Great Time! - This was a great tour and my family of 4 (2 kids 22 and 21) really enjoyed it. It was easy to find our guide and it was a quick 15 minute airconditioned car ride to the stables at Mahogany Bay. We signed waivers and put on helmets and were on our way. We rode through lush forest and ended up on a beautiful secluded beach where we took pictures and then rode the horses through the water. I would highly recommend! A few notes: - you do not have to be an experienced equestrian to take this tour but you do want to be comfortable around horses. -Its hot so wear loose comfy clothes. You dont need to wear long pants. I was in shorts and a tank top -Wear shoes that can get wet and dirty. You can take them off for the ride through the water but they still get dirty.

Great quick excursion for cruise ship passengers - My husband and I really enjoyed this! We didn't want to do a long excursion so we chose just the horseback, and ended up being the only people on the ride. Kiven was our guide who was really nice and the horses were great. We admired how green and beautiful the forest is, and got to see several blue crabs along the way. Once we got to the small beach, Kiven and our other guide set us up for several pictures. We then got to walk through the water (up to the horse's abdomen) which we loved! Thank you for a fun time!

Horse backing in Roatan - Can’t beat horse back riding along the Roaton cost. This was an amazing excursion and experience. Justin, our excursion guide did a fantastic job with keeping everyone safe. Helmets were provided and all safety measures were followed. Be sure to exit the port and get to the Main Street area to locate your tour transport operator. It is very busy and crowded and can seem confusing once you arrive at the port. All in all, this was an amazing excursion and experience!

So fun - This experience was super fun. I wish it was longer. Please take a fanny pack or a cross bag to put your belongings in because there are no lockers. You will be wearing a helmet just so the girls know, and wear your water shoes.

Pretty fun would do again - I asked them how to get picked up before I went. They told me where to meet. That was great because on the cruise I had no internet. They did message me on whatsapp a day before I arrived but I didn't see it because I had no internet. The driver was great. The horses were great. The trail was fun. No one stopped for photos. I didn't get any pictures on my horse Other people were taking them while they were on the horse.

Great family activity - Unlike other excursions in Roatan, this was only a 15 minute drive from the cruise port. We had a nice air conditioned van (and actually had some space, instead of packing as many people in as possible). All of the employees were nice, the horseback riding in the ocean was amazing. This was a good option for kids, my 4 and 9 year old loved it. We went very slow, so if you’re looking for a faster paced tour, this might not be the right one for you. They also had a photographer follow and take a lot of pictures to sell at the end for a reasonable price. I would recommend this, especially for families.

Driver was late but horse back riding was good - The person was suppose to pick us up at 8am was about 20 minutes late. The other drivers for the other tours were telling us they were always late. When he got there he was kind but we did have to walk a bit to get to the car. The horse back riding was great. Be ready to pay tips to everyone since they do not seem to share. Otherwise they were kind and knowledgeable about the horse.
