We had a great time on our sunset horseback ride . Our guide took us all thru this dessert area to the wild side of Aruba . The sea is so rough there but it’s gorgeous . He took photos for us . Our horses were great , even though we haven’t ridden in years , we did great ! Highly recommend !

The breeze, the waves, and the gentle rhythm of our horses made this an unforgettable experience. We had a great time.

A guide should have a experienced rider in the front and back. Our group only had one guy in the front. Didnt help someone struggling and didnt speak english. We saw another company on our trail and the group had 3 instructors and they looked very well organized. Not good for first timers. Skip
Horses were well kept though. And the trail was nice

The views are gorgeous but our guide spoke no English which made it difficult to communicate. Also, one of the riders hadn't been on a horse before and would get very far behind so we had to keep waiting. We'd ride for a minute then stop for a minute.

Great experience. Horses did pretty well on the tour. We stopped for pictures. It was about 1.5 to two hours.
Denise_M, May 2025
Definitely wear pants and close toed shoes. Driver was sweet but apparently not the owner of the ranch. The guide did not talk English and so it was a very quiet ride through the arid terrain and out to the shoreline. Very pleasant ride and the horses were well mannered.

Over all a 10 out of 10. Booking was easy with no issues via the online service. Communication was easy and keep updated as we neared our scheduled sunset tour. Directs were easy to follow and find. Greeted as we pulled up and direct to get some water at the bar before the trip. Instructions given in English by the owner. The leader for the tour only spoke a little English but that was not a problem at all. Each person was assigned a horse based on size and experience. Horses are well groomed and well taken care of. Traveled on a path to the beach ( no asphalt road riding). The leader kept a nice pace and never felt rushed. Stopped at two different beach area where the leader took pictures of each group. Last stop was at a high ridge to view the sunset. Traveled different route back. Overall the best tour we have done on the island (6 trips to Aruba over the 6 years). Highly recommend the experience for all people. Thank you

This is the BEST horseback riding experience! I was terrified of riding alone and the tour guide Nelson made me feel comfortable and at ease. Nelson went over and above to make our ride enjoyable! We WILL be doing this again on our return
Kim_B, Feb 2025
I was not impressed with our tour guide. He wasn’t friendly at all. It was our first time riding and he was rude to my daughter. The horses seemed frustrated and I felt bad for them. The beaches they take you to are over run with trash. It just wasn’t a great experience.
Donna_W, Aug 2024
We were led to believe this was a guided tour and we would see wildlife. We saw not even a bird! The guide was a lively man who spoke no English and spoke not a word to let us know where we were or what we were seeing. We were back long before sunset. The driver was very nice and informative.
Nicole_C, Jul 2024
My group absolutely LOVED everything about this trip! Nelson our guide on the horse was so kind. He took so many photos for us and even kept stopping to check that everyone in our group was okay.
The horses themselves were great! You can tell they are well taken care of and loved.
Our driver and other guide (I forget his name) was wonderful as well. He matched each of us with what horse he thought was best. He explained everything in great detail and answered any questions we had.

It was exciting to see the “Arizona” side of the island. The horses were well behaved and seeing the ocean was a gorgeous addition! The tour guide stopped to take photos for everyone. That was very nice.
Julie_A, Apr 2024
Overall this excision was wonderful. They take you to places that you can’t see from the roads. The view was wonderful and our guide would stop at certain points and take pictures for us. I would highly recommend doing this excursion.

Vidya_S, Mar 2024
This was an awesome tour. Got to see some of the terrain that animals navigate. Had some great pics. Horses were very gentle.
Taylor_E, Sep 2023
We were told that the company would provide transportation, and we were given a time and date for pick up. We waited over 20 mins and they never showed.
Janet_S, Aug 2023
Loved the experience its worth it. Something different to do. The leader was great and entertaining - friendly.
Tabatha_L, Aug 2023
The sunset was absolutely beautiful! We had such a great time and our guide was extremely nice. Pick up and drop off from the resort. Will definitely recommend and hopefully get to come back and do it again!
Michiko_Y, Jul 2023
Started late and finished early. Not special stop for sunset and no photos opportunities and got bug bite on face so it was not the best.
Paula_V, May 2023
Our guide captured the essence of the entire ride with the pictures he took. Also a very relaxing way to end a hot day and soak in the awe of Aruba.
Kimberli_I, May 2023
It was a beautiful trip through the cacti and to the coast. The horses were well trained! I loved every minute of our ride!
Stacey_R, Apr 2023
