As one reviewer shared on 2024-03-18:

Best day ever! Riding horses and soaking up beach breezes - This was the excursion that I had most of my hopes pinned on and it did not disappoint. Riding the horses through the vibrant green and past homes was delightful. While the sort bit crossing the main road did make me a little nervous it was worth it to get to go splishing into the ocean. I loved it! The ride back was sedate and we were back to the corral before I knew it and I was still buzzing off the joy of splishing in the water.

After the ride, relax on West Bay Beach, one of the island’s best stretches of sand. Here, you can kick back under the shade of a coconut tree, sip on a refreshing drink, and let the gentle sea breeze wash over you.
