We thoroughly enjoyed our Spirit of the West experience. The private swim/ride was awesome as it allowed us to customize our own unique adventure. SINBAD was perfect for someone who hadn't ridden in a while and CAYMAN TIME was just the ticket for a novice rider, allowing both of us to find our own comfort level yet provide an exhilarating...

Owner description:
One of the most unique ways to experience Grand Cayman! Trek along the edge of the Caribbean Sea atop one of our magnificent beauties! Enjoy a lazy walk as the surf rolls in and out at the feet of your horse. For the more adventurous, feel the wind in your hair as you canter along the white sand beach. Try something completely out of the ordinary with the swim ride - hold on tight as your horse is steered into the cool and refreshing waters of the Caribbean for a wonderful swim.The true romantics can see the softer side of Cayman with the moonlit ride during the full moon. Guided only by the natural instincts of your horse, enjoy the peaceful nirvana of paradise where the modern world is far and away!Whatever your choice, Spirit of the West delivers premium service with true Caymanian hospitality. Each ride is an experience of a lifetime and every rider feels like they have done something they will never forget!

Horseback riding on the beach was simply breath taking. The weather was perfect! The horses were very well behaved and so beautiful. This was one of my favorite things to do while on the island. I will never forget this amazing experience.

From the time I first contacted Spirit of the West to book the "sea swim" ride everything was perfect. I asked Chelsea, the co-owner, if I could specifically request certain horses and she was very helpful with this request. I also had a few questions about times, as I came by cruise ship and the times are different (because Grand...

Riding a horse is one thing, but riding one through the water is a completely different experience. If you are traveling to Grand Cayman, this is one attraction that's worth every penny.

A must do! Paul takes you out on very well trained horses along the beach. After riding for about 30 min, since we were experienced riders Paul let us trot and gallop with the horses. We did the swim with the horses so the saddles came off and off in the water we went. If you have a waterproof camera...

Spirit of the West - Caribbean Swim was an awesome experience and one of our best memories of our trip. The horses are all well behaved, healthy, and well taken care of. Paul manages the horses with ease and has such an efficient routine that there was no wasted time on this experience. This outing was worth every penny...and more!...

The outing was the highlight of our trip. My wife and twins (10 year olds) had a blast riding on the beach and ocean. Our guide helped us capture some fantastic pictures. It was a great combination of beach stroll and ocean adventure. Really fun. Don't miss it.
