Exceeded ALL expectations--a MUST Do in Aruba if you want to experience riding on the beach!! - Have done countless "trail rides" over the years, and this was the best by far!! If you want to ride horses on the beach in Aruba, do it at The Gold Mine Ranch with Jesus and Candy. We were able to trot and canter more than I ever expected, and the horses were well cared for and well trained. Additionally, the guides were friendly, funny and deeply passionate about horses. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous. It's a once in a lifetime experience. For guests on a cruise: their van picked us up near the cruise port and dropped us back off, which is a huge perk since it's a 15-20 minute trip from the port to the ranch. If you love horses and riding, this experience is a must!

Excellent experience - I’ve been on three other riding excursions in other countries and this was by far the best experience. I traveled solo (female) and was made to feel welcome. The horses are well cared for, the trainers/guides were very patient (especially when they learned the group assembled were mostly beginners). The views were amazing- loved riding through the desert and along the coastline. Jesus was in the lead and was a great person to get to know and he is really knowledgeable about horses and made me feel safe. Definitely wear sneakers (mind did not get wet or dirty and they are required because of the stirrups). I was lucky and had a slightly cloudy day and good breeze. Would definitely go again.

Best horseback ever - I have been to a couple places to ride horses in Aruba and this is by far the prettiest funnest best place to go. The trails were excellent. The guides were wonderful and the horses are so obedient and do whatever they’re told by the guides. We had the most fun I would always go here.

A Spectacular Horseback Riding Experience! - My horseback riding tour with Gold Mine Ranch was absolutely unforgettable! As someone with little to no riding experience, I felt completely at ease thanks to the supportive and patient tour guides. They carefully paired me with an easy-going, calm horse that was a joy to ride. The guides were fantastic, capturing amazing photos along the way and ensuring everyone felt comfortable throughout the journey.
The views of Aruba's coastline were nothing short of breathtaking, making every moment of the ride special. You might end up a bit saddle sore, but trust me, it’s well worth it! Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Aruba—no experience needed, just a sense of adventure!
