Tropical Trail Rides

Fantastic experience! People were super nice and matched their well cared horses very well with each individuals riding experience. Even people with zero previous experience were enjoying this ride. Our guide Stacy was very nice and attentive to people and horses. Beautiful ride on the beach and tropical forest with breathtaking views. Loved our horses Amendra and Galante❣️ Thank you Tropical Trail Ride crew for sharing your precious horses with us! - Ester & Luigi

Amazing experience! Me and my family booked the sunset experience and it was all of our first times on a horse. The staff did a great job at explaining how to safely guide and ride the horses. The trail is beautiful and the beach is breathtaking. Our tour guide was friendly and shared information along the way. You can tell they are close with the horses and enjoy what they do. This experience is 10/10 definitely!

This was a very enjoyable and fun experience!! You can tell that everyone there really cares and takes care of the horses. They made sure we were safe and knew how to properly ride and steer the horses. I highly recommend Tropical Trails!!!

Here’s a review you could use: We booked horseback riding for our daughter’s 11th birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience! Javier did an excellent job guiding us, even though three out of the four of us had never ridden a horse before. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely at ease. The trail ride was beautiful, and the moment we reached the beach was absolutely magical. Javier & all of the staff made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time throughout. This was the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion, and we can’t recommend it enough. Thank you, Javier, for an amazing experience!

Tropical Trail rides offers the most diverse riding experience on the island. You walk along one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, the sounds of crashing waves and birds in such a serene setting is spectacular. You also ride through trails in an Almond forest, finally arriving at the gorgeous Survival beach where you take a break. Our guide Albert was so knowledgeable about the area and took photos of us at the half way point. The horses are well taken care of, and the guides seem to really enjoy their job and take pride in making sure each guest has an amazing experience.

My daughter loves horses and wherever we go she always wants to do a horse trail. I did my research online and am so glad I chose this one. We did the 2 hour 9am tour with Javier. He was a wonderful guide, friendly and informative. I can say this is the first time I felt comfortable riding and really enjoyed it. My daughter really liked the fact that we trotted a few times as most trails in the states are at a very slow pace. The horses were all very friendly and well taken care of. I highly recommend it. The beach views and forest views were amazing. We will definitely do it again next time we visit PR.

We had such a great time on our private trail ride with Luis! He made the whole experience fantastic by pointing out different plants and trees along the way and sharing cool facts about the area. The scenery was beautiful, and we would definitely do another trail ride with him next time—we highly recommend it!

Best day. Stacey was a fantastic trail guide. We opted for the 2 hour private ride. It was excellent. We had some fantastic views on the beach and in the forest. The horses were gentle and responsive. The property was absolutely exceptional. Wish we could have spent the whole day there. Great job to the whole team. Hope to see you all again

Such an an amazing experience. We came a few years ago and just had to come back. My daughter loves horses and these horses are so well taken care of. Alexis was such a great tour guide and knew his horse trivia lol. Thank you guys for an unforgettable experience

So pleasant and sooth ride. The people there were amazing and vary caring.I had an amazing time with Tropical Trail Rides! The entire experience was well-organized, and the guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. The horses were well cared for and easy to ride, making it enjoyable for both beginners and experienced riders. The best part? Riding along the breathtaking beach and even getting to take the horses into the water--an unforgettable moment! The views were stunning, and the entire ride felt like a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. If you're looking for a unique and memorable experience in Puerto Rico, Tropical Trail Rides is a must! Highly recommend it!

Our tour guide Colton was amazing and so chill! We had a great time during our tour. It was my husbands first time doing horse back riding and they were so patient and made him feel so comfortable doing it! And the trail was so peaceful

We drove 2.5 from Loiza to Aguadilla just for this and it was worth it. The views were beautiful and our horses were sweet and followed the pack. I had the pleasure of riding Ginger and my favorite part was when we would ride fast through the woods and had to dodge the branches. Our guide was amazing (I forgot her name but she lived in Orlando for a few years) and you can tell she enjoys her job. 10/10 would recommend and do it again

