This was by far the best horseback riding experience that we have ever had. I road Coco boy and my husband rode Spirit they both was wonderful horses 🐎 our tour guide was great. He took us riding through the forest well that's what it looked like to me. We went down hills and up hills. We ended up at a private beach were we raced each other and Coco Boy smoked Spirit and he didn't like it, so he tried to bite him. You should run to do this tour. We ride horse a lot all over the world and this one was the BEST. TY 😊

Great horse ride. Would say the horses & terrain make it not ideal for someone who has never ridden before. Our guide let us gallop through the Forrest which was amazing. The beach itself is nice. The waterfall is very secluded but pretty. Worth the money!

Everything about this activity was phenomenal and well worth the money. From the prompt pick up at the resort, to the fresh coconuts cut open for us on the beach, we felt so taken care of on the excursion. My horse and guide were both super patient and kind to me on my first time riding a horse. I loved every minute of this excursion and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a more private activity where you don’t feel like just another tourist. Thanks guys!

This was such a great experience. Andre picked me up and dropped me off which was such a nice touch especially since my accommodation was quite far. He shared points of interest along our ride that were super interesting and took me to a beautiful waterfall! Paul was a wonderful guide through the jungle and beach, he took great pictures and shared so much great information. If you’re having trouble picking an excursion- look no further, this experience provides a little bit of everything you’re looking for!

I truly can’t put into words how great of a time I had!!! I’ve done a few horseback trails in different countries, and I can confidently say this was the best one and I don’t ever think another company will be able to beat the experience I had with them!! Now I can’t promise everyone will have the exact same experience as me as I got lucky and booked on a day no one else booked and my horse was named lucky, how cool! The view alone on the east coast was so breathtakingly beautiful, that alone would make this tour worth it!!! Not to mention you’ll get extra lucky if Jhudai is your guide! Dress the part, go have fun and learn some new things! Bring a mango with you because the horses love them!!!

The kids that led the tour were fantastic!!!! Horses made 2 runs back to back so was tough! Horses were led most of the way. Very very rocky 1/2 of trail, walking literally through vines and close to trees/brush. Mango was stubborn horse. Saddle loosened x2. Almost fell twice. Walked at the end on the way back….didnot trust getting back on. It was steep and hot!

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you felt uncomfortable through out your tour. We will continue to work on improvements to make this the best tour possible.

Our favorite tour of all we did. Family enterprise. Loved that it wasn’t just horseback riding. Pointing out the plants that were used for culinary and medicinal purposes and even a tree bloom that the kids use in school for glue. Going down to the beach where they cut down fresh and dried coconuts so we could taste fresh coconut juice and dried coconut. At the end of the ride we got to go to the stunning Dennery falls.

Thank you for your review, and thank you even more for choosing East Coast Riding Stable. It was our pleasure spending this time with you. Glad we were able to make your vacation memorable!

These are the nicest people ever! They were very accommodating and friendly. We loved going to Dennery Falls because we had it all to ourselves. Diamond Falls, on the other hand, is packed with tourists. Locals call Dennery Falls a hidden gem. It’s a bit of a drive from the Rodney Bay area, but I’m glad we went.

Thank you so much for coming. We enjoyed every minute you spent with us. So glad to hear that this was a wonderful experience for you. Thank you for the review.

The whole experience was fabulous from pick up to drop off. The horses were amazing and riding from the jungle onto the beach and hearing the roaring sound of the Atlantic ocean was incredible. It was a lovely thing to do as a family, we had some who had ridden before and a couple of us who had never really been on a horse before and the experience was suitable for all levels.
After the ride we were taken by car to the beautiful waterfalls to cool off and swim, and the falls were spectacular. The team really did look after us all day !

Highly recommend this family owned business. They are professional, very kind and knowledgeable. They picked us up at the cruise port and ensured we returned on time. We went horseback, riding, cruised the island, hiked, swam at a waterfall and had a mud bath at the sulphur hot springs. They even gave us bananas, juice, water and had a coconut waiting for us! Don’t miss out on this experience.

What an amazing personalized riding experience. I’m back at home and still in awe of this excursion. Communication is great; answered all my questions leading up to date. They provide pickup and drop off at your location. We started our ride with amazing views of the Atlantic going down a hill into trails that led into a Sugar Plantation/ruins, Banana and Plantain fields and then down around rivers/trails in back country to the beach area. Surf was too rough to “swim” but they still had a safe area to play in the water bareback with the horses where the river met the ocean and I soaked up every minute of playing in that surf. Ended our ride with a gallop on the beach and then back up the same trail we started on, to the farm. The waterfall was breathtaking and so peaceful. Had the beach and waterfall to ourselves. I was also surprised by the two kids that were our guides showing us local plants and teaching us what they were used for. Experienced a cocoa plant and drinking out of a huge coconut (way heavier than I thought they would be, lol). Ran by such lovely people; will be on the list of places I want to return to and will ride with again.

We had a great time with Keith on the horseback tour and the waterfall trip. He's incredibly knowledgeable of all the local plants, fruit and history. The horses were well mannered easy to ride (even for a beginner). We would highly recommend this excursion!

Scott_C, Feb 2023
Great time! I wanted a "lively" horse and thats what I got. WE asked for and received a challenging ride. Rode through a banana plantation and was able to canter on the beach. (Thus, not recommended for inexperienced riders). Our guide was wonderful. He knew the island and his horses. The car trip afterwards to the falls was amazing, and our driver fought through traffic (crazy traffic on St Lucia) to get us back to our cruise ship with plenty of time.

