Horseback Riding
Ride along beaches and through the jungle
Horseback riding in the Caribbean and Central America offers a uniquely intimate way to experience the landscape. Imagine trotting along a deserted white-sand beach at sunset in Jamaica, fording rivers through the rainforest in Belize, or riding through the rolling hills of a Dominican Republic coffee plantation. Tours cater to all levels — gentle trail rides for first-timers and spirited canters along the surf for experienced riders. In Jamaica, Chukka Caribbean Adventures offers rides that end with swimming your horse in the ocean. In St. Lucia, ride through banana plantations with the Pitons as your backdrop. In Costa Rica, explore the foothills of Arenal Volcano on horseback. Many ranches use rescue horses, making your ride a contribution to animal welfare.
