I don’t recommend them....
I don’t recommend them. They don’t communicate properly with you about which time frame works best for you. I didn’t receive the service, yet I was still charged for it.

Amazing experience! Book this activity!
I absolutely loved this experience! The manager of the tour, Alfonso, contacted me a one day prior to the tour to confirm the details. The driver picked us us and we drove about 30 minutes to the property. The area is gated and very secure. The horses were well strained and gentle. My nine-year old son was able to ride by himself with the trainer, Luis, guiding the horse. The beach is lined with private houses and a golf resort. The water is calm and beautiful. Very relaxing. We did have one issue. The description of this activity says it includes drinks and water. We were not offered any beverages and when we asked about the drinks were told we would stop at a store on the way back to our accommodations by the guide on the property. However, when we asked the driver about the drinks he said he didn’t know anything about it. Overall, I enjoyed this experience very much. The trainer was kind and professional, the horses were lovely, and the scenery was incredible. I just ended the activity thirsty and a bit disappointed about the drinks. Tip: bring your own drinks and wet wipes to clean your hands

Great tour! Well trained horses.
What a great experience! I highly recommend. They picked us up from our resort and the time we agreed on. Once at the horses, they were beautiful and well trained. We rode for about an hour along the beach. We got to walk and trot! Our guide was great!

A wonderful day riding on a beach on great horses
A great day riding wonderful horses. We are riders with many years of experience on horseback. The horses were very well trained, smooth gaited, easy to control, criollo's with paso gaits. When the owner saw that we were experienced riders, he let us control the ride and he went along with us. It was truly a wonderful ride along a beautiful almost empty beach. Although there were many good reviews from beginner riders, our review is from the perspective of long time “horse people”. A wonderful ride on great horses, with the ride well suited for beginners through highly experienced riders. The owner was a pleasure to deal with. Pickup up and drop off were at the “old” cruise pier

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Horseback Riding Tour through the Beaches of Cartagena de Indias: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.
How much does Horseback Riding Tour through the Beaches of Cartagena de Indias cost?
+
Prices start at $43 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cartagena 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 through the Beaches of Cartagena de Indias 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 Cartagena is not rushed.
Is Horseback Riding Tour through the Beaches of Cartagena de Indias worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 92 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cartagena, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Horseback Riding Tour through the Beaches of Cartagena de Indias?
+
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 through the Beaches of Cartagena de Indias 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 Tour through the Beaches of Cartagena de Indias?
+
Around 32 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 Cartagena 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 Cartagena and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Horseback Riding Tour through the Beaches of Cartagena de Indias 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 Cartagena 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 Cartagena?
+
On Outty we rank every Cartagena experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Historic Center & Getsemaní Shared Tour in Cartagena, Cartagena Antigua & Barrio Getsemani group with audio system, Cartagena VIP Boat Tour: Rosario Islands & Snorkel. 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 Cartagena?
+
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 Cartagena?
+
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.
