5.00If you’re looking for a horseback ride with a super chatty guide narrating Aruban history and naming every plant and animal along the way—this isn’t it. But if you want a peaceful, beautifully paced ride where your guide quietly leads you through stunning landscapes, happily snaps a million gorgeous photos of you on your horse with the ocean and sunset as the backdrop, and even lets you gallop for a bit—this is absolutely the ride for you. My wife and I had a fantastic experience! Our guide, Pedro, was wonderful—calm, attentive, and clearly great with the horses. After a busy day at the beach, this quiet ride at Sunset through the cactus, down to the shoreline, and back was exactly what we needed. So zen. So relaxing. And the horses were beautiful and clearly well cared for. Next time we’re on the island, we’re definitely booking their longer excursion!
amazing! fun and nice...

5.00My boyfriend and I loved this horseback riding experience! We were picked up from our hotel (free of charge, we made sure to tip though) and taken to the stables which were so beautiful and well-kept. Our guide was knowledgable and kind. This tour allows you to see a new side of the island with it's unique landscape and take some great photos on the beach with your partner/friends while on the horses. I'd definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore the natural beauty of the island in a fun way. :)
