Romantic horseback riding on the beach - The horse tour was the best part of our trip to Colombia. Since it is a private tour we received the undivided attention of our guide and learned about the history of Paso Fino horses in Colombia before going on a horseback adventure on the beautiful beaches of Colombia. Also included was a delicious lunch. This is the perfect romantic experience especially if your significant other loves horses. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this tour as well as the ecotour to the Rosario Islands by the same family owned and operated business.

Brilliant day! - How good!
This was a fantastic day. Luis and his team (mostly family) are so passionate you can’t help but smile. They’re extremely attentive and really do look after you for the day.
The show and pre riding explanation was good fun and even before arriving Luis was showing us local birds and wildlife.
Then there was the riding portion and you can really tell that Luis wants you to improve and gives you riding tips to keep your riding independent (which isn’t seen often on similar riding experiences)
Incredible day and massive thanks to Luis and his family for having us
Thoroughly recommend

Beautiful experience riding horses! - This was such a beautiful experience! Luis and Maria were excellent tour guides. From the moment they picked us up at the hotel, they made us feel welcome and excited. It is clear they take excellent care of their horses and are very passionate about their work. Although I was a bit nervous about getting on the horse, I quickly got over my fears. There is always someone there to help with the horses in case you need it. The ocean is beautiful and riding the horses in the water is extremely peaceful. They also took very beautiful photos of us and then we rode along the beach the rest of the time. We were then provided a delicious meal and drinks. The car ride home felt like riding with friends. Truly cannot recommend enough! Make sure you wear and reapply mosquito repellent!

Perfect, Unforgettable Experience… - This tour was absolutely amazing, one of the best experiences in Cartagena. The tour guides are patient, knowledgeable and spoke very good english. The horses are beautiful and well taken care of. We enjoyed learning about each horse, their training and history. The pictures and videos that they take during your ride are breathtaking. We also enjoyed dinner that was provided after, the food was well seasoned and cook to perfection.
Thanks again for making this an unforgettable experience.

Best Host for this Activity! - This is a must-do activity in Cartagena and Maria and her family’s paso fino horse farm made it unforgettable. They graciously opened the area for us to learn about the paso fino horse and their importance to Colombia while watching an exhibition of the horses. Then, they took us to a wonderful beach restaurant area where we were able to ride the horses for a considerable amount of time. The activity is completely doable even if you have no experience riding horses (like us). The horses appeared to be well cared for and healthy, and the ride was smooth. They also took amazing photos of us. Thank you Maria!!!

Personal, thoughtful experience - Luis and Maria were very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. At the ranch, they explained the importance of the difference between Spanish horses and horses that people are generally more familiar with. It was informative and helpful to understand (and not at all boring or longwinded), as it changes the way the horses are ridden (really important to know whether you're a beginner or a pro). It was also easy to focus on as well, since it was only my friend and I on the tour. We were transported to a beautiful resort while waiting for the horses to arrive to the beach. The amount of wait time and time spent riding was sufficient. We chose the 3pm time slot, which was great, as it was cooler and we were able to see the beginning of the sunset. I was actually pretty nervous having not ridden since childhood, but Emile stayed with me the entire time and coached me through the ride. My friend (who is a professional rider) was given a more experienced horse, and enjoyed the challenge of a change in riding style. Dinner at the resort was actually very good, which we were surprised about, seeing as food that's in included in excursions is usually mediocre. Overall, it was a really nice way to end our trip in Cartagena, which was heavily based on nightlife. It was a very personal experience that was tailored to us entirely. I would absolutely recommend it for all ages.

AMAZING!! - I travel a lot with and without my children. This is one of the best tours I ever taken. I booked it for my 11 yr old son and I. It was his first time on a horse. The communication prior to the tour was great, I believe ots the father you speak with via whatsapp. It's a family business, the daughter Maria (guide) picked us up with a driver. We arrived at the range where you will see all of the horses. They give you a 30 min history about the horses.
They then explain and show you how to handle the horses. You then drive 2mins to a nice beach restaurant where you get a drink so they can bring the horses to the beach.
We took amazing photos (trust me I'm picky about pics and I loved everyone of them)
and then we rode the horses down the entire beach. I think it was like an hour.
Maria guided us on her own horse and they had someone walking with is next to our horses. Ex one guy for my son and another one for me But we didn't need them that's how great the horses are that you don't need them.
Oh there's horse base on your comfort skills, beginner to advance.
You can even ride in the water if you like. The horses were very trained and great. Trust me this is important because when I did horses in el salvador and other caribbean island they were wild and I almost fell off before.
AMAZING TOUR !!!!!
Thank you horses cartegena tour

Amazing experience - This was such an amazing experience! It was only my boyfriend and I with Luis and his daughter Maria, they are so kind and personable. They really go above and beyond in every aspect, Luis asked us if we ate breakfast and when we said no he stopped and bought us a Colombian breakfast. The horses were beautiful and well cared for. Maria took amazing pictures of us with her camera as well. The whole experience was one that we will never forget all thanks to Luis and Maria, highly recommend this if you are looking for something more personal!
