Exactly as described on their website. We did a two-hour ride and it was lovely -- a great mix of forest riding, mountain views, and a quick hit of the beach. We didn't have a reservation, but they fit us in anyway when a couple didn't show. Completely reasonable prices and an overall great operation. Our guides were knowledgeable and... more

We did a two hour trail ride through some big trees, along the Big Sur river, and on to the beach. It was a very nice group and very scenic. Guides were knowledgable and very nice. Strictly a trail ride, no cantering allowed but all in all a very scenic trip for a reasonable price. Recommended. more

We had a wonderful scenic ride. It was fun for all of us. It was the first ride for my husband and 17 year old step daughter, and they loved it. We will definitely come back again to check out the sunset tour in the summer. The employees were pleasant and the tour guide was awesome. more

The Molera Horseback riding tour was the absolute best and definitely the most enjoyable horsebackriding experience I have ever had! Even though my family did not have a scheduled appointment , they fit us right into our own private ride and we only had to wait for about half an hour. All of the staff were exceptionally kind to us... more

I was surprised to see that someone had such a bad experience with Molera Horseback Tours. I for one have never had such an experience from this outfit! Every single ride that I have been on has been nothing but enjoyable! I found the staff knowledgeable about the history of the area, animals and vegetation. I've been placed with experienced... more

We generally find a way to do some horseback riding on our trips, and Big Sur was no exception. The Molera Horseback Tour was a bad choice. First, the tour does not cover the bluffs and the beach-- this is what Big Sur is all about. We walked the horses down a scant 100 yards of beach, turned around, and... more

This was the worst horseriding experience I have ever had from a professional outfit!! No only is the "beach ride" a dusty trail ride with 2 minutes on the beach, but the horses they have are very skitish and tempermental, not good for inexperienced riders! My horse and another horse got into a kicking match with each other and I... more

Stay away from Molera Horseback Riding Tours. My family of five wanted to go horse back riding during our recent trip to Big Sur, and we found ourselves at Molera Tours. This was an expensive and unpleasant way to spend an afternoon. Our guide yelled the entire time, the horses were old and tired, and total amount of time spent... more
