Aruba Horseback Ride: Countryside & Urirama Cove with PickupYou’ll ride through Aruba’s wild cunucu on horseback with a local guide, spotting iguanas and donkeys along sandy trails before reaching secluded Urirama Cove on the northeast coast. Includes round-trip pickup from your hotel or cruise port, use of helmet, all taxes, plus time to relax at the country bar after your ride.
Aruba North Coast: Horseback Riding Tour with Bushiribana RuinsYou’ll ride along Aruba’s rugged north coast with guides who know every twist of trail, passing Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins and wide-open beaches where waves crash loud enough to drown out your thoughts. Expect personal attention in a small group, plenty of stories from locals, and moments where it’s just you, your horse, and all that wild blue space.
Aruba: Horseback Riding Wariruri Beach & Natural BridgeYou ride through Aruba's countryside to Wariruri Beach and a natural bridge formation on the north coast, with water and helmets provided. The route is scenic and low-key, designed for small groups at a manageable pace. Book if you want to see the island from a horse instead of a car, and you're comfortable in the saddle for a few hours.Is it for me?Right for travelers who want to see Aruba's north coast without a car and don't mind spending a few hours in the saddle. The ride is steady-paced and works for beginners, though you should be comfortable around horses and able to sit for the duration.
Aruba: Sunset Horseback Ride & Countryside Tour with PickupYou’ll ride through Aruba’s rugged countryside with a local guide as the sun sets over the island’s wild northeast coast. Expect real moments: horse hooves on dusty trails, ocean views from a hilltop, laughter at the ranch bar after your ride. Hotel pickup makes it easy — all you have to do is show up and let Aruba surprise you.
Horseback Riding in Aruba: Advanced Riders, Galloping AllowedA 2-hour guided horseback riding tour in Aruba's countryside for advanced riders, with the option to gallop on white sand dunes if the guide assesses you can handle it. You ride through the Cunucu (rural interior) past iguanas and parakeets, along the northeast coast where waves crash onto rocky shores, and onto a beach if weather allows. Hotel or cruise port pickup and drop-off are included; English and Western saddles are available, and the guide speaks English or Spanish.Is it for me?Book this tour if you ride regularly and want more than a walk—the guide's assessment of your skill opens up galloping on the dunes, which is what separates this from beginner rides. If you're new to riding or prefer a slower pace, the beginner option on the same ranch is a better fit.
Aruba: Horseback Ride to Natural Pool & Arikok ParkYou ride through Arikok National Park on the Nacho Trail, a vehicle-free route that climbs into the highlands with views of the whole island, then descends to the Natural Pool where you swim or explore for 30 minutes before heading back. Hotel pickup, guide instruction, park fees and water are all included; the whole experience runs about three hours.Is it for me?Right for riders who want to reach the Natural Pool without a 4x4 or a long hike, and who can handle a moderate-paced ride on horseback. Plan for about three hours total, and bring long pants and closed shoes—the saddle and brush will thank you.
