Hooves Beachride
“Hooves” Rainforest Ride
The Rainforest river ride is ideal for riders who have some experience as the terrain is quite rugged. The tour takes you down to the Greater St Anns Bay river, where you will enjoy the chance to swim in clear, cool rock pools, slide down waterfalls and enjoy the tranquility of this unique area. Ride along the river banks, shrouded with bamboo trees, while parrots screech overhead, and the crickets and tree frogs serenade your adventure through the rainforest. After our two scheduled stops for swims and snacks, our surefooted horses take you up from the valley floor, and skirt the mountain ridge, past quaint communities with their friendly villagers, back up to 1800 feet, with spectacular views en route.
This ride combines history with fun, the only one of its kind. Our tour starts with a visit to the Seville Great House Museum, which houses a wealth of artifacts found on this fascinating property. Then its time to mount up and visit all the places that we have learnt about, riding by castles and sugar factories dating back nearly 500 years.
Ride through wooded areas, where the Taino Indians used to hunt for food. Learn about the culture of these first Islanders, their beliefs, habits and existence, before Columbus landed and the island was colonized under the Spanish flag. Ride through a natural wetland, shaded by almond and coconut trees, and see the excavations carried out by archaeologists, keen to uncover the deep rooted history of this area.
