5.00Everything about this outing was superb. From picking us up and saddling us up. First let me say these horses you can tell are extremely well cared for. Beautiful and healthy. Our guide Nelson was amazing and took us to the most beautiful scenery and even took pictures for us capturing unforgettable moment after moment. We have rode all over the world and this is tied with our #1 outing in Hawaii. Highly recommend!!!

5.00This is a wonderful experience. We did the private tour. Our guide Max was very helpful and informative with a great attitude. The horses we easy riding and Jesse James was always bringing up the rear making sure know one was left behind. The whole ride was fun and relaxing. If you’re a newbie or scared just let them know and they will make sure you feel confident when getting on that saddle. Recommended!!
A MUST DO!!

Great trip advisor reviews convinced me and this was the highlight of our trip! Nestor was our guide, amazing and we were very comfortable. Highly recommend this experience your family will remember forever.

5.00Nester is an amazing guide! This was without a doubt worth every penny. The horses are very tame and of course nester is an expert in monitoring them. Once we got to the top of the mountain, Nester even serenaded us with his beautiful singing voice! The views were amazing. It’s great to get a real life Aruba feel away from the touristy area. I highly highly recommend this activity!
Worth every penny. Amazing

5.00I got one on one sunset horseback riding tour and it was one of the best experiences of my life. The guy that runs it is simply amazing, whether you beginner or advance you will be impressed. He is like a horse whisperer. And has the biggest passion for horses.

5.00What a magical experience. I was skeptical if the higher cost of the private tour was worth it, and I am so glad we did it. I loved everything about it. Our guide loved his job and it showed. The trails we took were not in any popular/crowded area. So, you get to experience the natural beauty of Aruba in peace without a lot of people around. The entire trip I think we only saw three other people and they were on mountain bikes. The 1st part of the ride out in in beautiful desert setting then you are riding through the desert with the ocean, Spectacular. The mountain that went to had great views of the island and the ocean. And it was fun to have one of the ranch dogs Zoey tagged along the entire trip. We would defiantly do this again on our next trip to Aruba
