Awesome Experience - It was absolutely perfect! Myself, my 8 year old daughter and my childhood friend traveled an hour by taxi to experience this treasure. The horses were well trained and cared for. The trainers Alex and Angel were so kind and funny. They made the experience well worth it! We are from Florida and we booked prior to arrival and we are so glad we did. Met some really nice people to in our group.

Beginner to Professional cowgirl! - This was such an amazing experience! I truly enjoyed the horse back riding. First timer and I didn’t know what to expect but the staff were very informative and helpful and made the whole experience a breeze. I can now say I am a professional cowgirl! I even galloped! You will have the chance to stop at a small hut by the beach to have refreshments. I suggest having some lunch before hand or bringing something in a book bag.

Great dinner on the beach! - This was a great experience. My wife had wanted for years to horseback ride on the beach. Horses were great, staff was great. Best part for me was dinner on the beach. Very elegant and way beyond my expectations.

What an amazing experience!!! - This was one of the best excursions I've ever done. There were 6 of us, and none of us had ridden a horse in over 30 years. The horses were very calm. We went on some trails that took us to the beach for a good walk that was very relaxing. Afterwards, we were able to ride the horses in the water. Only one of us did it, but I will definitely do that next time. Afterwards, went to a nice restaurant and had dinner on the beach. The sea bass was amazing. Thanks Sylvia and Ramon for a great experience. See ya in a couple of years!!!!

Worth your time and money - I was unable to ride the horses because I had ankle surgery . My cousin and my husband were able to ride the horses and they loved it . I paid 40 dollars to ride in a car behind them and enjoy dinner at the beach. My cousin is allergic to dogs. It was my cousin first time riding houses and found out she was allergic to horses. They accommodate her and took her back to the hotel. My husband and I enjoyed dinner on the beach. The bonfire was so beautiful . The food was amazing and they also provide wine and rum . I was able to bring my cousin food and a bottle of rum back to the hotel . The staff was so kind !!! Our waiter was also amazing he took pictures of my husband and I. I loved this and would refer this to anyone.

Lovely vista, unfortunate customer service with tour operator - The sunset horseback ride was memorable and the guides were friendly. As a beginner, the horses seemed well-trained and simple to give commands. It was an enjoyable experience and a lovely vista. The reason for lower rating is because the listing said that it included dinner on the beach while watching the moon come up, which my partner and I were looking forward to. However, no dinner was provided. When I reached out to the tour operator asking for a refund only for the dinner portion, the operator did not respond until I said I would need to dispute with my credit card if I didn't hear back. That prompted an immediate response, where the operator said that the cost used to be higher but because of COVID the dinner was dropped and the price reduced. However, the listing did not say that. I asked others on the trip if they expected dinner, and they said no but that they had paid less than me. I was asking only for a refund of the difference between those prices. After brief communication, the operator stopped responding and has not responded for several days.
