Please see my review under Aruba Horseback Beach & National Park ride.
What an amazing experience! Truly a remarkable way to see the desert side of the island but also the ocean. And feeding the horses was awesome! The tour guide was impressive with the photos he took and it was really nice to feed the horses at the end!

My wife and I had an amazing time with our tour guide Max, even though my horse was temperamental; the experience was top notch. We got to see the coast line and travel a rocky trail not to adventurous but perfect for a beginner…. Thanks Max for an awesome experience

From beginning to end, this experience was unforgettable. Pilo was an amazing guide, very fun, informative, and took plenty of pictures. Our ride happened to be Valentine's day and we were the only people who signed up for a sunset ride.
Weather was perfect, with a beautiful sunset and a full moon coming up as we rode along the beach and countryside.
I rode Juanes, who is such a gentle horse. Scott rode Barbaro who has a huge loveable personality and smiled in every picture! Pilo and Nester were above and beyond. Nester serenaded Scott and I during our ride home only adding to this already amazing evening. He took us right to our Airbnb rather than the pickup/dropoff destination.
They gave us an unexpected memorable plaque from Rancho Notorious and the hospitality that we experienced here left us with unmeasurable gratitude.
Thank you!

It’s my third time booking the horseriding tours at Rancho Notorious. For me it’s the highlight of my (Aruba) vacation. The most wonderful place, with wonderful horses and a very experienced and kind tour guide. Would recommend for beginners and experienced riders!

We had a wonderful time. The views were beautiful and the landscape was so unique. Our guide, Nestor was excellent. He wanted to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and learning about our horse as we went.

Pick up from my hotel by Nestor was very punctual friendly knowledgeable about the island on the way to the 2 hour sunset horseback adventure. Filo was our guide who made us feel very relaxed on the ride. Great photo opportunities and information about the island. Horses very well cared for. I will be back next year.great memories.

Nestor was an incredible guide. He was very down to earth but also very professional. He made us feel safe and at ease while also keeping it plenty fun for us with endless jokes. The horses were easy on us too as they know the trails/ routine. They were beautiful horses and we were even able to feed them when we got back! The ride and views were just incredible, we will be making another reservation next time we return to Aruba!

The views on the trail were the best I've ever seen. The tour guide Nestor and Pilo were undescribably amazing. I have traveled to more than 25 states and have done horseback riding in each state...I have never had a better experience than this one. It is a must do in Aruba.
