Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the horseback ride? Is it cold on the beach?

A: You definitely want to dress in layers! The beach can get chilly with the ocean breeze, even in the summer. Wear long pants (no shorts allowed) and maybe a light jacket. Sneakers or boots are great for riding. Bring a hat and sunscreen too, since you’ll be out in the sun for a while.

Q: How strict are the height and weight requirements for the horses?

A: They do have some guidelines, usually around 250 lbs max, but it really depends on the horse's size. Best to check with the provider directly before booking if you have concerns. They’re really helpful and can give you the exact details!

Q: If the beach ride gets canceled, what's the forest ride like?

A: The forest ride is really beautiful and peaceful! You’ll be surrounded by trees and wildlife, which is a nice change of pace. It’s not as expansive as the beach, but you still get some stunning views. Plus, the trails are well maintained!

Just Booked the Horseback Ride & Alcatraz Tour for My Partner’s Birthday!

I’m super excited! We’ll start with the beach ride, and then head to Alcatraz. I’ve heard the views are just amazing from both spots. I’m wondering if anyone has tips for the best seafood places for lunch after the ride? Any recommendations?

Thinking About Buying This for My Sister’s Graduation Gift!

So, I’m looking into this Horseback Ride & Alcatraz experience for my sister who just graduated. She loves outdoor stuff! But I’m a little nervous about the weather and if we’ll be able to reschedule if it rains. Anyone know how flexible they are?
