Beach Horseback Ride and Swim

After meeting and greeting your driver/tour guide, you will be transported to a private beach where your Beach Horseback Ride and Swim adventure will begin. You will be greeted by the eager staff of Sand and Saddle, the Horseback Ride facility, who will be waiting to show you a good time. You will receive a safety briefing before setting out on your ride. Helmets are provided and are mandatory to be worn. The ride will be a single file ride. Your ride will be slow along the trail as most riders are not experienced. There will be places along the way where the horses will be able to trot a little. Your guide will point out the variety of local vegetables grown by farmers on the rural trail, which will lead you onto a stretch of white sandy beach, where you will experience the tranquil beauty of the Caribbean Sea. Next is a trail that takes you back to the private beach. On arrival at the beach the guides will assist you to dismount your horse so that you can get ready for the swim before you strip down to your bathing suits, for a dash through the waves on horseback.We do not keep the saddles on for the swim. We take them off but we use a bareback pad. Enjoy this once in a Lifetime experience of swimming on your horse in paradise. With this experience you will enjoy riding the horse for approximately 45 minutes, which includes the swim section of approximately 5 minutes. Please remember to wear swimwear water shoes/sneakers and to bring towel (swimsuit can be worn under your clothes). Proper attire long pants /shorts just below the knees, water shoes/ sneakers, remember to bring a towel.
