Traveler reviews
Do not recommend
I’m not even sure where to start, but I’ll begin by saying I would not recommend this company at all. Do not book with them. Once you arrive in Jamaica, the lack of communication and overall customer service is terrible. The employees are very disrespectful and speak to you as if you owe them something, even though you are the customer. While we were eventually met with an apology from the owner, the experience was still so disappointing that I can’t recommend this business. Please do your research, there is other local company that offers better service and actually cheaper services. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
Definitely doing it again
I can not say enough good things about this place. The bus ride over was very enjoyable, the bus driver Melissa was so sweet and gave us so much history/knowledge as well as show and tell/ prizes. The ride was amazing for all experience levels, more experienced riders did get a chance to go a little quicker, however we all got to run in the water. They were very good about choosing horses that matched peoples weight as well as comfort level. Lincoln, and all the trail guides were so kind, patient and overall made everyone feel included and welcome.
Best experience
Staff amazing.Stay knowledgeable and know what they are doing to make sure you have the best experience and safe,Staff sit down and explain history and help with making sure you get good pictures.
Awesome
Family trip with our 6 year old daughter. It was her first time on a horse and she did amazing! The guides were so friendly and helpful, we never felt worried for her safety! Definitely recommend.
Paid $52 for 4 photos and never got them!
I recently went on a cruise and took part in a horseback riding excursion on the beach, which was a beautiful experience. During the excursion, photos were taken and we were given the option to purchase them. I selected four photos and paid $52 with the understanding that they would be emailed to me. Unfortunately, I never received the photos despite providing my email and payment at the time. I’ve waited patiently and even checked my spam/junk folders multiple times with no luck. It’s disappointing to have paid for memories that I now don’t have. I hope the company will take accountability and either send the photos as promised or issue a refund. I’d love to update this review with a positive outcome, but as of now, I’m left frustrated and disappointed.
