Sunrise Surf
Escape the crowd and join us on a local adventure. Get to know Aruba off the beaten path on this horseback ride which is limited to groups of 12 or less. Take in the best views of both countryside and coast. This tour is for the duration of approximately 75 minutes. We'll pick you up from your hotel if you don't have your own means of transportation. Your own personal driver will be outside the main lobby of your resort at the time indicated on your confirmation e-mail. The ranch is about a 15 minutes drive from the high rise hotel strip and half an hour from the cruise ship terminal. Our signature tour leaves the ranch by making its way through the country side in an extended part of Aruba's ecological landscapes. You may find locals working at the lagoons. Depending on the season this part of the trail may look as a desert. During other seasons it may be lush green and covered with vegetation. One thing is for sure, you're surrounded by cacti and rocks and Aruba's famous trade winds. The elevation hills provide scenic views of the island before continuing down to the coastline for a ride along the pristine waters. This tour is all about soaking in the beauty of Aruba's nature on a horseback! *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.
