Horseback riding during port stop

[rhiannon35]

We will be in San Juan for a port stop on the Carnival Breeze in March. We very much would like to go horseback riding while there, and it seems to me Campo Rico is by far the closest place to port to do so.

However, to book on our own it is half the cost of what the ship charges for an excursion (of course, right?). My question is, has anyone done this and, if so, what was your experience. And how much is a cab to get there?

 

If anyone has any other places they've ridden within an hour of port that they'd recommend, I'd love to hear about it. My DD, 12, and I are both advanced riders, but my DH and my daughter's friend (who's joining us) are not, so I'd love to find a place that might be able to offer something slow for them, and a bit more exciting for us. Thanks!
