Awesomeness

Published on May, 2025

Horseback riding on the beach was on my lifetime bucket list. It was everything I dreamed it would be! The kind, professional staff ensured everyone was safe and had a great time. First timers in the saddle had just as much as a great time as experienced riders. They even stopped a few times for some great photos.

Great family horseback riding

Published on May, 2025

Horse back in Aruba

Published on May, 2025

Great time, hour and a half on the horse A group of 7. The horses love to run so be ready!!. Great scenery and tour guides. Make sure you wear a hat that wont blow off and sneakers or boots.

Great job by The Gold Mine Ranch

Published on Apr, 2025

This tour lasted about 90 minutes and this was the perfect length of time. If it went much longer, my ass would have been very sore! The guides who ran the tour ensured that the horses and riders stayed on track during the entire tour. We made several stops at predetermined sites and there was plenty of time to take pictures. You can’t always get a good picture of yourself so, the tour guides would use your phone to take pictures of you. At various times, the horses would walk, trot and gallop. They never truly ran, which was good for the average rider’s safety. My horse, Torisio, was perfect for a person with my level of experience. I’ve probably ridden about 10 times with all of these being on vacations. Overall, I felt comfortable and safe on this tour and I’d definitely recommend them.

Exciting for all!! A must-do activity!

Published on Mar, 2025

This was the best horse ride I have ever been on! I am an experienced rider, so, often when I go on rides with my less-experienced friends/family, the rides are nice but nothing special. This ride was quite the contrary! The ride was exciting for all!! In our group of 6 we had new riders to experienced and all felt it was the highlight of our vacation!! The horses were beautiful and the guides were fantastic!!! This was not just a plod-along ride. The scenery was gorgeous and the guides were so great at being sure we got photos to remember the awesome time!!! Can't say enough about Gold Mine Ranch!!!! Thanks for the great time!!