I had a nice time in Puerto Rico, but horseback riding here was by far the best part of my trip! I'm an experienced rider, but it had been 30 years since I last rode, and it felt great to be in the saddle again. I was given a silver horse named Smokey, and my husband had a bay horse named Galante. My husband was basically a first-time rider, and the guide looked after him and the other beginners. The horses appear to be healthy and well-cared for; they are Paso Finos or mixes and smaller than most horses in the mainland. So, the weight limit is understandable and something to be aware of. Our ride started in a ritzy residential neighborhood, then went to a meadow path and led to the beach. We went on another forested path to enter the beach again. After resting the horses for about ten minutes, we took another trail back. I loved every minute of it, and my husband did pretty well. The ranch is not easy to find. We discovered that Google maps is more effective here than the map function that comes with your I-Phone.

I'm so happy I chose this horseback ride! It couldn't have been more perfect! Beautiful scenery, well taken care of horses with great temperaments(Zeus and Harmony were perfectly picked for us!), and very kind people to make sure you're comfortable! Our guide Javier was great! The ride on the beach was glorious! Thank you for an amazing time Tropical Trailrides! We will definitely return!

Oh, if there were an option to give this place negative stars, I would happily indulge. The woman running this operation is not only the poster child for unprofessionalism but also a masterclass in rudeness and outright condescension. She singlehandedly managed to ruin our day--and, might I add, a chunk of our vacation--so kudos for that. Let me break it down for you: we made reservations for myself, my sister, her husband, and their two kids--an 8-year-old and a 6-year-old. Fully aware of the age requirement, we came prepared. Or so we thought. Upon arrival, this delightful woman immediately pounced, declaring that my niece and nephew's closed-toed hiking sandals weren't sufficiently closed. Apparently, a few side vents were the equivalent of wearing flip-flops. We improvised, with my brother-in-law and me sacrificing our socks to appease the almighty gatekeeper. Another employee helped us with paperwork and payment, so we thought we were finally in the clear. But no, Her Majesty stormed over to interrogate my six-year-old nephew like she was conducting a criminal investigation. He's a sweet, special kid who, unsurprisingly, got nervous with this towering, condescending woman firing off questions to him. But the pièce de résistance? She demanded proof of his age. When we didn't have documentation (because who carries their kid's birth certificate on vacation?), she had the nerve to suggest we scour social media to find proof. Excuse me? When we couldn't provide documentation, my brother-in-law left with my nephew. As if that wasn't ridiculous enough, while the rest of us were literally sitting on the horses, the woman approached me, demanding my brother-in-law sign the receipt before we could ride. I explained he had already left, and my sister asked if he could sign it later when he came back. Naturally, the answer was "no." So, mid-mount, we had to pay with another card and sign the receipt on horseback. Absolute lunacy. Let's not even discuss the absurdity of still being charged for my brother-in-law and nephew under their "cancellation policy." We didn't cancel. We were forced into this situation because proving a child's age wasn't on our vacation checklist. Oh, and the icing on the cake? The guide wore Croc sandals, and the rude woman herself was traipsing around in flip-flops. Hypocrisy much? To top it all off, let me address the laughable assumption that age and grade are somehow universally aligned. My son, a junior at one of the most prestigious colleges in the U.S., is 21, nearly 22. So yes, it is possible for ages to vary, despite your apparent disbelief. Here's a tip: I completely understand your establishment having insurance requirements; however, when dealing with paying customers and their children on vacation, perhaps try using a tone that doesn't reek of disdain. Your behavior was beyond disrespectful, unprofessional, and unacceptable. Learn some basic manners.

Nice experience. Great staff and they were patient to our needs. Horses we all chill wow they were out doing tours. We got a chance to see some of the staff taking care of the horses

This was the most amazing experience we have ever had! Javier was an incredible guide! Definitely recommend Javier for your ride! Super friendly and great guide! The entire staff was very friendly! Great facilities! Very accommodating! Healthy, happy horses! Beautiful ride along the beach! This is a must have experience when in Puerto Rico. Thank you for the amazing time!

