Horseback Riding near Cancun
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Cancun, Mexico
My Review: Viator's online information was inadequate. It did not indicate that this was a totally walking ride, no galloping or even any trotting at all. My girlfriend and I both used to own horses, so this was totally boring! Moreover, the ranch operators grouped beginners, intermediate and advanced riders together into a huge unwieldy group of over 50 riders. As a result, it took until 10:00am to get everyone saddled up to even start the ride.
In addition, Viator's online information did not specify that we should bring swim suits along so that we can swim with our horses in the ocean. The rest of the group booked through a hotel and were apparently properly briefed in this regard. So we sat by in our long pants normal riding attire while everyone else swam with their horses. It was a very disappointing experience at any price - a total ripoff!!
Note from Viator: We apologize for your disappointment regarding this tour. This horseback riding is a guided tour, where experts, intermediates and beginners ride all together. When the tours begins, the tour coordinators ask clients about their ridding skills to accommodate experts on the front, intermediates on the middle and beginners on the back, but they ride together as group. The goal of this activity is to enjoy the jungle and the beach scenery.
Additionally, as our product detail page states participants wanting to swim will have to wear their swim suits under their clothes, as there is no place to change.
