Did this during recent cruise and loved everything about it. The horses were well behaved and the guides excellent. We got a great tour heading down to the water with lots of local lore and of course that ole Jamaica "no problem" friendly attitude. When we got down to the beach (a fantastic cove) we had plenty of time to... More

My boyfriend and I booked our horseback riding adventure with Hooves several weeks in advance. One week before we even arrived in Jamaica, I noticed a charge out of my bank account for $345 from Hooves/Jamaica!!!! Needless to say, I flipped out. I immediately called my CC and then I contacted Hooves. I was told by Hooves, I authorized this... More

My 8 year old son and I did this ride. Our guides (Barry and Axtle) were great and shared some interesting facts about Jamaica and the area we were riding in. They also pointed out remnants of the past that we encountered on the old plantation grounds. We had a couple breaks to have refreshments and change before and after... More

I can't say enough good about this excursion in Jamaica. I've done several other horseback riding and while those were also exciting and must do's, I've never dreamed of being able to (well, i did dream about it, but never was able to..) horseback ride in the Ocean! I found that this horseback riding experience was truly an exotic and... More

We had so much fun with Hooves. Since we rented horses for a photoshoot, we wanted a white and dark horse to make a nice match with the wedding dress and suit. We were able to ride horses down to the beach and have an epic photo/video shoot with the horses. Here's the short video http://alturl.com/at4dg We highly recommend Hooves... More

This is a must do excursion!! this is great for experienced riders or complete novices, I did this trip with my husband who hasn't sat on a horse in 25 years but the horses are extremely well behaved and my husband was at ease the whole ride. We found the guides to be very informative, we were at the back... More

I am a horse trainer/riding instructor, so riding a horse on and through the beach was definitely a bucket list thing for me to do. Upon arriving, I did an immediate inspection of the horses, they all looked well fed, but some old and to a trained eye, I saw some old injuries and arthritis. But once I went in... More

i booked this trip for my partner's birthday whilst we wer on holiday, sent several emaisl to Alcia who was very helpful, informative and patient. I decided to book the special package for his birthday which was $200, compared to the normal package I thought this was pretty reasonable for what you got-this was a private ride, swimming in the...

This is a well run operation that takes in old horses such as retired race horses. After the safety brief and optional helmets we were taken to our horses and mounted up. We walked on horseback for about 20 minutes and then stopped while the guides took our pictures with our own cameras. then another 15 minutes to the beach... More
