This was not a pleasant outing. To begin with, the guide came to pick us for 45 min laat.zed We had a guide Allexandro and ... two inexperienced, dangerous guides. Allexandro liked to show his dangerous tricks on his horse. The same horse was certainly not 2hrs. The horses began to trot naturally, and you could barely steer. Who should... More

Javier picked us up from the hotel for the afternoon trip . It appeared that no one else was riding, just 4 of us. Before we sat on horses , he tried to sell us caps, he made very negative comments that we didn’t want to buy it. We were wearing scarfs, bandannas , but he said that it won’t... More

Great staff and well cared for horses. The ride to the Natural Pool was great but the Natural Pool was above all expectations! This is a must see! The guides took time to take pictures of the couples riding. Priceless photos. The run through the ocean gave me goosebumps, highly recommend! More

My husband and I went horseback riding with Racho Daimari. Javier was our guide. We are both novices, and I felt they did not give a very thorough explanation at all before we got on the horses. Javier spent a lot of time "hassling" us to buy ball caps for $10 each from him. He also hassled the other families... More

We got much more than we expected at this ranch, which is located in the heart of the national park. As a tourist, this is pretty much the only way to enjoy the natural scenery of Aruba. The guides were very helpful, and they gave us horses to match our abilities. Best of all was a glorious gallop on the... More

Javier picked us up form the hotel, drove fast and stopped to get gas on the way to the ranch. The horses were not in the greatest of shape. Skinny and lots of cuts on their legs. The horses started leaving the stable, I tried to stop mine but was yelled at to let him go ahead. We were half... More

My wife and daughters wanted to do an adventure trip in Aruba. We were told Ranch Daimari was a reputable company to do horseback riding. We were all novices to start. Javier was our guide. He taught us how to ride and lead us on a slow, pleasant ride along the shoreline. My family was nervous at first, but after... More

We visited Rancho Daimari in October 2011 to go horseback riding and it was a good ride. It was a little rough getting there (rough terrain) but once we arrived we were able to get to know the horses for a few minutes and then had a crash course about riding (not bad). There was a good variety of different... More
