We had a great ride this morning with our guide Francesca. She was very attentive to the safety and comfort of our family of four. The beach is beautiful. Horses look healthy and well cared for. Definitely recommend.

On a vacation that was stellar all the way around, it's the unique experiences that tend to make it truly memorable and set it apart from all the other vacations (that also boast great accommodations and food). Riding the surf on horseback is one of those unique experiences.Francesca and Kristen (our guide) were fabulous. They accommodated our different riding styles, and given I have a herniated disk in my lumbar I was worried about riding, but they gave me a very mild horse (Angel) that I had no problem controlling (even as a novice) and my experienced daughter was given a much more lively horse.They take pictures for you, so you can just enjoy and still have some great memories.It's not cheap, but it's well worth the unique experience.

My sister and I went alone on a morning ride and could not have had a better experience. Both women who ran the corral were extremely friendly and engaging and gave us the most comfortable and enjoyable experience. Neither of us had much riding experience and everything was explained to us and the guide was with us every step of the way. Definitely a highlight of our trip! Beautiful ride along grace bay we would recommend the morning because it was not super hot yet. The ride is about 75mins and we both wore tank tops, hats, and Capri workout pants and were dressed perfect. You go bare foot which is very cool and the guide holds your phone and takes pictures for you! Also bring a water bottle. And you do not get super wet above the knee. Amazing place!

Three of us went on a beach ride with Caicos Corral and it was one of my favorite experiences in Provo. Francesca was our guide and she was lovely. We have some riding experience and after some instruction, Francesca had no problem letting us run the horses on the beach. The horses were healthy and energetic. We also got to take them into the ocean, which both horses and riders seemed to enjoy.

Went with my son and daughter. Francesca picked us up and took us to the stables. She is so friendly, she made the entire riding experience the best! The horses are so gentle and they know the way. We rode on Margarita, Angel, and Chiquita. The ride is one hour up and down the beach. The best was when the horses went into the water! It was so much fun. It was a great way to spend some time learning the island. We loved it! Don't miss Caicos Corral!!

If you want to do something and really treat yourself, this is it. I love horses and I love the beach so what a perfect way to combine them. We were picked up right in our hotel lobby on time, taken over to the stable had a quick safety lesson. Learned a little bit about each horses personality and let me tell you they had it, lol. We decided on our horses and headed out. We gave our camera to our guide who took tons of pictures for us. You walk down grace bay and turn around at the turtle marina. Heading back we had some time with the horses in the water it was an amazing experience. The Horses just love the water and our guide was amazing she was so good at helping is handle the horses and teach us how to really handle these animals. I felt like a really good rider. The ride is about an hour long, once you are back at the stable we got to spend some time with the other horses. It is a truly unique expierence and if you have a little extra funds something you should do that will not be forgotten.

Ride for my daughter and me with a guide, and I have no experience for 35 years since 2 days in Montana on horse; this horse did not want to do anything but walk, had a mind of its own and neither I nor the guide were going to change it; my daughter says they are all that way. Beach walk is a public area, and had to weave around several sunbathers and around the coral on the beach. My daughter has done this elsewhere but on secluded public beaches, and never had to weave around the bathers. Horses were fed before the trip, so had to stop 3-4 times in the hour for pee and poop stops (horses, not us) and burying the stuff (guide had the shovel and did the work). Had a very well organized reservation setup, very friendly and great rider/guide. Timely, ready to go when they told us they would; they will pick up or we drove, easy to find; clean coral with well kept horses according to my daughter; water walk was fun and horse did really well with that part and we got along fine then. Full hour ride.

My wife and I are novices, and Kristen was a fantastic guide. We rode on Chiquita and Angel, and they moved at a great pace for us. The ride itself was a blast, as we got to see part of the island we wouldn't have otherwise, and taking the horses into the ocean for the ride back was something we'll long remember. I highly recommend Caicos Corral for anyone wanting a unique adventure.

I'm an avid rider and this is the one thing I was absolutely determined to do on our trip to TCI. I researched the options I had and chose Caicos Corral and I was so glad I did. Caicos Corral is much smaller than Provo Ponies and I was, infact, the only person riding during the tour. This was so nice since we could just relax and ride and there was no worry about having to instruct anyone on basic riding rules. My guide, Kristen, was wonderful and we spent the entire ride discussing all things horses. She was very knowledgeable about my mount, Angel and all her quirks. I had hoped to get the opportunity to lope along the beach but the conditions just weren't right for it that day. I did get to ride in the water which was so much fun. My mount was very well behaved, if a little lazy. She gave me no problems and I really enjoyed my ride on her. I would definitly recommend taking a ride with Caicos Corral, it's so worth the money!!

If you've never ridden a horse before, or you're experienced, the Caicos Corral definitely the way to go for a different view of the island. Between walking the horses through the water, and the friendly guide, this was a wonderful way to change up our time at Turks.

Kristen was an informative guide and this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. It was private and glad we went with them.

My wife and I have limited riding experience, and the guide made sure we felt comfortable. Horses were great, and riding on the beach was a real experience. Even went in the ocean for a bit. Ride was a bit bouncy so bring a butt pad!Price was a bit expensive, but it was a private ride so more casual and personal.

It was a small group - just three people - and the leader was awesome and attentive. We had a great time.

I chose them because they ride along lower bight/ turtle cove area. We rode with Freckles and Chikita, both female horses. They were very good horses to ride on, even for beginner riders. Our guide was Francisca, she was not only a nice person but a great photographer! We gave her our camera and phone for photos and she took a picture for us whenever she could, even some of the scenic ones along the way! I really enjoyed having her company and riding along the beautiful stretch of lower bight beach/turtle cove/passing smith's reef. We got to go in the water on the way back (for the horses to cool off and for the photo effect); waters o up to about your knee level so if you are worried about having wet shoes, you can also ride barefooted. For the amazing pictures and ride, the private tour of $125/pp was worth it for us. They will pick you up from your hotel and drop you off wherever you like if you don't have a car rental with the charge. Again, I highly recommend Caicos Corals for anyone looking for a different experience (amazing photos a bonus).

They picked up at at Beaches Resort and drove us to their barn (only five minutes away). Francesca was our guide and she explained the quirks and personalities of each horse and let us choose which one we wanted to ride. Of course, if on the ride we changed our mind, she said we could always switch horses with the one she rode. The horses were emotionally/temperamentally sound and I did not worry about mine or my daughter's horse taking off on us or acting up. The beach was beautiful and Francesca got some really nice pics of us using my iphone.
