Our verdict

This tour fits a typical Mazatlán call (8:00 am–4:30 pm). It runs 4 h 30 min; ashore by 8:20 am, you can start by 8:30 am and be back at the gangway around 1:10 pm — 2 h 20 min to spare on top of a 1 h safety margin.

Rule of thumb: it keeps the safety margin as long as all aboard is 2:10 pm or later. Even a short 7:00 am–2:00 pm call works.

The operator picks up at the cruise port (it is on their pickup list), so the trip to the start point is part of the tour. We allow 10 min to walk off and find the pickup; look for the ground-transportation area outside Mazatlán cruise terminal (Puerto de Mazatlán).

Among the 130 Mazatlán shore excursions we track, this is about average in length (the median runs 4 h); 97% of them fit a typical call.

Computed from the tour's published duration, the distance from the cruise pier to its start point and the typical Mazatlán call. Adjust your ship's times above to recheck.

About this tour

Upon arrival at, you will choose the horse you will ride through agave plantations, jungle and on a virgin beach. It is a guided tour of approximately one hour of horseback riding with an expert horseman on a very quiet beach.

After your lunch, a shaman will welcome you and hand you clay so you can take a mud bath and exfoliate your skin. Once the mud is dry, you will wash it out with water and the go into the temazcal. You will sit around and start to sweat with the steam generated by volcanic stones and fragrant herbs. Here you will thank our Mother Earth for everything you have and will ask for help to remove yourself from everything you don’t need. Because of its shape, the temazcal represents the womb from our Mother Earth. Inside, you will work with its four elements: earth, wind, fire and water to purify and harmonize your body, soul and spirit.

Includes: round transportation, lunch, drinks and Mezcal tour.
