We had a great experience riding the horses along the beach and in the water. I want to do it again! The staff was knowledgeable and the horses were sweet.

Ian from Barefoot Services met us at the airport, and drove us to our hotel in Placencia. He stopped at a store along the way, and even had a cooler for us to put some drinks in, He answered any questions we had about Belize, including identifying a few birds along the way. He was absolutely wonderful! When it was time to leave he met us again and drove us back to the airport, again telling stories and answering questions. We enjoyed the ride!

I can always count on Barefoot Services to make my trips to Placencia Belize a breeze. We really enjoyed the full moon horseback ride and the jungle tour. Can’t wait to be back!

We had 2 beginners and an expert in our group. All 3 of us had a blast. I recommend using a zip lock bag to protect your phone while taking pictures. We would highly recommend this place! Our guide, Alexando, was awesome! I hope I spelt his name correctly!

This was a great excursion for our family. The atv tour was very dusty but so much fun! Getting to the waterfall was perfect timing to cool off and clean up in the refreshing waterfall. Willy was awesome atv guide and Ian was attentive to all our needs to get us there and have fresh fruit and water at the waterfall.
