Spend about five hours in La Ruta de los Cenotes combining a beginner horseback ride, jungle ATV course, four ziplines, a freshwater cenote, and a Mayan-style chicken fajita lunch. Guides such as Luis, Raul, Alex, and Sergio are praised for friendly help, though the pace, meal size, and paid photo package deserve a close look before booking.

“Horse riding, the horses were very well trained and behaved perfectly but it should be stated that this is for the very beginner as you only walk out and back for probably less than 1km covered in total. Cenote, arrive change drop in and leave in wet clothing. Spending less than half hr there in total. Was only because one person on tour told guide we were leaving guest behind that lad was not left in locked enclosure. We only had 7 of us on tour so would be quite easy to do head count. ATV and Zip, fun but over too quickly. Tequila tasting, information and fun. Safety equipment…”

Horseback Riding Tour in Cabo San Lucas

8.Horseback Riding Tour in Cabo San Lucas

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 393 reviews · 3 hours 35 minutes (approx.) · from $65

Ride from Rancho Carisuva through Baja’s cactus-filled desert to the Pacific shore. You’ll receive a horse matched to your ability, basic instruction, hotel pickup, and photo stops. Guides such as Luis and Thomas have been praised for their patience, while the actual ride often lasts about 45 to 60 minutes, not the full 3 hours 35 minutes.

“The staff are nice and the views are gorgeous; HOWEVER, the riding time is only 1 hour, and we expected it to be over 3 hours. The advertisement is quite misleading. Also, the photos should at least be free, considering the price and the additional park entrance cost. They should also make it clear from the beginning that the photos are not free-my friend thought the photos were included and therefore didn’t bother taking any of her own.”

“We had a great time on the ATVs and Horses. I do recommend that Viator update their description to include the extra charges so people aren’t surprised to pay more fees when they arrive. They charge for the entry fee (which is stated in description) but they ALSO charge you $35 fee pp for riding ATVs or give you the option to do a $500 temporary hold on a Credit Card in case of any damages to the vehicle.”

“The ATV activity is not safe at all.2 people in the group lost the tire of their ATV. One falls down. And me I almost fall down.the route holes are filled by stone. It was inconsolable.On top of that I did not like that In the description that we pay for scarves and cadenas. it was not included. For the amount we paid Cardenas should be included or at lease prevent the tourist. I chose a guide in French but he does speak French.on top of that the guide forces us to give them tips and reviews.I did not like it”
