Review of Sayulita horseback riding through jungle trails to a black-sand beach, with gentle horses, guides, tequila tasting, and sunset options.
“We had an excellent experience today on our horseback ride through the jungle and on the beach. Our guide, Jovani, was amazing. We had riders of all ages and experience levels- including a toddler who rode along with mom. The crew was very welcoming and accommodating, and we really enjoyed our excursion! Would highly recommend to anyone!”

Ride gentle horses through Higuera Blanca, jungle, and Litibú Beach, then enjoy tequila tasting at a lively Mexican ranch.
“The horseback riding experience was amazing!! Ricardo was our guide and made us feel welcomed and safe. He worked well with the horses, shared stories about the places we passed through. The small town was authentic and nature was beautiful. Some might say it’s a longer ride, but worth it to experience different sites of Nayarit that you might not see otherwise. This was only my second time riding but I felt completely comfortable. Transportation was easy. Tequila tasting with Nico was a blast and great way to finish the experience. Thank you to all the stuff at this rancho! Highly recommend!Read more”
Ride from Sayulita’s jungle to the beach with gentle horses, helpful guides, tequila tasting, pool access, and small groups.
“Amazing experience! My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of riding with Giovanni as our guide, and he truly made the tour unforgettable. The activity itself was fantastic, but Giovanni took it to another level. We couldn't have asked for a better guide—he was knowledgeable about the history of Mexico, incredibly polite, and had a great sense of humor. Truly an exceptional employee! Our photographer also followed us throughout the tour and captured stunning photos that we’ll cherish. Thank you, Giovanni and Mi Chula Tours, for such a memorable experience!”
Pick the kind of day first, then pick the coast.
