The overall experience was great. The lead (older) man was a pleasant, kind, helpful and informative man. The young kid assisting the older man was rude to the horses, poking at them from time to time, and had a flippant attitude. When you get on/off a horse, you normally mount from the left side of the horse. Once for me and once for my husband, they had us dismount, and I'm pretty sure once, even mount, on the right side of the horse. This is very awkward. I managed to do OK. We had on HOKA shoes and they are large at the front of the shoe, so they were difficult to get in and out of the stirrup. NOTE TO SELF: Never wear HOKAs to horseback ride. Because of this, my husband's foot got stuck in the stirrup, plus, the kid had him on the wrong side of the horse, even though my husband told him "this is the wrong side" he didn't do anything about it. My husband ended up falling because he couldn't get his foot out of the stirrup and additionally was on the wrong side of the horse, and ended up falling onto his back. Praise God, there was no injury or even no pain the next morning, but it could have been disastrous. SO, if someone wants you to get on or off on the wrong side of the horse, be sure to speak up! And don't wear HOKAs. The older man was very helpful to get my foot out of the stirrup, but the kid was clueless. Now, the older man gave us a great tour of the ex-sugar mill and he was informative and gave a great experience. I was tempted to give this a 4 star rating, but wanted to make sure they knew they need to improve in these area. I would do this ride again, the horses were great, just don't get on or off the horse on a side you are not comfortable with. And don't wear wide shoes that won't easily come out of the stirrups when needed.

Tour guides did a nice job with the history and with the horses since we are not avid riders. The stables are about an hour from Rodney Bay.

Not your usually ride. Varied terrains. We went across creeks, up and down hills. Still easy for inexperienced riders. The history information and sites was informative and fascinating. We saw iguana, sampled spices, fresh coconut harvested by our guide. The horses were healthy and full of character. Our guide Judaism was delightful and attentive. I'm an active 70 yrs young and It was perfect for my abilities.

This was a great ride down to the beach and back, very relaxing and informative. My kids loved it, especially feeding the horses banana peels at the end. I was a bit nervous at first, but Spirit is a good horse, and riding him down the beach was definitely a bucket list experience. Many thanks to Paul and his team, who went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable on horseback.

Very friendly people. I was the only person riding that day and they knew I was very experienced and allowed me to canter/run quite a bit.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for riding with us. Glad you enjoyed. Thank you for your review.
Richard_B, Dec 2025
Somewhat disappointing. Only an hour of actual riding. Interesting history of the area, nice young people, but the riding is limited to walking trails and a short stretch of beach. Expected more for $240. Horses are small.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback. We will work on anything that needs improving to make this the best experience for our guests.

This is an incredible experience, worth every penny! This is a family run business. Andre picked me up near my Air B&B and took me to the location. There we were greeted by his son, Jhudai and family friend, Paul. I got on my horse for the day named Cocoa Boy and was guided around the remains of one of the old sugar mills. Paul was very knowledgeable and kept things moving. From there, Paul left us and Jhudai took me on a tour which was amazing. He is wonderful to be around and so funny. He is also very knowledgeable regarding the land and living off of the land. We drank fresh coconut water and ate fresh coconuts. We snacked on palm root. Jhudai also tests your comfort level with the horse and eventually we were able to do some actual galloping which was one of the most thrilling experiences I've ever had. The horses were beautiful! The scenery was breathtaking and it truly felt like a one of a kind adventure.

This was one of the best excursions we did on the island. The communication with Kerline was seamless when she arranged pick up from our Airbnb. The driver Andre got us there and back safely and on time for our next excursion. The horses were great and spirited. Loved this tour! Would def recommend!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for riding with us. We are glad you enjoyed. We look forward to seeing you again on your next trip to St. Lucia!
Chandra_R, Nov 2025
Great experience. Andre and Kerline were great hosts, and their team of guides were great as well: very friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable at every point of the tour. 10 out of 10 - I definately recommend.

Having a guide walk the horse is not what was expected. The destination is a beach littered with garbage. Total ripoff.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately after reviewing your case, there is cause for suspicion. You mentioned that you were experienced, and the guide offered to remove the lead rope from the horse, you said it was okay and that you were enjoying the scenery. Your wife on the other hand was quite uncomfortable and shaky, which is why a guide was stationed at her side throughout the whole tour. If you’re an experienced rider, you have the option to speak with your guides and let them know what you’re comfortable doing. If you’d like to canter, gallop, trot, go in the water, you tell them. We cater the tour to your needs. But we appreciate your feedback nonetheless, and we will continues to work at making this an exceptional experience for our guests. Therefore we welcome good and bad feedback.

Exactly as advertised. The drive from the cruise port over the mountain was beautiful. I am not a horsewoman, so a guide led me on the horse through the rainforest and to a stunning atlantic beach with giant waves. This was a great value and beautiful excursion.

This was one of the most incredible experiences that I had while visiting St. Lucia. My tour guide Paul and his charming young assistant, were not only amazing guides, but genuinely great people. Paul was so knowledgeable of the island and all the history. The horseback ride itself was amazingly beautiful. I toured through historic sites, banana and coconut groves, and then out to the beautiful ocean. I cannot recommend this excursion enough! Please do yourself and book this!

Nice ride and information received. Horse back riding was very rocky as was up and down rocky trail.

Ceslie_H, May 2025
Some of the most breathtaking views I’ve ever seen—this was truly an unforgettable experience! The host, Jhudai, made it even better. I had never ridden a horse through such varied terrain before, but Jhudai’s calm confidence and expertise made me feel completely safe and at ease. Plus, his great sense of humor kept the trip fun and lighthearted. I booked this excursion last minute and couldn’t be happier that I did. It’s honestly a must-do! Everyone I met, including the taxi driver, was incredibly kind and welcoming. I’m already looking forward to booking more adventures with this company!

From the first time I contacted the tour operator before booking, I found them to be friendly, responsive, and efficient. I was picked up in the Port of Castries even though I was the only client from that ship and driven to and back from the location about 30 minutes away. My riding guide Rohan was friendly, knowledgeable and patient. I very much enjoyed the horse ride through the forest and down to the beach and back. Although I am not very experienced, I felt very well taken care of. The horses looked healthy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend this activity in St. Lucia!

We had a good time Jhudai was an awesome tour guide. He gave us some historical information about the island as we were horse back riding. He was a pleasure I would book with them again.
