Great experience - I had horses for many years. This was far above than what we expected. We expected a simple trail ride and it was more

Excellent experience - My 11-year old daughter went on a 90-minute ride tour with a guide. She was very pleased with her experience. Very attentive guide. Everything was very safe with great pictures and videos taken by the guide. We took the taxi from our hotel in Palm Beach - got charged $40 for a 20-minute ride, but the Farm offered us a free ride back to Palm Beach, which was a great bonus. Overall, an excellent experience. Highly recommended

Horse back in Aruba is a must! - So much fun and saw so much of the island that would have not been seen otherwise. They took pictures in amazing places but I wish we had a family picture on horseback by the beach instead of individuals but still amazing to have any kind of picture. Such a fun experience!

Horseback on the beach - This was a great short excursion. The staff took excellent care of us, stopped along the way used our phones to take pictures. Make sure we had water was very friendly and professional flying halfway across the world to ride horses on the beach is an awesome experience. Highly recommended.
