Not what we expected….
The horseback riding itself is great, but when we got there, we were pressured into upgrading to a personal tour. This was supposedly a free gift for doing a timeshare meeting but when we got there, we were told we’d have to wait for quite some time until 20 riders showed up for a group tour. The other option they said was paying for a personal tour, which is what we did. Plus we found out if we did a group tour we could not bring our phone to take pictures that we would instead have to pay to buy a Photo package which was quite expensive..
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the horseback riding, but we’re sorry that other parts of your experience did not meet expectations. We understand your concerns about wait times, the private tour option offered upon arrival, and the photo policy. Our goal is always to maintain transparency in all available options and services so guests can make the choice that best fits their experience, and we regret if this was not your impression. Your comments are very valuable to us and will be shared with our team to improve communication and the overall guest experience. If you’d like to share more details, please contact us at community@cactustours.com. Thank you for your visit to Cactus Tours.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Horseback Riding Beach and Desert in Cabo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cabo San Lucas.
How much does Horseback Riding Beach and Desert in Cabo cost?
+
Prices start at $85 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cabo San Lucas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Horseback Riding Beach and Desert in Cabo take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Cabo San Lucas is not rushed.
Is Horseback Riding Beach and Desert in Cabo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 165 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cabo San Lucas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Horseback Riding Beach and Desert in Cabo?
+
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 Horseback Riding Beach and Desert in Cabo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Horseback Riding Beach and Desert in Cabo?
+
Around 58 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 Cabo San Lucas 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 Cabo San Lucas and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Horseback Riding Beach and Desert in Cabo 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 Cabo San Lucas 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 Cabo San Lucas?
+
On Outty we rank every Cabo San Lucas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cabo Desert Off-Road & Beach Horseback Combo and Tequila Tasting, Humpback Whale Watching Tour in Cabo San Lucas, Cabo All-Inclusive Private Beach Club with Open Bar and Buffet. 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 Cabo San Lucas?
+
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 Cabo San Lucas?
+
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.
