This was a great short excursion. The staff took excellent care of us, stopped along the way used our phones to take pictures. Make sure we had water was very friendly and professional flying halfway across the world to ride horses on the beach is an awesome experience. Highly recommended.

Our ride was perfect! Tour Guides were safe, fun and informative and horses were calm and well trained. Stopped along the way for great photos. A must do for anyone regardless of riding experience.

I’m 60 years old. This was the first time I had ever ridden a horse. I had a great time. The instructors/guides were great.

A wonderful afternoon experience

Nihad_M, Jan 2026
Wonderful experience, I had amazing guides that made me feel comfortable being on horse although it was my first time.

Fantastic horse riding experience

Karen_L, Jan 2026
I was really impressed by the quality of the horses here. Very well trained and healthy. The ride is for every level of rider. There were 4 of us and one was a woman who had never been on a horse. I have been riding over 20 years and we all had a great time. The best places to see and they took many nice pictures. The guides were very friendly and made sure everyone had a good, safe time.

I had horses for many years. This was far above than what we expected. We expected a simple trail ride and it was more

Horse back in Aruba is a must!

susan_p, Nov 2025
So much fun and saw so much of the island that would have not been seen otherwise. They took pictures in amazing places but I wish we had a family picture on horseback by the beach instead of individuals but still amazing to have any kind of picture. Such a fun experience!

My daughter and I loved the tour so much fun. We took the 4pm tour we were picked up at our hotel which was great since we didn’t have a car.

Unforgettable experience in Aruba!

Shannon_R, Jul 2024
I got kicked by a horse 🥴 but we had an amazing time...my guide was very nice & led me & my horse next to his horse every step of the way...which is probably why I was kicked...his horse was tired of my horse on his ssa 😂 This was my first time on a horse, so be prepared to be stiff & a little sore after a hour & a half of riding & galloping. Our driver to & from the hotel was hilarious, I loved him!

Anniversary ride together ❤️

Horseback Riding on the North Shore

Alisha_J, Jun 2024
We loved this horseback riding experience on the North Coast! You see parts of the island that aren’t otherwise easily accessible. The tour guides stopped several places to take our pictures and talked about the local insight for each area. We got to gallup with the horses and really navigate them on our own some. Much better than most trail ride experiences!

Breathtaking and freeing

Marisa_K, May 2024
Beautiful and breathtaking.. My tour guides were awesome.. I was not nervous when I read the review.. When they were going over the instructions, I got a little nervous but as the ride went on I felt so relaxed and content. My girl Elegance was so sweet and gentle. Took her time on hills.. My tour guide when whistle and call her name and she would pick up the pace. The first time I thought I may have heart attack but then I was confident by the end with ease and admiration for these beautiful creatures. I thank them for making my time here memorable and magical.. The trip was amazing and I highly recommend..
