Horseback riding in St Lucia happens on the Atlantic beaches of the north east near Cas en Bas, where the rides end with the horses walking into the surf. The 5 rides on this page were picked by hand after we read every listing and kept only operators rated 4.5★ or higher. The cheapest is a short nature and history trail from €90 per person; the most expensive are private beach rides with a sea swim and the longer advanced rides for people who can trot and canter.
Riders are matched to horses by weight with limits stated on the listing, helmets are provided and closed shoes are required; wear a swimsuit under long trousers for the swim. Beginner rides are walking pace with a guide on foot or horseback alongside, and the advanced rides ask for proof of experience.
