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!

Best trail ride! - This was the best vacation trail ride that I have ever paid for. JeanRick and Candy were wonderful guides. We totally loved the scenery and appreciated the photo stops. And Yes... you actually get to gallop up the sand dune! We also did a fair bit of trotting on the way back to the ranch. This was not like any other vacation trail ride where it is all walking in a line.

A Must Do Excursion - This was one of the best horseback riding experiences I have ever been on. Jeanrick and Candy did a fabulous job. The scenery was breathtaking and we got so many pictures. One thing you need to know is if you wanna wear a hat it has to have a chinstrap. We did not get to ride our horses in the water, as the pictures showed, which was disappointing but this was definitely the highlight of our trip.

Great way to tour the island! - We had a wonderful time on our horseback riding tour with Jeanric and Candy! The sites were stunning especially the baby natural bridge and views of the coastline. The horses also seemed well cared for and were a ton of fun to ride. They let you gallop on this tour which is always a plus for an experienced rider. Overall we had a wonderful time and the guides take lots of pictures for you as well!
