9 tours · €73–€159 per person · ★ 4.8
For horseback riding in Puerto Vallarta, we read every listing, checked what each option covers and kept 9 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €73 per person for a guided horseback ride to €159 per ATV for a bridge and zipline combo with a mule ride. A Sierra Madre horseback ride with lunch and an open bar covers your meal and drinks as well as time on horseback.
Check the option before you book: the ATV and zipline combo uses mules rather than horses; the ocean expedition does not fit cruise ship schedules; the mountain ride with tequila tasting includes crossing a high bridge on foot, so tell staff at check in if heights worry you.