Keith and his team made our day really fun. We learnt a lot about st lucia and had a ton of fun. It was lovely meeting you all.

This was a lot of fun. They drove all the way across the island to pick us up at our resort. The guides were very friendly and professional. They had a lot of experience and the horses were quite gentle.
My wife and I are both over 60, Ninety minutes is a long time to stay in the saddle if you haven't ridden for a while. The terrain is quite rocky and steep in some places, the horses handled it well, but there is a lot of shifting your weight, and holding on tightly in some places, it can be somewhat physically strenuous.
The guides know the history of the area quite well and point out quite a few interesting places and the history of them. One of the high-lights was our guide climbed a coconut tree, and used a machete to get fresh coconut juice for us directly from fresh from the tree coconuts.
If it is a sunny day, I recommend sun-screen and a wide brimmed hat. I got a little redder than expected.

Just as advertised! We found East Coast Horseback on St. Lucia’s government site for approved COVID tours. Our family was on a cruise and easily included the pickup/drop off from/to port. Taxi driver had a sign with our name at the info stand. Wife and I rode with our two kids 6 and 9 who had never ridden. Our guide Keith has 14 years of experience and had two younger helpers to walk along and ensure the safety of the kids. Adults were able to walk, trot and canter on occasion around ruins, tropical farm fields, through swampy mangroves and along a natural beach. Amazing natural diversity in such a small area. A private tour that made us feel we had the island to ourselves. Super fun.

The tour was great. I took a cruise and had to be picked up at the port, the tour provided transportation with a great driver for the 30-40 minute drive across the island to the east coast stables. Once we arrived we were greeted with friendly smiles and told by our driver he would be back when the excursion was over. After filling some waivers and using the bathroom(five minutes) we were up on our horses and heading towards the scenic sites. We saw farms/old mills that were used back during the sugar cane days, we saw several historic sites before getting to the ocean and enjoying a freshly taken off the tree coconut by our tour leader who climbed the tree faster than ive seen monkeys climb. Overall the tour was amazing and I would 100% recommend this tour for anyone who wants a real local tour experience without the formalities and a price of a royal Caribbean booked shore excursion. The only caution I would have is that if you’ve never ridden a horse and/or have high anxiety the paths used were slightly rocky, and could make you fearful that perhaps the horse might slip. Did the horse ever slip no! But my dad whom I was with said he was nervous about 50% of the time, due to the terrain. Hopefully this review helps you decide to book the excursion, you won’t be disappointed

I had a unique experience touring the historical sugar mill site and banana plantation on a lovely horse named Treasure. Our last stop was the beach by the Atlantic ocean. Fresh coconut juice was served along the way. Water and fruits were offered at the end of the trip. Both owner and guide are super nice.

One of the best things you can Experience while in St. Lucia. You tour through a Forrest along side a river. Meet and greet locals while touring! Riding the horses on the beach! Amazing experience.

We were very disappointed with this tour. The horseback riding was unbelievably bad. During the tour, our guide (Rohan) walked the whole time. He did not ride a horse. I’ve never been on a horseback riding tour that the guide walked in front of our horses. We could not go faster than a slooow walk. He also decided to put a leader rope on my horse because my horse was very lazy and does not like to move. I told him I do not like being lead around but he did not listen. My husband told him I was not a 4 year old who needed to be lead around. I’ve ridden many horses - running, galloping, trotting, herding cattle, etc. It was very embarrassing for me to be lead around. After 25 minutes, he finally took the lead off.
Before we booked this tour, I asked several questions. It was stated in the ad that the horseback riding is between 1-3 hours long. It took 2 requests, but I finally received a definitive answer stating it would be 2 hours long of actual horseback riding. I wanted to have 2 hours of actual riding time not sitting on a beach for a large portion of time. I love riding horses.
During the tour, Rohan wanted us to sit on the beach watching the ocean for a long stretch of time. So disappointing when they told me this would not happen. The beach had junk on it and horse dung. Who would be interested in sitting in that? Nothing was ever cleaned up. Our actual ride was 1 hour 15 minutes. We arrived back 15 minutes early. The horses never reached a fast pace during the whole tour.
There were many biting bugs during the ride through the trees. There was no mention that we should bring bug repellent for the ride. My ankles were eaten up - over 30 bites on both my ankles. I was very uncomfortable for several days.
I would not recommend this tour to anyone.
Response from Host, Feb 2020
Sorry to hear of your disappointment in our tour. It is sad that you had the opportunity to speak with me directly on the day of the tour and you did not express your concerns. However everyone is entitled to their opinions, and we appreciate the feedback nonetheless. We will continue to move forward and work on improving our customer satisfaction. Just one thing we need to let you know is that we are not responsible for the seaweed which washes ashore on the beach. This is a public beach and not the property of ECRS. Again we are deeply sorry that you did not enjoy this experience. Thank you for coming and all the best to you.

La passeggiata è stata una vera scoperta delle bellezze dell'isola. Dalla coltivazione di banane, alla foresta e al mare, con degustazione del cocco appena raccolto! Super! La guida molto preparata e disponibile a spiegare tutto strada facendo, e i cavalli dolcissimi. Insomma super consigliata l'esperienza, sono davvero contenta di averla fatta!
