When you’re on a romantic couple’s vacation, or your honeymoon, you’ll be on the lookout for fun and romantic things to do together. Horseback riding, especially at sunset on the beach, is one of those vacation activities that is truly iconic! When you stay in Puerto Vallarta you’ll have access not only to the opportunities, but also have the scenery to match it!

Riding Horseback in Puerto Vallarta

There are two very different types of horseback riding tours that you can take when you’re staying in Puerto Vallarta; a beach trek and a jungle or mountain hike.

Sunset Horseback Riding

If you’re looking for the iconic sunset or sunrise canter through the surf then the beach treks are definitely for you. These are the shorter of the two types of excursion and the terrain is much smoother so you can be sure that you won’t come away from your trek saddle sore. These tours are also much closer to the tourist zones so they’re more convenient, too. On these tours you’ll be encouraged to take in the beauty and majesty of the surrounding area.

The serene atmosphere and idyllic ambience of a sunset or sunrise trek is guaranteed to give your vacation or honeymoon the romantic and passionate feel that you were hoping for. This activity is sure to have you both trotting along at the same rhythm long after it’s over.

Mountain Treks by Horseback

If you’re more used to being on horseback, or if you’re curious about the landscape surrounding the city of Puerto Vallarta, then you should hop onto TripAdvisor and look into longer jungle and mountain hikes. These treks are the perfect way to see the less touristy areas that surround the city itself. There are no shortage of companies that offer tours of these parts of the country, and the guides that they hire will generally be able to tell you about the local flora and fauna, or give you some interesting insights into the smaller towns in the area.

Whether you’re trotting along the waterfront or weaving in and out of the lush forests you’re sure to have the romantic and idyllic day that you’ve always wanted.
