Highlights

Choose a morning, midday, or afternoon departure from your Cabo San Lucas hotel for this 2-hour, small-group excursion. Climb into an air-conditioned minivan and set off to a genuine working ranch in Baja California. Meet the rancher and receive a briefing on the correct way to ride. You’ll be matched with a horse suited to your experience level.

Mount your horse and follow your guide through Baja’s diverse landscape. Traverse a semi-arid coastal desert where you’ll encounter cacti towering over 20 feet (6 meters) tall, along with unique desert plants and wildlife. Pause along the route to capture photos of the desert, the pristine white-sand beaches below, the towering cliffs, and the stunning Pacific Ocean.

Return to the ranch and reboard your air-conditioned minivan for the trip back to your hotel. Water, snacks, transportation, and your guide are all included.

Relaxing and fun - Our guide did a wonderful job of making sure we got to know the basics for horse riding, while keeping it short and sweet. Loved taking them out on to the beach!

Excellent horseback experience - The experience was really amazing and enjoyable. It’s a more laid back kind of activity in Cabo that you can go at your own pace. I really and thoroughly enjoyed it very well. Amazing staff at Carisuva.

Canter on the beach - At the end of ride, we got the opportunity to canter on the beach. We've gone on many horse trail rides in the US and never get to canter, let alone on the beach. Don't be afraid to speak up if you're not a good rider; they'll give you a better horse.

Gorgeous views and well-cared for animals - Gorgeous scenery! Well-cared for horses, mules and donkeys! Able to feed and pet the animals. Wonderful change from desert to beach! Worth the drive and the money. Fun had by all.

Slow paced ride to the ocean - The ride was gentle enough for a first time rider. The horses know the route so it doesn’t take too much skill to do the ride. Slow pace tour. Excellent views of the ocean when you get to the top of the ridge. No real snacks included in the price however, food and beverages are available. The ranch is nice. The staff is friendly.

Unsafe and Poorly Managed - Their management is not professional and has no emergency procedure. About half way into our tour they asked if we wanted to canter but the horses got excited and took off full speed. We kept yelling to slow down but the tour operator was not listening and distracted trying to tame their own horses. One of fell off our horse and it took the guide about 10 more minutes after the fall to get the horses to finally stop. After the injury they didn’t offer ice or water or anything. They kept trying to get us back on the horse even though we stated multiple times it was extremely painful. The horses were still agitated and braying around the operators and kicking sand aggressively. We requested to please go back using the extra ATV and asked that they please call The horses down and put them away. There was an injury report but much of this the guide filled out. No medical attention was offered. Our reservation was for 12:30 and when we arrived on time they were still setting up. There’s a $20 fee to enter the park. If you value safety or Managment etiquette, would NOT recommend this tour.
