We took the 90 minute horseback riding adventure yesterday, myself, daughter and son-in-law. He gave us the history of the island on the way to the ranch. It was fascinating. When we arrived at the ranch,they gave us detailed instruction and asked our experience riding, so they could select the right horse. We had eight in our group with two... More

Jay picked us up at our hotel promptly at our scheduled time and drove us to the ranch which was about 15 - 20 minutes away. Our horses out were out and waiting for us. I did use the restroom and found it to be clean and acceptable and rather cute actually. We went prepared to ride, so we had... More

I had read the reviews on here before we went on vacation and most of the horseback tours did get good reviews, so I waited to see what the hotel would recommend. Gold Mine Ranch is was. The owner did do the pick up and had great info on the ride to the ranch. Their location is good, as it... More

My sister and I wanted to go on a trail ride while in Aruba. The timeshare suggested Gold Mine Ranch and they were right! You do not just walk on this trail ride! We had a blast! The horses wanted to go, trotting and cantering most of the time. Cantering in the ocean, over sand dunes, through the cactus and... More

Our adventure started out this way....We were greeted by the manager of the ranch and along our way there he shared many stories with us. He told us much about the island, is history, the people, and the sites we were about to see. Our horses were ready for us when we arrived and we were introduced to our guide.... More

Nine beginners, including 2 under 10. Great personable owner made us very comfortable, and two expert ranch hands led us on a beautiful sunset ride. One sang to my daughter most of the way, as she had never been on a horse before - she loved it! Pick up and drop off at hotel/resort was very convenient too.

We took a cruise to Aruba in March 2013 and we wanted to go horseback riding. My kids (ages 8 and 9) had never been riding before. We chose this ranch since it offered private tours for families with children. We didn't want to have to worry about keeping up with more experienced riders. I made my e-mail reservations and...

What a better way to see the northern end of the island than on horse! Viewing Aruba's desert, natural pool and bridge are great from this seat. Johnny will pick you up at your hotel, engage you with the history of the island on the ride to the stable and make sure to invite you back for a few more... More

We were thrilled with our riding experience at the Gold Mine Ranch. The views were breath taking and the guide allowed us to canter the dunes, ride through the water and it felt less like a guided tour and more like riding with friends. I would definitely recommend this ride to my friends.
