Want to go for a ride - Special thanks to Jesus who is an incredible horse rider for guiding me on the horseback ride through the cacti (so beautiful) and on the rocky coastline and beach. I lucked out in getting a solo sunset ride. For years, I have been afraid of horses. I’m definitely a beginner. Strongly recommend Gold Mine Ranch.

Amazing - Jesus Duran was our guide.... he is amazing. He is a great guide and riding instructor. I was scared but by the end of the trip I was confident and super happy. Very grateful he was my guide. Highly recommend this tour.

Peaceful trip along the north coast - Enjoyed the peace and quiet on horseback as opposed to UTV / ATV's which travel to the same location.

Great ride - The staff were awesome. I enjoyed the whole farm. Since I already ride and there was just me and the instructor, he altered the ride to accommodate me. It was exactly how I wanted my horse riding on the beach to be. Would do it again!

Just OK - It was advertised as horseback riding on the beach we were single file the whole time only walking we went to the beach area only to take photos the rest of the ride was a trail though the cactus rocky desert

Worst experience ever in Aruba - Rude and insulting staff at the ranch. Although only a 20 min ride from my resort, i left 45 min early to give plenty of time for traffic and misdirection. The map on my phone does not work without wifi and i got lost. I stopped 2X to ask for directions and was sent the wrong way, therefore, i was unable to make my trip in time. I called the ranch as soon as i got back explaining the situation and hoped they could possibly put me on for another tour that was not sold out the next morning.(not expecting a yes but hopeful to work something out) The man i spoke to told me no, i missed my chance. He then proceeded to call me liar saying i was not lost, but sleeping and to lazy to show up. I have been coming to Aruba for 5 years and have never been treated with anything but kindness and respect. I will always consider Aruba my 2nd home. But, I would highly discourage anyone considering going to Gold Mine Ranch

Do NOT book with them - This company allowed my friends and I to book a tour and enter our weight. They were over the 200 limit and I emailed them to confirm our pickup and nothing was mentioned about a weight limit. The driver came to pick us up and left us because they “appeared” to be over 200 pounds. We had to argue with someone at the site for a refund, which they reluctantly issued after we contacted trip advisor directly.
