Matt is an excellent guide, very patient with new riders as some of us were on the horses the first time. The horses are well trained and easy to work with. We spent nearly two hours on the beautiful and rugged side of Aruba island and loved every minute of it. I highly recommend Matt and his team.

It was a very fun experience! Baby beach and Mangel Halto just has breathtaking views and very clear water which is perfect for water activities. Our instructor and driver was super friendly and patient. I will come back and book them again in the future.

This horseback ride, speaking as a beginner rider, was amazing. Our guides were there to keep us safe, guided and entertained. They went above and beyond!
