igraf Posted February 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) I would appreciate any tips regarding horseback riding excursions while in port at Cabo San Lucas. We will be on a Holland America ship which offers a "Beach Horseback Riding" excursion about a half hour drive up the Pacific coast. I am concerned because the Princess version appears to be identical and their video shows riders in single file and wearing helmets. One review substantiated what I saw in the video. I am a very experienced horse rider and want a little more freedom. At least riding side by side with my wife away from the dust of the others, or preferably a private ride. And wearing my own hat. Any suggestions? Thanks, igraf Edited February 17, 2014 by igraf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igraf Posted February 20, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Thanks. Maybe I'll just call the ranch. I did find out who they are and found the ranch and the riding path on Google maps. Doesn't anyone go on the horsey rides? :-) igraf Seeing as you aren't getting any help from us, have you tried TripAdvisor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igraf Posted February 21, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Not much in the way of chatter on this board! Anyhow, I'll post what I found out. I also posted this on the HAL board. The horseback riding ranch used by HAL (and probably other cruise lines) near Cabo San Lucas is "Carisuva" located next to the El Migrino dry wash. Unfortunately, a person from the ranch did confirm that the ride is a single file slow walk for the most part with mandatory helmets. It is also during the hottest part of the day due to HAL's port schedule. I'll pass on this one. Probably best to book an independent horseback ride to avoid these unreasonable liability restrictions. igraf Thanks. Maybe I'll just call the ranch.
