Don’t miss this! - This was beyond my expectations and so unforgettable! We booked the sunrise tour and had the helpful ( first time riders), friendly, knowledgeable, and horse whisperer Roc as our guide.
The National Park is so magnificent and the sunrise over the beach was as beautiful as we’ve seen.
The horses were well behaved and though I, as a novice, would consider the terrain rough in places, I never felt unsafe.
Hoofs of Hope is a very special organization and it was truly our pleasure to visit and enjoy this splendid experience!

AMAZING - One of the best excursions I’ve experienced! The staff was so nice and helpful with first timers. I fell in love with my horse Jhonny which I nicknamed PapÃto. The ride was very nice and scenic (Definitely wear sunscreen). Got to learn about the horses and the company also offers Sunday Therapy for children with disabilities which is amazing. 10 out of 10 would recommend

Great tour for Families with Teenage Kids! - We had an AMAZING tour with our tour guide named Rock!!!! Super nice people, very friendly. Lein picked us up at our hotel and was very nice and personable! Well trained horses! The scenery and tour was beautiful! ROCK was a great tour guide. He offered to take pictures for us on our phone the whole time. He attended to all of us and connected with the kids and adults! He was knowledgeable of the area and funny ! We found out he was a catcher and almost went pro! Our 11,16 and 18 year olds really enjoyed it too so that is always a plus ! We highly recommend this tour!!!!

Best excursion on the Island - This was an awesome experience! It was me and my 2 sons joining the tour. We were all beginners, but the guides were incredible in making us feel at ease. They gave us clear instructions and provided helmets for safety. They were so patient with everyone and made sure we felt safe before heading out. We were never rushed. The horses were well taken of and adorable, especially Blondy, who my son fell in love with. Unfortunately, there were some people in the group who didn't follow the guidelines and ended up getting bucked off their horses because they were taken selfies the entire ride instead of minding their animals. The tour itself was absolutely amazing! The views were absolutely breathtaking. It was such a memorable experience for all of us! Thank you so much hoofs of hope.
