Fantastic guide ATVs & Horses ?

Karen_O, Feb 2026

ATVs are all over the property which can be kind of dicey if you have a horse that's spooky saw whales as soon as we got there our guide was great

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed seeing the whales and that your guide took great care of you. Your comment about the horse and the ATVs around the property is really valuable to us, we’re always looking for ways to make the experience even better. We’d love to welcome you back to Cactus Tours soon.

Horeseback riding

The horseback riding was great. We really enjoyed it. And the lunch was good too. Be prepared, you only ride the horses for an hour but there is another hour with check in and getting ready. It is very well organized. When you factor in travel there and back, it is a 4 hour excursion for one hour on the horse.

Horseback riding tour Cabo

Terra_R, Sep 2024

During our stay at Grand Solmar, we decided to take a horseback riding tour. The ride to the location was about 30 minutes long in a van full of other tourists, mostly through desert landscapes. When we arrived, we were offered an upgrade to a private tour, as they mentioned there could be around 100 people on our tour. We declined to pay the extra $75 per person for the upgrade, and to our surprise, we ended up being the only ones on the tour anyway—a private ride at no extra cost! Our tour guide, Tony, was fabulous. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience enjoyable. My horse, Don Julio, was very slow, and all the horses seemed quite overweight. Unfortunately, my husband’s horse decided to lay down on the beach, which led to a bit of a scare as he had to roll off quickly. We then had to chase down the horse to continue the ride. As for the photos, we were extremely disappointed. The photographer rarely captured our faces or managed to get us together in a shot. Given the poor quality, we decided not to purchase the photos, especially at the steep price of $120 for all digital prints. While the tour itself was put on well, it became clear that the horses are not cared for to the standards of what one might consider happy and healthy animals. The experience left me feeling uneasy about the treatment and care of the horses, and because of that, I wouldn’t choose to do the ride again. It’s a shame because all the workers, including Tony, were incredibly friendly and helpful. Lastly, they offered food at the end of the tour, but I opted to pass. The food was sitting in chafing dishes, and I could see bees and flies all over it, even though it was covered. I just couldn’t muster the faith to eat it. Overall, while the scenery and the guide were great, the experience was marred by concerns over the welfare of the horses and the disappointing photography. I’d advise others to think carefully before booking this tour if animal welfare is a priority for you.

Great adventure

Jim_C, Jan 2024

Great adventure. I had not ridden a horse in 60 + years. But the horses were gentle and the beach and trails easy to maneuver. Our guide got my stirrups set just right so I am not sore the day after. We rode for a bit over an hour which was plenty. Our guide gave us a complimentary ATVvride on the beach on the way back to the hacienda. Horses are way better tha ATVs in my world

I loved the horseback...

Lifelong dream realized

Catherine_B, May 2023

I could not have asked for a better experience! As an experience rider, aged 66, I own a horse and enjoy trail riding in the foothills of Colorado. I had to search a bit to find a riding excursion withOut time spent on an ATV. I was excited but keeping my expectations low, given the usual dull, over-worked trail horse. For good luck, I wore my dusty Ariat boots & jeans on the plane, hoping for a great ride. Much to my delight, I was the Only rider with Henry, aka Cowboy. Since I was riding solo, Henry intuited that I was an experienced rider & would enjoy a "spirited" horse, so he chose Cappuccino. for me. Our 2 horses were tacked and waiting in the shade of an abandoned adobe house in the middle of the desert when we arrived by ATV. Not surprisingly, I was not offered a riding helmet, which I faithfully wear when riding at home. So, I decided to stay at a walk on Cappuccino, to reduce risk of a fall from a horse I didn't know .... and truly enjoy the beautiful scenery. Henry & I walked side by side through the desert trail to the beach, then Cappuccino and I took the lead. Cappuccino was surprised that I didn't want a good gallop on the beach, but relaxed and maintained my preferred pace. He was responsive to my gentle hands, deep seat, and leg cues. The long drive from Cabos to the private beach is well worth it. The beach was wide, uninhabited and flat - perfect! The waves were strong, but there was plenty of room to pick our path. lifelong dream of riding on the beach was beautifully realized and I am grateful to Henry for taking me to Margarita Beach.
