The staff at Atlantic Shores Horseback were helpful, and the trail and beach ride was fantastic. Highly recommend for all skill levels, but note the ride continued through the rain so be prepared. You will also need to bring your own water as none was available at the stable. The views alone make this an incredible ride.

We had a wonderful 3 hour trip today at the Atlantic Shores Riding Stables. The horses were easy to handle, and the trail up into the mountains, through the banana plantation and onto the beach was perfect for the 4 of us novice riders. We highly recommend this as one of the best things to do while visiting St. Lucia!

After 21 years of marriage my wife and I finally took a honeymoon. Prior to the trip the only thing we knew we wanted to do was go horseback riding. Atlantic Shore Beach was recommended to us and Wayne and I started emailing about a week before our trip. We took a 2 hour ride with Max as our guild. The views of St Lucia and the ocean were spectacular. I mean we felt like we were in a movie, Spectacular!! The horses are healthy and active and very well cared for. We went first thing in the morning, which I recommend. Its a bit cooler. Max was great with the horses and a wealth of knowledge about the island and St Lucian culture. We will definitely be returning to St Lucia and Atlantic Shores. Thank you Wayne and Max for the experience. Say Hi to Magnum and Red for Michelle and I.

Heard about the Fast Track option at UVF but struggled to figure out how it all worked despite a lot of searching. Found a few obscure referrals for Atlantic Riding Stables coordinating and took a chance. After 14 hours of travel, it was a huge relief to be escorted through each step of arrival. Moving to the front of every line, until our arranged driver arrived. The communications with pictures of what to expect were top notch! Shout out to Harris Handlers' Patrik for the smoothest island arrival we have ever had. Will update again after the departure. Arrival was 10 out of 5 stars!

I definitely would suggest this tour if you are looking to go horseback riding while you are in St Lucia. Wayne is a great tour guide and owner. He truly cares about his horses. You can see that just by looking at the horses. They all are in good weight coats shiny and hooves well trimmed. My daughter is a tough critic as she works with horses for living. And this is something that is important to us.
We went on a 2 hour beach tour. We trotted and cantered along the way up the hills and along the beach. The views were amazing. They are something you would see in a travel brochure. We didn’t get to swim with the horses as the sea was angry. But that didn’t stop us from having an amazing time.
I do highly recommend this tour.

I’m an equestrian in the UK and my grandad lives in St Lucia. My Step Nanna took me round St Lucia for the day. We were driving back and stumbled across this little rising stables. I got out of the car and asked what we can do. They said go for a back down to the beach and swim in the sea. The next day we went down . Easy to book, staff were excellent and the yard looked like s great place to ride. It was in a great location. Because of Covid we had not just a riding hat but some type of cloth under our hats. Brilliant place to start you horse riding journey if your new. We were going to book it again but forgot too. Just down the road was a bar on the beach where u could watch the riding . Reasonable price and you can go for more then 1 hour . Would totally Recommend

This is a must do when in Saint Lucia. So pretty of a ride on the hillside overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and along two beaches. Our horses were Rusty and Friday, gentle giants they do their commands as told. When you have them go to the left or right they do. Geannie was our guide and he was very nice and loves the horses, the horses do listen to him, if a horse falls a little behind he will say come on Friday and Friday will come. Thank you also Wayne for having the Saint Lucia Facebook page and learning about Atlantic Riding Stables and also the Fast Track when at the airport, that is a must do too, to get you thru the airport fast and you pass all the others in long lines. ❤️ Saint Lucia and can’t wait come back. 🌴☀️🐠

We booked with Wayne (Atlantic Riding) for Fast Track at the UVF airport after seeing his incredibly helpful posts and information in a Facebook group for visiting St Lucia. He was so responsive and helpful when I reached out 1:1 with many questions about the process. He also helped me quickly book departure accommodations and even went the extra mile to give advice and info for connecting flights and airports after our departure. I can only imagine what their core business (riding excursions) is like !!! Great guy, great company - thanks Wayne!

We did a two hour horse ride with Max. He took us through an amazing route, with breathtaking views of the coastline. It was our 8 year old son’s first horse riding experience and he loved it. We are not experienced horse riders but it was very relaxing and enjoyable. What a wonderful business you run Max. Congratulations!

Having only been on a horse once before, Max and Atlantic Shores Riding Stables made us feel safe and comfortable. The horse looked well looked after and happy. The walk was all off road through grassland, woodland and beach front.
An amazing morning beach ride!

is there a weight limit for people
Written September 16, 2024
How much time is actually spent in the water?
Written November 26, 2019
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?
Written December 28, 2015
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
Written October 10, 2015
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,
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 :)
