East Coast Horseback Riding & Waterfall Excursion
Description
The only horseback riding tour on island which provides you with a wild life and historical experience. You will learn about the ancient people of Saint Lucia, the way they lived and celebrated life. Go through nature trails, mangroves swamps, rain forests, banana plantations and of course the beach. Swim with your horse, or take a gallop along the shore... its all up to you. But your tour won't end with just a horse ride. You will also be taken to the beautiful Dennery falls for a scenic view of a 15-20m drop waterfall just 15 minutes away. It cascades over a large rounded cliff and continues down stream. You will also hear the sounds of tropical birds and wild life, surrounded by vibrant colorful flowers. Complimentary drinks will be served. This should definitely be added to one's bucket list!

Itinerary
The riding trail goes through the ancient ruins to the Interpretation Center Museum for a breath taking view of a carved image of a Lion and head of a Tribal Chief. From there it meanders through forest of coconut palms to the Atlantic Ocean, where you can enjoy a thousand feet of sandy beach and see the nesting ground for the Leather back Turtle. The trail continues through the rain forest and features bird watching, crabs, iguanas, and other wildlife. You can also collect some of natures medicine from the wild. Along the way is banana plantations which goes on for miles then into the ruins of the old sugar mill and continues through the Savannah, meadows and mangroves. Don't worry about being dehydrated as throughout the tour we will be serving you with water or freshly picked coconut water right from the nut. Back at the stable the tour won't end without our complimentary refreshments. You will then proceed to the beautiful Dennery falls just 15 minutes away off site.
Visit the magnificent Sault Falls (also known as Errard Falls as well as Dennery Falls) which is perhaps the most scenic waterfall in St Lucia. It features a drop of some 15-20m over a rounded cliff with a few smaller cascades further downstream.

This was by far the best horseback riding experience that we have ever had. I road Coco boy and my husband rode Spirit they both was wonderful horses 🐎 our tour guide was great. He took us riding through the forest well that's what it looked like to me. We went down hills and up hills. We ended up at a private beach were we raced each other and Coco Boy smoked Spirit and he didn't like it, so he tried to bite him. You should run to do this tour. We ride horse a lot all over the world and this one was the BEST. TY 😊
Thank you for choosing us! Thrilled to know you enjoyed this excursion. Thank you for your review.
Great horse ride. Would say the horses & terrain make it not ideal for someone who has never ridden before. Our guide let us gallop through the Forrest which was amazing. The beach itself is nice. The waterfall is very secluded but pretty. Worth the money!
Thank you for your review and for choosing East Coast Riding Stable!
we had the best time. The ride was beautiful, and the guides were so informative and sweet and very funny. The horses were so sweet and easy to ride. My wife and I would recommend it to anyone coming to St. Lucia and we would do it again if we come back!
Thank you so much for choosing us and for your review. We look forward to seeing you on your next visit!
Everything about this activity was phenomenal and well worth the money. From the prompt pick up at the resort, to the fresh coconuts cut open for us on the beach, we felt so taken care of on the excursion. My horse and guide were both super patient and kind to me on my first time riding a horse. I loved every minute of this excursion and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a more private activity where you don’t feel like just another tourist. Thanks guys!

This was such a great experience. Andre picked me up and dropped me off which was such a nice touch especially since my accommodation was quite far. He shared points of interest along our ride that were super interesting and took me to a beautiful waterfall! Paul was a wonderful guide through the jungle and beach, he took great pictures and shared so much great information. If you’re having trouble picking an excursion- look no further, this experience provides a little bit of everything you’re looking for!
Thank you for riding with us and for your review.
I truly can’t put into words how great of a time I had!!! I’ve done a few horseback trails in different countries, and I can confidently say this was the best one and I don’t ever think another company will be able to beat the experience I had with them!! Now I can’t promise everyone will have the exact same experience as me as I got lucky and booked on a day no one else booked and my horse was named lucky, how cool! The view alone on the east coast was so breathtakingly beautiful, that alone would make this tour worth it!!! Not to mention you’ll get extra lucky if Jhudai is your guide! Dress the part, go have fun and learn some new things! Bring a mango with you because the horses love them!!!

Thank you for this wonderful review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your time with us, and that it’s a memory you will never forget. Thanks for coming!!!
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. It was a little rainy but still a great time. the views were amazing the waterfall part was wonderful.
Thanks for choosing East Coast Riding Stable and for your review.
The first part of our tour was horse riding. Very relaxed. The young fellas did a great job and I wish them the best! The historical part guy was a little pushy to get a gratitude, which no one likes getting pushed into. Still a 5-star with a room for an improvement. We were extremely lucky with the 2nd part of the tour, Errand Falls, because no one was there. The whole waterfall was just for us to enjoy - and there was much to enjoy, I have to say!
Thank you for choosing East Coast Riding Stable and for you review. We appreciate the feedback, and will work on improving things to give our customers the best experience. Glad you enjoyed.
Couldn’t have asked for a better Friday and birthday present for my daughter! Andre picked us up at our airbnb, then took us right to the stables for a ride, then waterfalls. His family runs the business and we were lucky enough to have his son and extended family to take us along on the tour. Great to see younger kids run the tour so professionally. The horses were so sweet and kind and knew the trail, giving me full trust of the animal. We got to enjoy fresh coconuts along the beach too! Helmets, snacks, drinks provided. Then the added waterfall adventure!
Thank you for this review. We are so grateful, and happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed. Thank you for choosing us!
