I enjoyed the ride, the staff especially Fernando and Raoul, and the horse. I was able to relax and enjoy the scenery on the ranch, especially the beach side. The ranch has an organic farm, a cenote, and some other animals as well, including a white peacock and two friendly dogs. I would strongly recommend for an easy and relaxing... More

We recently visiting 5/16/12 with our 7 year old child...the entire staff was great and everyone catered to our daughter giving her memories that will last a life time. Fernando and Raul and the rest of staff definatley exceeding our expectations. We rode through "jungle" terrain as well as beach side. I would strongly reccommend anyone to visit this attraction....

My wife and I did this on our last day, and it was so much fun. They cater to every skill level. Got some great pictures from them too! It is all the way up north, so if you’re in a southern resort (like we were) plan for a 4 or 5 hour commitment, not just the 2 hours at... More

I was very impressed with how well kept and clean the ranch was the horse looked health and the staff was extremely nice and willing to accommodate. As a novice rider, I loved the long horse ride, although I could tell that the very experienced riders were annoyed with the fact that they could not speed around and fly down... More

We wanted mainly to ride on the beach...turns out that we only rode to the beach and turned the horses around...got off and walked around 10 to 20 minutes then back on horses to ranch. The ride was plenty long enough OVERALL but we would like to ride longer on the beach. Also there is a beautiful cenote at the... More

This was a lovel morning trip out from Cancun (about 30 minutes). My wife really took to horse riding though I was petrified. However the leader roped my horse to his and looked after me and by the time of the ride back from the beach I was starting to really enjoy it. More

I absolutely loved this trip and just wished I had done it on the first week of my holiday so I could have gone back a few times...I am a rider with a bit of experience and I went with my sister in law who has a little experience and had not been on a horse for years.... The horses... More

We stayed at the El Dorado Royale during the second week of our honeymoon (March 12, 2012) and had the time of our lives! We decided to venture off and do a few excursions during our time here and the horseback riding at Bonanza Ranch was one of them. While both my husband and I have never been on a... More
