What To Expect
Guests will embark on a beautiful 90 minute ride through Coronado National Forest and Catalina State Park with amazing view of Santa Catalina Mountains. We take the time to personally estimate your abilities and then match you to a horse for your height and weight to make the trip as safe and comfortable as possible. There is a 240lb weight limit for your safety and the health of our horses. Although it takes a lot of time this process ensures that you are as safe as possible as this is our primary concern. So, please be patient with this individual instruction and loading. Once we are all safely riding horses we will follow beautiful trails with amazing views of the Saguaro Cactus and the Santa Catalina Mountains. Let's take some time by pausing to take some scenic family pictures and enjoy the vista. We have many amazing trails so the rides are always interesting with different trails.

5.00My husband and I booked this excursion in October 2025. We enjoyed It so much we knew we needed to take our daughter and grandson when they visited. We all loved it! Of course my 13 yo grandson was nervous at the very beginning but was comfortable after 5 minutes on the trail.

5.00Overall, this was a pleasant experience. I just wish I had brought my bandana to cover my face when the dust was blowing at me, which happened often. Ari, our guide was friendly and helpful. She texted early that morning before our ride. We didn't start our 9:00 ride until after 9:20. It was about a 90-minute ride. We were VERY happy to do the first ride with our heat. I had written the tour director twice. It took a few days to receive a response to my first message, and I never did receive a response to my second question. I wish the turn off rode had a sign on Oracle Road. It would have been a bit more helpful.
Catalina State Park Horseback Riding Rip Off Tour

1.00Terrible experience! Started with the fact nobody informed us riders over 240lbs couldn't ride until we arrived at the tour. As a result, two of us couldn't go on the tour despite paying for the tour in full 2.5 weeks prior. Why wasn't this question asked upon booking the tour and paying the $110 per rider for a total of $440. Only two of the riders were able to attend this morning's tour.
