Horseback Ride 'n' Swim
A Caribbean horse ride is not complete without trying it the way the locals do! Experience a standard ride along the beach until the saddles come off and your horse detours off the beaten track directly into the cool, refreshing waters of the Caribbean Sea - - with you still on!
The Ride 'n' Swim Grand Cayman excursion is a must if you are looking for an experience out of the ordinary. And aren't you? Experience the pure, natural beauty of Grand Cayman from horseback. Walk or slowly trot along the pristine, white-sand beaches of West Bay, as the azure waters lap at the feet of your steed. Your Grand Cayman excursion starts when you meet your tour guide at the designated spot on Barkers Beach, where your horse will be waiting. As you ride along the stunning shoreline, your guide will share a brief history of Grand Cayman, framed by the island's most beautiful national beach. Your ride lasts approximately 90 minutes, and you will be able to relax as your horse lazily treks across the beach, letting you take in the awesome Caribbean Sea and lush scenery. The exquisite natural backdrop atop your horse makes for a great photo op, so be sure and have your photo taken as a souvenir of one incredible adventure. End your Grand Cayman tour with a refreshing dip in the Caribbean Sea... on horseback! This ride has the added bonus of swimming with the horses in the Caribbean Sea. Riders who prefer to stay dry will dismount their horses and wait on the beach until the conclusion of the swim, which lasts approximately 15 minutes. After this brief rest, you will be returned to your starting point, where you can tell everyone about your awesome experience. Please Note: The Cayman horse is a smaller breed than you may be used to. The maximum weight the horse can accommodate is 225 pounds. Please do not book this tour if you are over this weight. Guests over the maximum weight will be denied a horse and will not be eligible for a refund. Participants must be at least 14 years old to participate.
