Ride a historic Tucson ranch trail, admire the Santa Catalina Mountains, and spot saguaro cacti on a guided horseback outing.

About this tour

Trade the city streets for quiet ranch trails on a Tucson horseback riding tour with views of the Santa Catalina Mountains. This ride explores a historic ranch homesteaded in the 1800s, with the landscapes of Catalina State Park and Coronado National Forest nearby.

Meet at the ranch, check in with your guide, and saddle up for a ride along equestrian trails. Watch for towering saguaro cacti and local flora and fauna as mountain views open around you. You can explore the ranch at your own pace before returning to the equestrian center. The experience lasts about one hour and includes a guide and free parking; transportation, food, and drinks are not included.

Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes, and bring a reusable water bottle. The 243-pound weight limit is strictly enforced to protect riders and horses, and children under 6 cannot participate. Book your Tucson horseback riding tour for a peaceful way to take in the ranch and its desert scenery.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.81 from 118 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Tucson
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.7. Top 9% in Tucson means it ranks in the top 9% of tours in Tucson by this score.
