It was a nice experience. Beautiful scenery and horses Guides are great and friendly. However, our pickup from the Princess Caribe on the open air bed truck was an hour and 20 min (Nexus operator told us 25min) The seats are not very padded and the ride isn’t the smoothest so if you have a sore back or bottom be ware. The actual horseback riding is around an hour. They stop for about 20 min when they reach the beach so they can take pictures and you can too. Then you ride down the beach to a river estuary that exits into the ocean. You stop here and dismount for 30 minutes ( give or take). It’s a nice spot. Would have been nice to receive a cold water or beer at this point. You them ride back along the beach again. The horses know the routine so they are anxious to get back and try to speed up. Expect a sore bottom from bouncing in the saddle. Once you get back, you can wash your hands and then they sit the group down and show you the pictures and short videos they took and try to upsell you a copy on cd and a pint size bottle of. Mammy Juana with your picture on it for $85USD. They then guide you to a boutique on the property full of your typical tourist market items. It takes an hour from the end of the ride before you’re on the bus. Then another hour plus ride back to everyone’s resorts. Overall It’s a nice excursion with great opportunities for taking some memorable photos but they could really speed things up at the end of the ride because everyone is anxious to get back to their resort
