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.

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.

5.00Highly recommend. My wife and I did the private beach ride. I had no prior experience, she had some, but they made it easy for me. Very professional. Riding the horse in the water was a highlight of our trip.
Do it!

5.00Lovely experience. I have my own horses so riding on holiday is not something we do. We booked a 2 hr hack to the beach with an option to swim in the sea. We don’t do that in Scotland as we would freeze! The horses are well fed well shod and the tack is always put on with care. Jorel our guide really cares for the horse and looks after them as well as us. The swim was fun which you do bareback. When we got back the horses are hosed down and given hay in their stable. We booked a taxi ourselves to get there but the stable would organise one if you wish. 100% recommend

5.00We had an amazing experience with Sandy Hoofs! Riding horses along the beach was absolutely beautiful, and every part of the experience felt relaxed, fun, and memorable. Jordan was a fantastic guide — friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. The horses are beautifully maintained as well. As horse people, we absolutely noticed and appreciated the level of care that goes into them. We enjoyed every minute and would absolutely recommend Sandy Hoofs to anyone visiting St. Lucia!
10/10 would book again!

5.00I loved the option to wear a helmet or not! This is truly private! It was my friend, myself and our guide who lead us on foot not on horseback and his sweet dogs. We enjoyed the sweet and well behaved horses! The ride took us to two different beaches and up and down inclines. The scenery was breathtaking. At the first beach, we walked along the sand near the water. At the second beach we rode our horses into the water (pretty deep). This was bareback after our guide took the saddles off. It was a truly amazing experience! Our guide Stefon was THE BEST! I recommend asking for him! He is truly a horse lover and has been working around horses for many years since age 7! I have done many excursions over the years and this has been one of my favorite of all time!
The best time!!

5.00This was a great experience and would definitely reccomend to all travellers staying near the area. The guide made me feel comfortable as a beginner with no experiences riding horses, was friendly and easy to talk to. The journey through the coastal area was beautiful.

5.00Great experience. The Guide Safron was excellent. A great rider and nice man.. the ride was just the 2 of us. I have experience riding. The other group was beginners. We walked the horses to the beach than trotted on the beach. We went up the mountain for a great view. After a break we came back to the beach. Now it was time to run. There I was galloping up and down the beach. He offered to walk in water, but i was tired. We returned to the corral very happy.
