We and me sweetie was staying at the Sandals Grand in St. Lucia. While on the beach talking to other visitors asking them what type of things they did and almost everyone said you must go horseback riding with magic man and Bano. So we did. I must say they was right. These guys are St. Lucia at its best.... More

This was a great trip. Enjoyed spending the day on the catamaran. The only thing that was a disappointment was you have to choose EITHER the gardens/volacano OR the mud bath. Both got good reviews and it would have been nice to do both. The time spent snorkellingwas bad - we were given about 10 minutes which is nothing. We... More

My wife and I really enjoyed and appreciated the hospitality that Bono and Magic man offered to us. These guys represent everything we loved about the people in St. Lucia, truly no pressure no problems. We would definitely recommend taking their tour. We look forward to our return to St. Lucia and we will definitely book a tour with them!!! More

Riding horses on the beach - what a dream. The place seems a little "off the beaten path" but trust me - you will love it! More

We stayed at The Grand Sandles in Gros Islet. You will find Bano right between Sandles and The Landing. Can't miss him. He'll arrive with his horses to the left side of the beach every morning. His horses are very well behaved. Carribean horses are very laid back just like the owner, Bano. He will cator to whatever kind of... More

My horse was being temper mental from the beginning and started bucking me. I told the man twice that I was not cool with this and I wanted... More

My wife and I opted for the Atlantic Ride. It was filled with gorgeous views and adventure. Adventure on a seaside horseback ride you say? Well let me explain. We were on a cruise ship and had called "Bono" who told us we'd be met by a sign with our names at 10 AM just outside the terminal. We arrived... More

I rode with http://www.northpointriding.com. Marlon is such a sweetheart and his horses are the same. I was feeling blue after being dumped by my boyfriend and did a last minute vacation to St. Lucia. I ride horses here in the states, and while sitting on the beach I saw Marlon riding down the beach on a horse with his dreads... More

Beautiful ride on the beach, great bbq, swimming with the horses. Truly a dream come true, but the cloud of pot which surrounded the staff was a bit of an aggravation. REALLY? MUST you? This is one of the truly great St. Lucia experiences. Go for it. More