I can sum Tropical Trail Rides in one word. SPECTACULAR!! Horseback riding on the beach has been a bucket list item since I was 10. And now, at 58, I can check it off. From the wonderful and extremely professional and knowledgeable staff, including our guide Doug and my wonderful horse Harmony, to amazing views of the beach to riding through the Almond Tree Forest, there is not one thing I would change. I can not recommend them highly enough! The ranch is beautiful and the horses are happy and healthy. Thank you for helping me check something off my bucket list. Whether you are a new rider or you've been riding for 30 years, this is the place to go if you want to have an amazing experience!!

Booked a private trail ride with friends 24 hours in advance. Filled out all the paper work and paid. The checkin process was weird, you're at a house and no one greats you or says anything. Even though you're already charged you have to show the card with ID, which we didn't know. Showed up to do the ride and they weigh you on this really janky scale that never really resets to 0. You have to be weighed in with everything you bring, backpacks, water, jackets, camera equipment and if it's over 250 lbs including yourself by even 1 pound they deny you and don't offer a refund. I understand it's for the horses, but the lady was telling me they end up turning away people every day, without a refund. That's the part that is messed up. So if you are even close to 250 lbs before any clothing or gear don't go! The scale is not accurate. There are no ifs, ands, or buts, or redos.

We had an amazing Trail ride. Clancy was amazing as well, very friendly and outgoing. Would definitely recommend and use again!!!! Happy Trails!!

Tropical Trail ride was absolutely outstanding! I had called around a bunch of different venues to see if they offered experienced riders the ability to do more than walk on the trail ride. Michelle with tropical trail ride said absolutely we do and booked us on a private ride with wrangler Doug. This has by far been the best trail ride I have ever done. My husband and I got to walk, trot, and do lots and lots of loping along the trail and on the beach stopping to give our horses a good rest while we lazed around in the rock pools looking at the beautiful fish and enjoying a lovely cool down. Our wrangler, Doug, was so much fun! He made us feel very at ease, gave great instruction, and made sure we had an excellent time and got what we paid for. The facility itself is beautiful, and it is very clear that the horses are very loved, and very well cared, for. I would absolutely come back to this place again, and again. They tailored the ride to suit what we were looking for.

Really such a nice experience! Great horses, thoughtful guides, and the most beautiful serene scenery. We will be back!

We had an amazing experience! We recommend coming here but maybe next time we would try somewhere else. The only complaints I have is that the owner is a bit rude. She made a comment about me being 5 minutes late even though no one was on their horses and we still waited about 25 minutes before we even got on a horse. Another issue we had was that the ride on the beach was only 5-10 minutes the rest is in the woodsy area which is still very nice but we expected more beach ride time. For $80 a person before tax if using card it is crazy the guides asks for a tip! Overall great horse experience would recommend you try this place.

I had such a good time riding horses here. I recommend this place. We picked the two hour trail. You have to pre-book it. It comes with a guide. They are very professional and knowledgeable. I would advise to follow the pre instructions. They will give you a recomendations on how to dress for the ride. I would follow it. It is a nice trail. You go through grass and canopies of tree. It is so relaxing and beautiful. They then take you by the beach too. It is a secluded beach i think they called it survivors Beach. They gave the horse a little break halve way the trails. We where able to have some horse time pet and take pictures at this time. It is a good time to drink water. I had a great experience. The horses are so gentle and well behaved. The pair you with a horse depending on level of your experience. I had a great time.

The ride was amazing!!! Enjoyed the horses!! This was my first time riding. The instructor help us out a lot.

The trail in the Forrest and beach view is so beyond beyond. The horses listen and are well taken care of. They do a mid point stop, highly recommend bringing water with you. It is two hours but so worth it. My horse was Alamo..a wonderful male horse.

this has to be the most racist place I've ever been to, i called ahead of time to book a reservation and told Michelle we would be paying with cash, she or whoever she had in the office processed to tell us to come at 3:00 and we would be good to ride . We get there at 3:00 and she comes out doesn't look in in the face and is being very blunt and rude (we were the only people of color there) meanwhile other people asked questions and she having full blown conversations with them. So DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE SHE'LL IGNORE YOU TOO!!!!

