Met at the terminal entrance for our fast track arrival service (didn’t really need it as it was quiet, but it’s a nice luxury to have, wouldn’t do it again).
Guided quickly through passport control and immigration to baggage collection.
At this point our guide was getting very agitated as our cases were taking a long time to come off. So much so that he was lifting the flap on the belt to look for them coming from outside. We were really chilled but he clearly needed to be somewhere else.
Once we had our bags, swiftly through customs and our to meet our driver (booked via another company).

We booked fast track and private transfer (water ferry) for our trip to Sandals Grande St Lucia. I recommend Atlantic Shores Riding Stables to everyone, great value for money and the time it saved us at the airport was worth every penny!! I loved the ferry, the staff was very accommodating with drinks and snacks and also very informative about the island. Thank you again Wayne Lucius for taking care of us!

Amazing all around! I contacted Wayne 45 minutes prior to wanting to book a private transfer from our resort to the airport and he was able to accommodate! We also booked the fast track service (it was Saturday) and we were escorted to the front of the Delta check in along with the security line. We booked the private lounge also and it was clean, nicely air-conditioned with snacks and drinks. Highly recommend!!!

Where do I start? The trash that covers the trail and along the ocean, the sea weed that covers the beaches and water so that you can not go into the water? I asked if this was typical and was told yes, the seaweed is typical. Why not tell your riders there is a chance you will not get on the beach? The young men that took us on the tour did their best and we gave them a tip because they tried but the site is very misleading. And, when we arrived and paid, the woman that takes your money is so very rude and did not act like she wanted us there. Had I known about the trashy trail trash and not being able to go on the beach and the rudenss of the woman taking the money, I would never have gone to this. It was my number one thing I was looking forward to and ended up the worst thing I did in St. Lucia

I have just returned from a trip to Saint Lucia and I booked Atlantic Shores for Fast Track arrival/departure, transfers to and from the resort, and the premium lounge on departure.
Excellent communications, organization and service. Excellent, friendly drivers in high-end, clean cars. Fast Track was nice and the premium lounge was a wonderful change from the main terminal experience. Well worth it.
Thank you Wayne and team. Great job, and I will book you again for my next trip to Saint Lucia.

Had an amazing, breathtaking ride among green lands and picturesque ocean view. It had been more than 10 years since I had ridden a horse and was the first time for my friend, but our guide made the experience seem effortless and comfortable. I even made a new friend in Miles (my beautiful gray horse). Our guide was also very accommodating of our many request for photo opportunities. I would highly recommend this riding trail with Atlantic Shores Riding Stables.

I almost never write poor reviews, but there are two reasons this wasn't a fun experience for us. First, our guide's service was very poor. Never introduced himself, got super annoyed with us very early on and even shook his head in disgust when we didn't follow his directions right away. It's like he didn't want to be there at all. Never smiled once. Second, my horse (River) was NOT having it. I should've known it was going to be rough when he decided to turn around and head back to the stables within the first 10 seconds of our trip. It got so bad that 3/4 through the trip, the guide finally suggested we switch horses. Was it memorable? Absolutely. But only b/c we're now laughing about how stressful it was.

My husband and I enjoyed a 3 hour ride on our honeymoon. The views were unlike anything we expected and we absolutely gorgeous. We stopped on two separate beaches to explore a bit, and our guide even found us fresh coconuts to drink! This is definitely something “off the beaten path” to do and we highly recommend checking them out!

Used Atlantic Shores Riding Stables in conjunction with Harris Handlers for fast track and lounge pass for our recent trip to St Lucia (23/04/22) I can’t express enough how great the service was. Communication was first class for inward and return travel. Would recommend and we will definitely use again. Martin& Maria

The fast track was awesome! Got it for arriving and departing. Wayne is an absolute gem! He really goes above and beyond for their customers and potential travelers. We had Sherman as our excursion guide and he was so much fun to travel with and we learned about the local history ("these roads were built by my forefathers") and we stopped at a small roadside eatery and got some cassava cake! Not only that! After our excursion was done and we were on the 1.5 hour trip back to our resort, we asked him if we could stop to get distilled water. He called up some people and we were able to get some before getting back to the hotel.

How much time is actually spent in the water?
AtlanticShoresRidingStables
Vieux Fort, Vieux-Fort, St. Lucia22 contributions
Our rides take you to the beach where we will dismount to enjoy a brief break and give our riders a chance to take a swim or walk in the ocean with their horses. We will spend a combined time of approximately 25 to 30 minutes at our two beaches. We will ride through one and dismount at the other. If time permits,we can stay a little longer to enjoy the beach.

Hi. We're on a TUI Marella Cruise Jan/Feb. Does this trip/trail need to be booked in advance or can we just turn up on the day? (Two of us)
How far from the port are you and can you please give us some idea of cost to get there in a taxi and cost of excursion. Thanks

Hello, I see you already have answered one of my questions about the weight, but I am also under 5' tall, I for see that as a problem mounting up and off the horse. Do you provide any step ladder or platform?

Hi Sorry about the late reply. We do have a mounting ladder available at the stable so there's no need to worry :)

Hi, I'm looking to book up a beach ride with you next month and I was wondering what the seaweed issue is like now and predicted for next month? Although it won't put me off coming to ride with you I just want to be mentally prepared! Ive ridden horses all my life but it's always been my dream to canter along the beach and go into the sea in the Caribbean which I've still yet to do! Just wondering what I should expect really

Hi,Thanks for looking us up.The seaweed has been an island wide issue for a few years now. The situation is improving alot.Most of it has dried up on our side.We still get some washing ashore but it definately won't ruin your beach riding experience with us.You can email us from our website and I will be very happy to send you some photos of the beach.The seaweed is unpredictable so I won't be able to let you know how much will wash ashore within the next month. You will definately love riding on the beach and in the ocean here. Thanks and looking forward to your email.Have a fun weekend :)

Hi
Do you have weight and Age limits?
AtlanticShoresRidingStables
Vieux Fort, Vieux-Fort, St. Lucia22 contributions
Hi,
Thanks for inquiring about our rides. We have a weight limit of 250Lbs. We will allow kids 6 years and older to handle their own horse on the trail once they are comfortable in the saddle and show they're capable of handling a horse.This will only be done if the parents agree.Safety is always our top priority.The trail is a walking trail unless you are experienced and can handle a hand gallop. We will only gallop when other riders have dismounted. We always carry extra lead ropes in case younger kids or adults get nervous.We will hook the horses on and the guide will pull them along. Kids younger than 6 years old can enjoy a ride in the yard around the stable. Our friendly guides will lead them around the property. Thanks :)
