A very enjoyable experience - It was a bit further out than we had expected, about 40 m from puerto Escondido, but the drive is pleasant given they pick you up in an air conditioned car. The ride was so sweet, along a trail, then across a river in a boat while the horses swim over (they’re great swimmers) and then onto the beach for a gallop around for awhile before heading back again. On the way home there were fireflies and it was amazing for us given we don’t have these in Australia. Our guide was super helpful and looked after our every moment- an expert rider and horseman. Great fun

Magic - It was a magic experience. Even with no experience i felt save riding the horse, thanks to the team who was really careful and patient with us. The horses too were really peaceful and well trained. I would have loved to ride longer on the beach

Horseback riding along a... - Horseback riding along a quiet beach was magical. Horses were well training and maintained. Highly suggest to wear and bring bug repellent, as well as pesos to enjoy snacks/beverages available midpoint through the ride.

Great experience! - Amazing experience for our family. Tour guides were knowledgeable and attentive. After crossing a couple slow moving rivers and the river leading to the lagoon we road to Playa Suelo where we visited a small restaurant, ate delicious fried fish and shrimp plate while we watched the sunset. If you can wear pants, wear them because the saddle may cause rash.

The trip was not... - The trip was not available due to high water in the lagoon, so they offered me the horseriding to the hot springs. It was great! Willy is such a friendly guide. There were no drinks included though, so bring your own.

Fun Horseback ride! - Nice experience - we weren't able to do the sunset tour as it was raining heavily where the trail was, but the company was very accommodating and we were able to do it the next morning instead. No sunset and unfortunately the two restaurants we stopped at for lunch were closed (not in anyone's power to control) but it was still a very fun experience! Horses were very well trained as well and the guides very knowledgeable as well.

Never showed up! - Absolute disappointment. I booked and paid this trip and also got a booking confirmation with pick-up time. However, they never showed up. After trying numerous times, I Finally got someone on the phone who told me there were no trips that day. I got my money refunded but my last day in Puerto Escondido was ruined. As I read in the reviews that this has happened before, I strongly advies you to book through another firm!

Tour guide did not show up for confirmed activity - sent no explanation/communication whatsoever - We ended up wasting our last evening in front of our accommodation for this tour guide to pick us up for a confirmed (and paid for) reservation- received no updates/cancellation message. After booking the experience and getting confirmation, the organizers got in touch with us via WhatsApp saying that the experience was no longer available on that day and rescheduled for two days later. We confirmed multiple times (including one day before the experience) that the activity would go ahead as it was our last day in Puerto Escondido and we really wanted to experience this. We were assured that the activity was confirmed. On the day, they did not come to pick us up and did not reply to any of our messages. Had they communicated to us that the experience would not happen we would have booked another experience or found another organizer. We have thankfully received a full refund but not our time that these guys wasted with poor communication. Hopefully this is an isolated incident (and yes we have screenshots of all communication with them).
