Great horseback Riding experience

5.00Captain Christal went out of her way to meet up with us when we had a bit of a mix-up getting to our location. She was a great source of information about the island. We had a great time horseback riding and would recommend the activity to any visitors!
Perfect day in Antigua

5.00We had a great experience with Crystal and her trainee. Pickup was very easy just off the pier and Crystal gave us some great info about the island on our short ride to the beach. Her driving skills are next level! She dropped us off a the beach, which was beautiful! Her trainee stayed with us the whole trip and even got us some extra beach time at the end of the horse ride. We got to go out into the water on the horse and then did our ride. There were restrooms and showers to rinse off after the beach. We brought pants and sneakers to wear on the actual ride. It was the perfect day! Would definitely book another experience with this tour group. They all made sure we had a great day! Bring some apples for the horses for the end of your ride, they will greatly appreciate it!
Great experience Horseback Riding

5.00My husband and I had a great time horseback riding on the beach. Firstly, our driver Jamal picked us up from Royalton Chic and was very friendly and knowledgeable about Antigua. He played us some Soca music and also showed us one of the 365 beaches, as well as explained the Antiguan flag. For the tour- the horse trainers were very friendly and charismatic, they made sure we were safe on the horses. Joel Christian led our tour at the front and was a delight, he was also very knowledgeable and told us some of the history of Antigua, such as it was named after a Spanish boat and that sugar crystals used to be the main export. Overall, it was great tour, would recommend anyone visiting Antigua to book.

Beach ride and swimming with horses

5.00We went to Antigua with AIDA and decided to go for a beach ride and swim with horses at Star Times Adventures. It all worked out great from start to finish. The guides are super friendly, speak perfect English and totally tried. The horses were well behaved, good and well groomed. We had a super great day!

5.00I give this company 5 Stars. They took very good care of my family and I over a very busy holiday weekend. They even made special accommodations for us when we wanted to stay longer at one of our stops. They helped us wash away excess sand after the excursion (which was a nice touch) and the CEO even came out to greet us and ask about our experience in the end. Hands down recommend this great crew for your next adventure.
A Magical, Once-in-a-Lifetime Beach Ride with Horses and Turtles
Vicki G,Dec 18, 2025

5.00Absolutely unforgettable experience. This was a small, intimate group with only four of us, which made the entire tour feel relaxed, personal, and special from start to finish. The guides were truly exceptional; knowledgeable, attentive, and wonderful with both the horses and our group. You could immediately tell how much they care about the animals and about creating a great experience for their guests. Riding along the beach was breathtaking, and swimming with the horses was pure magic, something we’ll be talking about for years. After the ride, we had about an hour to enjoy the waves on our own, and it felt like we had discovered a hidden paradise. There were fewer than ten people on the entire beach, and we were lucky enough to spot turtles swimming nearby, which made it even more special. Our guide, Naughty Captain Crystal, was the absolute highlight; charming, funny, and full of personality. She made everyone feel comfortable, kept the mood light and fun, and added so much joy to the experience. If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime beach ride that feels exclusive, well-run, and genuinely magical, this is it. Highly recommend.

2.00The driver to the event was amazing. Showed us all around the island because the horse back adventure was running behind. The horse back riding seemed like 45 minutes of riding on the road 15 minutes riding on the beach. Then when we got back they asked if we wanted a picture with us on the horse in the water. We are horse people and did not want to put the animals through any more. If you have never been on a horse you probably would enjoy it.