We went to PR for a girlfriends 40th birthday and 1 of the things on her list was to go horseback riding on a beach. So I googled this this. They did not disappoint. Horses are assigned according to your weight. They gave a discount if you pay with cash. We stayed 2 hours away. So make sure you plan out your travel time. Definitely would recommend!

I unfortunately was not able to attend my reservation due to issues with transportation. But I would like to say customer service was great. There was no hassle to cancel and get a refund for my purchase. Very smooth process as long as you make sure to cancel a week before your event.

Meh... I felt rush, didn't start on time and our guide was a little rude. I thought it was going to be a peaceful ride but it wasn't, All the fast paced ruined it! No, I wouldn't come here again. I did one in palomino and THAT was an awesome experience!!!

be careful before booking these people!! If u are traveling with children I urge you to book anywhere else. if U love animals I recommend u don't come here as it will ruin the rest of your day. The homeless horses on the island look in way better shape than the horses here. save your money these people are just here to collect a fee per person even if u don't jump on a horse for WHATEVER reason zero stars will NEVER return here again even if it was free

A group of us (10 total) booked a ride and we all had a great time. The owners and staff we interacted with were very friendly. Trail ride was interesting, diverse, and included a fair amount of trotting. The guides were clear and we always felt very taken care of. Have done a few horseback rides on vacations and this was one of the best experiences we've had. We loved that they took lots of pictures of our group. If you have a big group, give the company a heads up so they can put you all together.

This was an amazing experience, our favorite art of a 7 day stay in San Juan (yes we made the 2.5 hour drive, and it was worth it)! Thank you Alberto for the amazing private tour We will remember it for years

My experience was amazing! It was my first time riding a horse and everyone made it such a simple process! Doug was my guide and he was by far my favorite of the guides! He made everything fun, he told stories he made us laugh. The energy he brought to the business and the horses was nothing but spectacular.

Hands-down one of our best excursions thus far in Puerto Rico. It is very evident that the horses at this ranch are very much loved and well taken care of. As a first time rider I immediately felt as ease on my horse due to her gentile nature - again, evident that she is well cared for. Our guide Sara was wonderful and easy to tell that she loves what she does. The 2hr ride was just amazing as we rode on beaches as well as through the forest. The ranch owner Karen and her family run a wonderful operation and personifies the small business owners that have been impacted by the hurricane. They've managed to pick themselves up, rebuild their lives and continue on. This is how we as tourist can begin to help Puerto Rico, by supporting these small business owners who offer an excellent product/service. We will absolutely be back soon for another ride!

We totally enjoyed our horseback riding experience at Tropical Trail Rides. The scenery is breathtaking. We went thru a wooded area and walked up a hill that opened up to the most amazing views of the beach and ocean. The mix of sun and shade on this experience is perfect. Our guide Albert was friendly and shared his knowledge, with us, about, Puerto Rico, the beach we were on, the horses and the plants that we saw. This was my sons first time on a horse and he had no issues. The team at Tropical Trail Rides, totally prepared us for the experience. I highly recommend this experience, and hope I can come back and do it again someday.

If you are visiting Puerto Rico and looking for a fun activity- this is it! One of the first things I noticed on the farm was how healthy and well cared for the horses looked. The staff was very helpful and accommodating with scheduling and I was able to book about 45 minutes before the first tour (although I wouldn't recommend that... do a little preplan). The trails were beautiful and the beaches- amazing! This is a must-do when visiting the area!

Juan is a careful and considerate guide and very handsome - reminds me of Tom Cruise on Top Gun :-) The horses are clearly given love and not over worked. I heard they even give them acupuncture treatments. The trail was just right and the views on the beach are priceless. These owners have a beautiful atmosphere where its clear their employees and horses are respected.

We had a great experience with Tropical Trail Rides. The property and stables are very well maintained. The horses are beautiful, clean and healthy. The staff is very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Our tour host, Jose was exceptional. He was very attentive to everyone in our group. He was patient, positive and a great guide. Thank you TTR and Jose.

No matter where you are staying on the island this gorgeous 2 hour trail ride is well worth your time and money ($50). Amazing ocean front ride, the trail leading up to the beach was also nice with a lot of history from when the US Military occupied the area. The staff was super cool and at least for my group, we weren't just mushing along slowly. We had the opportunity to trout which you never get in the states. Will be back, every trip back!!

