It’s a different kind of ride, unstructured, unhurried, and open to the kind of experience you want it to be.

​

Riders head out from a small, locally run stable near St. Lucia’s northeast coast. The group is always small, just a few people, a guide, and a handful of well-loved horses. There’s no script, no schedule to rush. Some guests ride quietly, taking in the sea breeze and the sway of the saddle. Others share stories and laughter along the trail. Both are welcome.

​

The route winds through countryside and forest, with long views of the Atlantic peeking through the trees. It leads to two quiet beaches, untouched and undeveloped, with nothing but wind, water, and the occasional fisherman in the distance.

​

Midway through the ride, the group stops at the second beach for a picnic. It’s light and local, fresh fruit, homemade snacks, chocolate, and a few drink options. Some toast with chilled Prosecco or a local beer. Others go for something cool and non-alcoholic. There’s time to sit, chat, explore, or just take in the view.

​

When sea conditions are calm, there’s sometimes a chance to ride into the water. It’s not guaranteed, but it happens often enough, and when it does, it tends to be a favourite part of the ride.

​

The journey back is relaxed. Some riders talk more. Some ride in content silence. The space is there for both.

​

What to expect on the Horseback Ride & Picnic Tour:

 

It’s Just You and the Crew. No groups, no tight timelines. Just you, your guide, and your horse, moving at your own pace. Some rides are quiet and thoughtful, others full of chatter and laughter. The trail makes room for both.

 

Two Beaches, No Buzz. The route reaches two beaches on the Atlantic side, both quiet, undeveloped, and far from the usual beach scene. No umbrellas or chairs. Just open sand, sea breeze, and space to ride or rest.

 

A Trail That Keeps Changing. The landscape shifts as you go, one moment you’re riding under trees, the next you’re crossing open fields, then catching long views from a breezy ridge line. It’s a ride that gives you a real sense of the island’s raw, natural side.

 

A Simple Picnic by the Sea. Halfway through, there’s time to pause. A small beach picnic is laid out, fresh fruit, something sweet, something baked, and a drink of your choice. Maybe a cold local beer, some bubbly, or a refreshing non-alcoholic option. It’s casual, easy, and just right for the setting.

 

A Local Team That Loves What They Do. The guides are part of the experience. They know the trails, the horses, and the stories of the land, and they’re happy to share all three. Whether you want quiet company or a good conversation, they’ll meet you there.
