Half Moon Cay Bahamas Horseback Riding Review

For many cruisers, a stop at this beautiful private island means a day to kick-back at the beach. For me, Half Moon Cay means a cruise excursion to go horseback riding in the ocean.

Half Moon Cay is Holland America’s private island in the Bahamas. It’s located halfway between Cat Island and Eleuthra, about 100 miles southeast of Nassau. While Holland America “owns” Half Moon Cay, occasionally other Carnival Corporation ships stop there, too.

Half Moon Cay Horseback Riding in the Ocean

My recent cruise aboard Holland America’s Nieuw Statendam gave me the chance to do it all over again. It had been a few years since I was last at Half Moon Cay and I wondered if the island had changed.

Despite hurricanes and storms, nothing much had changed. It looked the same.

Half Moon Cay Entrance

How to get to Half Moon Cay

It’s a 10-minute ferry boat ride from your ship to the island dock. After you exit the ferry, walk ahead to the island entrance. Once you’re through the archway, on your left you’ll see a yellow building marked, “Information”. Go there to check in for your shore excursion. You’ll also have to sign a waiver.

Half Moon Cay Information Center

I left the ship at 10:45 AM for my 11:30am tour. Sometimes you have to wait a bit for the tender to fill up, though once you’re underway, it’s quick. I didn’t want to take a chance on being late.

What to expect during your horseback riding tour

Everyone gathers nearby to wait for the tram to get to the stable. It’s a fun 5-minute tram ride and you’ll get to see a little of the island, too. I didn’t know it but it’s a very popular place for bird-watching.

At Pegasus Ranch, the “wranglers” greet and escort everyone to a shaded area. Once everyone is seated, the ranch manager Richie will come over, tell a few jokes, talk about what you’ll do and begin the safety briefing.

Half Moon Key stable manager Richie

After that, Richie points out the lockers and how they work. There were plenty of available lockers. The locker key is on a curly-cord bracelet so it stays on you even in the water. Next, he fits you for your helmet. The first one I chose was way too big. When Richie came over and saw it didn’t fit, he found a smaller one and did all the adjustments for me.

Next, we all lined up under the shade. As the stable hands led out the horses, Richie decided who would ride a particular horse. Then one by one, we walked over and mounted our steed. Then we’re off and…walking. No running, cantering or galloping allowed.

Half Moon Cay Trail Ride

As we walk our horses, the dirt path rises about 60-feet above sea level. Just before the descent, the ocean comes into view.

Half Moon Cay horses on the path to the ocean

After a five minute walk along the beach, our trail ride comes to an end. We dismount and are instructed to change into our bathing suits if we wanted to and to meet out front when every is locked up, including our shoes. No shoes, not even water shoes, are allowed.

Taking the horses for a swim

While we waited for our horses to be prepared for our “swim”, Richie offered us ice-cold sodas or bottled water. A special pad and halter designed for use in the ocean replaced the leather saddle. No pommel to grab! I was fine but there were a couple of first-timers that had never been on a horse. The guy in front of me was one of them.

Half-Moon-Cay-horseback-riding-steps

As soon as we were all ready to head to the ocean, we were off. The running came later!

Half Moon Cay Horses in the Ocean

Slowly we entered the water. NOTE:  For some reason, the horses tend to poop when they get in the water. Just a suggestion…look out for floaters.

This part of the horseback riding experience goes way too fast. Within maybe five minutes of our going one direction, the wranglers tell us to turn around and head back. The horses know they’re heading back and want to get to the stable asap. Not that they can gallop, but it’s definitely a faster pace.

It’s an exhilarating and exciting experience, for sure. I love the freedom of just being on a horse and letting him “go”. I’ve overheard newbies say that it was a highlight of their cruise.

As you and your horse slowly transition from sea to sand, wait until someone comes by to help you to dismount. Then it’s back to retrieve your belongings from the locker and head to the tram.

Quick interview with Richie

Take a listen to Richie as he briefly talks about the behind the scenes events for the horses and life at the ranch.

In a nutshell: Half Moon Cay horseback riding cruise excursion details

Here’s what you need to know…plus some insider advice. Keep in mind this entire shore excursion will take just under two hours.

  • If you take the late morning tour, you won’t have much time for the beach barbecue.
  • Wear jeans or long pants for the trail ride. I suggest dark pants. The dye from the leather rubbed off on my khakis.
  • You must wear closed-toe shoes. Despite knowing better, a guy in my group wore sandals. He wasn’t allowed to ride.
  • Bring sunscreen.
  • Put your swimsuit on underneath your riding clothes.
  • If you plan to go to the beach afterwards, bring a towel.
  • If you have a waterproof fanny pack , you can keep it on in the water. No handbags, backpacks etc.
  • You can give your iPhone to one of the shoreside wranglers or an observer to take your photo. Be polite when asking.
  • You don’t need to bring water. Everyone gets a bottle or a soda.
  • Tips are welcome. Simply hand it to Richie after your ride.
  • If you’ve never ridden a horse, tell Richie. He’ll make sure you get the best horse for a beginner.

