Wild West Horseback Adventures

So amazing! I went on the sunset tour with my boyfriend and we definitely want to be back. The driver James was so kind and funny. The leader of the trail ride/​owner of the ranch Hymen was amazingly helpful and spoke to me a lot during the ride. The dinner was delicious, James is a great cook. Any leftovers we fed to the goats. And we went to the barn to meet week old baby goats who were so adorable. Also we rescued a baby kitten in the barn! It was a night both me and my boyfriend will never forget. I highly recommend if you want to horseback ride in Vegas. Everything goes perfectly and the time will go by too fast.

We had a wonderful experience here. Everyone from James who picked us up to Chris and Sarah as our wranglers were friendly, courteous and professional. The breakfast was tasty and there was more than enough to eat. They picked out the best horses for each person. Cheyenne was the best horse I have ever ridden. I would highly recommend them to anyone. We plan on going back there when we return.

The horseback ride through the Red Rock Canyon trail is something that everyone should experience. I didn’t know what to expect going into it, but we all enjoyed it, and want to do it again.
We did the morning ride, so they picked us up from our hotel at about 7:30 am. After they drove us to the ranch, they took us to the bar/​restaurant for the included breakfast. The food was really good, better than we expected. We got pancakes, eggs, home fries, and a choice between sausage, ham, or bacon.
After breakfast they matched everyone up with horses, and took us out riding for about an hour. The view from the canyon (and throughout the ranch) was amazing. I would recommend Wild West Adventures to anyone who wants to try something different during their next trip to Vegas.

AWESOME. The guides were patient and informative, the horses were well kept for, the trail was the perfect amount of time, dinner was fantastic. I would go back to Vegas just to go again with this place. It was my first time on a horse ever and I’m happy that my first experience was with these guys. If you haven’t done the dinner ride with them and are curious, do it, you won’t be disappointed!

I’m just not sure you get your monies worth. For $ 129.99 they picked us up from our hotel in the strip. It was about a 30 minute ride through red rock canyon — which was beautiful. They brought us to Bonnie springs ranch for horseback riding, old western town, petting zoo and lunch. The horseback ride was 1 hour and took you through the canyon. Breathtaking views. The petting zoo seemed run down, as did the old western city. For those who came for old town and zoo only, admission prob was $ 10. The lunch included was ok. You had choice of big breakfast or lunch of ribs, burgers, pulled pork or ckn, grilled ckn breast sandwich or ribs. Not bad choice. Food was ok and came with fries or coleslaw. While we all enjoyed ourselves, not sure I’d do it again. Don’t get me wrong, everyone was very friendly and helpful — just not sure it is worth the price a second time.

I was on vacation in Vegas with my two sisters and brother in law Feb. 28^th– March7th. We went on line and booked this tour prior to our vacation. Only my brother had ever been on a horse but let me tell you this was awesome. We booked the dinner ride and it was only the four of us as it’s the off season. Jeff picked us up at our hotel and we had a lovely ride to the ranch. Caesar, the owner and our guide could not have been friendlier. He explained how to ride the horse. The horses are very responsive and docile. We had a great steak dinner afterwards and even learned how to rope cattle. I highly recommend this tour. The setting is serene and Caesar’s two dogs accompanied us on our ride. I can’t wait to go back next year!

This was by far one awesome, unforgettable, First time on a horse experience! The ride on the trail was so nice, peaceful & relaxing! The food was great! The staffs polite and diligent! At the end we had a chose of sitting around a camp fire under the stars or learning to lasso! Our group pick learn to lasso! lol first try got the cattle (fake cattle)! It’s was amazing and a cowboy experience for a day!!! Well worth ever dollar!

The trail ride through the desert was serene and beautiful. The guides were personable and knowledgeable. Dinner after the sunset ride was delicious. Petting the two day old baby goat was fuzzy and adorable. Learning how to throw a lasso around the horns of a metal bull was exciting.
This is a great place to ride a horse in the sand.

Everything about Wild West Horseback Adventures deserves 5 stars! All of the staff members were very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The ranchers even had us all laughing with their great sense of humor on the trails. This is my first time riding and they made me feel very comfortable and were very patient. There were also small children on the tour that they gave extra TLC to. If you have kids this is a great family adventure. The ranchers also stop on the trails and get off their horses and took pictures of us with our cameras. It’s great to have these photos.
The food was also wonderful. A full breakfast in the restaurant. They were even able to accommodate my vegetarian needs with a huge bowl of oatmeal. I never expected a full meal with this tour.
If you want to get out of the city and enjoy some breathtaking views of Red Rock Canyon I highly recommend you do this. I still can hardly believe how inexpensive it was.

