Top Sinaloa Horseback Riding

Pickup was convenient, good transportation, beach was nice, good facilities and food, return was timely. Really liked the horses and banana boat. Recommend this tour.

Great value. Hosts were very nice and made the stay great. Horseback riding was fun and banana boat was great! Water was wonderful. Food and drinks were also great. Highly recommend. We were on a cruise and this company knew our schedule and got us back with perfect time.

Cool Destinations made my travel experience so much better. The tour was easy to book Cool Destinations was aware of my time concerns about ship disembarking and embarking. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and felt very safe.

We had such a fantastic time on this excursion! From start to finish, everything was so well organized and enjoyable. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the day feel personal and fun — sharing local history, hidden gems, and great recommendations along the way. The scenery was beautiful, and we got the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and authentic culture.

i highly recommend this experience to everyone visiting mazatlán! we only had a few hours here and this was incredible! they took us to a very nice beach and gave us complimentary drinks (water, gatorade, beer, or tequila) on the boat ride to the island. we were able to pick two of the four activities to do and we picked the banana boat and horse back riding, both were awesome! i do wish they had someone to take pictures during horse back riding but our guide did snap a few pictures afterwards. the banana boat was so fun! i recommend wearing cheap sunglasses while on the ride though because water will be splashing the whole ride. we were also providing a meal (our choice of fish, burrito, quesadilla, breaded chicken, or combo plate) - meal was nothing special. we had lots of time to tan and vendors were always walking around selling mangos, jewelry, hats, and other trinketsgreat experience and highly recommend!

Again this listing had so many bad reviews and I feel people expect luxury. But despite the reviews this excursion was ac very good it was fun relaxing and yes the food choice was limited and so was the drinks included but really it was more then enough to have fun . The drinks were strong and the food had flavor. All the staff was nice and attentive. The drivers were on time and when our ship time changed they informed us that they adjusted ours times to make sure we got back with more then enough time to spare ! Honestly it was. Great experience and I would recommend it if you want a chill relaxing beach day . I will note that I did not do any of the activities they offered but in exchange for that, I got a coconut with booze in it and that was pretty great for me.

Our guide Richard was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Mazatlan and about specific spots around town. He gave us tips for great places to go during our time walking around and knew the staff at each spot well. We were able to experience mass inside the beautiful Cathedral and stop in at the nearby local bakery. The locals were very friendly, most knew enough English for us to communicate well. The ride to the pier was enjoyable, the staff on ferry made it a lot of fun. Our lunch and beach time was open to us to tailor. Perfect for our group of 8 of varying ages- adults, teens and kids.

The small tour to begin the day was very nice. We went to a large cathedral where we had about 25 minutes to look around. Then moved on to the cliff divers, which was great. We then took a boat ride and a short ride over to the beach. The beach was very clean, the banana boat rides were just the right amount of speed and safety, my kids loved the boogie boards, and my husband enjoyed the horseback riding. The staff were all very attentive to make sure we all had a great day. My one disappointment was that the listing did not state that the horseback riding was for adults only. My 10 year old daughter was really looking forward to the horseback riding. Other than that it was a wonderful day.

The horseback ride was not even worth it. Half a block on a back street on the Island was a joke. Too bad. Food was average.

This was an excellent value for an excursion. They picked us up at the cruise terminal at 9, took us to a small boat which ferried us to Stone Island and then an open air transport to the beach. You end up at a beach club on a fabulous beach. It was raining the day we went but we still had a good time. The water is very warm and placid, so great for families. We were very well cared for. The food was good as well as the drinks. Some of us did the extended horseback ride which was enjoyable although you should have longer pants and not flipflops to enjoy it thoroughly. We felt it was a very good value and had the weather been sunny pretty much a perfect day. And they were very mindful of returning us in good time to the ship

Had a fun day at Stone Island. Troublefree RT transport on van boat. English speaking driver and guide. Very enjoyable.

I booked this excursion for a group of ten, ranging in age from 13 to 78, and everyone had a great time. There was truly something for everyone. The hosts were fantastic and very attentive from start to finish—during the van ride, the catamaran trip, and our time at the beach.Ricardo, who was in charge at the port, made sure our entire group was well taken care of as we arrived and departed. Poncho was our main guide for the afternoon. He walked us through how the beach club worked, gave tips on what to expect, and pointed out things to watch for. He was friendly, helpful, and made sure the younger ones got their food and fun while the rest of us were comfortable and cared for. Luis, our waiter at the beach club, was outstanding—constantly checking in to ensure everyone had what they needed.Keep in mind, this is a small port town and not as developed as places like Puerto Vallarta. While it’s marketed as an all-in-one tour, it’s actually a coordinated effort by several small local operators. So be prepared to tip multiple people along the way—bring plenty of small bills! In addition to Ricardo, Poncho, and Luis, we tipped the van drivers, the jitney drivers on Stone Island, and gave small tips to the horse ride and banana boat staff. It’s clear this is a less affluent area, and the locals are working hard to provide a good experience.The included food and drinks were good but simple, as expected for the price. The combo plate and burritos got good reviews from our group. You can also order additional items off the menu (credit cards accepted)—the guacamole with chips and beef nachos were especially popular. There was also a fresh oyster cart, though we didn’t try it.Drinks featured standard rail liquor. The Mai Tai was a hit, while most other drinks were just okay. Pacifico beer was available and a safe choice. One important note: bring water from the ship. Water is only provided during transportation from the port—not at the beach—which wasn’t clearly communicated.As for activities, the teens loved using the boogie boards all day and took a few banana boat rides using some of the older folks' tickets. The horse rides were short and more of a photo op—fun to see unexpected riders in action. It’s a brief walk through the neighborhood and back. The carriage ride was longer and a great option for our less mobile group members.Overall, everyone left happy, tired, and full of great memories. Highly recommended for a laid-back, well-rounded day that supports hardworking local businesses.

Our driver, Rickie, stayed with us the whole time and ensured we were taken care of. It was a lovely day and I would totally would book again.

We actually booked the wrong day and they went out of their way to figure it out and make our trip a fantastic experience
