4 Cartagena Horseback Riding Tours Worth the Early Start

1.Horseback Riding on the Beach at Sunset

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 203 reviews · from $50Our pick

Review of Cartagena’s beach horseback ride at sunset, with calm horses, local guides, La Boquilla views, transport tips, and honest value advice.

“This tour was amazing! Lead by Jose and others, we were informed about the true life outside of Cartagena. Jose was extremely helpful, funny, and kind. He offered amazing service along with his team who helped us immediately if any issues arose. Please remember to bring pesos (not card) for tip. The area of meeting is on the beach, La Perla Negra, so be aware to follow the instructions Jose gives to tell drivers! I recommend having transportation scheduled before the end of the tour, considering some drivers don’t want to drive directly on the beach. Overall, it was an extreme joy and I would book again!Read more”

“Our experience was peaceful and quiet. The caretaker walked alongside or behind us to ensure everything was okay, especially in case the horses acted up. The service was excellent—professional and well-organized. Our driver was also great, waiting for us and picking us up from the exact spot where he dropped us off. One of the horses had an albino-like appearance, which might not align with conventional beauty standards. If that matters to you, it’s something to consider—but for us, it didn’t. We simply enjoyed the horse riding experience along the beach. Another highlight was the path itself, which was about 95% empty. We didn’t have to worry about navigating through…”

Ride well-cared-for horses along a quiet beach near Cartagena with private pickup, patient guides, drinks, photos, and sunset options.

“There wasn't any communication with the tour operator until the day of the tour at which I was told that it was sold out despite booking 14 days in advance. There is not a way to select available times at booking. Disappointing because it was my last day in Cartagena and celebrating a birthday”