That’s it! Get ready for one of the best shore excursions ever. If you’ve already tried this tour, please share your experience in comments!

Ten Essential Items I Always Pack For a Cruise

Ten Essential Items I Always Pack For a Cruise

Hi, yes, there are official photos taken as well as if you give your phone/camera to one of the shoreside guides. Or ask another rider to take your photo and vice versa. Have fun!

Hi! Are there official photos or videos that may be purchased for this excursion, and do you know the price? Do they take cash or card?

Thank you for your comment. I would advise you to contact the cruise line and go from there to maybe the shore excursions department if that is possible. Good luck.

Hello. Can someone email me? I am trying retrieve my horseback riding video that was never sent to me. Thank you

Hi Bert, Yikes! That’s pretty scary. Yes, there is some risk involved and that’s why we signed those waivers. I can see why a newbie rider would feel a little intimidated on the ride in the water. Sometimes the horses do clump together and I don’t like that feeling of being squished. I can’t imagine how you must have felt as the water saddle slipped and you fell in. Sounds horrible.

I hope you’re better soon. Thank you for sharing your information. It’s important to note that even the most experienced riders need to ask the ranch hand to double-check that both saddles are securely tightened. There’s a risk to so many shore excursions these days.

The staff was great and entertaining. Some of our group were feeling that they hadn’t been warned that this ride was as intense as it was in the water.

On our ride, the ride one way was uneventful but I was wondering how to stay on. I wouldn’t say they were swimming because you could feel them hitting the bottom as we moved. The horses were quite close together.

On the return, my saddle started to slip to one side and for lack of anything better to do, I hung on, eventually falling into the water as the saddle continued to slip. The horse kicked me as it went by.

Its taken about 6 weeks before the swelling has receded, but there is a big lump on my quad where the impact was. Luckily it was on my leg instead of my head or ribs which would have been an expensive trip home.

I’m 175 and I was told I was a natural on the land part of the ride but I do think people need to understand there is some risk to this event.

The Routes and Sights

Most rides include the option of wading in our crystal-clear ocean water, at beaches such as Pillory Beach , Governor's Beach , and East Side Beach .

Prices range from about $120-180. Tours may be booked through your cruise line as a “shore excursion”, or privately on your own. When booking, be sure to confirm the time and which vessel you’re arriving on.

Ride Da Rhythm

carnival cruise excursions horseback riding

This new riding stable is located on Lighthouse Road, to the northeast of Cockburn Town.

Guided 60 and 90-minute beach rides on Pillory Beach (the calmest beach on the island) are offered, as well as custom tours.

Tour Details and Requirements

  • Minimum rider age of six years.
  • Tours range from 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
  • No previous riding experience is required.
  • Drinks are typically included.
  • Tours are not suitable for those who may be pregnant or have back injuries.
  • As is also the case with the stables on the island of Providenciales, small and hardy island ponies are used. Because of this, there is a weight limit of 220 pounds (100 kg) per rider per horse.
  • Helmets are available for children and those who request them.

Cruise Center Transport

Transport from the Grand Turk Cruise Center is included with all horseback riding tours, and the local businesses will work with the cruise ship schedules.

If you have a rental car , it’s possible to make your own way to the stable, yet for most, they will likely be difficult to find. We advise consulting the map and having a phone , so you’ll be able to call if necessary.

What to Wear and Bring

Recommended riding apparel differs according to whether you’d like to wade in the ocean or not.

On land, it’s best to go with long pants and closed shoes.

If you expect to ride in the ocean, flip-flops and long pants that won’t get bogged down with water are preferable.

Due to our intense sun, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen are recommended as well. To avoid sunburn , long sleeve rash guards or synthetic shirts are also a good choice.

A compact camera may be brought, yet we advise against larger types. Be aware of the risk of damage by water or falls.

See the coastal flora and fauna of Seaside Nature Park, while enjoying this leisurely horseback riding experience, and cool down with your horse in the Caribbean Sea. No prior riding experience is required. Ride your horse behind the guide in a small group, over the winding trails. Enjoy the view of the neighboring Caribbean islands like St. Barts and Saba, while your horse follows the trails along the rocky coastline. The guides will tell you about the flora and fauna, as well as the island’s rich history. Photo stops will be made.

Next, you and your horse will go into the sea. You’ll get a chance to take off your shoes, or better, wear water shoes. The saddles will stay on. Remember, what you wear should be allowed to get wet. This is another great photo opportunity! After your ride in the sea, it is only a few minutes ride back to the stables. You’ll have an opportunity to change your clothes and enjoy a refreshment in the shaded beach bar area, after your ride. Guests are encouraged to bring cash or credit card to purchase optional extras, such as souvenirs, food and drinks, photo materials and treats for the different animals in the park.
