Helmets, water and transport are included; there is a rider weight limit and no hats allowed. 4.9 from 221 reviews at €88 per person. ## Overview This isn't your regular nose-to-tail riding. We offer horseback adventure! We are located right on the North-East coast where the views are fantastic, with a wide range of caribbean and desert wonders, such as beautiful cacti, beaches, sand dunes, and a fantastic ocean view. You will walk, trot, and canter along the most beautiful scenery that Aruba has to offer. Come join us and take this off your bucket list! The tours are 90 minutes non-stop riding, with small breaks at the beaches so you can take pictures if you would like to do so. No one gets off the horse during our tours. We don't park the horses during the tour. ## Key facts - Price: from €88 per person - Duration: 1h 40m–2h - Rating: 4.9/5 from 221 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: The Gold Mine Ranch Horseback Riding Tours ## What's included - Use of horseback riding tack - Bottled water - Air-conditioned vehicle - Helmets (optional but recommended for adults, mandatory for children) - Riding and safety instructions ## Not included - Gratuities - Please do not book if you exceed our weight limit of 225 lbs - Private transportation ## Itinerary 1. **Our guide will meet you upon arrival at the ranch and accompany you to the st...** (10m) - Our guide will meet you upon arrival at the ranch and accompany you to the stables to begin the riding instructions.
