I didn’t know what to expect coming into this. I haven’t rode a horse since I was 12 and I’m now 34, they made sure to match you to the right horse and walk you through everything. The horses are the kindest and very well trained. They are extremely smart creatures and deserve all the applause! Rancho loco people are so educated in truly caring for their horses:) will definitely do this again!

The scenery was amazing. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable.
However, on the way back, the horse went much too fast and the ride was very uncomfortable. I

My husband and I really enjoyed the whole experience of our horseback riding adventure to the natural pool. Our guides, our driver that picked us up from our condo and the owner were so accommodating. The horses were well trained. We highly recommend this tour.

This was the best excursion I have ever been on. We have done horseback riding in other countries, but this is hands down the most professional, fun, and just all-around entertaining ride. Our guide, Patrick, was the best! He was always watching over us and making sure we and the horses were comfortable. He stopped a few times for adjustments for the horses whom he just adored. This is a MUST, especially through this company. From the girl who picked us up Kristy, to the owner to Patrick, all get 5 stars!!!

We had such a great time horseback riding with this company (family run ranch). The horses were very well trained so it was more than ok that we didn't have any horseback riding experience. The guides took the time to pair individuals with the right horses for a more enjoyable experience. The guides were humorous and very hospitable. Loved all of it. The natural pool was such an amazing pit stop. I was happy to have brought my water shoes because the rocks do get a little slippery.

This is a wonderful tour to take through the deserts of Aruba. The guides are hands on, super knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive. I was a beginner and learned so much about horses and riding and Aruba. Give this one a try! Be sure to wear long sleeves and bring a lot of water as well as water shoes , suit and towel if you want to go swimming!

What an excellent experience! Prior to this, the closest thing to a horse I’ve experienced was the basketball game! The instructions were excellent. The staff did a wonderful job of assessing guests and pairing them with an appropriate horse. Once we headed out, horses followed the guide perfectly. There were three, all of whom were engaged in monitoring the guests and horses. The ride was incredible. Once we reached the top of the mountain, you could see both coasts of Aruba. The natural pool was uniquely beautiful, and the ride back to the top and to the stables was equally as fun as the journey up.
I was paired with Phoenix. An unbelievably sweet, compliant and engaging horse. If you are so lucky to get paired with him, tell him hello and thanks for me!