This was the highlight of our trip. The horses were responsive, beautifull, and very well cared for Paso Finos stabled on pristinely maintained grounds. They craft the ride to your skill level. Our guide led us through the forest to two stunningly gorgeous beaches, and from a newcomer's perspective, it was so lushly verdant one would never know Hurricane Maria hit here. Also, for a surprisingly reasonable price you can go next door to the very luxurious gated Villa Montana resort restaurant for drinks on the beach or an excellent meal after your ride. Show less

I have been afraid of horses my entire life, now at 22 I can officially say I am in aw of these beautiful creatures. Such beautiful scenery, kind people and well behaved horses. The trail we went through was equally as gorgeous as exciting. From the greenery to the ocean- the trail alone was worth the experience. I truly enjoyed how the horses are able to stop as they please, eat as they were trotting. I had never been on a horse before and I felt incredibly safe. Made my first trip to Puerto Rico! Thank you!

Wonderful experience! Horses were well cared for, guide was great and ride was perfect for our family even with our 3 year old. Definitely will return on our next trip .

Amazing 2 hour experience riding on the beach. I loved that it was not just a trail but we got to trot as well. Very professional and the horses are well cared for. Highly recommend!! Will definitely be back on our next trip!

This was amazing!! Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable and my horse was perfect for me, an inexperienced rider. I highly recommend this place!

A group of friends and I went to Tropical Trail Rides for a 3:00PM ride last week. Unfortunately, because of seasonality, it was $50 per person. Did we enjoy the ride? Yes! But could it have been better? Definitely. The trail was fun and the experience was novel and enjoyable. Riding horses on the plains, some simple trails, and on the beach! It's as amazing as it sounds. The problem were the horses. For some reason, we got horses that were not very obedient. One of my friends got bruised from her horse taking a left instead of a right on the trail. Several of my friends got horses that were old and didn't listen to their guidance and kept lagging behind. Several of my friends got horses that were younger and nervous and easily spooked and excitable. Maybe it's because we had a party of 11, so they had to use horses that they usually don't use... but some of those trail horses should not be put on the trail. Personally, my horse was also coughing the whole time -- poor Misty.

Myself and my 11-year old son did the Tropical Trail Rides 2-hour beach ride and were very impressed with everything, including the price of $45.00. This is a very professional business that does not overcharge like so many horse-riding places do. The actual ride was the best horse ride I have ever had, and I have been riding horses since I was 8 years old. We rode through lush trails, a forest and on two different deserted beaches. Can't do those beach rides in the 50 states. The horses were all healthy, well-groomed, and were well-behaved. Of the seven people in the riding group, two were first-time riders. They were relaxed and did well. The female guide from Dallas, Texas was very sweet. My young horse, Calypso, was probably the best horse I have ever ridden. With him I could have been on automatic pilot the whole time. He knew everything to do, and where to go, and tried so very hard to do the right thing always. He was so conscientious it was very cute. (He thought he was one of those Spanish dancer horses - sshhh don't tell him he is not in Spain). The very nice owners let us stay parked at their ranch so we could walk down to the snorkeling beach about 100 yards away. The parking outside the ranch is almost non-existent for the very nice Shacks beach nearby, so that was much appreciated.

Great people running this place! Great horses with attitudes that is just a joy. If you're a big guy ask for calypso or rusty and if you're a woman, jade, Dakota or sambuka will be awesome. It's been a tradition of ours to come here since our two girls were about 3 and now the youngest is 15 and her favorite horse is still around. Make sure you interact with the guides, they are great people.

