A MUST-DO when in Aruba!(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)Recommended
Reviewed by Leah Lapic on December 16, 2019
This horseback riding trip was my favorite of ANY that I have been on. They were able to accommodate my beginner boyfriend and myself - an advanced rider- on the same trip. I was allowed to canter and gallop on certain stretches of the ride, and Nestor coaches my boyfriend until he was able to trot AND canter at his own pace (pretty spectacular since he’s a total beginner). Nestor was a spectacular guide, the horses were VERY well taken care of and well-trained. We will definitely be coming back!

I highly recommend this activity! Nestor was the best tour guide I could’ve asked for. I’ll be returning for a ride on my next vacation.

My husband and I had a great visit to Rancho Notorious. We met Nestor and spent the next few hours riding through the “quieter” side of the island and then rode to the ocean. It was beautiful. Nestor was a wonderful instructor. We will be back!

Rancho Notorious was excellent!! They only do small groups so you really have a great ride. My husband and I happened to be the only 2 in our group, so we essentially got a private tour! If you love a real ride with galloping, you will love this! Beautiful views and great service! Highly recommend.

It was our first time horseback riding. The trainor liked on a trail that led to the ocean where the horses loved galloping in the ocean by the shore. We have it all on Video. Had a fantastic time. We truly enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to all.

I had a wonderful experience this morning. I did many ridings before around the world. First, as I was going solo, I was nervous about them cancelling on me because they did not have enough people, but this was NOT the case at Rancho Notorious. They conducted the tour anyways with just me and the fabulous well experienced guide. Many companies require at least two people. This tour did not have such requirement and it is the best option for solo travelers. Then comes the pick up drop off, they were very responsive kind and flexible to pick me up near my residence since I m not at a hotel and dropped me off at the residence to make sure I am safe and comfortable. The ride itself was magnificent. The horses look healthy and well taken care of. I love animals and they had other animals there all free and happy. The guide was professional. I felt very safe and the trail was beautiful with a nice stop by the shore I cannot even describe how beautiful that view was. The guide Nestor was the best. Very knowledgeable which made me feel safe and confident. I am comfortable trotting but I don't canter or gallop in the open but felt so safe and confident. Had more control thanks to the tricks he shared and Everything was perfect!
