Two rides by the beach where the rides themselves were engaging, but also plenty of opportunity to enjoy the natural state or Jamaica. The instructors were kind and knew how to keep everyone safe. Would do it again!!

Really fun experience. I’ve never gotten to ride ATVs or horses on the beach or in the ocean before. The guides are very nice. They have a photographer to take photos you can buy after. There are lockers to store your bags which cost $10..
It's a must and fun activity to do. The team is amazing! Riding a horse into the sea was very exciting. Than you very for this experience!
Best experience of the year. 🤩🤩🤩
My day was truly well spent! I had such an amazing experience from start to finish. All of the tour guides were friendly, professional, and made the day so much fun. A special thank you to Randall and Romeo for the incredible ATV and horseback riding experience. Garland, Lincoln, and Romaro were also absolutely amazing and made the entire adventure even more enjoyable. Great energy, great service, and unforgettable memories. I would definitely recommend this experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great experience, although one particular young lady should consider her approach to customers, was very off putting. Everyone else was fine. Instructors were Brilliant!!
Although a very nonchalant, almost uninterested greeting by the young lady upon arrival without explanation about the activity, we were just ordered to pay. I felt like walking off. I had to ask the second lady who was very helpful about the activity as i had come with my family. Instructors were great and so i tipped them this made all the difference.
Was for my grandsons 18th birthday, he said it was very enjoyable and they had lots of fun, can’t wait to come back to Jamaica for more
What an awesome time. The ATV was friendly and provided great safety directions. The horseback riding team were friendly, ensured safety, and overall just great during our excursions. The ride through the ocean on the horses was breathtaking!
My overall experience was great. I loved the Bob Marley tour it’s a must. I loved the ATV and horse back riding.
This was truly a bucketlist mark off item today! Lincoln, our guide, was amazing! His smile, personality, and attention to details was spot on! He also knew I knew how to ride and gave me a ride of a lifetime! My horse, Best Man, was easy and did what was asked...he was a great swimmer too! Definitely recommend this tour!
The excursion was tons of fun. we were far , in farmouth so it was a long ride an a long day. 1pm pickup didnt get home until 8pm. However, the guides on the ATV & Horse back were so fun they made it a blast. They had us laughing the whole time.Special shout out to the shuttle driver, Dwight , he gave a great tour on the way to an from, with lovely music, fun vibes and an AMAZING Personality!! he deserves a raise! & the whole staff for helping me look for my phone when i lost it on the trail, then get it back to me safely the next day with all money/id intact. truly great people and a fun experience. One Love Jamaica.
My family loved the horseback ride, especially while in the ocean! Our tour guide, Melissa, did an excellent job providing information about Jamaican history, native plants, music, and current events on the bus ride to the Falmouth. If you’ve never ridden on a bus in Jamaican traffic, it is an experience! Lincoln and Alvito were great tour guides for the horseback riding portion. They will try to get the horses to run in the water so be ready to hold on! Because you ride in a swimsuit/shorts in the water, you may experience significant chaffing on your inner legs. On the way back, we stopped at a Rainbow Souvenir Shop. If you’ve never ridden have kids, be aware that there are several souvenirs of male genitalia that you may not want to explain. They ordered jerk chicken with rice and beans for us to pick up there. It was $26 for a small tray of food. It was good but kind of expensive for what it was. Jamaica is still recovering from Hurricane Melissa so I’m sure they could use the money. You can buy 6-15 pics of you riding horses for $65 that they will email to you. Melissa really took great care of us and answered any question about Jamaica with ease.
Good experience over all was great
I’m not even sure where to start, but I’ll begin by saying I would not recommend this company at all. Do not book with them. Once you arrive in Jamaica, the lack of communication and overall customer service is terrible. The employees are very disrespectful and speak to you as if you owe them something, even though you are the customer. While we were eventually met with an apology from the owner, the experience was still so disappointing that I can’t recommend this business. Please do your research, there is other local company that offers better service and actually cheaper services. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
I can not say enough good things about this place. The bus ride over was very enjoyable, the bus driver Melissa was so sweet and gave us so much history/knowledge as well as show and tell/ prizes. The ride was amazing for all experience levels, more experienced riders did get a chance to go a little quicker, however we all got to run in the water. They were very good about choosing horses that matched peoples weight as well as comfort level. Lincoln, and all the trail guides were so kind, patient and overall made everyone feel included and welcome.
Staff amazing.Stay knowledgeable and know what they are doing to make sure you have the best experience and safe,Staff sit down and explain history and help with making sure you get good pictures.
Family trip with our 6 year old daughter. It was her first time on a horse and she did amazing! The guides were so friendly and helpful, we never felt worried for her safety! Definitely recommend.
I recently went on a cruise and took part in a horseback riding excursion on the beach, which was a beautiful experience. During the excursion, photos were taken and we were given the option to purchase them. I selected four photos and paid $52 with the understanding that they would be emailed to me. Unfortunately, I never received the photos despite providing my email and payment at the time. I’ve waited patiently and even checked my spam/junk folders multiple times with no luck. It’s disappointing to have paid for memories that I now don’t have. I hope the company will take accountability and either send the photos as promised or issue a refund. I’d love to update this review with a positive outcome, but as of now, I’m left frustrated and disappointed.
Lincoln and Anthony were amazing guides for the Horseback ride and swim in the Caribbean Sea. They were extremely professional and made the experience and magical one that will always be remembered with no regrets. Damian the Akita driver was an amazing driver and guide. Lincoln, Anthony, and Damian we thank you for the quality service and for these memorable moments.
