Horseback Riding and Natural Pool Jeep Safari - We selected the horseback riding with natural pool Jeep safari in early October / late September. We were the only ones that day and it was like a private tour! Jean Rick, our horseback riding guide, was an excellent instructor despite it being our first time. We were a little intimidated at first, but Jean Rick got us to a gallop by the end of our tour which was a blast (special shout-out to Toribio and Elegance--they were wonderfully gentle horses)! Shonn, our Jeep safari guide, was a knowledgeable and friendly guide who not only showed us around Arikok Natural Park and the Natural Pool, but stopped for excellent photo spots and the best bakery and sweets in town!

Horse riding and National park - What a lovely horse riding experience, the guys were very knowledgeable around horses, they were well looked after. As we hadn’t ridden horses before we were given horses that were suitable for us, which was excellent. We went along to Wariruri beach, the gold mill ruins and the baby natural bridge, there were several photo opportunities and the staff were very happy to take photos, after the horse ride we carried on in a jeep to Arikok National Park which included regular stops to give us information about the park, we visited the Fontein caves where we saw Indian rock drawings, bats and a huge giant centipede………… we had a brilliant guide we think he was called Sean, who made sure we had a great day and then finished off with a trip to Conchi the natural pool which was lovely even though there were a fair few steps to go down, the off roading in the jeep was intense but a brilliant activity definitely would recommend.

Riding, natural pool, caves and fish pedicure - This was an amazing experience! The horses are well cared for, the staff knows their horses well and pairs you with one that is matched to your skill level. I went with my husband who had never ridden before and my daughter who rides weekly and both were matched exactly correct. We had an amazing time riding, then went on to see the natural pool, caves and fish pedicure. Our guide was amazing and so patient with our daughter when she was afraid at the natural pool. 20/10. I would absolutely do this again on my next visit

Amazing experience - We just go back from an amazing ride with Jeanrick. We did the private tour so it was just me and my 11 year old daughter who rides way better than me. Jeanrick made sure she got the full experience even with me being a slow poke . He had us galloping and trotting all over and I think he was having as much fun as we were! He made sure to stop and take pictures of us and we even took a dip in the ocean to cool off. It was an incredible experience and we will remember it forever. Thank you! This is definitely a must do for every aruba trip!

Stunning ARUBA coastline - The highlight of our Aruba trip!!! Our guide Jseus was excellent - engaging, patient and knowledgeable with our coastal ride. At each landmark he took us to, he stopped to make sure we were still comfortable, took pictures of us and told us a little about the history of the site. We never felt rushed. As soon as we returned to the ranch, our horses saddles were removed, the horses were watered, cooled down and immediately taken to under cover from the sun - animal care/welfare is important to us.
Definitely wear long pants, study footwear and a wide brimmed hat that ties under the chin. Even at our 9am ride, it was very hit and sunny.
If you’re looking for a unique experience to see the coast line, the natural bridge, the natural pool and the mine ruins, this was a blast! Absolutely stunning views.
Definite a 5 ⭐️ in our book!!!

Highly recommend. Good mix of adventure and seeing nature. - Not your typical horseback ride on the beach. This side of hard coral rock with striking cliffs and views. The guide Donny (?) takes your picture (while you stay on horseback ) at each site. You have a few episodes of trotting. The horses are in great condition. One of our riders brought a bag of carrots and they let us feed the horses after the ride. Half the time is on horseback; half in an open air jeep. The roads are rocky and bumpy therefore the jeep ride is noisy. Kurt was a great guide and shared lots of information about the island and natural sights. He even provided a wonderful hot cheese pocket as a snack. He provided snorkel masks for us at the natural pool and made sure to tell us the exact right way to enter the pool. Didn’t need a towel, as you will dry off some walking back up the stairs and they don’t mind you being wet. Do not arrive in flip flops. Kurt provided us plenty of water along the way, too. (You do not have opportunities to drink water while horseback riding).

Great experience bumpy ride - Ranch was very well maintained horses were in great condition guides were helpful knowledgeable and patient. The natural pools were beautiful however getting to them takes a lot of time and a lot of off-road driving hard in the body but that’s the cost to see something beautiful. Our driver Andrew was wonderful and did the best he could to make the ride more comfortable. So the end comment would be if your not into off-road experience you might want to pass but you’ll miss the experiencing the pools.
