Aruba Horseback Riding Tour For Advanced Riders

What a joy it was to ride with Nestor. He's an amazing guide and a knowledgeable horseman. If you're an advanced rider I would definitely recommend Rancho Notorious. Although they cater to all levels of rider, as an experienced rider I was able to gallop to my hearts content. The scenery is absolutely wild and beautiful. The horses are safe, well looked after and a joy to ride. Nestor's lifelong passion is obvious and he earned my respect! Thank you so much for the experience, I felt like a child again riding with the wind blowing through my hair as I galloped the wild shore just after the sun rise.

Nester really made sure my daughter and I had a blast! The ride was beautiful. My daughter 13yrs is an advance rider and I’m intermediate. He made sure we got plenty of cantering in. I wouldn’t go anywhere else next time!!

Fortunately I was the only traveler on this ride. Nestor (&his wife & son) me outside the cruise terminal gates. My quarter Horse Barbaro was willing and “Bomb proof”. Nestor’s beautiful young Paso Fino was gorgeous and energetic. Our ride of walk, trots, canters and gallops,through cactus, rocky climbs, sandy soils and beaches was a great introduction to the diversely preserved & open Aruba landscapes.

After the reviews with Nestor we were expecting a fun time. However Max was our guide and he was fine, BUT the terrain was all rocky and there was nowhere to let the horses run. All we did was walk for two hours, it was only suitable for beginners. We did go to the sea and a rogue wave provided some excitement. All in all rather boring. The horses were in excellent condition, if only there was someplace to let them run.

Our tour guide Nestor was so knowledgeable and kind! We got to see some of the greatest parts of the island and there was no better feeling than galloping on these horses along side Aruba's beautiful desert and beaches. My girlfriend said this was her favorite part of our trip! The ranch was small, but quaint, with a pig, some goats, and several horses, we got to learn all of the animal's stories! There were even two barn dogs who were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Highly recommend this tour and Rancho Notorious!

We were very fortunate to have a private tour because the other two people who were supposed to be in our group were not advanced riders. Nestor, our guide was awesome. He let us cantor and gallop. The scenery was breathtaking. I would highly recommend the tour and Nestor as your guide.

I booked this tour for my daughter, daughter-in-law, and bonus granddaughter. They all agreed, the best riding experience available. The tour guide was great and the view of the island from the high point, probably a hill not mountain, was exceptional. Better value, for experienced riders, than cruise tour. They say five star and highly recommended.
