Great break from the beach - I took this tour with my 12 year old niece, and we had a great time. The guides gave us a brief introduction to riding, and the horses we rode all had great temperaments for novice riders. Hacienda Campo Rico was a great backdrop for the ride.

Loved every minute of it. - My 12 yr old son and I throroughly enjoyed this experience! Angel and another young lady were our guides and did an exceptional job throughout the whole experience. The horses were all so well behaved and the scenery was beautiful! They also have a bar set up where I can enjoy food/drinks after the experience. Our driver was at our lobby waiting for us at 7:35 am sharp and the mini van had excellent AC. My son and I plan on doing this again on our next trip to PR. we also saw many animals while exploring on horseback. It was truly amazing.

Great horseback riding excursión - Guide were great (Marjorie and Angel), and the horses were very well behaved and easy to manage. The views were beautiful. Some paths were muddy but not unmanageable. We definitely got some mud splashes, so be prepared for that.
Tips if you're going: wear long pants, make sure you have sneakers or boots (closed toe), and know that they will weigh you to assign the right horse. Wear sunblock and sunglasses but don't bother with a hat cuz you'll have a helmet.

The SCALE IS OFF SO YOU NEED BEWARE!!! ADD ABOUT 10LBS TO YOUR “ACTUAL” WEIGHT - I’m 6’5 and weigh 230lbs and the limit is 240lbs to ride. They weighed me and said I weighed 248lbs, so I was unable to ride. They use an old manual scale that sits outside in the elements on top uneven concrete. Everyone in our group said the scale was off by 10-15lbs. They all made the weight still because they were smaller anyway so it didn’t matter. My group is prior military so we all didn’t ride, we leave no one behind. Just know If your pushing 230-240lbs you may not make it. The girl that weighed us was absolutely rude. She said she weighed 160lbs and got on the scale and it showed she even weighed more, so much for that “fact” check.

Do ANYTHING ELSE besides this - Don't do it. There were two weights listed in the description which has mysteriously disappeared since I had the audacity to request a refund. Those are ponies not horses…. I am 5’7 and I was taller than every “horse” there. Per our guide, “the horses that hold the heavier weight limit are reserved for the cruise ships.” I am someone that reads carefully and I don’t like to waste my money. If you think you are anywhere CLOSE to that weight limit (within 10 lbs) DONT book this. They weigh you with a helmet, water bottle, purse or bag…anything the pony carries.
When I went to the operator about the discrepancy they said contact Viator. Viator says they will talk to the operator. Customer service is a disservice. Don’t bother they don’t care after they have your money.

Don’t waste your time or money - Not worth the time. Was listed as a 3 hr ride we got picked up at 8am waited an hr at a food/ bar that wasn’t open until our trail guid came to get us after 9am. Went to the horse barn did weigh ins then went through the safety rules and such. Got on our assigned horses which were extremely old hip bones and spine showing something that should be retired in a field. We walked around some fields and some water clearly this is someone’s back 40 property that we just did circles around didn’t see the scenic country side! Shared the trail with atvs! We were on horseback 1 hr. Back at my condo by 11:30 not worth the 155$ at all. The transportation service was the best part of this trip they were beyond friendly
