3.Horse Riding Tour w/ Optional ATV & Zipline

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 73 reviews · 5 hours · from $124

Review of Rancho Capomo’s Puerto Vallarta horse ride, waterfall swim, Mexican lunch, plus optional ATV and zipline adventures.

“A great tour for the adventurous. Everyone is very patient, helpful and welcoming. Horse ride is leisurely and good for all levels of riders. Zip lines are well worth it. Recommend atv for the experienced as there is not much instruction before riding into rivers/small roads with traffic. A fantastic experience all around and makes for a great, well-rounded excursion.”

The horses were very well-behaved and people of all different backgrounds were on them. From people who never ridden to people who have horses at home. :) I loved the tour and the tequila tasting was an absolute blast!”

5.Fun Horseback Tour in Mismaloya

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 36 reviews · 3 hours (approx.)

Ride through Mismaloya’s jungle trails to El Eden, with creek crossings, mountain views, a swim stop, and gentle horses for beginners.

“This was a very unique experience and I'm so glad my daughter (12) and I did it. The family that runs this is extremely kind and patient -- you don't need any horseback riding experience for this either, the horses know exactly what they're doing and where they're going. We were in a situation where we were going to be late for the tour because of a protest happening on the road between Mismaloya and PV (the only road) and I messaged the family through the Viator app and he called me on my cell phone and told me that they would wait for us and to not worry about…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 28 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $147

Review of Puerto Vallarta's Rancho Capomo horseback ride and zipline, with mountain views, Mexican lunch, drinks, transfers, costs, and practical tips.

“This was a nice adventure from PVR. Found this tour after narrowing down to horseback riding and zip-lining. Shuttle service was convenient (driver Sergio had lots of jokes to share), and the 1.5mile horse-trek up to the waterfall was very beautiful in the morning light. Very authentic experience. Ziplining was up on exposed mountain (hot and dry, not a lot of shade), but got to gallup the two of us on horses up to the beginning of the zip-lines. The fajita lunch was delicious. This tour felt less corporate business than other big zip-lining (PV ADVENTURES) place. Some nice views. Good to get away from the downtown area, get into…”

“From pick up to drop off was amazing. Everyone we met at the ranch were very nice and welcoming. Lunch was delicious. We chose all 3 activities but after the horseback ride to the waterfall, I decided I couldn't do the hike up to the zip lines, we were offered longer on the ATVs. Amazing. Def recommend and will book again when we come back.”
