Cabo San Lucas Horseback Beach Ride

Cactus Tours was an incredible experience. My nephew and I rode horses, and the guides were outstanding. Luis took great care of us from the moment we got off the Royal Princess all the way through the end of the tour. Cesar and Antura were our horseback riding guides, they were fantastic. Everything was well organized, the instructions were clear, and the entire experience went smoothly. We also spent time at the beach and had the chance to connect with others in our group while having a drink.

This was amazing day trip and Cesar was so amazing and checking if we were doing ok and helping me up on the camel

Very nice experience, horses were well taken care of and easy to ride. 45 min ride and Bruno did a great job.

Emanuel was our guide. He was nice, very friendly and patient with me and my bad Spanish. My friends and I had a wonderful time on the horses. I highly recommend this tour!

To preface this I will say my guide was very nice. However I booked a 2 hour “intermediate to advanced” horseback riding tour which stated it would be 2 hours long. On top of that, since you can’t take photos on your own camera or bring it, I opted to pay $150 extra for a private tour. Well, first off - I got there and they told me that even though I had riding experience (I’ve taken lessons, gone to plenty of ranches on vacation, not uncomfortable at all at a faster pace) I couldn’t do more than walking. This was the whole reason I booked the tour! If I knew I’d just be walking butt to butt with another horse I wouldn’t have even gone. Even on their website and photos at the place they show people galloping or at least trotting. I’m not sure why the offer an “intermediate to advanced” ride if it doesn’t exist, apparently. Second off - bringing my phone. There is a professional camera person that drives around following you in an ATV taking your pictures. Which is fine! But I also paid $150 to be able to bring my own phone so I felt weird taking many photos since I was also planning on buying their package anyway too. The ride was only at most an hour long, not two hours, and most of the time my guide spent it smacking his horse in the butt because it didn’t want to move. So yeah. Once I finished the ride, I at least wanted to take a selfie with my horse (I was going to buy their photo package but I paid to have my phone too for $150!!) and my guide told me I “wasn’t allowed” to take any photos of me and my horse because “he would get fired”. It made absolutely no sense. Like I can’t even take ONE PHOTO? What did I even pay extra for? The whole experience left me pretty bummed and feeling ripped off. The experience wasn’t what I paid for, and I ended up paying around $200 for this “ride” and then paid $104 for my “photos” - it just seems super scammy to me. Had I known that this ride was going to be walking only behind a guide just hitting his horse with a rope for an hour straight and I CANT EVEN USE MY PHONE TO GET ONE PHOTO WITH MY HORSE AFTER. Not worth it. The whole experience was extremely frustrating.
