Horseback Riding in Jamaica

[lucia1024]

I was hoping that someone can help me. I am trying to find out what are the best excursions for horseback riding in Jamaica. I went to the Port Site for Jamaica and it doesn't seem to have any current helpful info. I was hoping that someone might have done an excursion like this and had some suggestions on which tours were best. How much? What time did these excursions start? I really wanted to try something different in Jamaica. I have already been to Dunn's River Falls.

 

I would appreciate any of your suggestions.

 

Thanks!

You might want to investigate this...Chukka Cove Adventures. We did The Original Canopy Tour through them & we saw the stables/horses. They were a super outfit and the staff were excellent. Not sure but I think that this is who RCCL uses for their excursions.

We are also looking for Horseback riding in Jamaica. I came across this site, http://jamaicacruiseexcursions.com/JamaicaHorsebackRiding.htm which looks like a fun trip. Has anyone out there done this particular excursion?

We have 2 children who want to ride a horse on the beach. I noticed that the minimum age is 5, which works perfect for us :)

Any feedback would be much appreciated, as we are anxious to finalize our plans.

Thank you!!

Thanks for the suggestions.

 

I was just wondering is there a set time to these excursions? It doesn't seem to show a meeting time for the tour. I wouldn't just want to show up and the tour has left. Do you get more detailed info when you reserve the tour?

 

Does is a long ride to get to the beach? I am looking to do this from Ocho Rois.

 

Thanks for you help.

I went ahead and booked this tour with Island Marketing (www.jamaicacruiseexcursions.com ) and will post a review when I get back. So far the service has been very good and the live help feature has been very helpful. The young lady I chatted with was helpful and informative and had done the ride. The pick up time is stated on the confirmation letter that I received. They are meeting us directly at the cruise ship pier at 8:30am. The drive to the beach where the ride takes place is about 45mins. The ride is 2 hours long and includes swiming with your horse. We are going to stop at Island Village on the way back and do a little shopping, maybe try one of Jimmy Buffetts Margaritas.

You might try A-Z Jamaica Planners. They also do private tours that you can do on your schedule. We are using them next week and they have been great to deal with. Not very expensive either and have had good reviews on this site. They have horse back riding on their site;

I wanted to make a reservation with http://www.jamaicacruiseexcursions.com and I can't seem to access the form to confirm the reservation. I was sent a confirmation that there would be enough room for this tour. They have a website to link to in order to give the payment info, but I can't retreive the form. Has anyone else had a problem with this?
