Beach ride and swimming with horses - We went to Antigua with AIDA and decided to go for a beach ride and swim with horses at Star Times Adventures. It all worked out great from start to finish. The guides are super friendly, speak perfect English and totally tried. The horses were well behaved, good and well groomed. We had a super great day!

Book Them! - I give this company 5 Stars. They took very good care of my family and I over a very busy holiday weekend. They even made special accommodations for us when we wanted to stay longer at one of our stops. They helped us wash away excess sand after the excursion (which was a nice touch) and the CEO even came out to greet us and ask about our experience in the end. Hands down recommend this great crew for your next adventure.

A Magical, Once-in-a-Lifetime Beach Ride with Horses and Turtles - Absolutely unforgettable experience. This was a small, intimate group with only four of us, which made the entire tour feel relaxed, personal, and special from start to finish. The guides were truly exceptional; knowledgeable, attentive, and wonderful with both the horses and our group. You could immediately tell how much they care about the animals and about creating a great experience for their guests. Riding along the beach was breathtaking, and swimming with the horses was pure magic, something we’ll be talking about for years. After the ride, we had about an hour to enjoy the waves on our own, and it felt like we had discovered a hidden paradise. There were fewer than ten people on the entire beach, and we were lucky enough to spot turtles swimming nearby, which made it even more special. Our guide, Naughty Captain Crystal, was the absolute highlight; charming, funny, and full of personality. She made everyone feel comfortable, kept the mood light and fun, and added so much joy to the experience. If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime beach ride that feels exclusive, well-run, and genuinely magical, this is it. Highly recommend.

For novice riders - The driver to the event was amazing. Showed us all around the island because the horse back adventure was running behind. The horse back riding seemed like 45 minutes of riding on the road 15 minutes riding on the beach. Then when we got back they asked if we wanted a picture with us on the horse in the water. We are horse people and did not want to put the animals through any more. If you have never been on a horse you probably would enjoy it.
