We had a very friendly welcome but had to wait 1.5 hours for the horseback riding because we did not called before and jumped in without a reservation at 8:30 a.m. They organized a privat ride for us (2 people, 1 guide) for an hour and for a total of 100 $, a real bargain in this beautiful nature of...

This horse experience was amazing. Myself, my hubby & the 3 kids aged 12-14 had an amazing time riding on the beach. They match you with a horse that is compatible to your experience, the family was happy! We went at sunset. Beautiful!

Horses and the view were amazing. The owner ruined the entire experience by being a complete A-hole to us the minute we called to book our reservations till we left the property after our ride. Luckily, the other guides on the trip were friendly and we were able to just keep our distance from the owner on the ride. He... More

The negatives: The big downside was we got off to a late start. Not sure if it was because some riders didn't show up promptly at the designated check in time (9:30am), or if management held us up as they were making last minute reservations instead of scheduling for the next day. As I had another acitivity planned for later... More

The service was friendly and it made me feel comfortable. Every year I try to visit and every time I get the same horse. They make sure of that. It's a special tradition that my family has adopted and I feel obliged to visit each time. Thankyou Horses on the Beach for a truly amazing experience!

This was one of the most memorable days at the beach! The staff are very accommodating and are all about the fun & safety of the riders. We went for a sunset ride and enjoyed the almost two hours that took us on both sides of the island and over the dunes, miles out from the main hotel strip on... More

My two daughters (ages 7 and 9) and I recently went on a morning ride with Horses on the Beach. It was absolutely GREAT! The ride was along a part of the beach that was fairly quite and not overly populated. The horses were chosen based on rider experience and I have to say they did a great job matching... More

Helpful staff took us for an hour ride up North Beach on South Padre Island. Hadn't been on a horse for forty years and my wife had never ridden but they had us up and feeling like cowboys by the end of the ride. Great way to see the beach without getting your car stuck!
