From the guide

From the ranch you will be taken on a 2-hour guided horseback riding tour through the 'Cunucu' or Aruban countryside with no streets or traffic and venture to where the iguanas, parakeets roam free. Enjoy the rough north east coast with the waves crashing wildly onto the rocky shores,walk on a beach if weather permits, into the ocean. If the guide sees you can control your horse well the dunes of soft white sand are a great place for a controlled gallop,scenic views and photos. This tour is very nice for the more advanced riders. English and western tack available. Galloping is allowed for the experienced riders (tour guides discretion).
