点评:Had an absolutely fantastic hack in Aruba! The ride was about 90 minutes and took us through some breathtaking scenery — winding trails, rugged terrain, and that incredible ocean backdrop you just can’t beat.
Most of the horses were very quiet and steady, perfect for mixed-ability groups. Since I mentioned having saddle time, I was paired with a spirited 3-year-old who still had a lot of baby energy about him. He kept me on my toes but sure-footed once we got going and responsive if not overly. The rest of the horses were experienced, solid types that knew their job and handled the terrain beautifully. Myself ‘alone’ got a brief canter in due to spooking caused by tour passing with 4x4 jeeps but that was just down to the noise (certainly not the normal).
The guides were friendly and happy to snap photos along the way, which was lovely since I was riding solo.
All in all, a wonderful bucket-list experience. Just don’t expect a nose-to-tail plod — there’s a bit of spark in this ride, and it’s all the better for it!
翻译:在阿鲁巴的骑行体验简直棒极了!大约90分钟的行程,带我们领略了令人叹为观止的美景——蜿蜒的小径、崎岖的地形,以及那无与伦比的壮丽海景。
大多数马匹都非常温顺稳重,非常适合不同骑术水平的团队。因为我之前提到过自己有骑马经验,所以被安排骑一匹精力充沛的三岁小马,它还保留着孩子般的活力。它让我时刻保持警惕,但一旦出发,它就非常稳健,反应灵敏,虽然不会过于兴奋。其余的马匹都是经验丰富、体格健壮的类型,它们知道自己的职责,并且完美地应对了各种地形。我独自骑行时,因为四驱吉普车经过,马匹受到了惊吓,所以短暂地小跑了一下,但这仅仅是因为噪音太大(当然,这并非正常情况)。
向导们非常友好,乐于沿途拍照,这让我感觉很贴心,因为我是独自骑行。
总而言之,这是一次令人难忘的精彩体验。但不要指望这是一段从头到尾的缓慢旅程——这段旅程充满活力,也正因如此才更加精彩!
