Gabriel and Mazapán are the best - The pick up was convenient and they accommodated dropping us off in the centre which made our day-planning a lot easier. Gabriel, our tour guide with the horses was incredible. Super friendly, great conversation, good vibes all around. You can tell he is a genuine person with a beautiful heart. Thank you for such a fun experience. My butt and back still hurt from the horse riding (I tried to race) but it was super worth it. This experience made #1 on my list from my first trip to Cabos

Once in a lifetime activity - Absolutely worth it! We visited as a couple and it was so fun to learn how to ride a horse and then gallop through the incredible beach nearby. This was easily the most memorable part of the trip because I also loved how calm and lovely my horse was. A few tips: - USE THE SHUTTLE! This location is a bit out of the way, but the shuttle service was amazing about timely pickup and drop off. We chose to Uber for the rest of our Cabo trip, but this was the one area out of the Ubering radius, so we were happy this shuttle service existed. - If this is your first time riding a horse, be careful! Horses are very intelligent and sensitive creatures. If you are nervous or lose control of your horse, you will scare them. If you are used to any animals in your life (have a dog or cat or other pet), the same logic applies. We had never ridden horses but have a kitty at home, so we knew how to assure the horses and work with them pretty easily. Be gentle and be measured with your movements. This is a safe activity overall, but the trainer won’t spend TOO long giving you instructions. So if you’re generally afraid of animals or easily nervous, this may not be the activity for you.

Emmanuel, Eduardo, and Alejandro are a star studded team - First, take advantage of the shuttle pickup. You won't need to worry about finding the place or parking. Alejandro the driver became a friend. He is very knowledgeable, he actually helped me find just the right spot to go to for dinner that night, María Corona! I told him that I was in the mood for mole. It's the best place to get mole in Cabo. I can't thank him enough. I had a blast. Second, 2PM is the best time slot. I went for a 2 hour ride. I was on the beach as the sun was setting. The photos came out great. Third, Emmanuel is very funny and a great teacher. Riding is intuitive so, just go for it! I felt confident on my ride and glad he was easy to talk to. I would like to go again. Lastly, Eduardo is a great photographer. He made it fun! He followed along the trail on his 4-wheeler, but gave us space. He even took shots from different locations to get just the right shot. My pictures came out better than expected. I got about 200 photos. Worth every peso!

Memorable - The horseback experience itself was Great. The guide was very helpful & friendly. I enjoyed that he gave background history on the area & beach itself. My only suggestion is to book transportation separately or be prepared to wait on the shuttle. There was a big delay in terms of pickup and waiting around. Otherwise this was def a pleasant experience! Pic attached

Horseback Riding Experience - Beautiful experience with stunning views. The only issue was transportation - they were 15 minutes late and upon arriving and leaving the excursion water was not offered.

Beautiful views, but took forever and customer service was meh - My son loves horses so we've done a lot of trail rides in various places (Colorado, Santa Barbara, Costa Rica, etc.). This was probably the worst one. Don't get me wrong, the views of the beach and desert were beautiful and made it worth doing, but we weren't thrilled with this particular company. First, we were picked up at 10:30 at our hotel. Our driver was friendly and said he had to pick up other groups at two other resorts. This took much longer than we expected and the driver, while friendly, drove like a maniac. We didn't get to the riding site until 12:00, then we had to wait another hour or so before we actually hit the trail. We told our guide that we had ridden before, but were not experts at all. He didn't even give us a refresher about the basics of riding. The first and last parts were along a busy highway, so it wasn't very scenic. The ride was over two hours long and our guide didn't suggest a break, only took pics of us at a scenic overlook on the beach. The pics came out nicely. The horses didn't get any water the entire time, which I found unusual since it was hot and dry. Our guide didn't check on how we were doing, just stopped and looked back and gave us a thumbs up once in a while. My horse and my husband's fought and my saddle became lopsided about 2 hours into the ride, so I was very uncomfortable at the end and desperate for the bathroom. The description says water is included, but we had to pay for it. Tequila tasting at the end was free, though. We didn't get back to our hotel until almost 5:00 pm, so it was a MUCH longer day than we expected. It was also more expensive than any other ride we've done before.

Pick somewhere close - The ride was fine but having to wait an hour for the jeep excursion to return and then being dropped off a hour later was not fun
