This was one of the best experiences on Aruba and amazing way to see the wild and rugged northern part of the island! It was our first time riding a horse but the with experienced guide and amazing gentle giants it was fantastic!
The organisation of the entire tour was great: picking us up from the apartment, riding instructions, visiting quite a few landmarks and our photos taken by a guide…
Absolutely EVERYTHING was amazing! I strongly recommend The Gold Mine Ranch and its staff!

Great photo opportunities. We liked the small group experience. It was great that the horses required very little guidance from the riders.

Riding along the ocean and seeing a rainbow at the natural spring. Great time with my two daughters. The stable and horses were well cared for and the tour guides were great!

The staff was great, supportive and I got some great pics to capture this exciting memory! I would definitely do this again.

This was amazing and Jesus was the best!!! When you come to Aruba (and you should) make sure to book a ride. It will be the one of the many highlights!

I had no horseback riding experience, while my girlfriend had some. The horses were impressively well-trained, responding to the guides’ every whistle to speed up, stop, etc. We got amazing views of the desert and ocean, and the guides were kind enough to take pictures at the most scenic spots. Even though we were almost all beginners, the guides let the horses canter for significant stretches so we’d have a chance to have a more authentic experience riding a horse, rather than just walking. The tour guides were very friendly, funny, and attentive!
It was also a really nice feature that they pick you up from your hotel to take you to the ranch and drop you off afterwards (which probably saved us $70 in cab fare).

This was amazing!!!! I recommend going in the morning when there are less people around the trail, it is more peaceful. Candy and Jesus were amazing and so fun!!! Thank you for an amazing experience
