This was our first real time horseback riding, but we were taught everything we needed to know and didn't feel like we were overburdened with instructions. It was a great time overall!
We were promptly picked up at our hotel by our guide, Nestor. He was extremely pleasant and warm. It turned out that he was to be our guide on the ride as well.
We arrived at the ranch and were ready to go. Of course, my niece wanted the biggest horsed there. But Nelson fitted her to the appropriate size and personality and she loved it. All of the horses were well cared for and looked extremely healthy.
The ride itself was gorgeous. We traveled through the desert and in and out of cactus fields. We rode all the way to the ocean and stopped to take some photos and investigate the lava rock. Nelson was informative and funny and made the ride very special. Upon our return he even popped my niece up on the large horse she liked from the very beginning.
After our departure, Nelson emailed me all of the pictures he had taken of our adventure. Truly a great ride and it was made even better by such a great guide. Thanks so much!
Pros:
-Scene of the rough water beach is amazing
Cons:
-Trail from their ranch to the open is very narrow and we both got poked by cactus. It is not maintained too well.
- We made our way back around 5pm and were bit by mosquitoes. We each had about 8 bug bits and wish we were warned prior to put on bug spray.
