Great Activity
Very fun outing. Staff was very helpful and ensured everyone was comfortable on their horses before we departed. Great ride and very scenic.

Great excursion! Would recommend!
What an excellent experience! The ranch was so nice to visit, the staff were amazing. We ended up with a private tour because we were the only ones signed up and they didn’t cancel the excursion which we appreciated. Highlight of my trip! The views were incredible and the ride was gorgeous! Loved every minute of it!

I put 1 star because it's not possible to put 0. Purchased this excursion onboard as a “premium" . When we arrived, we were immediately asked for an extra 10 bucks cash for a national park fee that wasn’t mentioned at booking. When we arrived downstairs we saw that the horses seemed exhausted and neglected (hooves badly in need of trimming, one animal refused to move and was pushed to continue anyway, the volunteers were really embarrassed by the situation). The ride itself lasted just over an hour despite being sold as a 3-hour outing. The guides explained it includes transport and a briefing, but that’s not what “3 hours on horseback” suggests.... The photos they sell after are taken by volunteers, not photographers, and priced accordingly high (30$ THE picture??? And its not even printed...) I wouldn't recommend this place to nobody.

Horseback Riding Tour in Cabo San Lucas: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Jose del Cabo.
How much does Horseback Riding Tour in Cabo San Lucas cost?
+
Prices start at $89 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Jose del Cabo 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 Tour in Cabo San Lucas take?
+
Plan for about 3.3 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 San Jose del Cabo is not rushed.
Is Horseback Riding Tour in Cabo San Lucas worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 411 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Jose del Cabo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Horseback Riding Tour in Cabo San Lucas?
+
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 Tour in Cabo San Lucas suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Horseback Riding Tour in Cabo San Lucas?
+
Around 144 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 San Jose del Cabo 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 San Jose del Cabo and add a light layer if any part of the 3.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Horseback Riding Tour in Cabo San Lucas 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 San Jose del Cabo 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 San Jose del Cabo?
+
On Outty we rank every San Jose del Cabo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Land’s End Experience: Arch, Beaches and Marine Life, Cabo Electric Bike Beach Adventure with Margaritas and Lunch, Cabo 4x4 ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch. 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 San Jose del Cabo?
+
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 San Jose del Cabo?
+
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.
