The Ultimate Cayman Equestrian Experience

Horseback riding in Grand Cayman is a bucket-list experience that combines the island's natural beauty with the serene companionship of well-trained horses. Most tours take place in the secluded Barker's National Park, far from the bustling crowds of Seven Mile Beach. Here, you can traverse winding nature trails through mangroves before emerging onto deserted white-sand beaches. The highlight for many is the 'sea swim' experience, where horses naturally float and paddle through the warm Caribbean waters while you ride bareback. Whether you are a seasoned equestrian or a first-time rider, these curated tours offer a unique perspective of Grand Cayman's coastline and ecological heritage.

Planning

Historical Context

Barker's National Park was established as the first national park in the Cayman Islands to protect the fragile coastal ecosystem.

Photography Tips

  • Use a polarized filter to cut glare from the water
  • Hand your phone to the guide; they are experts at taking 'horse-selfies' for you!

Insider Tips

  • Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before riding to avoid getting it on the horse's tack
  • Bring a waterproof case for your phone if you plan to take it into the water during the swim.

Our Partners

  • Powered by Viator, a TripAdvisor company, ensuring secure payments and verified reviews.

Fun Facts

  • Horses are natural swimmers! They use a paddling motion similar to a 'doggy paddle' to move through the water.

Cancellation Policy

Most tours offer a full refund if canceled at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time. Weather-related cancellations by the operator are fully refundable.

Swimming with Horses!

I was nervous about the swimming part but the guides were amazing. It feels so surreal to float with the horses in that blue water. Highly recommend!

Great for Beginners

I hadn't ridden in years, but they matched me with a perfect horse named Biscuit. The trail through the mangroves was very peaceful.

Best Beach Ride Ever

Nothing beats riding on a deserted beach. We didn't see another person the whole time. Truly a private paradise experience.

Beautiful Experience

A bit hot in the sun, so definitely go for the early morning or sunset slot. The scenery is 10/10.

The connection with the horse and the ocean was magical. The guides took great photos of us in the water which we will treasure.

Exceeded Expectations

Better than any excursion offered by the cruise line. More personal, smaller group, and better value for money.
