Very fun!

Horses are very well trained and know the route very well. The tour guide was very professional and stopped for many photos opportunities. We had a great time!

Perfect Beach Walk

Pablo and Angel were great guides that lead us on this beautiful beach walk! Everything went smoothly and the beach was secluded, one of the most gorgeous i’ve ever seen!

Great once they decided to respond and come get us!

Horse back riding was fun, but they were not very organized. We waited at the hotel lobby for pickup at 8:30 like we were instructed and no one showed up and took an hour to get a response. When they finally called, they offered an afternoon booking even though we paid for the morning. They agreed to take us finally and then later messaged my friend saying she didn’t pay for enough people when we all had properly paid. The horses and the guide were great….and my legs and butt weren’t even sore.

Unique activity in Ixtapa

This was a great activity to do in Ixtapa. An English-speaking driver picked us up at our hotel and took us to the stable. The horses were very tame and sweet. The ride on the beach was beautiful and the staff on the trail ride were very nice. There could have been slightly more communication from the tour company to confirm our tour/pickup time. Otherwise, it was a great activity.

Incredible experience
