Lucky Stables Champagne Sunset Horseback Ride on the Beach

Canter along a deserted Caribbean shoreline as the sun melts into the horizon, then toast the moment with chilled champagne while still in the saddle. Lucky Stables' famous evening ride is the most romantic hour you will spend on any island.

What to expect

Groups of no more than eight riders set out from the stables through tropical countryside before descending to a quiet beach stretch reserved for Lucky Stables guests. Your guide narrates island lore as hooves splash through the surf at dusk. As the sky turns coral and gold, your guide produces chilled champagne — you raise a glass from horseback with the Caribbean Sea as your backdrop. It is, simply, unforgettable.
