Amazing experience - It was so beautiful and worth every penny!! I would do it again in a heart beat! The staff were so amazing and attentive and the ti horses were very well trained! They make sure you get a horse based on your skill level and it’s very relaxing and the scenery is stunning! The staff also did an amazing job on taking pictures and videos at every stop! Definitely try it when in Aruba!

Great ride with very good horses and top guide - Great riding tour, very good horses, willing and sure-footed despite not quite so easy terrain. Since it was a private tour, we didn't have to take into account not so saddle-tight guests and could ride all gaits. Our guide Candy was also very good and guided us great.

Fun Ride with Jesus and Candi! - We had such a fantastic time on our horseback ride down the coast! The scenery was breathtaking, with stops at beautiful spots like a natural bridge that made the experience even more memorable. Jesus and Candi were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the ride, and it was clear how much Candi cares for and works closely with the horses. We’ve done horseback riding a few times before, but this was by far our favorite. The highlight was getting the chance to trot along the trail—it added just the right amount of excitement to the peaceful ride. Highly recommend this experience!

Great horseback riding experience! - Our group ride with Jesus ended up being a private one! We rode for a long time, visited many beautiful locations and even got to gallop! We got tons of great pics. I would highly recommend - especially for those with some previous riding experience. Jesus was a great guide!

Fun, Safe, and Scenic Horseback Riding Experience - We had a wonderful horseback riding tour on Aruba’s north coast with Jesus and Jeanrick. They were entertaining, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had a great time. The horses were well cared for, and there were plenty of opportunities to stop for pictures along the way. A memorable experience—we’ll definitely try to do it again on our next visit!”

Easy for beginners - I was very hesitant as I am not an experienced rider but my group wanted to do this excursion. The guides were very helpful and the horses were friendly which made the experience nicer. The ride itself was mostly calm with a few areas where the horses would gallop which was fun. I would like to point out that the stops we did were mostly for pictures and you didn’t get to explore if that was something you were interested in. You do not get off the horse during the excursion. There were also other people in our group who were more experienced and the guides allowed them to do extra things which I’m sure they enjoyed. Highly recommend to those who are hesitant - you will enjoy it!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! - This tour was the highlight of our entire trip! Beautiful ocean views, well trained and cared for horses, and the most amazing guides (JeanRick and Candy). They made everyone feel safe and comfortable, no matter their riding experience. Special thanks to JeanRick. He was funny, attentive, and brought great energy and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He also took the time to snap some photos of our group along the way, which we really appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!
