“Our driver Ricardo was great! On our way to go horse back riding and Dunn's Falls, he told us the history of the island and pointed out landmarks. It was my first time horse back riding and the trainer Jay was great. He also told me about horses and the horse I was riding. Initially I was nervous but after a while I felt comfortable. We rode along the beach and took pictures and they came out great. We then headed to Dunn's Falls. That was an adventure. I only made it half way to the top. Although I didn't finish, I'm glad I experienced it. On our way back…”
