★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,355 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $85Our pick

Ride a well-trained horse from Baja’s cactus desert to a secluded Pacific beach with guides such as Reyes, Victor, or Esteban. The pace suits beginners, and winter rides may bring whale sightings. Hotel pickup, safety gear, water, and tequila tasting are included, but add $25 for park entry.

“The driver picked us right up from our hotel, even though it was quite a long drive to the ranch. Everybody was very friendly, the horses were well behaved, and the ride was beautiful. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We even saw whales while riding on the beach. I did not read far enough down and realize there was a $25 fee on top of the cost to get into the park where we rode. Just be aware of that and take cash if possible.”

“It is a really cool tour but you are not allowed to bring your phone to take any pictures during the trip because they have their own photographer and the offer is over 40 Dollar per person for the photopackage which feels like a total rip off. Also EVERYONE is asking for tips and extra money, which is really not ok, since the package should cover all the services. Insurance package comes extra, sodas come extra for the lunch etc. Etc. We were still happy that we did it but it could be better organized. Shout-out to our driver Nachiin Alvarez, he was incredibly nice and gave us great recommendations…”

We were given incorrect times made to walk very long distances and throughout the day not told clear instructions on what to expect at what times and where to be. I felt that I could have made much better use of the day going solo than with this tour.”