Oh my when I say what a great experience! I really enjoyed this tour. Staff was very helpful and professional. Lincoln is great. This tour is a must! My driver Gary Tour With A Difference Transportation (876-551-9948) is great.
Thank you for fulfilling a lifelong dream of riding through the sea horseback . We were very well taken care of and loved it so much!
This was so much fun! My husband and I did this with our 9 and 6 year old girls. We all had the best time. Our guides took the best care of our children and ensured we didn’t have to worry. The trek through the ocean on horseback - unforgettable! And they even took pictures and videos for us! Definitely recommend this experience!
This was a super fun experience it was also a bit scary at first but then I got used to being on the horse. I would definitely recommend the only thing is that your thighs get really sore the next day from all the jumping around on the horse. Other than that it was a great experience to do with the person I love!
Thought it was going to be worse than imagined but instead the horses are well cared for and the riding and sea ride was excellent. Would recommend
Make sure you do it and ask for Lincoln! He was so great on our tour and made the trip so incredibly memorable! Bring cash for tips because those guys work all day in that hot sun, truly love the animals and it was so worth it.
It was very unorganized checking in and signing the waiver, but the ride was a lot of fun, and the tour guides were great! I had a lot of fun!
Absolutely amazing experience. Guides take good care of you and horse riding in the ocean is exactly as much fun as it sounds
We booked with Carnival and was so impressed with everything. Loved our guide Tikka and driver JR as he maneuvered us past traffic to make sure we made it back to the ship on time. Now on to the actual horse swim. Our guide Lincoln was amazing. He told us several things we didn't know about the islands. He made sure we were safe and got some awesome footage of us on the horses. I would definitely book again.
I just wanted to share an amazing experience I had recently — horseback riding through scenic trails that ended with a ride in the ocean! It was absolutely unforgettable, and the combination of nature, adventure, and the unique ocean ride made it truly special. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and memorable outdoor activity.
It was my wife’s first time going horseback riding and seeing the excitement on her face as we rode through the trail and into the ocean was so awesome to see! Our tour guide Richie was very friendly and made our experience better with the conversations we had with him. Would highly recommend this!
This experience was better than expected, totally prepared, professional and personable staff! Romaine was great!
This was so fun we actually returned later the same week to do it a second time. Excellent guides made it just as fun for my teenager (who rides) as it was for me (no experience). Trail through the jungle, ride out into the warm sea, and then back along the beach, perfect.
The wranglers were great and helpful. Safety was really stressed. The riding time was very brief. A short walk from the coral and beach was only 15 minutes each way. The distance in the water was only 100 yds taking 2-3 minutes. All in all an expensive short ride. Not a good value in my option.
The guides were friendly and were good at explaining ahead of time what was likely to happen. They answered our questions and asked about our comfort throughout the tour. Silver, my horse, was great and was quite obedient. I would return and would recommend.
Horseback riding was fun, Lincoln made it extra fun with his personality. He belongs on horses lol. Wish the in water part was longer tho. Also the photographer needs to step his game up, people want memorable pics and his sense of urgency as well as the amount of pics could be waaaay better. The horses were calm and the ride was mellow so good for all ages I'd say.
Outstanding experience, from the pickup to the horse ride and after. Richard, the Driver was safe ,Donnette, very personable and informative as the guide. Errol and the entire riding staff were extremely helpful and entertaining . Recommend this excursion to all, beginners to experts.
My wife and I select horse back riding on every cruise we go on. These guys are far and away the best outfit to ride with in the Caribbean. Their horses are in tip top shape and well treated. Their wranglers are so helpful and fun. Can’t wait to do it again!
What a great experience. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I had the best experience ever. I will definitely be back this year
Great experience while visiting Jamaica. We have ridden with this company many times over the years. Each time only gets better. Shout out to Anthony and Lamar, our guides.
The staff was very nice however I have been around horses all my life. I would say that all of these horses need to have a veterinary checkup. Some of the horses were under weight. With ribs and back bones showing. Several horses were lame and still being ridden. Most the saddles that I saw were in pretty bad condition. I enjoyed the ride but would like to see the stock taken better care of.
I had an excellent time with Yohan and Anthony they looked after us because they made us feel comfortable
While I was not impressed with our travel agent for not informing us of the option of a private guided ride, the experience was one I would recommend. I was impressed with how far out and for how long we were in the ocean with the horses. The guides were great, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The cost of the photos was astronomical considering the poor quality of the photos. But the ride, horses, facility, and staff were all great. I was pleasantly surprised by the good condition of the horses, as I have seen many vacation photos from people over the years at other locations where the horses are in very poor condition.
It was good but didn't have the rum tasting or the coffee , the staff was very nice , horses looked a little under weight but plenty off hayledge to eat.
The staff and the horses were great. They took good care of us and made this one of our highlights during our trip
My family and I had an absolute blast riding the horses in Jamacia in the ocean! The guides went over and above making sure everyone had a great time and was safe. Thank you for the experience!
Experienced riders, supported us to have a fantastic experience and keep us safe, experience of a life time. Would recommend
Wow is all I can say, what an amazing experience So much fun, the staff are just brillian, fun, happy and you can see they really love there job.
Although we can laugh about it now. The experience of the ocean water was ROUGH and when we rode the horses at the Beach we were deep enough that I thought I would fall off the horse and drown. The water tide was higher than usual and I don’t think the instructors took that into consideration. I prefer a gentler more romantic experience and it was a far cry from that.
Very enjoyable ride the people were very helpful and thoughtful.The ride was loads of fun . Thank you again.
