Enjoy a great morning horseback ride through coconut plantations, mangrove trees and on Playa Larga Beach which is the longest beach of the Ixtapa Zihuatanejo area. As you ride your horse on the beach there will be a nice ocean breeze and the results of: vegetation, ocean waves, lagoon and mountain range will make the horseback ride beautiful and pleasant. The horses are friendly, well trained and very good for experienced riders and also for beginners, you will have the chance to go at your own pace and while riding on the beach you can even make the horse go at a faster pace. You will ride on the horse for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, and will have the opportunity to take pictures with your own camera and the tour guide will also offer to take pictures of you with your camera. At the end of the ride we will provide you with a good cold beer or a bottle of water.

5Beautiful Beach
Great communication. We had no issues with the pick up and drop off at Hotel. Our driver and guide were fun and courteous. There was only myself and my wife and we felt like we got first class treatment. I would highly recommend this experience. We went in the morning and had no issues with the heat. Our guide was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. Riding on the majestic beach was a highlight of our trip
5Large Group with 5 kids!
We had a great time! We were a large group with 5 young kids and they all did awesome! The horses were very well trained and super calm. Our guide was fun and had full control over the horses and our group. We will definitely be back!
5Playa Larga Beach Horseback Riding
Guillermo took us from Zihua to Playa Larga and met with Pablo and the horses. We rode through the small village to the sandy beach. Beautiful, slow, tranquil ride with our puppy companion.
5Horseback on the beach, like it should be.
Great day, rustic experience with Randy and our pony’s. It was a great day, only suggestion is to wear jeans / pants when hot, that’s on us. The guide took us on a path through the coconut plantation and lagoon.
5A must do in Zihua!
Great experience with Pablo, Luis & Ramon. The horses were very sweet, gentle & well care for. The ride was perfect for a summer morning before it got too hot. Highly recommend.
5Mother/Daughter Horseback Riding
Had a great time. Luis picked us up then we met up w Ramon. Both were great. Learned about the area. The horses were very intelligent and knew exactly where to go. We were on the beach, then passed by a lagoon, then through a coconut plantation. Galloping was out of the question for me, so my girl didn’t get to do it either even though she wanted to. Would recommend. It’s beautiful here.

About Zihuatanejo
Zihuatanejo is a fishing town on a sheltered bay on Mexico's Pacific coast in Guerrero, with quiet beaches, a harbour promenade and Ixtapa nearby.
Zihuatanejo lies on a sheltered, horseshoe-shaped bay on Mexico's Pacific coast in the state of Guerrero, and it has kept more of the feel of a fishing town than its neighbour Ixtapa, a purpose-built resort a few kilometres to the north-west. Fishing boats pull up on the town beach in the morning, and the Paseo del Pescador, the waterfront promenade, is lined with cafés and small shops.
