Aruba Horseback Riding

Aruba horseback riding takes you through the quiet countryside (the kunuku) and along the rugged north coast, places most visitors only see from a car window. Rides usually last one to two hours and suit beginners, with guides matching each rider to a calm horse.

What a ride is like

Most rides move at a walk with optional trotting for experienced riders. Some routes stop at a secluded beach or natural landmark. Early-morning and late-afternoon rides are cooler and have the best light for photos.
