    Good but balance expectations

    As it was rainy season we didn’t get to be along or within the river. We ended up riding horses up random roads partially into the mountains. The horses were great and well mannered. As we road in single line I didn’t actually get to be near or next to my partner for the hour journey. The food and beverages after were delicious. The adventure was about 5.5 hrs round trip and honestly we were ready to be done around 4.5 hrs. The extra hour as the boutique hotel wasn’t added value.

    Great tour at exceptional price

    Great tour guide in Fabricio, very patient and accommodating. Tequila tasting was informational and delicious. Lunch at the resort was very nice, loved making our own salsa.

    10 out of 10 would ALWAYS recommend

    Martin made the whole experience absolutely amazing. He took the time to explain the different plants and processes for each tequila. The tasting was fantastic. The horses love him and were so happy to follow him. We did a couple river crossings, but due to the rain the water was a little more rapid and dirty so we didn’t swim, but it didn’t hurt the experience at all. The hotel where the tasting and lunch were served was straight out of a movie. You’re surrounded by lush mountains on each side.. it’s beautiful, quiet, and the people who worked there were amazing as well. This is a trip I would do again and again. Highly recommend

    Just book it!

    This has definitely been the highlight of my stay in PV, what an exhilarating experience! The guide is full of fun and energy, the horses are so well behaved and know their job. The stop for tequila tasting and relaxing by the pool in the countryside, surrounded by mountains and the river, is an experience not easy to find. 100% would do this again! Recommendation: bring a hat, longer pants, sunscreen, and shoes you don’t care about getting wet. And be prepared to have lots of tequila 😅

    Fun experience!

    Overall experience was pretty nice! Horses are definitely well taken care of but the instructions could’ve been a bit more detailed for first time riders. They just have you read a wall of basic instructions lol. Would recommend wearing closed toed sneakers & bringing a small backpack with swimming clothes so you can change. It’s optional to go super deep in the water with your horse but one person on our tour did it & it was cool to see. Depending on the dust level, bandanas may be needed to cover your face but it’s doable without. We thought the swimming portion was going to be shorter so we didn’t bring any changing clothes but it’s actually on a resort location & you spend around 2hrs by the pool. There’s bathrooms as well so you can easily change. Food was great & delicious! The tequila tasting was also nice as well.

    Horseback Riding: Tequila Tasting, BBQ & Margaritas: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.

    How much does Horseback Riding: Tequila Tasting, BBQ & Margaritas cost?

    +

    Prices start at $100 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 Horseback Riding: Tequila Tasting, BBQ & Margaritas take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Horseback Riding: Tequila Tasting, BBQ & Margaritas worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 277 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 Horseback Riding: Tequila Tasting, BBQ & Margaritas?

    +

    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: Tequila Tasting, BBQ & Margaritas suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Horseback Riding: Tequila Tasting, BBQ & Margaritas?

    +

    Around 97 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Horseback Riding: Tequila Tasting, BBQ & Margaritas 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.
