Fantastic!
We had such a wonderful experience horse riding! From the very beginning, Jose made us feel completely comfortable and welcome. The horses were incredibly sweet, well-trained, and listened very well. You could clearly see that they are very well cared for — they looked healthy, clean, and well-groomed. It’s obvious that the team truly cares about the horses and treats them with love and respect. Riding through the beautiful area along the river was absolutely stunning. Jose also shared fun and interesting facts about nature during the ride, which made it not only relaxing but also educational. It was the perfect combination of adventure, beautiful scenery, and great company. We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable horse riding tour! 🐎🌿
Response from the operator: It is great to hear that the quiet beauty of the river and the gentle spirit of our horses made such a lasting impression on you. Jose was will be touched by your kind words, as he takes pride in ensuring every guest feels like a welcomed friend from the very first moment they arrive at St. Leonard’s. We believe that a horse’s well-being is reflected in their eyes and their steady steps, and knowing you could see the love and respect we have for our herd means the so much to us. There is something so restorative about sharing a peaceful trail and a few "nature secrets" with a soulful four-legged partner, especially in a place as beautiful as this. We are so grateful to have been part of your Belizean memories and hope to welcome you back to the riverbanks again very soon.

We ride at dawn!
Not all of us were convinced that we were horseback riders, but this was an incredible experience all around! Imagine riding horses through the jungles of Belize ( ok, some was on the road to the jungle, but we don't let facts get in the way of a good story, do we?), when off in the distance you can see a pyramid towering over the trees 4 km away! The jungle is full of flowers in full bloom, and the scents of citrus fruits and allspice. My horse was fond of the local grasses and stopped by his buffet often. Just a nudge from me was all that he needed to get going again. Our guides were very experienced, the horses were the best we have ever ridden (we aren't riders, but still...), the ruins were truly spectacular and way better than the photos, to top it all off with a swim by the waterfalls was just icing on the cake. I've used way too many superlatives here but I really was stunned by it all. This was the best all day tour: riding, loads of stairs, lunch was delicious and simple(chicken, rice with beans coleslaw and juice), very informative guides and even a terrific swim on a hot day. If you are fit and love to be active, it's worth it!
Response from the operator: Thank you for such a vivid and enthusiastic review of your adventure with St. Leonard’s! We love that even those who weren’t convinced they were horseback riders found the experience to be truly unforgettable. Riding through the jungle with the breathtaking view of Xunantunich in the distance is a magical moment, and we’re glad you appreciated the beauty, scents, and even the occasional snack breaks from your horse! Our guides take great pride in ensuring both riders and horses have a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and it’s fantastic to hear that you felt so well taken care of. The ruins of Xunantunich are indeed even more awe-inspiring in person, and we couldn’t agree more that finishing the day with a refreshing swim by the waterfalls is the perfect way to cool off. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

Horseback Riding tour at rancho
Nice way to spend time in San Ignacio, even if you are not an experienced hourse rider. Rancho is quite big(really big) and green, hourses were well trained, Carla picked us up from our hotel and brought us back after. Toby the horse was a very good boy, totally aware of the job he was doing, I mean - I was not even telling him much what to do:)

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Jungle Farm ride + Big Rock Waterfall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Ignacio.
How much does Jungle Farm ride + Big Rock Waterfall cost?
+
Prices start at $170 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Ignacio usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Jungle Farm ride + Big Rock Waterfall take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 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 San Ignacio is not rushed.
Is Jungle Farm ride + Big Rock Waterfall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Ignacio, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Jungle Farm ride + Big Rock Waterfall?
+
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 Jungle Farm ride + Big Rock Waterfall suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Jungle Farm ride + Big Rock Waterfall?
+
Around 2 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 Ignacio 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 Ignacio and add a light layer if any part of the 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Jungle Farm ride + Big Rock Waterfall 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 Ignacio 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 Ignacio?
+
On Outty we rank every San Ignacio experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave Tour and Picnic, Xunantunich and Cave Tubing Combo Tour from San Ignacio, Tikal SUNSET, Archeological focus and Wildlife Spotting Tour (South and East). 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 Ignacio?
+
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 Ignacio?
+
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.
