Don’t miss this tour! - 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!

Great last Day - 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

Fantastic experience with Nestor, Pilo, Juanes, and Barbaro - 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!

Magical place - 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!

Incredible - 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!

Wow, beyond our expectations. I am speechless. - 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.

Fantastic horseback riding adventure! - My 15-year-old daughter and I had a FANTASTIC ride with Nestor to the beach and then the top of a hill with great views of the northern tip of Aruba. Nestor was terrific with my daughter, who loves horses but doesn't have that much experience; she was a little nervous - but after a bit of walking to warm up, we got to canter and trot which was so much fun! I felt very safe with Nestor: he has so much experience and kept a close eye on us. He matched us with the perfect horses: my horse even shared my name!
Pick-up at your hotel is included (nice n easy!) The ranch is clean and it's easy to see how well the horses are cared for. If we had more time, we definitely would've arranged a second ride, it was THAT good! ¡Gracias Nestor!
