Amazing horseback riding experience - What an incredible experience. You didn’t need to be an experienced rider and the guides were fantastic. We spent a good 1.5 hours riding along the most beautiful terrain. We took the horses into the water, gold mine ruins and to the natural bridge. The guides made sure that we all got pictures of our experience. 100% recommend

Memorable Horseback Riding - Best excursion to book in Aruba! It was our first time ever riding a horse and the guides made it so easy, safe, and fun! Their demo gives you all the tips and safety info you need to have for an enjoyable ride. They even took pictures of all the guests at each site, which we appreciated. We had the best time, thank you for a memorable experience!

We Love Pegaso and Turbo!!! - Trail riding the way it should be! My husband and I have very different backgrounds with horseback riding. This was his first time ever and I’ve ridden a collective of 10 years at least. The horses at the Gold Mine Ranch are exceptionally trained for trail rides. They are listening to both you as the rider and the commands the guides are giving through whistles. Most trail rides I’ve been on in the states primarily focused on walking and MAYBE trotting; the horses on those trail rides tended to be more stubborn and food driven like the typical horses you’d be riding during lessons. Not the Gold Mine Ranch horses! Pegaso and Turbo were flawless for both my husband and me. A lot of the trail ride was spent trotting. There were a handful of times we even got to gallop! I was surprised they had my husband gallop since it was his first time riding, but he held his own and remembered my tips (sink your weight into your heels, keep your core tight and keep your heels, hips and head in alignment). I believe the riders that needed a bit more experience were kept back by the other guide and then caught up to us when Jesus, our lead guide, stopped to make sure we were all doing ok after a stretch of galloping. The saddles were really comfortable too. I was hoping my husband would enjoy riding and he did! We’ll be back next year and hope to be riding Pegaso and Turbo again!!!! Also loved that the ranch offers free transportation to/from our hotel. Thank you Gold Mine Ranch!!!

Peaceful journey - Staff was funny, friendly and nice. I was surprised at how well the horses navigated the rocky cacti terrain. They are all extremely well trained and the ride along the coastline was so peaceful and beautiful.
