Look elsewhere !!!
markrU4487FE, October 2026
I wouldn't recommend. Great locale and docile horses. But totally inattentive guides - no interaction at all - mailing it in. No guidance whatsoever to beginner rider !!! This is compared to 2 other recent rides elsewhere which both gave some necessary and helpful information. Other reviews which i read only after my ride indicate poor care of horses - unacceptable for sure. No clarity re where to meet - had to figure out by myself. Overall only saved by great local and docile horses. Look elsewhere

Unforgettable experience

The best way to discover Monument Valley far from cars and tourists. A great moment! Thanks to Roger, our guide full of humor, and to Trigger and Izzy, our two mounts!

Two-hour horseback riding tour
66raphaelak, September 2026
At the beginning, there was unfortunately some confusion regarding the agreed start time, as our guide was out with another group. However, we were then enabled to start the tour at the originally agreed time.
The excursion itself was very eventful and brought us a lot of joy. Our guide Marco was very nice, helpful, and accompanied us well during the tour. Despite the initial difficulties with the organization, it was overall a unique experience that will remain in our memories positively. We can recommend the duration of two hours.

Amazing!!!

We had such an amazing time on the horses, there is no better way to see monument valley than on horseback. Deon was our tour guide and he was absolutely amazing and funny, he told us stories about his family and about the different rocks. He even waited for us because we were running late, make sure you look into the time zone changes, we stayed in Page AZ and there is a time difference. The horses were so well trained I felt totally comfortable the whole time. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to go to monument valley. They even do tours in the winter and I think that would be such a cool experience. I went with a friend but I think I have to bring my family back here and show them.

ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDED! Horse riding fall!
I2128CLvaleriav, August 2026
HIGHLY DISCOURAGED 2-HOUR HORSEBACK TOUR!! Fall from a horse due to the total irresponsibility of the guides.
I advise anyone against relying on Sacred Monument Tours. Unfortunately, I know well that a horseback excursion in Monument Valley is a beautiful experience that everyone would like to do once in their life (and it is precisely the reason why we relied on them, being one of the very few authorized and well-known tours to access the area), but I beg you not to do it so as not to ruin your vacations or, worse, put your life at risk.
What was supposed to be an unforgettable adventure turned into a nightmare when my friend was thrown to the ground by a horse, risking paralysis or worse, due to the total incompetence and inattention of the staff. I have participated in other beginner excursions and I know what it means to work safely: here, the attention to the customer is zero.
The accident was caused by the guide: Almost at the end of the ride, the guide made a sound/sign to the horse (a kiss); the animal suddenly bolted and my friend flew to the ground violently. After such a serious incident, there was no adequate assistance. They only hid behind the waiver signed at the beginning. We know that all tours make you sign a liability waiver, but bureaucracy is one thing, and total indifference and lack of aid in the face of a danger created directly by them is another.
I also add that throughout the duration of the tour, the guide was completely inattentive and absent: he spent the time with headphones in his ears, walking very far from us. I even fell behind alone for a long stretch because my horse was tired and had detached from the group, without anyone noticing. Always with signs made to the horses, he gave them instructions to trot even though we were beginners. Furthermore, at the beginning they ask if you prefer a helmet or a cowboy hat, an absolutely unprofessional and dangerous choice for those who are not experts.
They are totally improvised, have no care for customers, and put people's safety at high risk. Do not make our same mistake: it is not worth it!
