- marcj73900Great Ride in EnsenadaHad a great day and great experience riding on my cruise vacation. If you have ridden before, or think you may want to try horseback riding this is the establishment to support; their customer service is better than great and they work hard to ensure you have a great experience.
- LeeNORTHsea00MsAwesome time!! Villa has exceptional horses that are easy to ride no matter your age or experience. Our guide was fun and her knowledge of the estuary was interesting. The ride through the estuary was beautiful. Riding on the beach is a definite must!! This riding experience is now a fantastic memory. Highly recommend this adventure!!!!! Lee Seattle
- Ryan O00Amazing Multi-Terrain Valley and Beach Horse Tour!!Katie and her team are extremely professional, experienced, and know how to create space for a good time! They picked the perfect horses for us to have an amazing 2 hour journey through the valley, crossing the river, and riding on the beach on our horses. We absolutely loved the experience. They provided horses perfectly suited to each of our experience levels and it was amazing to gallop down the coast on my chosen stallion! I absolutely got everything I was looking for with this horse tour and it was very appropriately priced. There is something very spiritual, peaceful, fun and majestic about horse-riding through the hillsides down in the valley with all the natural plant and animal life, while connecting with your horse. I loved this trip and will definitley be back again! Our entire group loved it too! What a hoot!
- 1695daddio00Thank you for getting me back in the saddle!I can't say enough good things about my experience with this family friendly operation. I rode horses for years but when I suffered a back injury that left me with chronic back pain, I didn't think I'd ever be able to enjoy riding again. I expressed my concerns to my friend who was putting together our reunion and she said not to worry, they had a horse that would be perfect for me. He was!! My friends and I were all matched with horses to suit all our needs and it was so wonderful to be in the saddle again! My horse had the smoothest trot and and the sweetest disposition. All I had to do was sit and relax! The highlight of the day was riding on the beach which was a first for me. It was a very positive experience in every way and I would highly recommend anyone traveling through this area to book a ride. From beginners to seasoned horseman, they have safe horses for everyone!
- sonjarwingfield00A Great Ride, Experience, Learning OpportunityI scheduled a ride for our preteen that wanted to ride a horse. She got that and more. We both learned some of the history in the area, rode the beach, as well as, trails. She not only got to ride, but was shown seat, feet position and was safe. It was as more than a ride.., it was a memorable experience and a definite redo 🤠
- spavards00Such an AMAZING Ride!This was an amazing two hour escape into an estuary full of life, walking through some slow moving water then on to the beach. The horses are a cut above what you’d normally find yet were calm. The guides know their stuff and watched out for my husband who has little experience, yet allowed me to canter along the ocean’s edge with the second guide. The “group” was only us and sent us action photos as a gift.
- Bobbie D00Best horseback riding experience!!Regardless of what your skill level is, you can have such a wonderful time. True traditional horseback riding on amazing horses... you can ride the back country, the beach or both!! This is a MUST when you visit baja- the experience is awesome and you’ll always have great memories ❤️🐴❤️ Book a ride!!

Thank you so much for your kind words. You ladies were the breath of fresh air! We loved riding with you and each of your horses did too! We could see their body language, the ears, their lively step, and felt that mysterious invisible magic when humans make that lovely connection with their riders. It makes us fall in love with life all over again. Please come and see us again! ❤️🤠❤️💯🙏

Omg this was by far my favorite horseback riding experience! Definitely a check mark off the bucket list. Katy was an amazing tour guide! Part of our scheduled group was late so Katy, Leo, and another friend took us out to start our tour. Villa and his friend stayed behind for the rest of the group. It was so nice to have our own little private tour. Our horses were gorgeous and so sweet. The trail was absolutely stunning and the beach views were even better. I will definitely come back, and hopefully during sunset next time. :) Katy not only taught us about the area and the culture, but she took a lot of great photos for us to enjoy this amazing memory. I still can’t stop thinking about this. 10/10 recommend. 🥰🥹

We try to travel to Valle a few times a year because the area is a very special place that tends to my heart. This time we took a trip with friends that are family - 4 adults, one teen and one 8yo. We wanted to go horseback riding and my BFF chose this local family business in La Misión vs. An option in Valle. Not only was the experience of riding on the estuary and the beach beyond beautiful but having the guidance, support, teaching and overall attention/caring of Villa and Katy was truly something my heart and mind will always remember. You can feel/see how much love, respect and care are given to the horses - its a true labor of love and a relationship with their horses.
We took a 2 hour tour from the main road in La Misión, through a pristine estuary healthy with plant and wildlife to the local beach. The tour was so deeply enjoyable - not just because of the the setting and horses - but Villa and Katy were excellent guides and human beings.
I can't wait to come again, and they will be the only tour we will take because the whole experience really truly filled my soul. Thank you so much for creating memories that will stay with us for a lifetime!!!

We loved this horseback riding experience. Riding through the estuary (and crossing a river) was a highlight, almost more so than the beach. You get the best of both worlds with this tour. Villa, the owner, is excellent with his horses, and made sure my 5-year-old was safe. Katy, an ex-pat, who communicated with us, and took great pictures on the ride was wonderful as well. The horses were about 10-12 years old and great to ride. We trotted a bit, which was super fun. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough!

Thank you so much, Deborah! We so enjoyed having you and your family! It was especially fun to see how well your 5 year-old did. He’s all cowboy! Hope to see you again soon!

The horseback riding experience was an experience I'd never forget. The people were super nice and the horses are a very smooth ride. Enjoy the amazing scenery as you ride through trails and the beach. The horses are easy to control and will really make your experience the best you can Imagine. I would go again.

Just an hour from the border — in a town called La Misíon in Baja California, you can find heaven on earth and enjoy one of your best days of your life.
With over 40 years of experience, Villa raises his horses with care, love and expertise. A beginning rider will have no problem enjoying the beautiful two-hour ride through the estuary and beach on these beautiful horses.
I started riding with Villa last year at age 71 and the experience has never diminished. It’s a very special gift to enjoy at such an affordable rate.

Thank you Jan! You definitely connect with the horses, and they love having you just as we do. We are so proud of our paradise, and love sharing it by gentle horseback. Mountain, estuary and beach all in one place. We hope to see you again soon!

I don’t think a horse back ride for a beginner and someone who hasn’t ridden in 20 years could get any better than this ride with Katy and Via through the lovely estuary teaming with local wildlife and the gorgeous beaches of La Mision. As guides and instructors they taught us more than just riding, but many interesting facts about the wildlife and plants too. My Freind was a little frightened at first to try this ride but also excited and Via was with her all the way encouraging and assisting her. We both made heart felt connections with the horses as well as Katy and Via, which made the experience all the better. This short journey will stay in our minds and hearts for long after the ride was over. Thank you again Katy and Via for being the caring, loving people that you are! ❤️🤠❤️

Thank you so much for your kind words. We enjoyed having you and so did the horses. It was so clear you made connections with them. We love sharing our little slice of heaven and hope you can return some day for more history and nature by horseback!
