Horseback Riding Tour in Cabo San Lucas

3.Horseback Riding Tour in Cabo San Lucas

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 393 reviews · 3 hours 35 minutes (approx.) · from $65Best value

Rancho Carisuva’s horseback tour combines a traditional Baja ranch, desert trails, ocean views, and a beach ride. A guide matches you with a horse for your experience level, while the ranch’s turtle conservation work adds a local connection. Plan on about an hour in the saddle, plus transport and time at the ranch.

“We had to reschedule due to a storm, which was understandable. The pick up time kept changing and then the driver had issues which changed the time again. When we did get to the ranch, the horses were all being used for another group so the owner offered a ATV ride while we waited. The ATV ride was fun and we saw some neat things. After we got back we were able to ride the horses and that was also enjoyable. All in all it was a fun day.”

“We had a great time on the ATVs and Horses. I do recommend that Viator update their description to include the extra charges so people aren’t surprised to pay more fees when they arrive. They charge for the entry fee (which is stated in description) but they ALSO charge you $35 fee pp for riding ATVs or give you the option to do a $500 temporary hold on a Credit Card in case of any damages to the vehicle.”

Bilingual guides lead the activities, and one guide named Amel was praised for making the family outing fun. Budget an extra $25 park fee per person.

“We did the horses and sky bike tour. Lots of fun Amel was a great guide! The horse back riding was very mild no real area to open up and run. The bike was exciting, very different and totally safe! I would pass on the private tour upgrade and save the money to buy photos at the end. The tour groups are all small and it is hard to take you own pictures while doing these activities.”
