EI83 Posted April 5, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Making final payment for cruise this week & I think can start booking excursions. How often is the Horseback riding/swim per day & does it book up quickly? My daughter can't wait to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monumax Posted April 14, 2009 #4 Share Posted April 14, 2009 We'll be on the Pride 6/26. 1st timers. Would like to hear a review when you get back. We did the horseback ride/swim at Grand Turk in February and had a great time. As a novice rider, the guides were great at providing instruction, and I thought the time on the horses was very good. The land ride was long enough for me, and then they broke us up into 3 smaller groups to do the "swim", which seemed more like a waist hgh gallop in the ocean. It was a lot of fun, except two horses came up on either side of my horse and kinda squeezed together briefly. The guides were also very good at using our cameras to take several pictures both on land and in the ocean. It was amazing how they could handle 3 cameras at a time and remember who to take with each camera! It was also nice to get to see some of the island on the way to the horse shelter and back. The driver kept a running descriiption of what we were seeing and answered all questions. After the excursion we returned to the port and had plenty of time to shop and swim/drink at Margarittaville. __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corolla3tc Posted May 10, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 10, 2009 It was sold out last July when we tried to book this excursion while onboard. I would be safe and book ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monumax Posted May 16, 2009 #7 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Just booked this tour, how long is the bus ride? thanks! I would say probably 20 minutes, if that. It isn't a large island, and there wasn't much traffic at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean09 Posted May 22, 2009 #8 Share Posted May 22, 2009 It was stated how great they are with the cameras while you are horseback riding, what types of cameras did you bring, regular digital or underwater style, I would love to bring my good camera, but I would be nervous it would fall in the water and get destroyed.

I had my digital camera, but I didn't take it into the water. The guides stayed on shore and took pictures of us in the water. I also took a waterproof camera with me into the water, but I couldn't take any pictures because I was too busy holding on (and I dropped the camera into the water anyway!)
