If you are visiting St. Lucia DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS EXPERIENCE! I researched a handful of horseback riding establishments and could not find a single poor, unhappy, or unhealthy review regarding East Coast Stables.
The drive was about an hour 20 minutes from our resort and that is another reason I recommend East Coast Stables. We saw the entire island, the guides were incredible. They stopped for us so we could take photos, buy some local jewelry and educated us along the way. Once we got to the Stables we were surprised with a private ride and told if we were experienced and comfortable we could trot or gallop!
The other 2 guides that took us out in the horses was also an awesome experience. We stopped for coconut water they climbed trees to grab them, break them open and got an awesome lesson on the islands fruits!
Lastly and most importantly to me was the horses ALL seemed happy and healthy!
10/10 recommend I cannot WAIT to go back!!

I was so scared at first, but the East Coast Stables team did everything to reassure and calm me! They were patient and very understanding! The experience itself was exciting. Learning a little about the island's history and having your senses awakened by the past was euphoric! Very impressed!

I used the live chat to help me book and it was seamless. The chat agent was very helpful. Our driver was right on time to pick us up and was super friendly. Our guides for the horse ride were actually children but they were awesome! Very helpful and knowledgeable about the areas we rode through and great with the horses. They made sure we had an enjoyable experience. They had cold drinks of our choice ready for us when we returned and fresh bananas (we were in banana tree area). Would definitely do it again and recommend it to anyone looking for a great horseback riding experience.

We loved our tour guides, two very knowledgeable gentleman, one 16 and one 15, showing us the foliage and land of St. Lucia. The guides knew these horses and their personalities very well and you could tell there was a deep sense of trust between the animals and their guides. My wife and I loved our experience and would 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic horseback riding tour! Enjoyed every minute! My husband and I cruise yearly and always try to take a horseback riding on the beach excursion. Sometimes, the cruise line does not offer such excursions, or we find a better offer through Viator which we have used on several occasions and has never proven to be a disappointment. This tour, was amazing. We were picked up at the cruise port, our driver was prompt and courteous. He provided history of the island, pointed out important things and views and stopped for us to get pictures a few times. Once at the stable, we were greeted warmly by the staff. Most were young boys who guided each horse on our journey. This was the first time of many horseback riding excursions, that each horse actually had their own guide. Both my husband's and my guides were wonderful. They were social, humorous and knowledgeable about the area giving us information about the spices, bananas and views we saw throughout our ride. Once we reached a certain area, there was a guide who provide other information but then left our own guide to finish the tour. We were guided to the beach wher we were able to get off our horses and relax (swim if you wished to do so) then got back on our horses and were guided along the beach allowing the horses to walk along the water getting their feet wet although we did not actually go into the water with our horses. Upon our return to the stable we were assisted off our horses and given a relaxing and refreshing drink of our choice. We returned to our ship with the same driver and enjoyed every minute of this adventure. Highly recommend.

Even though only two of us were signed up for that day, it was not cancelled. We were met at the pier by our ship and then driven to the east side of the island where the stable is located.
Our ride took us through a banana and plantain plantation and our guides gave us thyme, bay and cinammon leaves to crush and smell. They also gave us love apples and cacao seeds to eat and suck on! Delicious! We also rode through an outdoor amphitheater that had an old sugar cane factory from the 1870s where a guide told us all about the factory and its mechanization.
We ended up on a deserted beach where we were the only ones present and our guide sliced open a coconut for us to drink it’s milk. Then there was opportunity for a little run on the beach with the horses.
Back up the rocky path to the stable where we were given local bananas and soft drinks.

If you want to add a little adventure to your trip, definitely add this experience! The scenery was beautiful and I had the beach to myself and a few local kids. I loved it!

Great trip. Loved every minute of it. Steep terrain in spots but I said a prayer and went with the flow. The horses were lovely. Scenery was spectacular. I’ve read the other reviews. How people didn’t read the description of this excursion and not wear insect repellent and sunscreen is beyond me. You will have a wonderful time. No stress. No problem. Thank you to everyone for making the entire time fun.

This was an amazing experience, our driver Andre was really friendly and our guide Keith was very knowledgeable about the area and the history. The horses are very well looked after and Sunshine was very patient with me, a very well behaved horse. The trail was great, stunning Ocean views, historical landmarks, seeing all kinds of fruit trees, riding through the banana plantation through the forest and into the sea. We stopped at a desolate beach where Keith climbed a tree and dropped some coconuts for us to enjoy. A really kind man with a pure love of nature and animals it was such a pleasure to experience this with you as our guide. Was the highlight of our experience here in St lucia and would encourage anyone to try it. It was great to also to see the eastern side of the island and with stunning views on the journey there from our resort. Thank you for such a wonderful day.
