A Vacation Must!
Sarah_K, Apr 2024
This excursion was fantastic! The ranch was easy to book with and the staff were kind and informative. The animals are all treated extremely well and taken care of properly. The place is full of rescued horses and dogs, and it is obvious how much care and affection the staff has for the animals. They match you to a horse based on size as well as riding experience, and told us a bit about the horses past and personality. The tour guide even helped us sort out confusion with our cab as we don’t speak spanish. This was the only ride I could find where the sole focus is on the trail riding experience. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!
Perfect end to my vacation!

I scheduled my ride for the last day of my vacation. It was myself and two other guests on our ride. This place is by far the best run horseback riding tour that I have been to. You can 100% tell that they love and care for these animals. With all the horses being rescues, they vowed not to overwork their horses. They all look very healthy and happy. Throughout the ride, the guide chatted about all of the local vegetation, and animals we saw along the way. We stopped at an ancient Mayan ruin on the property, as well. It was very personal and interesting. It did not feel as if we were rushed or “ just another tourist “. They genuinely seemed to care about us enjoying the experience and getting to know us. As an animal lover, I often leave some establishments with a heavy heart, because the animals are not treated as I would have hoped. Here, I left with my heart full. There is no question in my mind that they are doing this job, because they absolutely love it and are passionate about it. If I come back to Playa, I would definitely put this on my list of things to do again.

Our family of five had a wonderful experience! Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable; the horses were well cared for. We enjoyed our wine and beer after the ride.
Caters to everyone!
Lily_F, Jan 2024
We had the best time here. They cater to every rider which is great as I had more experience than my friend and after we finished our ride through the jungle one of the workers took me out for a canter which was so much fun. The jungle is so pretty and they even shared some stories about the lore of the area. It’s very clear they take good care of their horses and the dogs they have around the property. It was good vibes as soon as we got there. Lisa does an amazing job of running the ranch.
Great experience!
