100% Recommended
100% recommend! My recommendations for the tour and clothing are at the end! This experience was amazing from start to finish! The communication and customer service were excellent, they responded to my questions within minutes. I mainly wanted to make sure getting there and back with Uber/rideshare would be easy and it is. For anyone booking, I definitely recommend using Barceló Puerto Vallarta as your drop off/pick up location for Uber or rideshare. From there, you can communicate with the tour staff easily, and they may already be there waiting for you. The horseback riding tour itself was beautiful and beginner friendly, no matter your riding experience level. Plus they will give you a lesson in the begging before starting. I had such a great time. The scenery was gorgeous, and the guides made the entire experience feel comfortable and fun. One of my favorite parts was the restaurant stop. The food was really good, the drinks were delicious (I had two margaritas!), and the outdoor area was beautiful. We actually got into the water near the restaurant before our food came out, then relaxed, ate, air dried, and got right back on the horses. We didn’t even need towels. A few tips for future guests: • Bring cash if possible because cards are about 5% more. • The restaurant food and drinks are definitely worth it. • If wearing pants, wear lightweight breathable/waterproof pants. • Shorts are completely fine too, I wore cargo shorts, but avoid very short shorts because the ride could become uncomfortable. If you wear shorts, make sure you put mosquito spray on, but if you do forget they do have some for you

⭐ Great Horses, Great Guide, Beautiful Ride
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a great time on this horseback ride in Mismaloya. The terrain was beautiful and one of the most fun parts was riding the horses through the small streams along the trail. Our guide Emmanuel was excellent—very friendly and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe before and during the ride. Our horses Margarita, Paloma, and Popeye were calm, easy to ride, and clearly very well cared for. They made the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable. If you're visiting Puerto Vallarta and looking for a fun outdoor adventure, this is definitely worth doing. Thank you Emmanuel for such a great experience! Tip for future guests: ask for Emmanuel as your guide! 🐎

Great for kids
The guides were kind, helpful and made sure we had a great time. It was just right for my 8 and 10 year old kids! The horses know the route well, so the kids basically just need to hold on and enjoy. Beautiful views of the mountains. Lots of little stream crossings through the forest. The short break time for a swim or snack before heading back was nice.

Absolutely Amazing Experience
This was one of the best experiences of our lives. The scenery was breathtaking, the horses were wonderful, and the service was fantastic. So much fun. Highly recommended!! We will do this every time we visit Puerto Vallarta.

Great family trip
We had a large group. They did a great job of leading us and making sure everyone was comfortable. My daughters loved the trip. My youngest (6) was nervous and they did a great job of making her feel comfortable. They walked her horse the whole time. The trip did include crossing a couple of streams which was really cool, but your shoes may get wet. The scenery was beautiful and all the horses were very calm. There was a nice stop halfway where you could swim or hike. There was also zip lining and food for an additional purchase.

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Fun Horseback Tour in Mismaloya: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Fun Horseback Tour in Mismaloya cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Vallarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Fun Horseback Tour in Mismaloya take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Vallarta is not rushed.
Is Fun Horseback Tour in Mismaloya worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 38 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Fun Horseback Tour in Mismaloya?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Fun Horseback Tour in Mismaloya suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Fun Horseback Tour in Mismaloya?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Vallarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Vallarta and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Fun Horseback Tour in Mismaloya start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Vallarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta?
+
On Outty we rank every Puerto Vallarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Winner 2026 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats, Food & Mixology Tour:Tequila,Tacos, Mezcal and Agave Cocktails. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Vallarta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puerto Vallarta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
