I surprised my wife with a 2hr horseback tour. We were greeted by Nelson who was very kind and knowledgeable about the horses and the area. The views and the experience were stunning to say the least. Couldn’t be happier with how this turned out. Thank you Nelson and Sacred Monument Tours! We will be back!

Wonderful tour and even better on horseback! The views of the monuments from up close were amazing! Highly recommend this tour!
Beautiful scenery on great horses in Monument Valley, DaShawn was a great guide, took care of clients needs and gave us history of area.
A great experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and the horses were gentle. Awesome views from a different perspective
We went on a 2 hour horseback ride out to the West Mitten. Our guide , Tashawn , was pleasant and gave us some information at several points. He offered to take photos of us too which we appreciated. Ride is very beautiful - be sure and wear sunscreen & bring water. Stable has spare cowboy hats or helmets if you care to use.
We had Marco, Dylan and Dwayne bring us on our tour. We had a small group it was just us and one other couple. I got Navy and my partner got Tonto. We had the best time ever! My partner still cannot stop talking about it. If you’re going to monument valley and staying in the view this is the place to go! Btw you can park at the stables we weren’t sure so we walked. Honestly could bot recommend enough. The lads were so good! They always made sure we were doing good and comfortable on our horses. They took as many pictures as we wanted. Best tour we’ve ever been on.
Marco was amazing and it was a magical experience! We walked right through Monument valley and got great photos. He was very helpful.
Our horseback tour through Monument Valley was the highlight of our trip. There’s something so surreal about being right up against the red rocks instead of just looking at them from a car window. Our guide was also fantastic. He didn't just give us facts; he shared personal stories about Navajo culture and what this land means to them. The horses were incredibly sweet, the pace was nice and relaxed, and the views were just unbeatable. Five stars doesn't even do it justice!

Serene, surreal and blissful. We had an out of the world experience, what a great way to experience monumental valley. Highly recommend.
P.S - it was not first time on a horse and yet it was an easy and fun experience.
I recommend this to everyone. My husband and I had an amazing adventure. The guide was fantastic and everything was exactly as it should be. I warmly recommend it — don’t hesitate.
Whilst we enjoyed our ride - we didn’t learn anything about the history of the land or Navajo people.
There needs to be time planned between groups - so individuals riders / bookings get value for their booking ie full 2-hour ride.
I booked the tour for my myself, my dad, and my sister for my dad’s bucket list trip and it was flat-out amazing. What a wonderful experience! The tour guide was nice and knowledgeable and took our pictures for us. It was great!
This was a wonderful ride led, for us, by Ezekiel. The ride got close by the west mitten and along sentinel mesa, down in the wash and back up on sure footed horses (Mack and Kansas). You won’t regret this ride.
Nice views of the Valley. Nice time. The tour guides were a bit quiet but helpful. The guides allowed for plenty of photo ops.
It was amazing! Highly recommended to anyone who loves horse riding in the nature and wants to see unacessible areas of the monument valley😍
Excellent opportunity to ride right into Monument Valley, hear some history and hear some great singing Marco was a great young guide with a lot of knowledge.
Marco was a great guide and explained everything we requested. Dont expect trotting nor running, is just a very chill/slow pace but still it was good!
fantastic horseback riding trip through monument valley with experienced guide who is also navajo. Very comfortable experience also.
Great experience. Our tourguid Ranger (nickname) was awesome. Had a lot of knowledge about the valley. The horses were great. You feel absolutely free over there. 5 stars by far.
Safety is not a priority. They are only interested in getting you to sign the waiver No practice before beginning the tour. Our guide was young and a bit of a show off. He fell from his horse a number of times during the tour. About three quarters of the way through, the horse I was on reared up & threw me off causing injury to my lower back.
Ranger and Logan were great guides. They shared stories about their heritage and their desire to teach others about it. They were both great guides and very patient with us novice cowboys! The horses were gentle. We enjoyed seeing some of the monuments very close. Would recommend to all!
It was absolutely magical. It was my first time horse back riding and the guide was great. My horse was amazing. She was gentle and lead very well. The views are magical. Highly recommend it.
Well organised, guide very good. Fantastic experience. Very calm horses didnt feel unsafe although hadn't much experience
We had a very windy day , I asked if they were still going out & he said if I still wanted to. I said if he was willing I was too. They had good horses, clean equipment & the place & the horses were well taken of. I go with them again!!!
Amazing experience. The guides explained everything well. Overall we will never forget this sacred place
Our group loved this tour! There were 6 of us, and our guide was Adam. We arrived at 1:30, but we didn’t actually start riding until 2:30 by the time the horses were saddled up. So the actual tour was about an hour and 30 minutes which was perfect. We all felt like that was an enough time so if you’re doing this for the first time and you’re unsure whether to book one hour or two, go ahead and do the 2 hour. You won’t be disappointed! Got to see several monuments up close, learned about some movie scenes shot there and also some of the local plants. Awesome experience and the best way to see the monuments in places you cannot reach with a car. The horses were tame and well behaved except one of the babies which was so cute. He was frisky but a good listener and just needed a little pat here and there. I’d take my family back another time, it was great! Thanks!!
This was our favorite tour! A perfect way to explore the Valley and really feel like a part of it. The horses were wonderful and the guide also great. He also took pictures for us which was nice!
It’s a 45 minute tour not a 2 hours. Better to know before booking. It’s a good tour but very expensive for 45min
The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Horses were gentle and sturdy. Such a beautiful time to do the ride is in the evening.
One major problem was that we booked the 2 hour ride but we came back 1 hour early. Very frustrating. I would advise others to confirm with your guide before you leave that he is aware of the length the ride is supposed to be. Major bummer for our trip because we paid for 2 hours but only got one.
The overall riding experience was fantastic! The horses were gentle and easy to handle, and the guide was very professional and friendly. The views along the way were beautiful and made the ride truly enjoyable. However, although we booked a 2-hour ride, the actual riding time was only about 1 hour. It would have been even better if the full time was provided. Still, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend it to others who love horseback riding
