Ride a horse in the beach - We were picked up at our hotel by Fabian, and he was an excellent guide for the trip to Playa Larga. We took a private horse ride for two people through town, in the beach, through the coconut plantation and forest. Our guide, Raymond, was full of interesting information. It was a very peaceful and relaxing few hours.

Great experience! - Amazing time. Guide was friendly, shared local information, and prompt. Horses were perfect for many of our inexperienced riders. Definitely the way to go”walk” on the beach.

A perfect day, horseback riding on the beach! - Ulises picked us up in the morning from our condo. He took us to his sisters ranch where we got to ride through the little town there and onto the beach. It was beautiful. The waves were crashing. It was a beautiful day. We went up through a coconut Grove and back down onto the beach. When we got back, he took us to a place right next-door where we got to have lunch. It was a Sunday afternoon and lots of families were there from the area, it was very good. He took very good care of us. I would highly recommend this for riding horses on the beach. It was a great tour.

Best Guide Ever - Personalized & Professional! - This is a wonderful tour company. Iglesias, the owner, is so kind and responsive. He took care of everything we needed, from providing information about the tours, to coming right to our door to pick us up. We did the two hour horseback riding tour on the beach. It was perfect. Loved the family vibe, as the horseback riding is done by Iglesias’s nephew, Pablo. He also has many other tours. Really wish we had learned about this company when we first arrived, and not just on our last day here. We would have done a tour with Iglesias every day if we had known!

Great ride on the beach and fun with Ulises and KETAVI! - Ulises is a friendly helpful and informative guide. We had a great ride on the beach with him and learned about flora and fauna of the region. We could not have enjoyed the tour more. We are going to book another tour with KETAVI again!

Pleasant walk on the beach - This was a wonderful experience for beginner horseback riders. It was a leisurely stroll along the beach, with scenic views. Transportation to and from our hotel was also provided.

Fun Ride & good tour company with transportation, horses are malnourished - I will start by saying I had a great time. The trail ride was beautiful and they catered to all experience levels. I am an experienced rider and horse owner, and they let me canter on the beach. They also catered to another family with all beginners. The ranch’s tour guide Ramon was also very friendly and informative. When picking a horseback tour in Zihua, my group and I compared what appeared to be multiple different horse riding tours online, wanting to pick a business that looked like they treated their horses well (well fed, not too skinny or malnourished in the pictures). However when we arrived, we realized all these rides use the same ranch, just different tour companies. So while transportation is arranged by a separate tour group (which by the way was a nice experience by Ketavi, which I am posting this review for), the horse ride itself is put on by just Rancho El Riscal. Once you get there, you’ll likely be joining a group(s) from another tour group or resort. The horses at this ranch were too skinny. They are taken on multiple tour rides per day, which makes sense as it’s a business, but they burn a lot of energy doing so. They also didn’t offer any water to the horses after the ride. When we brought up our concerns during and at the end of the ride, the tour guide from the ranch explained it’s just seasonal (dry season = less foliage for them to eat). And that we should try to promote their business to other tourists so they can get more $ to take care of the horses, since they have so many. This didn’t sit well with us. In addition, during our horse ride, we passed another private ranch (not used for tours) and we noticed their horses looked  healthy and well fed), so it’s certainly possible to keep horses well fed during this season. While we had fun, I’m embarrassed to post pictures online because our horses were too skinny. I felt bad riding them. If the ranch just took better care of their horses, this would be a 5 out of 5 experience. Direct feedback for Rancho El Riscal: Tourists want to ride healthy horses. Treat your horses better, and more tourists will come! You might not think this is important or noticed by tourists, but it is. Thank you.
