For our annual trip to Mexico, we wanted to do something different. After searching ideas on TripAdvisor, we came across Rancho Baaxal. I have nothing but positive things to say about this experience, it is definitely something one should do, especially if they love horses! We booked our trip before leaving for Mexico and payed the deposit via paypal. The... More

I love horses and horseback riding but I never want to support places that overwork and undercare for their horses. I was intrigued by this ranch in that most of the horses are rescued and had read in other tripadvisor reports that they appear healthy, well-fed, and well-cared for. The cost was reasonable (60-70$ per person) for more than an... More

small group for a nice ride in the jungle and beach. Cannot get a more personalized ride anywhere, from beginner to expert!! More

This place is great. The guides are awesome, the horses are very well trained and they are all rescue horses. If someone sends you an email with directions for taxi, print it. I made the mistake of thinking someone would know the location. We got lucky with a cell phone and mother in states after we went to some guys... More

A few months ago, I decided that I would propose to my girlfriend on a Caribbean getaway trip. We narrowed it down to Riviera Maya in Mexico at the end of Jaunary. As I was looking for things to do and agonizing over how I would propose, I stumbled onto Rancho Baaxal through Tripadvisor. My girlfriend has never been on... More

2 hour horse back ride through the lush forest to the beach and on the beach. Horses were all well fed and cared for. Theses horses all had wonderful personalities and were well behaved, experienced and not half dead as you typically see at resort riding rentals. We had an opportunity to canter on the beach a couple of times,... More

We've read about many other riding stables and from everything we read, Rancho Baaxal took the best care of their horses. After going there....they do. All of the horses are rescues, and I belive it's a non-profit organization. They really do it for the love of the horses. The trail ride itself was incredible. It was just our family of... More

Wow! This was our first time doing horseback riding while vacationing - usually we don't support tourist riding tours because most places don't seem to give a damn about the animals. We found Rancho Baaxal and got the impression from their website, TripAdvisor and the contact to Steffi that they're doing things right. And indeed they do! All the horses... More

Since our return from Mexico, we have been reminiscing of the nice ride we had at Ranch Baaxal. The genuine hospitality, concern for our well being and kindness to the horses made this a great find. More
