What a wonderful ride! The scenery was spectacular and we traversed some interesting terrain as we got closer to the huge land formations. Our horses were sweet and kind and took great care of us along with our guide, who was an excellent horseman.

Whilst we enjoyed our ride - we didn’t learn anything about the history of the land or Navajo people. There needs to be time planned between groups - so individuals riders / bookings get value for their booking ie full 2-hour ride.

I booked the tour for my myself, my dad, and my sister for my dad’s bucket list trip and it was flat-out amazing. What a wonderful experience! The tour guide was nice and knowledgeable and took our pictures for us. It was great!

This was a wonderful ride led, for us, by Ezekiel. The ride got close by the west mitten and along sentinel mesa, down in the wash and back up on sure footed horses (Mack and Kansas). You won’t regret this ride.

We recommend everyone who passes through Monument Valley to absolutely do this activity! It was just great in the morning with the sunrise, amazing trails with exceptional views and a very nice guide and who made us pictures worthy of a professional photographer. Nothing to say 10/10! Thank you.

We had a fabulous western adventure with our fantastic guide Marco. The two hour ride was just perfect, even for one non and one very novice riders. The horses were calm and confident and that kept us the same!
