My sister surprised me with this horseback riding experience as a gift, and I was genuinely excited--especially about riding along the beach and having my family, including my 4-year-old son, watch from the cabanas. It was something I had really been looking forward to. Unfortunately, the experience did not match what was advertised. When it was our turn, our group included two younger children (around age 8 and up), and because of that, the guides decided not to take us through the main beach route. Instead, we only went along the shoreline for what felt like less than two minutes before being redirected back onto a road. We were told this change was due to the presence of the children and the guides not feeling comfortable continuing along the intended beach path. While I understand safety is important, this was never communicated beforehand. We paid for a beach horseback riding experience--not a brief pass by the water followed by a road ride. What made it more disappointing was that my family had been waiting to watch this special moment, only to find out last minute that we wouldn't even be going through the designated beach area that was part of the tour. This experience was not cheap, and we did not receive what was advertised. I would strongly recommend that if you book this tour, you confirm in advance that your group will actually be riding along the beach and not grouped with younger children, as this may significantly change your experience without prior notice. Overall, I was very disappointed and felt that the experience did not deliver what was promised. read more

We had such a wonderful experience on this guided horseback tour! The horses were calm, well cared for, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. A special thank you to our guide, who was a friendly French woman with such a warm personality. She made everyone feel comfortable, shared interesting information along the ride, and even stopped several times to take photos for us without us having to ask. Those little touches really made the experience feel special. If you're looking for a fun, relaxing horseback ride with exceptional service, I highly recommend this tour. We'd definitely do it again! read more

Loved our adventure with palomino ranch and their sweet horses. The beach area seemed pretty private so it was nice and secluded with simple trails that the horses seemed familiar with. The guide, didn't catch her name :(, was so nice and friendly. She kept calm when one of the horses got spooked and that helped keep me calm. This was great for inexperienced riders, if I was more experienced I would probably think the ride was a bit boring but it was perfect for us and they do find time to take pictures of you which was nice. read more

Amazing horse riding experience! This was the perfect Christmas gift for my wife, and we both absolutely loved it. Sofia and Alexi were incredibly hospitable, friendly, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The booking process was very easy to do online, and there was plenty of complimentary parking , which made everything stress-free. Truly a memorable experience -- highly recommend it to anyone looking for something special. Don't hesitate, book it online. Thanks Sofia for the complementary cold water read more

Palomino Ranch & Tours - Horseback Riding Near Me - Miami, Florida

This place was SO much fun. I found them on google and did some research on here. They looked like a lot of fun so I booked it! It's pretty affordable - about $150/per person + tax and tip. My boyfriend is from Miami so we went to visit after a trip to Colombia. My daughter had turned 10 that week and we wanted to do something really cool for her. She rides horses here in Los Angeles but the water horse situation isn't too great and south Miami is too beautiful to not do it here. We checked in really easily and got to ride out for a little over an hour. We rode into the water multiple times as well as got photos and videos taken and sent to us with no extra charge. I recommend wearing off spray, the bugs are out and about out there. My legs got destroyed because I failed to think about it before departing. Other than that it was the best time! Thanks again. read more

I absolutely loved my tour! I went on my birthday and everyone was so friendly. It was easy to navigate and they took photos of me. I'm from Texas and can't wait to come back and experience it again! read more

Since I can't respond to the owner I will do it here because no one needs to see the lies she is telling. No one said they worked with horses or owned a farm, I have rode my whole life that is all I said. The fact that you respond to all your negative reviews by blaming the customer and not seeing that everyone has the same issue, the horses are not cared for and safety is not a priority should tell you something but instead you just blame and tell lies. My friend did nothing wrong, the horse spooked because the other riders were not paying attention and the guide wasn't either. Yall let people ride in flip flops too that truly says you're just in it for the money. There was no consideration for what happened. All you had to do was take responsibility offer at least a partial refund since she didn't get the whole ride and actually none of us did but instead you blamed us. That is not a good business model and I hope someone comes to check out those horses and gets them help. I love leaving good reviews and this pains me but I will not allow you to lie and blame customers, that is unprofessional and unacceptable. Do better. We were so excited to go here and it was such a disappointment. We were told we couldn't use our phones because the fighter jets were out so for safety we needed to keep them away but the tour girls were not enforcing that and when we got to the water, two other girls on horses joined us and they were not really paying attention nor was their guide and they pretty much rammed into my friend and her horse spooked badly. She was then too scared to continue so she got off and the horse was still so spooked another guy rode it back and she drove their cart. When we got to the water the jets were right above us and all the horses spooked in the water and three of the girls lost their shoes because they were wearing flip flops which is insane. I asked kindly to refund my friends money because she didn't get to complete the ride and we all came back early too because of safety concerns and I was told no, they are wild animals and she got to ride half. The tour girls were very sweet but not able to do their job properly and everyone was in danger. We should not have gone out with the jets, they should have been watching the other riders with us that were not paying attention and kindly should have refunded my friends money instead of making excuses. The horses all seemed very tired and not behaved. It's a beautiful place and could be a great experience if they put safety and customer service first. I'll go to fort pierce from one for riding on the beach where these things don't happen. This was very disappointing. read more

Normally don't leave negative reviews, but I feel it's important to share my experience to help others make informed decisions. I had high hopes for this horseback riding company, but unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. The staff was inattentive, unprofessional, or poorly trained], and the overall organization seemed lacking. The horses did not appear to be well cared for, which raised concerns about both animal welfare and rider safety. Communication was poor throughout the process.... Not a single person spoke English , and we started late, the ride was rushed,and we weren't given proper safety instructions... While I understand that not every outing will be perfect, I believe that basic standards of care, customer service, and professionalism should be consistent--especially in a business that involves live animals and guest safety. I hope the company takes this feedback seriously and works toward improving its practices. read more

I'm blown away, WOW! Such a breath taking experience. The staff is so amazing as well as the horses. I highly recommend and would do it again for sure read more

Wholly do not recommend this company. They have no respect for the park or the beach-goers. They allow their horses to poop along the sand and in the water, only feet away from families and children. It is disgusting. Their "solution" is to have someone follow the tour in a four-wheeler and "pick up" the excrement song your tour unfortunately, this is very inconsistent and the horses love to poop in the water where the instructors does not clean it up. read more

Me encantó la experiencia ! fue algo genial 10/10 si no saben q hacer les recomiendo q reserven un tour a caballo no se van arrepentir. Gracias Palomino Ranch por la atención!!! read more

This was an awesome experience! Alan was our guide and was extremely knowledgeable on each of the horses. My wife is basically professional equestrian and I am NOT but my horse Penny was understanding of that and took care of me very well. The views were awesome. Give this place a shot! They are a fairly new venture so they need our support. Thanks Palomino!!!!! read more
