Wonderful! - Gerardo expertly guided our small group of 3 into the mountains and across rivers and up to the tequila bar. I’m an experienced rider and the horses are well cared for and very strong and fit. Most of the ride was at the walk due to the steep terrain.

Enjoy the jungle on horseback - Wonderful trail ride through the jungle, high in the mountains, with multiple river crossings was exactly what I was hoping to experience! I appreciated that they drove us to a higher altitude to begin our ride so that we were far from the noise of the ATVs & felt fully immersed in the jungle. We were fortunate that my husband and I were the only guests on the trail ride.
We saw many colorful butterflies & macaws. A stop halfway to dismount & stretch our legs was perfectly timed.
Horses are well cared for & easy to ride. Javier was our guide & helped make our experience delightful.
Enjoyed a leisurely lunch & beers after crossing the suspension bridge. Tequila tasting was fun.
I was grateful that their driver took us all the way back to our resort in Nuevo Vallarta when the experience was over. Wish we had brought more pesos to tip drivers to/from as well as our guide.

Great horseback riding in the hungle - My wife and I had a great time riding horses in the mountains with our guide Xavier. The views to the mountains and the jungle were stunning, they looked almost prehistoric! Xavier handed us cold water and beers on top of the mountains, which helped us with the heat. We finished our tour by walking on the Jorullo hanging bridge, which was a great surprise!

An enjoyable morning ride. - This was a fun thing to do. Pick up in PV was easy and we were driven out the ranch. A very professional operation. The horses we were matched with were well cared for and very obliging. Javier was our guide and he was very helpful and made the hack around the mountain paths interesting and enjoyable.

A very impressive, well-run, locally-owned operation - I think what impressed me the most is that this wonderful operation, which located on 10,000 acres according to our guide, is all locally owned, and that many of the people working there seem to be part owners. The scenery was beautiful, and the guides were excellent.

Amazing horse back riding opportunity in Puerta Vallarta! - Javier and the rest of the staff at Journey Vallarta Tours were fantastic! They were able to accommodate a very last minute booking and the small, intimate group that went horse back riding was ideal in that you were able to comfortably learn how to ride the horse, even if you were a beginner, yet still have the flexibility to really connect with the horse in deeply meaningful ways. I was able to speak in both Spanish and English with Javier who explained the amazing story of the family owned ranch and tour business as well as point at important ecological aspects of the incredible valley.
I can’t wait to visit Puerta Vallarta again to do another tour with this company. ¡Estaba perfecto!
