Thanks to Bano! It was a lovely relaxing ride through tracks, beach and the village. We opted not to take the horses in the water and that as ok. We were new to horseback riding so Bano took it slow and was very entertaining! Half way through the tour, we stopped to give the horses and ourselves a rest and... More

The ride is long and can get rough so be prepared if you have a weak stomach. The tour, staff, food & drink is fantastic!

Bono rocks. He's an incredibly gracious and helpful guide. He made everything super easy for a couple of rookies. The ride was great. I wish we had done it one of the first days we spent on the island because it really gave us a good sense of the environment around us. And we met some wonderful people. We will... More

Bano is a gentleman and looks after you. My daughter and I ride wherever we holiday (we have horses at home). He took us to the local's village where we stopped for refreshments. We then swam with the horses before making our way back.

We went on the trip with Bano when we were on our honeymoon. Bano was very nice and the tour was overall good. Just a heads up to people that may be traveling with families. This tour is very different from others. The local town you go through is nothing like the states, and if you are not used to... More

I would highly recommend these guys. Just go into it, remembering, Its not what you will encounter in the States. The equipment is a little more worn that what we're used to, but it was a BLAST and VERY safe. Horses were super also, and they gave us a real local tour. Beach riding, around town, Swimming on horseback, which... More
