5.00So much fun and saw so much of the island that would have not been seen otherwise. They took pictures in amazing places but I wish we had a family picture on horseback by the beach instead of individuals but still amazing to have any kind of picture. Such a fun experience!

5.00Highly recommend. They picked us up at the resort. Horses were great as were the gauchos. Beautiful scenic ride along the ocean and into mountains. Definitely worth the trip.
False info: informed trip 90- 120 mins. Total 59 mins. Jesus guide spent entire time on his phone & rude. Terribl Waste of time

1.00This was supposed to be the highlight of my trip to Aruba. My husband and I were the first to arrive. The other 2 on the ride were late and so we left late. My husband was not going ride but was informed by 2 staff members that the ride would be 1.5 hrs. Much to his surprise I returned just under an hour!! The lead guide, Jesus/Jose spent the entire time on his phone sharing the experience with whoever he was speaking with- Extremely Rude to say the least. When the "photo op" came he was yelling, unnecessarily to both the riders and horses. When we returned to the ranch and dismounted, there was no acknowledgement they just put the horses away. If you're into HACK riding experience this is the place!! Disappointing Waste of Time!!
Great ride on comfortable and sure-footed Paso Fino 🐎.

5.00The ride was fantastic! Because the group was already full, we booked a private tour for two as safe riders through our hotel Bucuti & Tara. Candy, our nice guide, gave me the lively 3-year-old mare Diamond. She was very diligent but easy to regulate. I had the best ride ever on Aruba here. Step, trot and a lot of galloping. Candy saw my pleasure in galloping and made it possible wherever the path allowed, even next to him instead of behind. He shot great photos for us under the Natural Bridge, on the beach and in front of the gold mine ruin. He also made sure we were fine and we were not overwhelmed. During a short break there was cool water and the horses could put their legs in the seawater. Diamond splashed so much with pleasure that I got quite wet. But that doesn't matter at 32°C and was a lot of fun. The horses are extremely sure-footed and we galloped up some rocky slopes. Respect, because I felt safe at all times. I thank Candy for the great mare and the adventurous experience in the breathtaking nature. Round trip were also very punctual and we would love to come back!!!
