Wonderful Horse Riding Experience We had an absolutely fantastic time on this horse riding tour! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the horses are incredibly well cared for – they were clean, healthy, and genuinely seemed happy. The route itself was beautiful, taking us through scenic mangroves and along the beach, which made for a memorable ride with varied landscapes. Our guide's love for the horses really shone through, and it added so much to the experience knowing they were in caring hands. A special mention to the tour company for being so accommodating when we needed to change our schedule. They went above and beyond to help us, even though they didn't have to. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and made us feel welcome throughout. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a genuine, well-run horse riding experience!

Came in a bit early...

Came in a bit early before our scheduled time and saw Victor tending to the horses, he was great with them and definitely cares for the animals which is important. As we started , we traveled a bit through the town and into the jungle to get to the beach. It was breathtaking ! We saw some animals along the way and walked through the beach which was calm and clear. Victor was a great tour guide , and very personable, definitely prioritized the guest experience as well as the care of the horses.

Fun ride

The ride was just the right amount of time. Wish there had been a little bit more time on the beach, but it is a small island. Horses clearly knew the route, so novice riders felt safe. My horse kept stopping to eat and I let her bc after she grabbed a mouthful, she would trot to catch up, so it was a fun ride.

A must do

Brilliant experience, the guide was very knowledgeable and made the trip great. Took lots of brilliant photos. The horses were well kept and well behaved. Would recommend to anyone whilst on Holbox.

Nice ride

Very friendly guide. Took our photos. Good horses. Great experience. Walking mostly, sometimes the horses go trotting but not cantering.

Experiencia Super

Primero que todo , nos fueron a recoger al hotel en un carro de golf y nos llevaron donde estaban los caballos que se llaman los potrillos, los caballos mansos y fasiles de andar y ademas vas con el guia y de grupos pequeos de 4 personas, y el guia te ensena a manejar el caballo y si es la primera ves k montas a callo como yo no tienes ningun problema, el tour es de una hora y media y te llevan a conocer los manglares y andar sobre el agua 100% recomendado este tour no se van a repentir, recomiendo que lleven repelente de mosquitos.

Nie wieder

Ich habe ein "Reiten am Strand" Erlebnis für 8am gebucht. Am späten Abend vorher erhielt ich eine WhatsApp, dass ich bereits um 7:15 abgeholt würde. Soweit so gut, die Abholung durch ein Taxi hat gut geklappt. Ich wurde am Hof abgesetzt, wo ein Mann genervt fragte was ich dort mache. Nach längerem hin und her rief er jemanden an der bestätigte, dass ich eine Tour gebucht hätte und dann auch einige Zeit später eintraf. Kein Hallo, keine Vorstellung, kein Nichts. Dem Pferd wurde schnell Sattel und Zaum aufgeschnallt und ich durfte Vamos Vamos aufspringen. Während des Ausrittes gab es keinerlei Unterhaltung, keine Erklärungen, einfach nichts. Am Strand ritten wir für ca 10 Minuten entlang durch tiefes Wasser, was mein wasserscheues Pferd nicht unbedingt gefeiert hat. Ich würde diese Tour nie wieder buchen und keinem empfehlen :( sehr schade, da ich den Preis wirklich nicht gering finde...
