Horseback riding !!
It was a great experience, and as first-time riders, Carla and Cody made it very easy for my partner and me to enjoy it. I would highly recommend this to anyone eager to try something new or open to fresh ideas.

Perfect cowboy
The instructor was very nice he was respectful he was straight out of a story book and I love him in the most appropriate way. The ride was nice and easy once I got the hang of it. Perfect I’m going back

HORRIBLE! Had the wrong address and made me and my aunt miss our horseback riding, got to the wrong address
You guys put the wrong addrees. The GPS had me and my aunt go to the wrong address and fell in a ditch in a private property. I almost had to pay $250 to have my rental car lifted out and removed because it fell in a ditch, all because you guys didn’t provide a specific address. No refund was given. UNACCEPTABLE!!

We had a really great time. We appreciate the staff and the horses who work hard all day. I like that I was way in the back and they gave me some freedom to control my horse how I liked without getting told off at every moment. My horses name was Pico, and my girls horse was Dory. I’ve had some experience with horses and she had none, and they matched us up well with our horses. We are forever grateful for the great people and the great horses at this family-owned ranch. The staff was great and was not annoyed with us being outgoing with them. They also asked to borrow my phone and snap pictures of our experience which was nice and considerate. And now I have some nice memories in my phone. I also met a horse in the stables who only had one eye, which was cute cuz I feel like other places would’ve rejected the handsome guy

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mulholland Trail Horseback Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Angeles.
How much does Mulholland Trail Horseback Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Los Angeles usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mulholland Trail Horseback Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Los Angeles is not rushed.
Is Mulholland Trail Horseback Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 297 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Los Angeles, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mulholland Trail Horseback Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Mulholland Trail Horseback Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mulholland Trail Horseback Tour?
+
Around 104 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mulholland Trail Horseback Tour 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles?
+
Los Angeles rewards travellers who cluster their bookings by geography rather than by theme. Studio tours and Hollywood walks sit inland, the Malibu and Santa Monica coast runs west, and Griffith Observatory and the canyon hikes work best at dawn or dusk. We weight transport clarity in the ranking here: whether pickup is included changes an LA day more than the tour itself. On Outty we rank every Los Angeles experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hollywood Sign 2.5-Hour Tour with Comedians and Their Dogs, Los Angeles Hollywood Sign Hike: Front, Behind, and Expert Guide, Griffith Observatory Hike: Guided Tour through Griffith Park. 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 Los Angeles?
+
March to May and September to November, for clear air and open canyon roads. 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 Los Angeles?
+
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.
What is included in Mulholland Trail Horseback Tour?
+
Included: 1-hour horseback ride; and Helmet. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Mulholland Trail Horseback Tour?
+
Once you get onto Beachwood Drive, keep going until you get to the Sunset Ranch gate. Tap the buzzer and we'll let you in. After you pass the gate, park if the dirt lots below the ranch and walk on up! Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Mulholland Trail Horseback Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Mulholland Trail Horseback Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Mulholland Trail Horseback Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Mulholland Trail Horseback Tour if the weather is bad?
+
