The trail was scenic with amazing views of the ocean. The horses we had were very well behaved and our tour guide was nice.

Loved it, amazing experience. Would 100% recommended if visiting Cabo. Good for experienced or no experienced riders. Horses are very good.
Amazing trail, views and staff 🫶🏽
Eric_C, Apr 2024
The staff is amazing! They were kind and helpful, and the trail was breathtaking. Highly recommend buying the pictures because they look amazing!
Nice ride through the desert and beach.
Mike_D, Apr 2024
Our guide was very nice and took us through a short path through the desert and then onto the beach. The views are wonderful. My only suggestion is that the riders get a little more coaching on how to stop the horse when they take off on a run/quick jot. That can be scary for someone who doesn't ride.
Fantastic ranch experience
Sean_K, Apr 2024
My girlfriend and I loved this place. We booked a horseback ride on Viator for Friday afternoon. It was on a ranch named Carisuva with horses, donkeys, chickens, atv's and all. We got to ride the horses along the beach near the end which was beautiful. They let us feed the horses when we got back and my girlfriend and I bought some great pictures they took during our ride. We heard that they had ATV tours and as we were talking to someone who worked there, the owner overheard and offered us a phenomenal deal for my girlfriend and I and gave me his personal number. We came back Monday for the ATV ride. They didn't have any tour busses left to pick us up because I had booked it with the owner personally and we had a rental car. It worked out even better as we made great use of our time there. We arrived to find that it was just our guide, my girlfriend, and I and we basically got a private tour with the ATV's. They probably never reached max speed because they definitely had some giddyup. But we still had a blast and got to go fast. Everyone there was very kind and helpful. The property is a few hundred feet from the beach and we asked if we could go to the beach afterwards and they had no problem with it. So we basically got to hang out on the beach for an hour with basically no one else there. It was beautiful. They also told us we could feed the horses at 6 and allowed my girlfriend and I into the pasture. We helped feed the horses and donkeys. We got to hang out and pet the donkeys and horses and ended up being on the property for a total of almost 4 hours. All we were charged was for the ATV tour at a great price. So the fact that we had to drive there worked in our favor as we really got to experience the ranch, beach, and animals. Hugo was our guide for the horseback riding Friday as well as the ATV's on Monday. He was very helpful and kind. He was from France and said he was living on the ranch for a period of time volunteering. It seemed like he enjoyed the experience and he definitely made our experience better. Carisuva basically made our trip as special as it was. I would give it 10 out of 10 because I'm not sure 5 stars does our experience justice.
Gorgeous ranch, well cared for animals, LGBT+ friendly :)
Julie_M, Apr 2024
Rancho Carisuva is an amazing place with extremely well kept happy animals which was one of my biggest concerns for this excursion. They also have adorable rescue donkeys onsite! My partner and I were the only two people on the excursion, we were paired with horses suited to our skills and our tour lead Ryan was very kind and knowledgeable. As a nervous rider, I was comfortable once we got going and I felt very cared for. The ride was a little less than an hour over different terrains (earth, sandy, rocky, uphill, downhill). Christine at the front desk took these great photographs! Worth buying since my hands rarely left the reigns to take my own. Would recommend!!
Great horseback riding experience

Fantastic guides, horses had personality and spunk. Love that the animals are treated so well, very social and get time to free range. The staff and animals are very welcoming. Nothing better than crashing waves next to a calm horse.

Levi_P, Mar 2024
The guide changed the time for pickup which conflicted with other plans we had. He stopped speaking with me when I said the time change wouldn’t work and I wanted a refund.
Amazing place and great experience!
Krista_K, Mar 2024
This place is amazing. Their guides are top notch, the owner truly cares about his animals. They rescue donkeys and provide an amazing home for all of their animals. If you want a real ranch and riding experience, this is the one for sure!
Quality horse tour! Happy healthy horses!
Melissa_B, Mar 2024
Horse tour experience was wonderful with knowledgeable tour guide. The horses were obviously well taken care of and happy. Will be back again!
Best part of our vacation!

This was a true highlight of our trip to Cabo. Seriously, if you do one thing while you're in the area, make it this. What a wonderful organization, and what an incredible experience. I was afraid the area and beach would be very touristy, but it is the opposite. It's rugged, raw, undeveloped, and truly awe-inspiring. My husband and I brought two of our daughters - ages 17 and 21 - and we all had a wonderful time. Maybe the only critique I have is that our 21yo was given a mule, and she's the most experienced rider of all of us, so I'm not sure how or why that happened. I think she was pretty disappointed but wasn't sure how to ask for a different horse. Our guides were amazing, though, and the ride was the perfect length for those of us who haven't ridden a horse in a while. Honestly, I would prioritize a trip back to Cabo just so I could do this again. I only wish they had an option where you could spend the entire day there, riding, helping with the horses, donkeys and chickens, and relaxing on the beach. I would sign up for that every year!

KristiLynn_B, Mar 2024
We thought we booked the first ride of the day, but ended up waiting for the horses to get back as they were already out with a large group. Then we found out our guide had quit that morning, so a past employee would be filling in. It didn't feel particularly well run, but our fill-in guide JW was great, the horses well mannered, and the views gorgeous. It was disappointing that the photographer didn't come down to the beach, but she got some good pics up top.
Amazing experience
Ralf_T, Feb 2024
Wonderful experience with my family on our vacation to Cabo. Pickup and set up went smooth and we found ourselves spending time with the horses at the beautiful farm near the beach. We've received training and tips on how to ride the horses and we were off to our adventure. It was very picturesque and beautiful scenery around us. The horses were well taken care of and trained. It was such a fun time. The views were stunning. The photos came out really amazing, the photographer took the time to get nice angles from us and the group. They were some stunning, magazine style photos we've received. That was definitely worth it. It was such a nice experience and the staff was friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. We had some snacks and drinks after and really enjoyed this adventure. Thank you again to the entire team for providing such a wonderful experience.
Great for even experienced riders
Shannon_P, Feb 2024
This tour deserves all the highest ratings! The ride was absolutely fantastic and so much fun. The ride was just my group which included myself, my mom, and my sister in law - all experienced riders. Our guides were excellent and the horses were lovely! Would absolutely do this again next time in Cabo San Lucas!
Beautiful ranch
Kendall_A, Feb 2024
Sweetest and knowledgeable guides, social horses, kindest management. Would recommend to anybody, cheers to carisuva.
Nice horseback adventure
Sam_S, Jan 2024
Good guides. Well trained horses. Nice scenery. Why do you have a 100 character minimum? Ill ask again to get to 100...
Truly magnificent!
Kunga_D, Jan 2024
We had such a great time. The guide Sarah was so kind with us and patient. I had not ridden a horse in a long time and even the basics felt beyond me. She was very gentle with her corrections. And speaking of the gentle the horses were so sweet. I rode Indio who was a little sad we couldn't gallop on the beach but otherwise was just a heart throb. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the farm. In addition to horses there is a donkey sanctuary and also a marine biologist working with baby sea turtles! (we got to see some and they were so cute). The horse ride went on for about an hour - we got to scale some large rocky hills and go onto multiple beaches. It was some beautiful scenery and we were super lucky to get a private ride.
Awesome experience!
Lindsey_K, Jan 2024
We had a wonderful time on this excursion! It was so nice having transportation provided to and from our hotel. The property is beautiful and overlooks the ocean and the horses are beautiful and happy! We had a great ride with our knowledgeable guides and they did a great job catering to our different experience levels.
