The tour was incredible! Seeing the trail from horseback while navigating downhills and uphills was such a unique experience. We also rode by the ocean and as you hear the waves crashing you continue on your trail. The horses are all really friendly and already know the trail by heart you just gotta know when to pull back for them to stop. This experience is beginner friendly and definetly for those who want a bigger thrill than the utv ride.
