The Gold Mine Ranch Aruba

This was an amazing experience! The horses were so well cared for, the guides were amazing. After riding and seeing the beautiful beach and desert, we were given a delicious snack native to Aruba and taken in an open air beach to the national park where we saw the natural pool, caves and had a fish pedicure. Absolutely amazing

Horseback riding on the beach was on my lifetime bucket list. It was such an amazing experience! The kind, professional staff ensured everyone was safe and had a great time. They stopped a few times and took great photos of us. It was so convenient to be picked up and dropped off. I would highly recommend this tour.

Our experience at The Gold Mine Ranch Aruba was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, the staff was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, making sure we felt comfortable and safe throughout the ride. The horses were well cared for and easy to ride, even for beginners. The highlight of the tour was the breathtaking scenery—we rode along rugged trails, past historic gold mine ruins, and down to the stunning coastline with its crystal-clear waters. It felt like something out of a movie! The guides were fantastic, sharing interesting history about the area while also ensuring we had plenty of time to soak in the views and take photos. If you’re looking for a unique and memorable adventure in Aruba, this is it! Highly recommend The Gold Mine Ranch for couples, families, or anyone who wants to experience the island in a truly special way. We’ll definitely be back!

This was hands down my favorite experience in Aruba! Riding these incredible horses through such breathtaking scenery was unforgettable. The views were absolutely stunning, and I found myself wishing it would never end. I had so much fun and can’t wait to come back and do it all over again!

Such a great addition to our Honeymoon! Booking online was easy - as was signing the waiver. The staff was great, and very knowledgable. They take you to see a lot of the big sites, and ensure you get plenty of pictures! I liked that we didn't get off our horses because it definitely seemed like we got our money's worth out of our experience. We loved getting to see Aruba this way and I would recommend it to anyone - even if you have never ridden a horse before!

We had an absolutely wonderful time! This was a beautiful trip and an amazing way to see some of the sights of Aruba. My family of 3 were all somewhat experienced riders and they took that into account, giving the most calm horses to the inexperienced family that joined us (not that any of ours were a problem, just needed very slightly more commanding/confident riders). The horses are trained very well and really don't need any direction from the riders at all for the walk. Most of the journey was a beautiful walk through the desert and along the coast. At the end, the guides split up the two families, with ours taking the more experienced riders for a run that was exhilarating and so enjoyable. To top off an amazing experience, while waiting for our ride back to our villas, they knocked down and stripped the spines off a cactus fruit for us to eat and shared some insight about the local plant life.

We had a wonderful time! Jean Rick and Jesus gave us all the tips to safely travel. They explained how to ride the horse and guided us along the coast. Pegasso was a beautiful horse. Elegance liked to stop and eat some grass. Blanco was well behaved and a beautiful horse. Trappo was happy to trot if able. Thank you to Carlos for the ride and tips on what restaurants to visit. We really enjoyed the experience!

So we were blessed with being the only 2 people on our tour and we were on our honeymoon. The horse ranch sent a shuttle to our hotel (Tarmijin) and made the whole experience stress free. Our driver was fantastic, giving us insight into our surroundings. We loved that he pointed out where he went to school and was so friendly. At the ranch, it was awesome. There are lockers on site and the horses were beautiful! My wife has experience and I had none. I quickly felt comfortable and the guide ensured I was safe and that | could ride the horse. He would circle around in the beginning and give small tips to make my experience better. You ride to the old mine, a natural bridge, walk in the ocean, and then up a large hill in an area thick with cactus, and the guide takes your phone to take pictures along the way. My wife and I have a great picture of us kissing on the horse while the horses are standing in the water. The guide would direct you and the horse to ensure a great picture. The guide pointed out owls and most adorable, the ranch dog Rosa, follows along, keeping her distance, but wagging her tail the whole time. My wife was thrilled that the guide allowed you to gallop and allowed us to ride at a pace we wanted or were comfortable with. After, we were again provided a shuttle to our hotel. We cannot recommend enough! Our friend is going in a month to use the same company after our trip. Novice or experienced, the horses are so well trained, you will enjoy it at whatever your skill level is.
