Nelson was our to tour leader. He was awesome. He took good care of our group and made sure we were all comfortable with our horses. Nice ride to the beach.

The tour guide took many pictures of us on our horses. The scenery was beautiful and the ride was fun.

It was my husbands first time on a horse! He ended up riding Barbaro, who just wanted to do his own thing, lol. The tour guide was friendly and the other worker picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. We took the 7am tour, and it was gorgeous! The sun had just come up so it wasn’t too hot yet. Overall, great experience!

Truly the most exciting YET relaxing experience! This will be a core memory. My husband and I were given a private tour—either by chance or because our reservation was only for 2. Max and Nelson are extremely kind and knowledgeable. Good people. The horses are silly and oh so adorable. Wear sunscreen and drink water! It is HOT (duh). Worth every dollar.

I went with my 23 year old son, also a first time rider. We went early in the day 700am pickup before it got too hot. I rode Victoria. The guide who led us is named Nelson and I thought he was great. Victoria(my horse) wanted to be the leader, but we followed closely behind Nelson and his horse. Everything Victoria was trailing the lead horse by 10 yards she would start trotting until her nose was in the lead horses rump. She definitely has a personality. The horses know every inch of the trail and I barely had to pull the reins. My son and I had a great experience. If I had children on horseback I would probably try a horseride on the beach. This particular trail is very rocky with beautiful desert scenery(cactus) until you arrive at the windward ocean side of the island. Thank goodness the horses could walk this trail blindfolded. This excursion is the real McCoy... not pretty but authentic.

The horseback riding was fantastic. We rode through the desert and we were surrounded by cactus. Then we rode the horses on shore past the ocean. The views were amazing. It was a safe and wonderful experience.

Horseback riding to the cove was wonderful. My horse, John, was little bit lazy and always fell behind but we had a great time. Tour guide was wonderful and took us to scenic locations and took pictures for us.

Wonderful experience riding in what feels like a dessert with all the amazing cactus. Your not riding on the beach just a trail to the cove and back but a fun experience! Great company to deal with as I accidentally booked a date when we wouldn't be here and didn't realize it until the morning of but they squeezed us in at a later time. Super kind...thank you!!
