My off-road driviing experience - tips/directions

[Andrea J.]

on horseback it is brutal
it is a treacherous walk

if the horse stumbles and he could it would mean potential serous injury to horse and rider

huge boulders cactus gravel not a very relaxing ride.

that being said, the horses that do that route are well trained and know the routine.

at home, i ride daily, indoor arena. i like to ride in the safest surroundings possible.

in aruba, i like to ride towards the goldmine and the new natural bridge....keeping a good distance away from cactus and rocks ;-)

yes, the ostrich farm is paved. if i remember correctly it's right before you get to the gold mine and natural bridge. there's only one way to get to them via paved road. just follow the directions and you'll pass by the ostrich farm on your left right before you get to the fork in the road for the gold mine/natural bridge.

Thanks for the tips, Patty. I'd like to have an off-road experience when i get to Aruba.

For the best off road experience - try an ATV around to the back side of the island. You will be amazed at the difference in beaches!!
