Red Ridge Stable Horseback Riding

 

What They Offer: Two-hour guided trail rides through the jungle and around the island, with morning and afternoon scheduled rides. The tours typically include rides to the beach, up Pumpkin Hill (the tallest point on Utila with panoramic views), through jungle trails, and sometimes to freshwater caves.

Location & Access: The stable is located on Airport Highway, about a 30-minute walk from the main town. They offer pickup service from hotels and dive shops if you arrange it in advance.

Pricing: Tours cost around $45 for a two-hour ride, which visitors consistently describe as excellent value.

The Experience: Riders rave about guide Sterling, who is praised for his knowledge of local flora, fauna, and island history. The horses are reportedly well-cared for, healthy, and calm, making the rides suitable for beginners and experienced riders alike.

Booking: It's best to contact them at least a day in advance. You can sign up through local dive shops, at Utila Lodge, or find them on Facebook. Their phone number is 504-425-3143 or Whatsapp +504 3390 4812

Many visitors say this is one of the best ways to see the interior and north side of Utila, offering a nice break from the island's diving-focused activities. The rides take you through parts of the island that most tourists never see.
