Highlights

This isn't your regular nose-to-tail riding. We offer horseback adventure! We are located right on the North-East coast where the views are fantastic, with a wide range of caribbean and desert wonders, such as beautiful cacti, beaches, sand dunes, and a fantastic ocean view. You will walk, trot, and canter along the most beautiful scenery that Aruba has to offer. Come join us and take this off your bucket list! The tours are 90 minutes non-stop riding, with small breaks at the beaches so you can take pictures if you would like to do so. No one gets off the horse during our tours. We don't park the horses during the tour.
