After reading Tripadvisor reviews and corresponding with Steffi, we decided this was a tour we’d like to do. We liked the whole philosophy of what she’s trying to do here. We decided on the morning tour, before it became too warm. So, on May 15, David picked us up at our hotel promptly at 8:45 a.m. We soon met with... More

My husband, Jeremy and I went on a 9:30 a.m. tour this week (May of 2013). All I can say is WONDERFUL! It has always been a dream of mine to ride horses on an exotic beach, however the commercialized rides were not for us. We had a tour with one other guest and two guides. When we approached the...

My husband and I were lucky enough to book a ride with Rancho Baaxal for our honeymoon! We arrived to a very friendly staff who were knowledgable about the horses and were more then happy to answer any questions we had about them.

My girlfriend wanted to ride horses, and after researching and reading all the great reviews and learning about how they operate, we decided to go to el rancho.
