Horseback Riding in Sayulita: Jungle & Beach

You can only reach Sayulita's best beach on horseback or by hiking.

Private jungle horseback adventure in Sayulita where you ride through dense forest, cross streams, and emerge onto a remote beach only accessible on foot or by horse. The two-hour ride passes through the heart of the jungle with photo stops, ending with free time on the sand where you can watch the sunset from horseback or on the beach.

The experience

You have a free afternoon in Sayulita and want to get beyond the town itself. This ride takes you into the jungle that surrounds the bay, following trails that wind through dense forest and cross shallow streams. The guide leads you through the landscape at a pace that lets you take in the views and stop for photographs. Once you reach the coast, the trail opens onto a beach that has no road access. The only way there is on foot or horseback.

The beach is one of Sayulita's best, and you'll have free time to walk along the sand, let your horse wade in the water, or simply sit and watch the light change as the sun drops toward the horizon. The whole outing runs about two hours. Horse equipment is provided, and your guide speaks English or Spanish, so you can follow the commentary and ask questions as you ride.
