What To Expect
Experience St. Lucia's North Eastern coastline on a private, eco-friendly horseback tour. Explore two undeveloped beaches along forested and open trails, immersing yourself in the island's unspoiled nature. This tour is suitable for all skill levels, whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider. For the well-being of the horses, a weight limit of 220lbs per rider is enforced. Your personal guide will lead you through natural landscapes, ensuring your comfort and sharing insights about the area. For those interested, there's an optional opportunity to ride your horse into the ocean, provided sea conditions are calm. However, this may be affected by Sargassum seaweed, a natural occurrence in the Caribbean since 2011, which varies with the tide. As an outdoor activity, be prepared for possible rain during the tour. If dangerous weather is forecasted, we will contact you to reschedule. Your guide will provide water and take as many photos as you'd like. St. Lucia's climate includes a rainy season (June to December) with wet conditions, and a dry season (January to May) with drier trails but less greenery.

5.00My wife and I had an incredible time. I have never ridden a horse, but felt very comfortable thanks to the guide and how sweet the horses were. The views were amazing, the private nature of the tour was great, and riding on the horses while they swam in the ocean was so much fun. My wife and I loved it and would recommend it to anyone.
