Amazing ranch. The staff and the horses are amazing. Great value and great food. We especially loved the 4 hour ride into the desert. The wrangler RJ and Hannah are great.

Tanque Verde was fantastic. The riding was so fun, I loved the lope rides and breakfast rides. My younger kids had a great time in the kids program, it was full for sure, being Spring Break. My son was 12 and he thought it was geared more for younger kids but it was a great way to get him some experience in the saddle. We would check him out to do mountain biking and other adventures some days. Food was great, but I was surprised they had a special, more expensive, lunch and dinner menu just for Spring Break peak season. That wasn’t my favorite. My daughters and I already rebooked to return in January!

If you like horseback riding and a desert-style western experience, this is for you! Family-friendly, comfortable, and lots of activities to enjoy.

Just a wonderful experience overall. From check in to breakfast, everything exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was great and the tacos in the saloon the night before were delicious. I went there to see the eclipse. Although the cloud cover preventing me from seeing some of it, the stay here made up for it. It is a unique place and I would definitely put it on my list for a future stay.

Grew up in Tucson but never made it out here. Whenever I'd visit, I always stayed in town closer to family and friends, but this time I decided to get away from the traffic and tension and just relax. Everything was so pleasant and peaceful, and the food and the service were just wonderful. I hope to bring family next time, when it's a little cooler so I can enjoy more outdoor activities.

Tanque Verde Ranch was our first experience with a guest ranch. We arrived in Arizona not knowing what to expect. When we finally arrived we were both amazed by the place. Our room was upgraded to a fireplace suite and it was lovely and spacious with a back patio that opened onto the wide desert. The horseback rides out into the Sonoran desert were both beautiful and exciting. The food was fabulous. It was the best vacation we'd ever had!
