5.00This was a perfect addition to my trip to Aruba. I frequently ride horses as I travel to different countries and the stable/ranch here is really top tier. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the horses are well cared for and very well behaved. The tour itself is scenic and the photoshoot on the beach was an unexpected surprise. The guides double as seasoned photo specialists and they pose you and make sure you’re satisfied with what they take before you leave. This was a lovely surprise! Transportation to and from was also a breeze. Eunice and the rest of the team were able to accommodate my pick up at the last minute after there was an issue on the booking site that didn’t record my hotel info. They still managed to not only pick me up but also start on time and we arrived at the beach perfectly at the time of the sunset. I don’t often leave reviews but this glowing recommendation is well deserved. Book the experience, you will not be disappointed! Also, thanks for the restaurant recommendation last night, Eunice. The food was wonderful as promised! 💕
Highly recommend this tour

5.00If you are looking for a family friendly horse back riding excursion and this is the one. They provided transportation to and from our hotel. Hoofs of Hope is a wonderful organization. All the horses are well cared for and the guides are knowledgeable and friendly. They will take photos of your group once you arrive at the beach.
Beautiful experience. The...

5.00Beautiful experience. The guides are professional and knowledgeable. Don’t be scared!!! They teach you the basics of horse handling and the horses are well trained. Bring lots of sun screen and a cover up because you will be baking in the sun. This was my favorite part of the trip.
Aruba fun on horseback!!

5.00We had a party of 6. The company picked us up and dropped us off at our resort. Once we arrived, we signed our waiver and were weighed(so don’t lie about your weight when booking). We had different riding levels, from never been on a horse to working at a horse camp as a teen. The horses were mild mannered, falling into line behind each other. We had Merle and Pedro as our guides, they were the best. The entire ride was just over an hour, in the saddle the whole time. Don’t think we would want any longer.
Amazing

5.00It was our second time at this place. It was a wonderful experience of horse riding. The place is nice organized. The staff is very polite and kind not only to customers, but also to horses. You do not need horse riding experience to injoy this tour. We will definitely come here again.
Excellent experience