I do not recommend Tropical Trails. My friend and I went on the two hour group ride. Upon arrival the lady checking us in was unfriendly and cold. We got weighed and were assigned horse. I (who was on the heavier end on the weight range) went to go get on my horse while the owner, Michelle, approached my friend and very rudely asked her, "are you sure she's going to be able to get back on the horse by herself?" When my friend told me what she had said during the break I was shocked. If it had been a real concern then she should have asked me, not gone behind my back and asked my friend. Additionally, during the break, the male owner without consent proceeded the rub my friend's arms and shoulders after she mentioned she was a massage therapist. These advances combined with the fatphobic comment made us both very uncomfortable. My friend, who was in the front of the line, tells the male owner about the comment that was said to her and in response he tells her, "tell her Michelle is actually really nice" and if I would want a free t shirt because of that comment. After the ride (which was less than two hours) I approached the owner and calmly explained her comment about me being unable to get back on the horse to my friend was inappropriate and rude; that she should have asked ME about MY own ability to get on the horse or not. Instead of apologizing she tries to move our conversation away from the other riders and says her husband has a broken rib and couldn't help me get back on the horse. I reiterate that she should've asked me, not my friend. The owner then says, "99% of people your weight can't get back on the horse by themselves." I lift 6x a week in the gym, I had no problem getting back onto the horse myself. If such a large percentage of "people my weight" have an issue getting back on their horse then they should lower their weight limit because they're clearly uncomfortable with participants whose weights are closer to the weight limit. Throughout the conversation she constantly says "I'm sorry, but..." indicating it wasn't a real apology. I try to end the conversation by saying I will leave a review based on my experience. Her husband then very heated joins the conversation to say I "couldn't get on the horse by myself and my friend needed to help me" my friend is 5'2" 110 pounds, even if I needed her assistance she physically wouldn't have been able to do so. The husband continues to say that me leaving a review is "not nice" and "people make mistakes" and going to "ruin their business" and that we "didn't know what hurricane Maria did to them" trying to guilt trip us into not leaving a review. We walked away after realizing that they weren't sorry and just wanted to continue to argue. I wasn't expecting anything out of the conversation but a genuine apology and for them to learn that those types of comments are rude and hurtful but they instead chose to become defensive and agitated.

Great two hour trail ride! About an hour out along the beach, then a break to rest and enjoy the beach for ten minutes; some photo opportunities and return along a different route in the Forrest. Horses are small (13 hands?), but up to the task. Everyone was extremely nice and we'll definitely return! Like my review, friend and follow me!

Amazing experience on the beach! I admit that I was super nervous about riding as I've never been on a horse before. They selected a gentle horse for me and gave me some commands. The guides were awesome in making sure I was comfortable during the ride. I was nervous for no reason-the horses are well-trained and know and follow the route by themselves. The ride was about 2 hours. Some of it was on the beach with another portion being in the forest. The ride on the beach was like something from a movie-this beach has no buildings and no people. The guides let us stop and took photos of us. For $50 per person this was an amazing experience. I would definitely recommend it.

Let me start by saying our guide, Sarah, was awesome. We chatted quite a bit and thoroughly enjoyed her company. She is also very confident and competent at her job and made us feel safe. The horses are very well cared for and the grounds are gorgeous. I wish I could give more stars. But, the advertisement on the website is inaccurate. We booked the 3:30 ride and specifically stated that we were going on that ride for the sunset. However, I am guessing, because of the time of year and length of ride ???? we did not see the sunset at all. Also, post hurricane Maria you do not see caves and do not do any hiking. Just be aware that things have changed. I hope they will update their website, as it is a little misleading.

Soooo fun. Would recommend it to anyone. The scene is beyond beautiful. The beach is like none other!

Michelle and Craig, I CAN'T thank you enough! The experience was WELL worth the drive! Michelle, I have no words for how kind you are. I appreciate you so much for assisting me with the surprise for Darren! You have amazing staff and Jeremy was an awesome tour guide. I shed a tear once we reached the cove. Lunch at eclipse was great! And he had no idea about anything. I will recommend your company to anyone who will listen. You guys are such a blessing! Best of luck to you guys and your business!

It was defiantly a great time & money well spent for the time & duration...I just wished we had more time to take pictures on the beach...Jessica & Sara were awesome & super helpful with our large group .

I just left my tour with tripod trail rides and it was amazing!!!!! The land that it's situated on is what dreams are made of. Beautiful well cared for horses and the trails are fantastic. We will be back! Thank you guys

Overall great experience, the guide John was more than personable. The visage was absolutely spectacular.You get more than your moneys worth for the price. Will be back again for sure.
