We took our 3 young boys on a 1.5 hr ride through the jungle out to the beach. They loved it! One of our 5 yr olds was able to ride in the saddle with me (smaller adult) while our other 5 yr old rode his very own smaller horse tethered to the guide, and our 9 yr old got his own horse. The horses were gentle and well mannered and easy to ride. Kids get helmets. It was a fun experience and we would definitely recommend. Very nice group. we also loved that it was just our family, so it felt personal and more like a private tour. Thank you playa ponies for a memorable experience.

This shops fat tire bikes with hand breaks and gear shifts are a thousand times better that the one gear only bike backward for breaking “beach bikes” that our hotel offered for the same price. And The Frog Pad is at least $7 cheaper for the same bikes that are rented across the street from them. The fat tire bikes were perfect on uneven trails, roads, and taking them on the beach!
