Traveler Reviews

We took the morning ride and were very pleased with the experience. The ranch is located just by the beach. We were with another couple and two guides. We were able to ride along the beach area and even waded a little in the surf. We mostly walked and trotted some which was perfect. The horse's gaits were very smooth. The horses were well taken care of. Returning to the ranch we went through cactus and rocky areas. We were able to take advantage of hotel pickup ad dropoff which was much appreciated (included in the price). The driver gave us an entertaining history of the island.

Great experience! The people on our tour ranged from experienced riders to those never on a horse before. The guides and ranch workers made us all feel very safe, comfortable and well-informed. The horses were all beautiful and well trained. Very glad we went!

Gold Mine Ranch is the best horseback riding on Aruba! The staff is professional, the horses gentle, and the sights beautiful! :) Riding (even trotting) along the beach was a fantastic way to spend one of our mornings!

A beautiful tour accompanied by helpful and kind guides, I was lucky to be accompanied by the beautiful RINGO during the tour. I recommend the tour to everyone, the attention of everyone and the care of the animals was enchanting, besides the natural beauty of the place. Mashi Danki to the guides and to the family owner.

My husband and I are in Aruba on our honeymoon and chose The Gold Mine Ranch as our first excursion. Needless to say we were EXTREMELY impressed with the ranch, staff, horses and beauty of Aruba. The owner picked us up early from our hotel and both Andres and Candy took us on an amazing tour of the less seen side of Aruba. The views were 10/10 and the guides were extremely personable. We cannot wait to go back to the ranch for another ride!!
