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).

Fantastic experience! - We did the full day experience with horseback riding, jeep tour, and natural pool. Our horseback riding guides made the experience fun and engaging and comfortable for beginners. They also paused and took pictures of us throughout. Our jeep guide, Kurt, was friendly and informative and made the experience really fantastic. He made sure to keep giving us water and also brought along snorkeling gear for us to use in the natural pool. We would definitely recommend this tour! We were considering doing a less expensive tour but we are so happy we chose this one.

Great way to experience Aruba! - Super organzied and efficient. We started with horseback riding and it ended up just being our family so it was an amazing tour for us! Our guides took many pictures for us at several stops and showed us some beautful locations. The second part of our day was a jeep tour, again just our family, with our guide Andrew who made the day so memorable. The natural pool swim, caves and spectacular beaches were something we will remember forever and was an adventure that we would never have felt comfortable doing on our own. Highly recommend this company!

A great 2 hour private ride! - We highly recommend The Goldmine Ranch. The wife and I took the two hour private tour yesterday with guide Jesus. Jesus was a blast to ride with. He was very knowledgeable and professional guide. The horses we just as amazing to spend two hours with. I rode Picasso and the wife rode Kimba. Such a great afternoon. If you been thinking it do it. Call the guys at Goldmine Ranch and book it.

Sold short, unsafe, careless - The guides were Rude! The horses not well kept, worked a 20yr horse with a split hoof. One of the guides fell off the horse twice and was hurt before we even left, and another guide took his place . The guide did not care that the people behind me were scratched up hurt and wanted to get off stop and walk back. We only got half the tour never got to the second beach or Nature bridge. The family in front and behind us were angered and the guide just laughed them off.