I am a frequent traveler to Vegas and each time I visit, I like to try a something new. Another prerequisite to offset the atmosphere of the strip is to find a natural adventure. This year — my bucket list item was horseback riding. After reading several reviews, I decided to try this company. I must say I was not disappointed!
The shuttle bus driver was prompt and picked me up from the hotel wearing appropriate cowboy gear. He was also very personable. The trip to the ranch was enjoyable. My only negative comment was that the Las Vegas trivia the driver was trying to share with the tour group was a bit hard to hear in the back of the van. Recommendation — encourage the driver to speak loudly, or include a PA system over the radio. The ride was 30 minutes and everyone was interested in hearing the tidbits.
The tour itself was amazing! From the huge breakfast to the pre-​brief to the trail ride itself, the experience was amazing! The trail tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. The weather and scenery were breathtaking. The horses were amazing as well. We stopped along the trail and the guide took pictures of each of us on our horse. After returning to the ranch, we had time to go to the petting zoo and look around a bit more but the highlight was the trail riding.
I would gladly use this company again and highly recommend them.

My wife and I recently did the sunset ride. Was one of the top moments of our trip. The staff are very friendly and make sure that you are comfortable on your horse even as a first time rider. Great meal after the ride as well! Did some roping after dinner before heading back. Would recommend to all, regardless of age or experience.

I honestly can’t say enough great things about this place. But if you’re looking to go horseback riding in the Vegas area do not look anywhere else this place is awesome. From all the guys that work there to the dinner to the ride back to our hotel went without a hitch, it was perfect. I wish I could ride longer.
Absolutely no complaints whatsoever, you just have to go to this place. Well worth the money. And don’t forget to tip the guys too.
They have cowboy hats for $ 25. And either red or blue bandanas for $ 5. Get them both!!! You will need the bandana for sure. Lots of dust!!!

Incredible experience!!! From the pickup to the drop-​off, every second was amazing. Ernie, a REAL cowboy, was the best host we could ask for. The guys that run the ranch up north for the sunset ride were great– we took a beautiful ride through country completely unlike Vegas. The dinner was unreal– ribeyes better than most steakhouses! Capped off with a bonfire, Ernie’s extremely talented singing and guitar playing, this was the best experience I could ever have imagined. My wife and I left with incredible memories we will never forget. Rock solid guys– thank you!!!

Have you ever wanted to pack your bags and permanently leave the big city for a ranch in the Nevada desert? …Neither have I but this place convinced me that I need an occasional desert retreat in my life. We flew to Vegas from Miami last summer (2012) and I found this company as I was searching online for things to do (prior to flight). I picked a date for the sunset ride, purchased two tickets online and was picked up at my hotel on the strip. The driver was really nice. He was friendly, courteous and talkative so the drive up was not a bore.
At the ranch, they gave us some quick tips and a little lesson and paired us up one by one to a horse. Once we set off on our ride, it was literally one of the most relaxing things I had ever done. The views were great and the evening weather was perfect at the time. The dogs on the ranch came with and they were very entertaining as they worked together to chase rodents out of bushes. My horse stopped a couple times to scratch his rear on a bush which got quite a laugh out of everyone. As we were on our ride, an unusual storm began to approach. We got back before the storm and were able to hunker down until it passed.
After the storm, we had BBQ for dinner and it was perfect. My only wish was that we could have stayed for the bonfire, but the rain just wouldn’t allow for it. However, it was an awesome sight to watch the storm roll in as we rode and we got quite a lightening show. I’ll settle for a bonfire on my next visit to Vegas because I would definitely do this again.

I love horses but the young, old, and first timers will all enjoy it. We did the evening time ride. It was a ride off into the sunset. The talk of the land, Native Americans, and history of some of the land and horses was really nice, and the peace and serenity was unspeakable. I wished the ride was longer. But you ride with a great staff and they are awesome and friendly and helpful.
Bring a jacket, and dont forget your sunscreen. ;)
Bring your camera, cause your going to need and want it! I’ve done some photography but riding and taking pictures was something fun to adapt to indeed. I have some memories of a lifetime.
This place is connected to a little saloon and bonnies restaurant (that was literally built from the ground up by even the wood from the land making its tables and chairs) and the ranch itself.
After the glorious ride you end with a fire and a full dinner and dessert!
On a great note, they pick you up and drop you off too, so no worries in how you’ll get there, and no worries on how you will get home either because they do it for you which is super awesome!
For those that are first timers out doors: wear jeans and/​or cargo pants, tennis shoes or boots. Layers is best with tank tops or tshirts and a jacket too (depending on how hot or cold you will feel), sunscreen and sunglasses (and a hat) to help prevent the kickbacks of the dust from riding on the horses together. Ladies don’t try to be cute in heels you will break something (lol), its not the place nor the time. Sunscreen (even at sunset the Nevada sun can affect your skin), wear something you won’t mind that will get a little dusty and dirty.
You are after all, on a horse, out in the west.
