Beautiful experience

Amy_P, Apr 2026

Mr. Nelson was our guide. He did a great job leading us on our adventure. He took lots of amazing photos of my husband and I, so we can remember this adventure for years to come. We even fed the horses some snacks when we got back. Feeding the horses is extra but only a few bucks so don’t miss out on that. They even picked us up at our hotel and brought us back no extra charge.

Cute cozy ranch

Ericka_R, Feb 2026

I love horseback riding and this was definitely one of the best times! Although the water was choppy it was extremely beautiful crashing on to rocks! I loved the ranch was cute! At the end they give you the option of giving your horse a treat!

The Sunset ride was...

John_M, Dec 2025

The Sunset ride was fantastic. The guide was helpful and ensured we stopped at every opportunity for some great pictures

Phenomenal Sunset Tour!

Gary_A, Oct 2025

This is our second time with Rancho Notorious! I was terrified of riding a horse.until we met our guide Nelson in March 2025 and another lovely guide in Oct 2025! They are phenomenal! The gorgeous scenery in the hills feeling the constant trade wind seeing the cactus and other wonderful plants was so refreshing! Then you arrive at the ocean around sunset and that was breathtaking! We will return in March for the same tour! Each time I see or notice something different

had the best time!

Ivanna_O, Sep 2025

10/10 must do trail! easy, horses are fun and easy going, very sweet and you can feed them a snack after the trail! was my husband and i’s first time on horseback, got easy and clear instructions on how to get on and how to ride the horse. went during our honeymoon and got to see a beautiful sunset and walk by the ocean. overall such a peaceful trail. tour guide was very sweet and fun, made sure to wait if a horse was taking its own pace and would always check in with everyone. the horses know what they’re doing and make sure to follow the trail of the lead. was truly an amazing experience, will do again next time in aruba!

Not exactly sunset

Amit_K, Jul 2025

Horse ride was fine. The scenery was interesting. Biggest issue was it was labeled as a sunset ride but we done before the sun even set. Picked up at 440 and back at the hotel by 650. We watched the sun set from our hotel room at the StRegis lol

Beautiful Ride!

PAMELA_F, Jan 2025

Took a trail ride with Rancho Notorious in Aruba. it was great that they picked us up at our hotel. The Ranch was NOT fancy by any means, but the horses were clean, seemed happy & well cared for. You ride out thru a trail which winds thru the cactus forest, which is really neat. You get to the beach & ride along the beautiful North Coast. Our guide, stopped us a few times & used our phones to take photos of us, which was really nice. We did the two hour sunset ride & coming back I could really see the sunset thru the horses ears. My only bad observation is that our guide spoke NO ENGLISH. None, at all. He was nice & all but it would have been interesting to have someone to tell you a bit about the scenery of Aruba or the beach. It made for a quiet ride. Still I'd definitely recommend Rancho Notorious for a horseback ride while in Aruba.

Sunset 2 hour tour very good

THOMAS_V, Dec 2024

The people were great, pickup was on time and part of the package. The 2 hour tour was very scenic. I suggest the early morning or sunset (which we did) as the day tours are HOT. Two hours is plenty on the body. I’d rate this 4.5 only as one of the four horses “Bob” is “old or lazy” and makes it hard to keep up with the group. Overall great time.

Serenity at best

Robert_R, Jul 2024

The ride was beautiful from start to finish. Our guide was great and took the time to stop at different beautiful locations and get pictures. All our horses were gentle and easy to handle, The ride along the ocean was great. Would recommend this tour.

AMAZING AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! 10/10

Samantha_E, May 2024

This was the ABSOLUTE HIGHLIGHT of our trip! Nelson was an amazing guide who let us take in all the amazing peaceful scenery & even took pictures of us! I would recommend this to anyone !! This is an amazing way to see another side of Aruba!

Great last Day

carl_M, Dec 2022

My wife and I had an amazing time with our tour guide Max, even though my horse was temperamental; the experience was top notch. We got to see the coast line and travel a rocky trail not to adventurous but perfect for a beginner…. Thanks Max for an awesome experience

An amazing experience

Nina_P, Mar 2022

Such an amazing ride and the horses where so kind! We will for sure be back. We can’t say enough wonderful things about this ride. The sunset ride is a must.

Beautiful Aruba via horseback

Trisha_B, Mar 2022

Wonderful low key, slow paced beautiful landscape. Wonderful way to really see natural Aruba!! Tour guide very friendly and easy going!

Best horseback riding experience EVER

Javion_m, Jan 2022

This was the absolute best horseback riding experience that I have ever experienced! The horses are so well trained and tour guide went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time! We will definitely be coming back to do this same experience with the same tour guide because I don't think I'll ever get the same horseback riding experience anywhere else! Can't wait to come back!!

Peaceful Beauty

Rose, Nov 2021

Riding with my husband and tour guide Nesto was very relaxing & peaceful. The mountains and ocean was a beautiful site. I recommend this tour for anyone wanting a peaceful, stress free ride. Thank you Nesto!

Great experience. Overcharged.

Lina, May 2021

It was a great experience, however our friends did the same on and we were charged more with less people. I don't think that's fair.

Sunset Tour

Susan_C, Apr 2021

The amazing views. And our guide Hester sang to us on top of mountain watching the sun set. Highly recommend this tour

A relaxing ride with gorgeous views

Danielle_L, Mar 2021

Super fun and relaxing. It’s a bit nerve-wracking at first if you are a new rider. I have only been once before, but the guide Nestor was great at telling us all what to do and how to ride properly. The views were stunning and the sunset was great. Definitely would recommend!
