Exciting for all!! A must-do activity! - This was the best horse ride I have ever been on! I am an experienced rider, so, often when I go on rides with my less-experienced friends/family, the rides are nice but nothing special. This ride was quite the contrary! The ride was exciting for all!! In our group of 6 we had new riders to experienced and all felt it was the highlight of our vacation!! The horses were beautiful and the guides were fantastic!!! This was not just a plod-along ride. The scenery was gorgeous and the guides were so great at being sure we got photos to remember the awesome time!!! Can't say enough about Gold Mine Ranch!!!! Thanks for the great time!!

Nay Nay - Horses were so awesome, amazing creatures. The staff was friendly and informative. I felt safe riding. Probably 75% desert and 25% water? Plenty of photo opportunities along the way!!!!

10/10, highly recommended!!! - So we were blessed with being the only 2 people on our tour and we were on our honeymoon. The horse ranch sent a shuttle to our hotel (Tarmijin) and made the whole experience stress free. Our driver was fantastic, giving us insight into our surroundings. We loved that he pointed out where he went to school and was so friendly. At the ranch, it was awesome. There are lockers on site and the horses were beautiful! My wife has experience and I had none. I quickly felt comfortable and the guide ensured I was safe and that I could ride the horse. He would circle around in the beginning and give small tips to make my experience better. You ride to the old mine, a natural bridge, walk in the ocean, and then up a large hill in an area thick with cactus, and the guide takes your phone to take pictures along the way. My wife and I have a great picture of us kissing on the horse while the horses are standing in the water. The guide would direct you and the horse to ensure a great picture. The guide pointed out owls and most adorable, the ranch dog Rosa, follows along, keeping her distance, but wagging her tail the whole time. My wife was thrilled that the guide allowed you to gallop and allowed us to ride at a pace we wanted or were comfortable with. After, we were again provided a shuttle to our hotel. We cannot recommend enough! Our friend is going in a month to use the same company after our trip. Novice or experienced, the horses are so well trained, you will enjoy it at whatever your skill level is.

Healthy, Loved Horses! - Healthy horses (Paso Finos who do well in the heat and have smooth gaits for new riders) in good condition who behaved perfectly. Very skillful guides. I was prepared to not go on this riding adventure if the horses appeared at all unhealthy or mistreated as I am an animal lover & horse owner. I enjoyed every minute!
