Rey Spearo – Enchanting And Romantic Custom Created Tours
The best part of this Jalisco outing is the gentle pace: you ride through jungle scenery, stop near waterfalls and natural swimming areas, then settle into lunch, beach time, and a massage. Rey Spearo provides pickup, horses, equipment, and riding instruction, so you do not need to find a ranch or arrive with experience.
I like the careful one-hour first ride, especially for nervous beginners. I also like the private format, since your group can adjust the length and choose between different return options. The main consideration is that horseback riding can still feel tiring, even with a relaxed plan, so this is not ideal if you want a completely inactive beach day.
Key points to know before booking

- A true private outing: Only your group takes part, with room to adjust the pace and length.
- Built for first-time riders: You receive instruction, meet trained horses, and begin with a one-hour ride.
- Pickup and return included: Choose a convenient location and avoid driving or searching for the meeting point.
- Water and food are part of the day: Plan on waterfall scenery, natural swimming, lunch, beverages, beach time, and a massage.
- Bring a swimsuit and towel: Swimming is part of the plan, and a bag or backpack can be carried on the saddle.
- A strong satisfaction record: The tour has a 4.9 rating from 41 reviews, with 98 percent recommending it.
A private horseback day in Jalisco

This is less a fixed six-hour ride than a flexible day built around horseback riding. The stated duration is about six hours, but the length can be adjusted, which matters if you are new to horses or want more time by the water.
Rey handles the outing personally, from pickup to instruction and the return trip. That personal setup gives you a direct point of contact throughout the day. Since only your group participates, you are not locked into the pace of a large tour or asked to keep up with strangers.
The experience begins at 9:00 a.m. Pickup is offered from chosen locations, and the tour is also near public transportation. The practical benefit is simple: you can start the day without driving, navigating unfamiliar roads, or trying to locate a ranch on your own.
An early arrival includes light snacks and drinks. The timing is meant to help you miss the crowds, though the exact pickup time and the amount of time spent at each stop can vary because the tour is flexible.

Meeting the horses and getting comfortable

The first stage is designed for all riding levels, including people who have never seen a real horse before. You receive an introduction to the trained horses, along with the equipment and instruction needed for the ride.
That beginner-friendly approach is one of the tour’s strongest points. I would still take the instruction seriously, even if you have ridden before. Good habits at the start make the ride more comfortable for you and easier for the horse.
A free riding-instruction e-book is available before the tour. Downloading it ahead of time gives you a chance to understand the basics before you arrive. It also helps reduce the nerves that often come with a first ride, especially if you are unsure how to sit, hold the reins, or communicate with the horse.
The plan calls for a one-hour initial ride. That limit is sensible. A first ride can be tiring, and an hour gives you time to get used to the horse without turning the opening part of the day into a test of endurance.
You can carry essential items in a bag or backpack placed on the saddle. Keep the load practical. A swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, and a few small personal items make more sense than a heavy daypack.
El Eden and the first ride

The first listed stop is El Eden. Here, the focus is on the ride through the jungle, vegetation, and the chance to take photographs. The setting gives the outing a more natural feel than a short horse ride confined to a basic riding area.
You should expect the horse ride to be the main activity, not a fast-paced trek. The point is to enjoy the surroundings and become comfortable in the saddle. This is useful for beginners, but experienced riders looking for several hours of continuous riding may find the structure too gentle.
The guide can help you settle into the experience and learn as you go. One particularly appealing feature is that the first hour is treated as an introduction rather than a race toward the next stop. You have room to pay attention to your position, the horse, and the path.
The jungle setting also creates good photo chances. Keep your camera or phone secure, since riding can make loose items awkward to handle. The saddle bag solves much of that problem, but you should still carry only what you truly need.
Edenva Parque Ecoturistico and natural water

The second stop is Edenva Parque Ecoturistico. The day includes waterfall scenery, vegetation, and natural waters where you can swim.
Bring a swimsuit and towel. Swimming is not an optional footnote here, it is one of the reasons this outing feels different from a standard horseback tour. The water stop gives you a chance to cool off and change the rhythm after the first ride.
The information provided does not specify the exact swimming conditions, water depth, or facilities at the natural swimming area. You should be prepared for a nature-based stop rather than a fully managed pool. Follow the guide’s directions and use care around wet rocks or uneven ground.
This portion may be especially appealing if you want more than a ride. You get a mix of jungle scenery, water, photographs, and time to relax. If swimming is not comfortable for you, the broader day still includes food, beach time, and shaded rest.

