Horseback Riding

Something that a lot of people ask about doing while on Grand Bahama is Horseback Riding along the beach. There are a couple of places that you can go to do this, but the company I have used is Pine Tree Stables. They are located midway between the International Bazaar and Port Lucaya, which is about a 10 minute cab ride from most hotels. They offer two departures daily and you must make a reservation. You will be taken on a 2 hour guided ride from the Stables along a trail that winds its way through the endangered Pine Forest, past a Castle and through the Hardwood Coppice, along the Swash, over the Dunes, west on the Beach and into the ocean. Of course the ride along the beach and into the ocean is the highlight of this tour. The horses only walk and jog, so no experience is necessary. I recommend that you wear long comfortable pants and shoes that you don’t mind getting wet when you ride into the ocean. This really is a great experience and worth the $85 fee.
