Sunrise Surf
Enjoy the glorious sights as the evening falls and daylight is fading. Nothing beats a Caribbean sunset except a Caribbean sunset on a horseback. This is beyond a typical tour reviewed by many as an one-of-a-kind experience and a perfect way to end a day in paradise. The ranch is roughly a 15 minutes drive from the high-rise strip. When you arrive, you may find our staff working their routines as an important part of the operations supports a horse rescue and community hippotherapy program. From the ranch you'll be guided through the country side where hillsides overlook Caribbean beaches. This trail including a section of Aruba's ecological landscapes will lead you through the habitat for native and migratory birds. This ride ultimately leads to a refreshing ride along the surf line. There are plenty of chances for photo ops during his tour as you will want to capture this moment. *Travel notes: please be on time for pick up as the driver cannot wait longer than 5 minutes.

All land and sea activities have risk. There are inherent risks to horseback riding. An inherent risk would be one that is foreseeable as possible as a result of interacting with a horse. Those risks include but are not limited to being thrown, bitten, kicked or trampled. We do not recommend the horseback rides for pregnant women and anyone suffering from back and neck pain. The trails are exhilarating and some are not for timid riders. On the day of the ride we gather horses from stalls and pastures and we start supplementing the horses with additional grain. Saddling and fitting tack on each horse for the work day is heavy work for our guides since saddles are heavy and all tack is leather. Also feeding arrangement for the working horses are made since saddled horses are kept in different areas of the ranch because we don't want any horses to miss a meal! So please be kind to all of us at the ranch and let us know about cancellation well in advance.
