Great excursion

Angela_G, Mar 2026

My husband and I booked this excursion for our day in Aruba while on a cruise. It was an amazing experience, and we would definitely book it again! The staff was fantastic (including our driver that picked us up), and the ride was breathtaking.

This was my first time...

Chanel_O, Mar 2026

This was my first time but a good experience. I was scared in the beginning —The staff guided me and everyone else, every step of the way! I also loved the length of the duration , anything longer than that would have been draining.

Family fun!

Jacqueline_B, Feb 2026

Very fun experience. Went with our 2 daughters. Everyone felt safe. Great view as of the dessert and ocean. Just the right length of time on horseback for a beginner! Helpful guides.

A Calm, Confidence-Building Experience My Daughter Loved

Tracy_W, Jan 2026

My daughter did this excursion and absolutely loved it. She felt comfortable and confident the entire time, which says a lot. The horses were calm, well cared for, and clearly treated with respect. The pace wasn’t rushed, so she was able to enjoy the scenery and the experience instead of feeling pushed along. Riding along the beach was peaceful and memorable for her. She came back relaxed, smiling, and talking about it nonstop.

Thank you for making our...

Thank you for making our first horseback riding an unbelievable experience! The crew is highly knowledgeable about the horses, one of the crew members knew exactly what to assign each rider to a specific horse. Our head tour guide was sensational, she explained with detailed directions. Everyone at Hoofs of Love was wonderful and amazing! My family and I would love to try the sunset ride on the next trip. Thank you so much!
