Have you done it? How was it?

yes we did horse back riding with the Goldmine ranch in November when we were there on the Voyageur of the Seas. They picked us up at the dock at 830am and we were riding down towards the beach by 9am. The tour lasted about an hour and a half. The horses were docile and no problem for even my 7 year old. The tour took us to a smaller version of the natural bridge since the other collapsed. it was very hot so I am glad we got an early start. Also the jeeps/four-wheelers were arriving on the beach as we were leaving so it was getting a bit busy. When we got back they had cold water for us which we appreciated. Also, between the time I booked and when we got there they dropped the prices & when I asked they refunded me the difference-no questions asked.The guide was great & the driver gave us some island history & pointed out several landmarks on the ride to & from the ranch.
