If you’re a beginner, our top-notch guides will give you clear instructions on how to ride safely and assign you the most appropriate horse. Rest assured that safety is our top priority.

After saddling up the gentle giants, we’ll trot along serene white sand beaches, taking in the lush foliage that borders the beach and enjoying the Caribbean breeze.

We’ll stop at Fort James, constructed in the 18th century by the British, who feared a French invasion. Several cannons are still intact, and the view of St. John’s Harbour from the fort is spectacular.

On the way back, we’ll finish off an already great trip by riding our horses right into the sea!

You’ll have the opportunity to shower and purchase refreshments at a cafe before we take you back to your hotel.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard
