Such a great experience!! - Bring a towel for the saddle and a camera for the sights. And your sense of humor cause the guide is hilarious- if you bring a hat make sure it ties around your neck

Lovely Ride! - We had a lovely ride from the ranch to the natural swimming pool in Arikok National Park. The horses were Paso Finos which was a first for me. The horses are very well cared for and well mannered. I throughly enjoyed riding a gaited horse. Listen to Patrick, or whoever your guide is, and their instructions. They know these horses and really want you to enjoy your experience. The horses also know what they are doing. Relax and enjoy. We walked, trotted (gaited very smooth), and cantered. So fun. Take your snorkle/mask and water shoes. Lots of fish see!

Life Changing! - This was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. Patrick is incredibly in tune with the horses and cultivates an extremely special spiritual experience for everyone involved. It’s important to get away from all the tourist traps and see the actual land of Aruba. The scenery on this horse back riding trip is INSANE - worth every penny - would come back to Aruba just to do this trip. The horses were so beautiful and very well trained and taken care of. They take really good care of you too - we were in good hands.

Rancho loco fantastic - Patrick and Priscilla were wonderful. Patrick is a true horse whisperer and a people whisperer too. He reads people well and is so charismatic and charming he made the experience exceptional. Everyone loved it. The cool breezes on the trails were a surprise. The lagoon was so cool and so much fun and refreshing. The horses were superb and Patti k did a great job matching us. I felt like a real cowboy galloping up and down the trails. Soooooooo great!! Thank you and thank my horse Liberty. Xxxxooooo Jan Julia Sandra Kerry Stephanie and Josh !!!

Very fun and great... - Very fun and great experience. The horses are majestic and the tour guides were very nice, thoughtful and funny. The weather when we went was sunny with little clouds so I recommend bringing a towel to sit on the saddle, a hat to cover your head, water for refreshment, and lots of sunscreen. We didn’t spend much time at the natural pool, most of the tour was riding the horse. Still, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend.

Wonderful horses at Rancho Loco - We had such an incredible time on the Horseback Ride Tour to the Natural Pool in Arikok National Park. Our guide, Jackson, was absolutely fantastic, so knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we felt comfortable the entire ride. The horses were clearly well cared for and well trained, which made the experience even better. We rode Pegasus and Muñeca, and they were both absolutely wonderful, calm, responsive, and had so much personality. The scenery was breathtaking, and riding through the park to reach the natural pool was unforgettable. This tour was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Aruba, it’s an experience you won’t forget!

Great time riding through National Park! - This was an amazing experience! First off, Patrick and Prisilla were amazing guides. This was only my 2nd time horseback riding. It was so cool. The views were amazing riding through the desert in the national park and then seeing the coastline and ocean. Swimming at the Natural Pool was amazing too. If I could, it would get 10 out of 5 stars! I suggest booking this tour through Rancho Loco!
