A fantastic excursion - A fantastic experience full of great views and good times! Our guide was fantastic, and even though my wife and I were completely new to horseback riding, he made sure we were comfortable the whole time. The food at the picnic was great, and we even got to ride our horses in the ocean!

Fabulous experience! - Absolutely fabulous ride with a lovely picnic on the beach. Our morning started with a concise safety briefing including how experienced we were so they could match horse to rider. I had ridden a lot in my youth (now 64) but had not been on a horse for 40 years. My husband had never ridden and was slightly anxious. However, he was soon reassured as our guide (Jordan) was going to walk with us, alongside John to give him support if he needed it.
It was a lovely experience to ride a horse through the waves along a beautiful beach. Jordan soon hung back as John became more confident. We stopped for our picnic, tying the horses up by a shack on the beach and enjoyed an excellent packed lunch washed down with a cold bottle of Prosecco! Jordan asked if we wanted to take the horses into the water (bare back) but we were quite happy just riding together with Jordan taking photos of us with our phones. We would both do it again in a heartbeat!

Amazing trip - What an amazing experience we had riding in St Lucia, we were made to feel very welcome and after a short induction we were shown our horses and was on our way. The horses are so well behaved. Jordon was our guide and was very professional and you could feel the passion he had for his job. The trail was amazing and after an hour or so riding we arrived at the beach. Jordan and some other guides that were with another group collected fresh coconuts for us to sample, lovely added touch! And they tasted amazing!
We then rode the horses into the sea. We felt completely safe and had complete trust in the horses and Jordan.
Also, what made it even more special for us was the two lovely dogs that belong to the owner, they followed us all the way and enjoyed the coconuts as much as we did.
Would highly recommend and should we return to St Lucia, will definitely book again!

Amazing first-time experience horseback riding - Today was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Horse back riding for the very first time. The views were breath taking (gorgeous sun setting on the ocean , mountain and ocean/beach scenery). My companion diamond was very gentle and understanding as she guided me along the path where my boyfriend proposed to me. Our guide Alpha was very patient and happy to capture every moment of our adventure.
Btw even the dogs were loving and friendly
Will definitely be back soon.

Simply stunning - This was the most wonderful experience. We went as a family of 4 and of totally mixed ability. The stables were so friendly and able to accommodate all of our abilities. The ride was stunning and taking the horses into the sea was simply incredible. Have a little picnic and glass of fizz whilst on the beach was the cherry on the top. Highly recommend.

Beautiful views & friendly personnel. - The guide was friendly and when we got to the coast, it was beautiful. The drive to the stables was difficult because it was steep & wet. We did not have 4 wheel drive so had to park the car & walk the last part. The ocean views were beautiful. We got in the water with one horse to take photos but it was guided. We selected the picnic ride. The food was bought from a grocery store and put in a cardboard box which was OK but nothing special. The shelter where we had the picnic had beautiful views but was trashy & needs to be cleaned up.
