Fun day with Pilo! - Amazing time in the back woods and seeing cool natural hot springs. We crossed water 3-4 times on horses which is such a unique experience!

Amazing! - Amazing experience. Our driver Carlos was amazing and very knowledgeable. Took us to the town where we would be riding the horses, we met Jamie which was our tour guide and he made the experience a 20/10. Definitely would recommend.

Best horse experience in Puerto - Incredible experience! Our guide Willy was such a kind person, we appreciated his attention and care for us and the animals! Best experience in puerto and I’m glad we booked with him rather than some larger operators.

Horseback riding adventure in Puerto Escondido! - If you are ever in Puerto Escondido and are interested in a little adventure, I highly recommend taking part in this experience. I booked this horseback riding excursion for my mother and myself without knowing what to expect. My mother is a bit older and has never been on a horse before so I was quite nervous that it would be too much for her to handle but she did great and she loved every minute of it! The guide was very helpful in getting my mother situated on the horse as well as getting her accustomed to the horses movements. She struggled with her first horse, and the guide exchanged horses with her to make her comfortable. There were moments when the horses moved a bit faster than anticipated, but it was nothing that couldn't be managed. It all depends on how comfortable you feel with the horses. You will get wet crossing the river on the horse, so even if you don't plan on getting in the water at the hot springs, be sure you still plan for wet feet. The hot springs are quite hot, but they do vary in temperatures, so you'll have some options to choose from. We had plenty of time at the hot springs, so I'd recommend bringing clothes to get in the water. Lastly, the owner of Experiencias Nativas was very gracious, and he made it apparent that he cares about making sure his guests have a good experience. He offers several other trips, another of which i left a review for as well (turtle release). He was very accommodating, and I highly highly highly recommend you look into his other trips if horseback riding is too much.

Truly an amazing experience - Will picked us up at our hotel and we drove to his small town where we got on some very well trained horses. On horseback we crossed the river several times and ended up at these breathtaking natural hot springs!! Will had lots of interesting information to share and there was some very scenic places to appreciate throughout this trip. Highly recommended!!

Unreal day out - We had the most incredible time on this day out. Absolute must for anyone staying in puerto escondido. So much fun and William and Nico were so helpful and accommodating to any requests on the tour, including stopping for swims along the way in the river. Highly highly recommend. The scenery was incredible as well.
