The entire experience was amazing from pickup to drop off. I opted to do the sunrise ride. I know the sunset ride is more popular, but I cannot stress enough how peaceful the ride was and how beautiful the landscape was during the sunrise. My horse was amazing. I had little to know experience, and he took me around like he had been doing this forever. My guide, Sue, was just as amazing. I was the only one signed up for the sunrise ride. She took time to teach me not only about how to ride a horse, but about the island, its history, and more. This is a must do in my opinion!

This was a lot of fun. The horses all have their own personalities and the hosts pair you up according to riding experience. They also set you up to take pictures on the horses with beautiful backgrounds. Great experience!

If your not wearing a helmet , bring a hat and sunscreen. The horses were great and so was the staff . Appreciated the resort pick up.

Beautiful scenery on a ride through the desert to the ocean. The guides were knowledgeable and attentive. I would do it again!

We got to the stables. Filled out our waivers and while I was there I ASKED THEM “will we get new horses or what because these poor babies are hot and exhausted and needed some rest after their last tour back. I was told yes. However I got “Sambucca”. Sambuca had JUST come back from carrying another person In that Aruba heat. She was OVER IT
I was assigned Sambucca and she almost killed me. She ran downhill into the water. Fighting with other horses bc she was annoyed. When we got back to the stables, she made a break for the shade and missed decapitaitng me by about 7 inches. She was tired. Hot and i SPECIFICALLY asked if she was going back out without a break and they told me no 🙄. Those poor babies were exhausted.

Very nice as it was me and another couple, not quite sunset time but still beautiful sightseeing. Our tour guide was really sweet and thoughtful about checking our saddles. Also got the angles right at the beach, I appreciated this alot as a solo traveler.

We had the best time on this adventure! The staff that led us on the horse tour were truly AMAZING! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great experience with horses while in Aruba! We brought our 16 year old daughter it was safe and so much fun!
ANDREA_S, Mar 2026
Got picked up at hotel which was nice. Sue was a great instructor. Very nice relaxing ride from the desert to the beach. All the horses were very well trained. Highly recommend.
Ed_B, Mar 2026
You better confirm five times because Viator list the wrong pick up time so we missed our pick up we rescheduled, but the operator failed to put us on the list so they didn’t pick us up and now we’re sitting here trying to get our money back. My recommendation is not to use Viator or this outfit.
Anna_R, Mar 2026
Waited an hour early to ride and they overbooked the times so we didn’t get to go. Another couple had to be sent home as well.
tyler_d, Mar 2026
We had an amazing time. Communication was great and the tour was the perfect length of time. Would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience Aruba in a non traditional sense. 10/10
Claudia_S, Mar 2026
Wonderful experience. I had never been on a horse and had no issues. Horses are so well trained and guides are the best.
Kimberly_S, Mar 2026
The people who work there are very friendly and knowledgeable. Very accommodating. We meet other great people there.
Margaret_D, Mar 2026
Great people and a wonderful event. It was fun, but do not expect to be walking in the water with your horse like we did. It is just a photo opp of you on your horse in front of the water.
Hal_P, Mar 2026
Zoe was a great guide, knowledgeable and very good with instructions. The desert landscape was absolutely breathtaking
Doug_L, Mar 2026

It was a good time.Horses well trained and crew were very professional. Picked us up at the hotel right on time. Very punctual.
Ron_M, Feb 2026
Rocky trials, one horse slipped and fall. One horse throw a rider while attacking another horse. Guides should use a small PA system to commicate.
Anne_S, Feb 2026
The staff was amazing! Helpful, friendly, and professional!
Wear long pants and closed toe shoes!!!!!
Jason_B, Feb 2026
My son and wife can not stop talking about how much fun they had on our sunset ride! The guides were amazing but the scenery can’t be beat! I’m so glad I booked this and was able to see the beauty of Aruba that not everyone gets to see. Do yourselves a favor and do this if you love horses and love nature!
Michael_L, Feb 2026
Wonderful horseback riding with great guides and very calm horses. Breathtaking view of the ocean halfway through.
Michael_M, Feb 2026
This looks like you are going to ride the horses on a beach but is actually on a rocky trail. You do get to the edge of the water but never on a beach.
Barry_D, Feb 2026
This is a wonderful time. The horse's are great. The saddles are comfortable
.the ride was very enjoyable
