Dira M.July 13, 2015So much fun! First time I went horseback riding. And it was great. The horses are very well trained. The people are very friendly. $40 is a good price for 1 hour of horseback riding. Great experience.- dancetranceMarch 14, 2016Our guide constantly checked on us to make sure we were okay. We walked along the beach for a while then stopped and our guide took photos of us on our phones. We did see dolphins which was wonderful.
- Mcneil72December 8, 2015Not an experienced horse rider, but my friends and I literally LOVED being there and our beautiful ride with a great patient (oh yes, I was so scared of falling down & he helped me a lot) instructor.
LidiaFebruary 17, 2016I enjoyed the beautiful view. I was so eager to get down to the ocean. My horse was very well trained. I would definitely come back with a group. They even have pony rides for kids.- Lucky23March 7, 2016Great horses, nice guide, and beautiful ride down to the beach. You can't beat this for a romantic ride or family ride. We will go back when in town. John was a great guide.
- Oli867September 8, 2015The horse wranglers were good spirited and very accommodating. No reservations were needed! $50 for 1 hour sounds good to me. The view was beautiful, I was able to stop for pictures on the beach :)
- Merde70November 12, 2015Great place to go horse back riding along the SF coast (you get to ride a trail along the dunes and down onto the beach and right along the water)... Excellent views and pricing
- KirstenDecember 22, 2015The staff was helpful and friendly and kept a close eye on us. The scenery was very beautiful and the horses knew what they were doing. It cost $40/person for about 1 1/2 hour ride.
- Tamaha56October 21, 2015I came here a few months ago with a group of friends and had a great time. This place is pretty awesome considering the decent prices, no reservations, and overall riding experience.
- LeliaFebruary 22, 2016Our experience at Mar Vista Stables was outstanding. Parking is free and right in front. No reservations are needed. The scenery is amazing and our horses were well-behaved.
- Mazrui113October 28, 2015Great ride, nice people and gentle horses. The horses were eager to go and seemed to really enjoy the departure from plodding along with newbies. My friend and I will definitely be back.
- LizSeptember 21, 2015Pretty fun 1-hour ride. The horses were well-behaved (sometimes lazy, but you get that with horses half the time anyway, you just need to be firm with them), and the scenery was gorgeous!
- MerleNovember 23, 2015This stable was wonderful. The horses were all very well mannered, the 1 hour ride was so beautiful and worth every penny of the $50! I would recommend this ride to anyone
- T. C.July 27, 2015Loved my ride. I got lucky and was the only one there so I got a private ride on the beach. The guide was very nice and the views are amazing. Can't wait to go back.
- Pierce ForestFebruary 29, 2016Good ride, pretty cheap plus you ride to the beach then down the beach just to walk back they way u came down. It's worth the 40 a piece. If your around give it a try.
- LorettaSeptember 6, 2016Best time ever! Beautiful scenery, good horses and a really nice guide. Will definitely be back and highly recommend.
- Kasey A.April 21, 2016OMG I just had the most adventurous ride today! I joined a small group of people. Go weekday if you are a more adventurous rider so you don't hang up with a bunch of tourists.
- M. McleanAugust 18, 2015It was my first time riding horses and it was a perfect place to start with! I am very thankful for my unique and happy experience!!!! I would definitely recommend this place.

- HScrantone81August 10, 2015We recently took a group of 10 year old girls here for a beach trail ride and they had a wonderful time. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and laid-back.
- Evans10March 22, 2016Steep trails down to the beach might intimidate some beginner riders but we thought it was fun. Riding on the beach and in the water was wonderful! We would ride here again
- NoelleJune 29, 2015I had a great time, and Sergio was a great wrangler. He was very mindful of how the horses were doing, and he was open to what I wanted out of the ride.

- Lenopla914November 17, 2015Mar Vista (ocean view) provides an exceptional riding experience. The horses seem well-fed; and, well-groomed. My daughter takes riding lessons back home; and, she said they looked and behaved great.
- Stacro63December 16, 2015I have always had good experiences riding here. I used to live in the Daly City area over 20+yrs. ago and would ride there almost every weekend.
- Pho85July 20, 2015Overall it was good because you don't have to pre book anything and if you are looking for some trail ride within the area it's the place to go.
- Jefra280January 28, 2016I feel like I struck gold. The place isn't fancy, but its real. The bottom line is, its family run & everyone who works here or stumbled onto this place LOVES, and I mean truly LOVES their horses.
- MariwilliaNovember 4, 2015Beautiful trail down to the beach. I was the only one out on the trail ride this morning so it was fun because my guide let me canter a bit up and down the beach.
- perryApril 11, 2016The view is breathtaking. It is an absolutely amazing trail. The horses are calm for the most. The staff was friendly and helpful.
