We had a fantastic sunset ride with our family. The guide Mr Nelson was amazingly experienced, and it was perfectly fine with some of the riders being advanced and some being first timers. The horses were very calm and the view was amazing over the beach on the north side of the island. Would 100% do this again

Rancho Notorious Aruba was a wonderful horseback experience. It was just minutes away from the RIU hotel and the staff was so professional. Nelson and Saya were very attentive during our beach sunset horse ride. I highly recommend them for all tourists visiting Aruba.

The views were amazing! Nelson was so patient with it being only my second time riding by a horse. If you’re visiting Aruba, make sure to go for a horseback ride. Sunset was perfect!

I’m not a fan of horseback riding but booked this because my daughter loves it. I was very nervous at the onset because the horses have to cross over very rocky and uneven terrain. The horses are so incredibly well trained that they are able to navigate even around boulders without Scraping the rider against them. The horses listened perfectly and they take you out on a path to see an isolated part of the island that you would be unlikely to see otherwise that looks like a completely different world than the resort area. The only sounds are the horses’ hooves and the lapping of the ocean as you get close to it. Highly recommend!

The breeze, the waves, and the gentle rhythm of our horses made this an unforgettable experience. We had a great time.

A guide should have a experienced rider in the front and back. Our group only had one guy in the front. Didnt help someone struggling and didnt speak english. We saw another company on our trail and the group had 3 instructors and they looked very well organized. Not good for first timers. Skip Horses were well kept though. And the trail was nice

The views are gorgeous but our guide spoke no English which made it difficult to communicate. Also, one of the riders hadn't been on a horse before and would get very far behind so we had to keep waiting. We'd ride for a minute then stop for a minute.
