Horseback Riding to Little Natural Bridge in Aruba

Want to see Aruba's rugged north coast on horseback? This horseback riding tour to Little Natural Bridge takes you along the island's northern coastline for a guided ride lasting about two hours.

You'll spend approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes actually riding, with the route taking you through Aruba's dry, rocky landscape toward Little Natural Bridge. It's a different way to experience this part of the island than visiting the coast by car or joining a standard sightseeing tour.

The ride is suitable for both beginners and experienced riders, and helmets are provided and required.

This is a guided horseback riding experience rather than a horse-riding lesson. You'll follow your guide through Aruba's northern landscape toward Little Natural Bridge, one of the island's recognizable natural rock formations.

The scenery changes as you leave the more developed parts of Aruba behind. Expect rocky terrain, open landscapes and views toward the Caribbean coastline.

The entire experience takes about two hours, including approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes of riding time.

Little Natural Bridge is located on Aruba's rugged north coast, where the landscape is very different from the island's famous white-sand beaches.

Reaching the area on horseback makes the journey part of the experience rather than simply driving to a viewpoint. You'll have the opportunity to see the rocky coastline and natural formations along the way while riding with a guide.

If you've already visited Aruba's beaches and want to experience a less developed side of the island, this is one of the more unusual ways to do it.
