    This horseback riding adventure in the water consistently earns praise for creating truly memorable experiences. Mercedes stands out as the primary guide, with reviewers repeatedly highlighting her patience, knowledge of the horses, and ability to make riders feel comfortable regardless of experience level. Skylar also gets mentioned as a friendly, helpful presence. The horses themselves have distinct personalities and are described as calm, well-cared-for, and sweet, making this accessible even for complete beginners or kids. The actual experience of riding horses while they swim is clearly the star attraction here. Multiple reviewers call it a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list activity, with many emphasizing how unreal and epic it feels. The optional photo package comes highly recommended, and guests appreciate the flexibility when weather requires rescheduling. One reviewer noted the obvious reality of horses leaving droppings in the water during rides, though this seems to be standard across similar providers in the area. Overall, this is a well-run operation with rescued horses and guides who genuinely care about creating special moments for their guests.

    The owners & guides are phenomenal. The horses are all lovely and very well behaved. They are beautiful draft horses. Swimming while riding them in the ocean was such a unique & memorable experience. The extra picture package is worth the shots in the water! These girls hustle and so do the steeds, be sure to get your horse treats & tip the ladies accordingly. These ladies provide an outstanding beachside service for any age! They also follow along to keep water clean from droppings, which is a good practice. Extra love to our steeds Bailey & Mako! It was a Lovely evening with a beautiful sunset & we even saw a couple dolphins come thru as we were packing up. Would recommend this woman owned company. Hard workers.
