Then, there was the beauty of the beach at sunrise. Hands down, the best experience we have had while in aruba. Such beauty and rock solid horses. Go for the sunrise tour. You will not be disappointed.

5.00Great people and a wonderful event. It was fun, but do not expect to be walking in the water with your horse like we did. It is just a photo opp of you on your horse in front of the water.
⭐ Amazing Experience with Friendly Staff – A Must Do in Aruba!

5.00This was such a great experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and professional from start to finish. They made us feel comfortable immediately—it truly felt like we were with family and in very good hands. The entire experience was well organized and enjoyable, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Wear clothes that you don’t mind getting a little dirty and be sure to bring sunglasses. Aruba can be very windy, and during the ride the sand does blow into your face, so sunglasses really help.
