Best horseback experience
What an incredible experience! The horseback ride was absolutely amazing, and Ricardo, our guide, made it even more special. From riding through the river to exploring the beautiful mountain hills, every part of the adventure was unforgettable. Ricardo was exceptional. He took the time to share some of the history of the area with us and brought us to some truly majestic spots with breathtaking views. We were constantly amazed by the natural beauty surrounding us. The tour lasted about two hours, which was the perfect amount of time to really enjoy the scenery and the experience without ever feeling rushed. The price was very reasonable for everything that was included, and we felt it was an excellent value for the experience. The entire ride felt authentic, peaceful, and adventurous at the same time. The beautiful surroundings, combined with Ricardo's knowledge, friendliness, and attention to us, made the experience even better. Thank you, Ricardo, for making this such a memorable experience for us. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip, and we would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable horseback riding adventure!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the horseback ride and the beautiful scenery. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Ricardo. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure!

Amazing experience
This was the absolute best horseback riding tour I’ve ever experienced. Between the spectacular views, great temperament of the horses (I rode Garbanzo) and the amazing guides, Ricardo (Mexican Bruno Mars) and Jesus (Chewy), it could not have been any better. If you are looking for something to do, definitely give this a try, you won’t regret it! I’d do it again without question!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your amazing review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the ride, the beautiful views, and your time with Ricardo and Chewy. We hope to see you again soon!

The best tour ever
Our entire day could not have been better. I've been on quite a few horseback riding trails and this was the best! The horses are very well taken care of, the guides that we had were fantastic (Ricardo & Chewy). The views throughout the ride were phenomenal! I would book this same tour every time I'm in Puerto Vallarta!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your amazing review! We’re happy you enjoyed the horseback ride with Ricardo and Chewy. We look forward to seeing you again in Puerto Vallarta!

Sierra Madre Horseback Riding Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Sierra Madre Horseback Riding Tour 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 Sierra Madre Horseback Riding Tour 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 Sierra Madre Horseback Riding Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Sierra Madre Horseback Riding Tour?
+
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 Sierra Madre Horseback Riding Tour 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 Sierra Madre Horseback Riding Tour?
+
Around 3 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 Sierra Madre Horseback Riding 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 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, Taco Adventure Evening Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats. 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.
What is included in Sierra Madre Horseback Riding Tour?
+
Included: Complimentary welcome drink; Shuttle service (from the office); Fruit of the season; Purified water during the excursion; and Billigüe guide. Not included: Food and beverages; Pick-up and drop-off at the hotel; and Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Sierra Madre Horseback Riding Tour?
+
Head to River Park Las Glorias, directly across from Cafe Organic. The office features visible River Park logo on the front door. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Sierra Madre Horseback Riding 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 Sierra Madre Horseback Riding Tour?
+

Is Sierra Madre Horseback Riding 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 Sierra Madre Horseback Riding Tour if the weather is bad?
+
