Full beginner ride - We were picked up directly from our hotel which is always nice. When we showed up we had to sign waivers and then put all gear into lockers. The lockers are 10.00 and mandatory if u brought anything with you. I do wish the tour guide from the hotel would’ve told us this as we didn’t bring a ton of cash except to tip. The ride was slow and steady- having riden before I already knew how to handle my horse but every time I tried to redirect my horse from walking into a bush the tour guide would yell at me. I did feel bad for some of the horses as they had to ride us there, so the ocean swim which must’ve been tiring and then ride us back. It was def fun but I don’t think we will be doing it again.

Must Do! - My husband and I decided to do this and it was the best decision ever! Our pick up driver was super nice and the ride was very smooth. We did not have all our towels but thankfully we were able to buy them right there along with rent a locker. The Instructors (Lincoln) was very friendly and helpful with the guide instructions. My horse was Hurricane and Husband’s was Sparks. The tour was soo amazing and as a first timer I really enjoyed it. I’ll definitely be back again next year!😃 thx to all the other tour guys aswell that helped us have a wonderful time!

A Must! - We had an absolute blast riding at Chukka with Lamar as our guide. My daughter is a good rider and he was able to cater to her ability while also dealing with the rest of us, who are novices. We laughed a lot and felt that this was a once in a lifetime experience.

Best Excursion! - This was a great experience! We went for our honeymoon. We rode the horses on land and in the ocean. The horses were beautiful and looked strong. Big thanks to the crew for making it fun and safe. Special thanks to LINCOLN! We will definitely do it again!

Chukka Horseback Ride and Swim - Our guide Conroy was fantastic and made sure we had a great time. He was very encouraging and patient with me and my friends as most of us haven't gone horseback riding since we were kids. We had a great time and would definitely do this again, the horses were well-trained and it was very fun riding in the ocean. All the guides were great and seemed very excited and happy to be there, which made our experience enjoyable. Thank you, Conroy!

Cruise Excursion - We did this excursion as part of our cruise. It seemed like we would also get to swim at some point based on the trip description on the cruise site. Only horses swim while you ride, which was magical.
Lincoln was the best!! I had never ridden and he made me feel safe and cared for.
He was professional, kind and funny.
Would recommend for sure!

Worst experience. Animal abuse - I went to Chukka horseback riding a few days ago and it was definitely not what I expected and what I read on the internet
I am a professional rider and veterinarian. More than 50 horses overcrowded live there in a small place. Without hay, there was no water. Most of them are very skinny and hurt. They told me that the horses are removed from race or polo. Many have scars,
, malformations, pain. One was with his eye bleeding. I saw two people on top of one horse and a very fat man on a fairly small horse. I don't recommend this walk to anyone. It's expensive and you support animal abuse. The horses look tired and are so hungry. They hate it to go to the water. The horses are stopped all day with a saddle and brake
