We had a blast on the Side Horse Safari! It's such a cool experience, especially for the kiddos. My little ones couldn't stop talking about their favorite white horse named Bella. Plus, riding through the citrus orchards smelled amazing! Totally recommend this for a fun family day out.

Any chance to escape the beach crowds is cool with me! The Side Horse Safari offered a perfect blend of calm and excitement for our family. Loved riding along the riverside paths amidst the stunning landscapes. Horses were gentle and well-behaved, which made it easy for everyone, especially the kids, to relax and enjoy. Consider packing a small snack for the littles, but otherwise, just a fun day!

Took the kids on the Side Horse Safari, and wow, what a fantastic family day out! The guides were super friendly and made it really comfortable for the little ones who were riding for the first time. We rode through these gorgeous pine forests and my little boy is still talking about spotting a rabbit! If you're looking for a fun adventure that’s also chill, this is it. Highly recommend!
