Just terrible, don’t go here please !
Michelle
, Jul 2021
One of the worst experiences ever. - no Dutch or English speaking - no water - no nature park, Arikok. - guide who’s phone was his speaking partner - arriving and see a horse in terrible condition and then their reaction “o it should be killed yesterday” - pickup irritated that we were a party of 2 and not 4. We booked for to and private don’t know who the others were. - support guide of 15 years old and afraid for horses. - just one hour and not as promised. So please don’t go here their ar far better options than this organization.

Beste Michelle en dutchBuzz, Bedankt voor jullie 1 ster recensie. Namens al onze paarden en onze kinderen met autisme die ieders recensie zo hard nodig hebben, heel hartelijk bedankt! Bedankt dat jullie mensen ook aanraden om niet bij ons te boeken. Wow, 1 ster.....het had zeker ook anders gekund want jullie hebben ons nummer. Wel knap dat jullie allebei zo vrijgevend zijn geweest om jullie ervaring te delen. Super bedankt! Cheers! Shana

DO NOT BOOK !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pete_G

DO NOT BOOK !!!! We booked a private beach ride. The first red flag was when NO PHONE number listed anywhere was answered. When the car came it was a very small car from the 70's or 80's (driver was nice) with ANOTHER couple already in the car. The ride to the ranch was very uncomfortable. The ranch is in disrepair, and unfortunately the horses do not look healthy, open sores where the ropes cinches INTO their skin. Language communication is a challenge. WE were expected to go with the other couple. NOT PRIVATE. Once my daughter saw the condition of the horses we chose not to cause them more pain. The woman at the ranch tried to explain that the ranch was under new ownership (from the Netherlands), and they needed to keep tours booking to help fix the ranch. The other gentleman was too heavy for the horse they chose and was told he could not ride. They wanted his newlywed wife to ride with us and leave him behind. We all left the ranch in the same tiny car and felt awful for the horses. To the ranch do not try and explain away this review because remember I took pictures and video and hope Viator listens to my complaints and pulls this excursion.

Worst experience.
Meghan_G

Our tour was nothing like what others have described. I should have realized when we pulled up what an awful experience it was going to be. The horses look extremely malnourished and aggravated. Our guides did not speak any English, so there was no explanation of anything. Instead of riding on the beach we were on Rocky Mountains where I was terrified for my life. My horse did not cooperate. We should have helmets. If the horse slipped or we did, we would have been seriously injured. We also saw no beach, no baby bridge, no gold area. Nothing. Just mountains. I ended up getting off my horse and walking back due to how unsettled my horse was. So disappointing and such a waste of money. Please review all pictures. Someone was seriously injured!!!

Dear Meghan, We are sorry to read about your experience. We apologize for any inconvenience. However, please allow us to address your issues. Firstly, you did not book a beach ride but only the country side. You were toured privately and had the guide all to yourself. Upon booking you selected spanish as language and therefore got a spanish speaking guide. Secondly, we always have helmets available and you were offered one before the ride but declined since it would ruin your pictures. Thirdly, we also have rescue horses which none of them are being used for touring. All our trail horses are very well trained and there was absolutely no reason to walk beside the horse. Sure, horseback riding does have its risks just as any other excursion. But our ranch has never been involved in any injuries caused by our horses. We have toured thousands of guests and when isntructions are properly followed there is nothing to fear but everything to enjoy!

Great time our tour guide did an amazing job. He took great pics, told great jokes, and kept the entire trip entertaining. Also, for my first time riding a horse he made me feel comfortable and safe. Would definitely recommend if you want to have a good time and also to slow things down and take in the views!!

Our guide, Rock, was amazing! At first I found it a little odd that he didn't ride a horse with us. Of all the many times that I've gone riding, this is the first time that the guide actually walked and didn't ride. Not only did he walk, but when we got by the beach, he ran and so did the horses! He's quite friendly, very knowledgeable and an awesome photographer. The fact that he walked allowed him to take several pictures of us by very picturesque locations.
