Our camping riding excursions include all camping gear (tents, sleeping bags, folding chairs etc), +4 campfire meals (complete with ice cold beers for the adults and marshmallows and hotdogs for the kids), night-riding, a long evening bonfire, and clear skies, permitting, fantastic stargazing. Overnight Horseback Riding Excursions are approximately 30 hours from pick-up to drop-off.  My recommendation is to take an overnight or full day horseback riding excursion if it fits into your budget and itinerary as these are much more involved and interesting adventures for families. In fact many families that do half day trail riding excursions later return to do overnight horseback riding excursions, and others wish that they would have thought to do it in the first place. The overnight horseback riding excursion has a cost of $190usd per person and includes 4 meals. There is only one charge for the riding/overnight combo and the price is based on our four person minimum.

This horseback trail riding excursion gives us enough time to take a midnight ride all the way to a neighboring village, where you can stock up on some essentials, or pick up a good tequila to help keep the stories flowing around the campfire. For the more extreme riders, this horseback trail riding excursion also includes a section where you can gallop or even race full speed through the darkness! Of course that part is optional and not recommended for the faint of heart. If there is a full moon, then we can see our surroundings quite clearly. And if there is no moon, then our night ride is in almost total darkness. This makes for a very intense and somewhat eerie experience, where the challenge is that you must put all of your trust in both your horse and your guides.  It is actually very safe as horses have excellent night vision, and both the horses and your guides know by heart every twist and turn of the trails we ride on.
