Our family of 5 enjoyed this excursion in May 2023. Don't let the sticker shock deter you! It is worth every penny! You will discover the staff to be fun to be around, and professional. Ask them lots of questions! They have a great depth of knowledge of the horses, etc. You will be in great hands! We rode for over an hour and half, and enjoyed hot chocolate and refreshments around a campfire afterwards. What a great touch! We even got to feed the horses some oats afterwards. Another delight, especially for our 11 year old daughter! The horses are tame, stable, calm, safe. The scenery is breath-taking! Wow! We could not have asked for a better excursion! And there is nothing the staff could have done to make it even better! Words are barely adequate to share how glad we were to take this excursion with such an amazing team of people!

I enjoyed the ride; the horses were well-behaved and the guides did a nice job. I was a little disappointed that we did so much road riding, and that we spent a fair amount of time hanging out in a pasture with the horses grazing. As an experienced rider, I would love to come back and do more of an advanced ride on actual trails through the forest.

Nice ride through the Alaskan rain forest! Staff was waiting at the pier and provided history and commentary during the ride to the stable. The horses were well behaved and I enjoyed Sundance very much! Throughout the ride, Tanner was not only funny but also very concerned with guest safety and comfort. Very well run!

A lovely relaxed horseback ride in beautiful scenery. A unique experience not available anywhere else. Friendly staff, good horses and great value for money! Thanks to guides Joe and Thor - especially to Blaze the pony.

Great company to work with. Even though our excursion was cancelled due to injuries to the horses. I was contact first thing in the morning and offered another excursion to replace this one. Will use again one our next adventure into Alaska.

The staff themselves were extremely knowledgeable and friendly; however, the tour itself was sort of boring because we did not go fast and just plodded along a trail just looking at woods and getting to know the personalities and names of the horses that we were all riding (and would never meet again). There was one section where it was pretty and we were on a plain but it was just all right. I could've been anywhere riding a horse.

We had a great time. Beautiful stroll through the wooded area and wonderful view of the mountains. Loved hearing about each horse and their personalities. Only thing to be careful of was our ship ported in Haines instead of Skagway and we had to take the $$$ fairy over.

A beautiful ride through the forest to the open flats. Horses well cared for and so gentle, great handlers. Made me feel like I was on the frontier. Thanks so much.

The crew and horses where all amazing from top to bottom. The knowledge of the guides on the surroundings and their knowledge of each horse's attitudes and tendencies was absolute professional. The only thing that we were slightly disappointed on was completely our fault. We expected the ride to be a more "off the beaten" remote trail. Something along a creek in the woods or out in a meadow , and possibly up a slight rise on a mountain or basically something that would put you in a more wild Alaska feeling. This trail was just down the side of gravel road with a few cars and other motorist meeting you. When we made our way out to the open part there were several other groups of people either fishing or sightseeing. We rested four 5 minutes and headed back. Not quite the trail ride we expected or are used to but that was completely our fault for not asking those questions before hand. Like I mentioned, the horses where great and the crew was great at telling stories and facts. Honestly we probably learned more on Alaska from that group than any other on the whole trip.

Now this was a fantastic excursion!! My daughter and I loved it. The girls at the ranch were awesome.. would highly recommend it. The actual ride is about 2 hrs.

Great tour! Would highly recommend to anyone. My son's favorite part of our cruise. Horses were very gentle, rain forest was beautiful and so nice to see from a horse. Very personal experience. Guides were very helpful and knowledgeable. I had no experience with a horse, and yet did just fine. Our guide, Sarah, was totally in control and remained calm when a brown bear crossed our path just 100 ft. behind us. "Oh ... look it's a bear" she quietly said. We turned just in time to see it walk past. That is quite a memory! She provided fun narration and assistance throughout the tour. Concluded with hot chocolate and snacks.

Really enjoyed the horseback ride. Haven't been on a horse since I was a child but the horses were well behaved and I had no trouble controlling the horse. Riding through the forest and out onto the open flats was very relaxing and the scenery was beautiful.

Although the weather was not the best, it was an awesome ride into the wilderness. Our guides were great and learned a lot about each horse

This was a nice, relaxing time on our trip. Our guides were very informative, providing historical and current information while we rode through a peaceful setting. The tidal flats were a highlight, with amazing views and open spaces. This was a highlight of our time in Skagway.

we loved the horse ride would of liked to go more off the road though it seemed like we were always on a road and not a trail. JDot the tour guide on the bus was very good and informational. Joe our horse guide did a wonderful job for only being there for 5 months. overall very satisfied. Thank you
