Disappointing to say the least

1.00Our family of 3 was very disappointed with this experience. We were looking forward for it to be a family experience. Our teenage daughter has not been riding before and was very scared at first. We wanted to kind of stay in line together. No one paid attention, no one came to give her assistance. Our tour was scheduled to 5 PM, we were advised to be there 15 minutes prior and still did not get started until 45 minutes later. We did not even make it to the beach for photos, just to the nearby rocks, I am assuming because the crew started late to begin with. Every photo was rushed and you got the feeling this was not to please the customer, but just to make money on tourists. I am so sorry to have to write this review, I always write pleasant reviews for people who run an honest business and care. Save your money, spend a bit more and choose another crew.
Fun excursion with horses 🐎
