Great

Ruth_H, May 2024

As current horse owners we were happy to see the horses in such good care. Barn staff knew the horses personalities and was able to match ride and horse perfectly. Our guide Nelson was very attentive to our safety. The ride on the beach was beautiful but it would be nice for the Arubian government to see to cleaning up the pollution that tourists and cruise ships bring to the beach. We enjoyed our morning ride and would recommend Rancho Notorious to others.

Definitely recommend

Nester was our guide. He was fantastic but didn’t speak much English which is the language we requested for our tour. We loved our horses and were able to gallop across the beach in our advanced tour. Would definitely recommend!

Very Disappointed

Robert_D, Apr 2023

Imagine getting up at 5:30 am to be in the hotel lobby by 6:30 and the van not showing up. They wrongly assumed because I had a rental car that I would bring my daughter although I never agreed to that. The said they sent me email notification but I never got it. Also I was charged for 2 riders even though only my daughter rode. I should not have been charged for 2. I tried to resolve this matter and avoid writing this but they had no interest. What they are not saying is I actually did go there the day before to make sure the manager knew I wanted the van to come. So basically a day of vacation was wasted we drove to the place and when I tried to cancel Rancho Notorious called. They offered to let my daughter ride at the 5 pm sunset ride but did not offer for a second rider to ride. So my daughter paid twice as much for her ride. The ride was ok but I’m not sure it was worth double the price. I’m writing this in the hopes no one else goes through this. They should understand that if the decide not to pick you up when they have told you they are coming they should call or make sure the message was received. Also it doesn’t seem fair to charge one person double. Physician in Maryland

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Dr. Robert L Davison Jr, the ranch emailed you back and called on your request although Viator is the 3rd party you booked with. They have also confirmed you were in fact charged for just one rider of the selected tour. We're sorry they didn't issue you a refund as their communication portal shows the time stamped conversation when we asked that you drop her off the same day you booked, since there was not space for 2 to accompany her in the van with pickup. We're glad Celeste enjoyed her ride!

Aruba beauty, horses and sun!

Excellent experience! Nestor is the best guide and instructor for every level. We highly recommend you add this experience to your stay in Aruba, from the pickup to drop off we couldn’t have asked for more!!

Very Nice Ride

Nestor was a great tour guide. Being an experienced rider he allowed my husband and I to enjoy the trail at our own speed since we did the private tour. The horses were nice, typical for what you’d expect trail horses to be. Would go again.
