Such a lovely experience
Wayne was a fantastic guide and made me feel completely comfortable from the start.
Riding through nature and into the sea on horseback was surreal and such a beautiful experience. Michael captured the moments perfectly and made it even more special.
Highly recommend.

Horses seemed a little...
Horses seemed a little sad. You probably get around 20/25 mins on the horses. A lot of photos are taken so you know its going to be a hard sell at the end of the activity. You can barter the price. Expect to tip and get ready to be hassled. Overall we enjoyed our activity and time on the horses.

Super fun, I’ve never rode a horse but they make it easy and you feel comfortable/secure. They take as many pictures as you would like and the fee for the photographer photos were very affordable and worth the money! Everyone was very friendly and hospitable

5 Stars - Ask for Michael, best driver in Jamaica
Had an amazing trip with YF adventures. Horseback riding on the beach was a blast but our driver Michael was the true star of the tour. He was very informative along the ride and took his time showing us many hidden gems around Ocho Rios. Visit can be as long or as short as you want it to be. The tour guides will do as much or as little as you’d like. Excellent trip for the money. We did a private tour just the two of us though saw some larger family tours. They keep it intimate and take plenty of photos for you with no pressure to pay for extra photos at the end.
Ask for Michael when you book!

Malnutrition Horses
My girls was so excited to ride horses in the ocean. Once they saw the horses were obviously not well kept, malnutrition, hip bones visible, they were very disappointed. Since you have to pay upfront, what do you do. I rode Michelle. My husband, who was riding behind me, let me know after the ride that my horses leg was broken and shouldn't be riden AT ALL. Her leg was twisting off her hoof each time she took a step. My husband asked the guide if Michelle was alright, the guide said yes, shes fine. What??? So forget about having healthy horses, just pay and be on your way. Had I known sooner, I would not had rode. The guides didn't really take us far in the water as expected. Our feet didn't even get wet. And where was the swimming thats in the description?? Is the swimming for the horses on the shoreline on the way back? This location needs to be shut down. I know I'm not the only review that has complained about this tour company. They need to be shut down.
Operator response
Hello we take the health and well-being of our horses extremely seriously. All of our animals receive proper nutrition, regular veterinary care, and daily monitoring to ensure they are healthy and well-cared for. Regarding the tour our guides always prioritize safety, and the swimming portion is entirely optional depending on whether guests choose to enter the water or not. We regret that your family did not enjoy the experience, but we stand firmly by the dedicated care we provide our horses.
