt a little bit ignored. I understand that the focus is on groups/families however it was a bit awkward for me when the wrangler/guide only took photos of me in the middle of a random family group. It would have been nice to get a photo of me on my own with the horse rather than in the middle of strangers and I’m sure that family didn’t want me in their photo either!
Overall, however, it was a pleasant morning and I would recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review. We’re really glad to hear you had an overall good experience and enjoyed the ride, the breakfast, and your time at the ranch. It’s great to know the animals and horse pairings met your expectations, and that our driver helped make the morning enjoyable.
We truly appreciate you pointing out the areas where we can improve. Creating a welcoming and supportive environment—especially for first-time riders and younger guests—is very important to us, and your comments about the guide’s tone are taken seriously. We will be addressing this with our team to ensure communication is always patient, encouraging, and respectful.
We also appreciate your perspective as a solo traveler. That’s valuable feedback, and we agree—everyone should feel included and have the opportunity to capture personal memories from their experience. We’ll make sure our team is more mindful of this moving forward.
Thank you again for your recommendation and for helping us improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future!

An incredible experience and would highly recommend. A short drive from the strip and your transported to the most peaceful place and so well looked after. Think Yellowstone vibes! By far the best thing we did whilst staying in Vegas.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much for the amazing review!

Monique_E, Mar 2026
This was such a good day! It was a wonderful ride (we felt like we were in a western movie), we got to hold baby goats, the breakfast was yummy, and we practiced our lasso skills.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
So glad you had such a great time! 🤠 It really does feel like stepping into a western movie out there. We love that you enjoyed the ride, got some time with the baby goats, and even tried your hand at roping—sounds like you made the most of the whole experience! And we’re happy breakfast hit the spot too.
We’d love to have you back anytime for another adventure!

It’s a nice way to spend a morning away from the strip, you get to see some of the countryside and see things at a slower pace
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for the kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed getting away from the Strip for a while and taking in the slower pace and scenery. It’s always nice to spend a morning out in the countryside. We appreciate you riding with us and hope to see you again on a future ride! 🤠🐎

Nice and calm experience, suitable for beginners. Beautiful scenery on the ride. Not much explanation about the area or surroundings. Breakfast was ok
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the calm, beginner-friendly ride and the beautiful scenery along the way — that’s exactly the kind of relaxing experience we hope to provide.
We appreciate your feedback about wanting more explanation about the area and surroundings. That’s helpful to know, and we’ll certainly share it with our team so we can make the experience more informative in the future. We’re also glad you found breakfast enjoyable, even if just “ok” — we’re always looking for ways to improve there as well.
Thanks again for riding with us, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better experience next time. 🤠
Ruth_M, Feb 2026
Our experience was amazing! Hector and Gecko were super fun, friendly and enhanced our experience! I rode Sparkles and my daughter rode Kimble, great horses! After our ride (duration was about an hour and 15 minutes), we had an amazing breakfast and had the opportunity to hold baby goats/lambs and wrangle a fake buffalo. Overall, would definitely recommend this place!!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for the fantastic review!
We’re thrilled you and your daughter had such an amazing experience with us. Hector and Gecko truly love what they do, and I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to them. It sounds like Sparkles and Kimble took great care of you both out on the trail!
I’m glad you enjoyed the breakfast and got some time with the baby goats and lambs — and of course, the “wrangling” of our practice buffalo always brings out a few smiles. 🤠
We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you both back out on the trail again soon.
Happy Trails,

This was a nice relaxing ride. Everyone that helped us was so kind and made sure we were comfortable. Breakfast was good. I would recommend this trip for anyone tired of being on the strip.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
We are a great alternative to guests that want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Las Vegas Strip. In 45 minutes guests can be out in the rugged, raw, and beautiful southwest landscape. Even better they are exploring via horseback. Horseback riding in itself is a relaxing experience, no better way to travel, just need plenty of time. LOL
Happy Trails,

The experience has very few frills and is very much about the horseback experience. Breakfast and firepit is nice and the dog, hooligan, is wonderful. Also there are sheep.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Howdy,
We have limited frills. We are an authentic western trail ride, but that is what we love about it. We try to get people away from the glitz and glam of the strip. I am glad you had a good time riding with us. I will be sure to let Hooligan know what a great time you had. He is a fan favorite. Thank you for choosing Wild West Horseback Adventures.
Happy Trails,

Stephanie_F, Jan 2026
Denny was our driver/cook. He was excellent at both jobs! We are experienced riders, so our rides were fine, however others in our group were not and they were not given much guidance or assistance with their ride. In fact, i felt that the guides were reckless in their treatment of our fellow riders, and someone could have gotten hurt. Luckily, no one did. I would have given five stars for Denny and his part in the excursion, but took off one star for the guided horse experience. Would not recommend for inexperienced riders.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your review and for recognizing Denny—he truly does a great job, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. The lion’s share of our riders are first-time or novice guests, so our standard operating procedure is to ensure that everyone feels safe, comfortable, and secure both in the saddle and out on the trail.
I will speak with Denny and the wranglers to better understand what took place during your ride. We take all feedback very seriously and are always looking for ways to improve the guest experience.
Thanks again for your review and valuable input.
Happy Trails,
Jason

The Morning Horseback Ride with Breakfast was a fantastic experience. Our guide and driver were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The horses were beautiful, calm and easy to ride. The trail was immense and peaceful. We really enjoyed the views during the ride. After that, we had a nice breakfast which tasted incredible and was well organized. At the end we also got to feed baby goats. This activity is a great way to start the day and we will remember it for a long time. Thank you. We highly recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing adventure outside Las Vegas.