Why the one-hour return ride matters

After the water stop and the later meal, the plan includes a one-hour return ride. By then, you have already had time to adjust to the horse and improve your riding skills.
That order makes practical sense. Many first-time riders feel more confident after an initial hour, a break, and some food. The return ride can then feel less intimidating and more enjoyable.
Alternative return-trip options are available if the first ride proves too much. This is an important detail for beginners. You are not forced to complete a second full hour simply because it was part of the original plan.
The guide’s own description of the day suggests that people often ride better after the meal. That does not mean the return ride will feel effortless. It means you have had time to learn, rest, and decide what suits you.
If you already ride regularly, you may wish to ask in advance how much time can be spent on horseback. The day is adjustable, but the supplied details do not promise a long advanced ride or a particular riding route.
Lunch, beach time, and a massage

The post-ride portion turns this into a full day rather than a simple riding excursion. Lunch with beverages is included after the ride, followed by beach time and a massage.
I like this combination because it gives your body a chance to recover. Horseback riding uses muscles that may not get much attention in everyday life, even when the ride itself feels easy. A meal and a massage can make the day more comfortable than ending immediately after the return ride.
Beach time is intentionally unhurried. You can swim, read, or take a nap under a shaded umbrella. That makes the final part suitable for couples and small groups with different energy levels. One person can rest while another spends more time near the water.
The tour description does not identify the exact beach, lunch menu, beverage choices, or massage length. If any of those details are important to you, confirm them before booking. The practical value is still clear: transportation, riding, food, relaxation, and a massage are gathered into one private day instead of requiring separate arrangements.
Transportation and timing

Pickup and drop-off are offered at locations you choose. This is particularly useful if you are staying in an area where roads or ranch access are unfamiliar. At the end of the day, Rey can return you to your preferred location, leaving you free to make evening plans.
The listed duration is approximately six hours, but the length is described as flexible. Do not schedule an important activity immediately afterward unless you have allowed extra time. Flexible tours are pleasant because they do not feel rushed, but they can be harder to fit into a strict timetable.
The start time is 9:00 a.m. Early timing helps with the goal of avoiding crowds and gives you enough room for both riding sessions, the water stop, lunch, and the beach period.
The experience is offered in English. Confirmation is provided at booking. Most people can participate, and the tour is near public transportation, though pickup is also available.
The value of an all-inclusive private day

No price is provided in the information available here, so I cannot judge the exact cost against other tours. I can explain what you are paying for: private transportation, a guide, trained horses, equipment, instruction, snacks, drinks, lunch, beverages, water activities, beach time, a massage, and return transport.
That list gives the outing stronger value than a basic one-hour horseback ride, especially if you would otherwise need to arrange transportation, meals, and a separate massage. The private format also matters. You are paying for control over the pace, not simply for a seat on a scheduled group ride.
The value is less clear if your main goal is serious horseback training or a long ride. The initial and return rides are each planned for about an hour, with much of the day devoted to swimming, food, and relaxation.
I would compare the total price with the cost of booking a standard horse ride plus transport and lunch separately. Then ask yourself how much you value the private guide, flexible timing, and included recovery time.
Who will enjoy this most
This outing suits couples, families, and small groups that want a relaxed outdoor day with several different activities. It is also a strong match for first-time riders who feel nervous but still want to try horseback riding.
The experience may appeal to people who want a personal guide and do not want to spend the day planning every detail. Rey’s style, based on the available comments, places clear emphasis on comfort, learning, and helping nervous riders relax.
The tour may be less suitable if you want a demanding ride, strict departure and return times, or a full day focused only on horseback riding. It is also worth thinking about your comfort with swimming in natural water and with riding for up to two hours in total.
The 4.9 rating from 41 reviews and 98 percent recommendation rate point to a consistently strong experience. The most praised qualities are Rey’s warm manner, his area knowledge, the educational side of the outing, the food, and his ability to help a nervous first-time rider feel at ease.
What to bring and what to confirm
Pack a swimsuit and towel, since natural swimming is part of the plan. Comfortable clothing for riding, sun protection, and a small amount of personal gear are sensible choices.
Use the saddle bag for essentials rather than bringing a large backpack. Download the free riding-instruction e-book before the tour, and read it before the morning pickup.
Before you book, confirm the pickup location, the expected end time, and the details of the lunch and massage. Also ask about the available return option if you are unsure about riding for a second hour.
Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are not refunded or accepted.
Should you book Rey Spearo?
I would book this tour if you want a private Jalisco day that mixes a gentle horseback ride with swimming, food, beach rest, and a massage. It is especially appealing for beginners because the first ride is limited to an hour, instruction is provided, and the return plan can be adjusted.
I would choose something else if you want a long, athletic riding excursion or need a tightly timed schedule. For most couples and small groups, though, the combination of personal pickup, trained horses, natural water, lunch, and quiet recovery time makes this a well-rounded choice.
