🐴 BOOK NOW

The best horseback riding tour through Red Rock Canyon is the Morning Maverick Horseback Ride with Breakfast from Las Vegas which has over 1100 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

When taking a tour myself, I always want to go with the tried and tested option, and Morning Maverick Horseback Ride with Breakfast from Las Vegas has certainly passed the test of time.

You don’t get over 1000 positive reviews for no reason- especially since people are way less likely to leave a review of a good tour than they are to leave a review of a bad tour.

The rating speaks for itself. 5/5. The perfect Red Rock Canyon horseback experience.

There are also lots of extras included like hotel pick-up and drop-off which is completely free.

What I personally loved so much about this tour is the fact that it was early in the morning. There’s no better way to start your day than with an experience like this.

It also means the Canyon is much more peaceful and the ride has a really secluded and tranquil atmosphere- which is really nice when you’re horseback riding.

And it also means there is a delicious breakfast included too!

Honestly, I was expecting the breakfast to be pretty bad. Most tours which include food (aside from food tours) are usually serving sub-par food, but the breakfast on Morning Maverick Horseback Ride with Breakfast from Las Vegas was actually really really tasty.

I really enjoyed it and it made for the perfect break in between riding.

But obviously, the riding is the main attraction, and it’s tremendous. The horses are lovely; really friendly horses and you can tell they enjoy the trek too.

For many people, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it would be completely ruined by having an uncooperative horse. From my experience, everyone’s horse was really well-behaved and easy to ride.

Whether you’re a first-timer or a pro-rider, you’ll have no issues. Don’t worry- it was my first time riding a horse too and I managed fine.

You get about 90 minutes of riding in total, which is plenty if you aren’t used to the pain of sitting on a horse- you’ll find the break a welcomed break.

If you want to book the best horseback riding tour of the Red Rock Canyon, look no further than the Morning Maverick Horseback Ride with Breakfast from Las Vegas.

2. Red Rock Canyon Sunset Horseback Ride and Barbeque

⭐RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars (850+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 5 hours |
🐴 BOOK NOW

Another tour I can really recommend is the Red Rock Canyon Sunset Horseback Ride and Barbeque. Like the first tour, it’s also very highly rated with over 850 5-star reviews.

This is another tour I can vouch for. When my parents visited Las Vegas, this was the horseback riding tour of the Red Rock Canyon which they opted for.

Unlike me, they don’t love being up early in the mornings. So that’s why they preferred Red Rock Canyon Sunset Horseback Ride and Barbeque.

As the name suggests, it’s in the evening during sunset. Red Rock Canyon is beautiful at any time of the day, but it becomes especially beautiful during sunset.

In my unbiased opinion as a sunset lover, everywhere becomes more beautiful during sunset.

Also included is, instead of breakfast, a barbeque. My mum and dad told me that just like the breakfast, it was well above expectations and was really tasty. Just don’t make the same mistake my dad did in having a steak for his lunch 🤦‍♂️.

But if the BBQ isn’t enough…how do s’mores sound?

Sounds unreal to me- nothing beats a s’more! If you haven’t heard the name before, it’s when you toast a marshmallow and put it between two biscuits (cookies) making a sort of sandwich.

AND, if that isn’t enough, you also get some wild western entertainment and cowboy poetry too.

This tour is a true cowboy experience. From the horseback riding through the canyon to the barbecue and finishing off with some entertainment, you’ll feel like a good ol’ cowboy or cowgirl.

If you want to make your childhood dreams of becoming a cowboy come true, then be sure to book the Red Rock Canyon Sunset Horseback Ride and Barbeque.

3. Wild West Sunset Horseback Ride with Dinner from Las Vegas

⭐RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars (700+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 5 hours |

The standard of these horseback riding Red Rock Canyon tours is incredible. The third tour on this list is Wild West Sunset Horseback Ride with Dinner from Las Vegas and it also has a maximum rating of 5/5 after over 700 reviews.

The Red Rock Canyon is in the Mojave Desert which in my opinion, is one of the most picturesque deserts on our planet. It’s hard to find the words to describe it.

I hate cliches, but the cliche “pictures don’t do it justice” is the best way to express how I feel about horseback riding through this beautiful part of Nevada.

Wild West Sunset Horseback Ride with Dinner from Las Vegas is more than “just” a sunset tour, more than “just” horseback riding. It’s a complete dream-worthy experience.

The phrase “ride into the sunset” is quite literally what you are doing. You will leave a happier person.

I also love the sunset tours because, on top of a gorgeous sunset and a nice evening meal, you also get to do a bit of stargazing. And deserts are some of the best places in the world for stargazing.

The Mojave Desert has actually been named one of the best places for stargazing in the US.

There’s no light pollution, and seeing the stars shining bright against a dark night sky is a moment I always cherish.

By the way, the trails you take are the same ones used by infamous outlaws of the Wild West, and this is something the tour company prides itself on- authenticity in the trails.

Sounds good, right? So what are you waiting for? Book the Wild West Sunset Horseback Ride with Dinner from Las Vegas well in advance as spots are limited as there are only so many horses.

4. 2-Hour Horseback Riding through Red Rock Canyon

Another really good option for horseback riding through Red Rock Canyon is 2-Hour Horseback Riding through Red Rock Canyon. Even at fourth on my list, it still has over 550 reviews and a 5-star rating. It’s impressive how high the standard of these tours is.

As I’ve said before, it’s hard to find the words to describe how special a horseback riding tour through the Red Rock Canyon is.

Even as someone who runs this travel blog for a living, you’d expect I could find the words to describe 2-Hour Horseback Riding through Red Rock Canyon but I can’t.

I genuinely think you need to experience it for yourself to understand how incredible it is.

You are fully immersed in the moment, with a magical sensory sensation as all of your senses are taking in the experience.

The warm sun makes your body feel cosy inside while you feel the bumps of the horse taking steps forward, while you hear the trotting of their feet on the desert and smell that desert smell which can’t be described.

To summarise, it’s wonderful. Marvellous. Miraculous. Any positive adjective will describe how it feels to ride a horse through the Red Rock Canyon.

This tour, in particular, I really like because it offers a bit of education also. Who doesn’t like learning things while having fun?

While riding, you will be taught about horses, the cowboy lifestyle and facts about the desert and canyon. Your wrangler will have you leaving as a horse expert.

This tour is also great if you’re short on time. It’s only two hours and doesn’t include a meal or anything, but still allows you to have a great time riding.

I love these tours so much that I included horseback riding through Red Rock Canyon on my complete bucket list for visiting Las Vegas.

If you’re looking for a shorter tour, then definitely take a look at 2-Hour Horseback Riding through Red Rock Canyon.
