There are many activities you can take advantage of in your short time on the island:
  • Enjoy a sightseeing Nature Tour on horseback
  • Take a historic tour at the Sprat Hall Plantation
  • Explore a historic sugar mill
  • Savor a lunch at the Sunset Grill Resturant at Sprat Hall Beach, where you can swim, beachcomb, and sip a delicious Cruzan Rum punch.
Please book your horseback tour at least two weeks in advance, or a month in advance if around Christmas.

Have your taxi take you to Paul and Jill's Stable, on Route 58 ("Creque Dam Rain Forest Road"). We are the third driveway on the left. There is a sign on our gate post, and our metal gate will be opened by 10:00 AM. If you choose to take the $15.00/person historic tour at the Sprat Hall Plantation, arrive by 10:00 AM. You can also take the tour after the ride, however. We need to make an appointment for that tour so inform us when making your reservation.

Check-in time is at 10:30 AM (St. Croix time). The ride departs at 11:00 AM and returns by 12:30 PM. Please be aware of time changes and that we do not observe Daylight Savings Time in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Ships leaving from Miami are ordinarily on Daylight Savings Time from November through March, and thus are usually one hour late compared to local time. The ship tours sometimes operate on "ship time," thus our ride time would be one hour earlier. (If you are confused as to the local time, you can always ask a taxi driver the time.)

We are located just a five minute taxi trip from the Frederiksted pier. You must walk off the pier to grab a taxi. (The taxis on the pier are only for the tours that were pre-booked on the ship). If you have any trouble finding a taxi, ask for help from the Tourism Office at the end of the pier. The price of a taxi can be $6.00 to $10.00 US per person, one way. We suggest you arrange to have the same taxi driver return to pick you up at either 12:45 PM, or from the Sunset Grill beach restaurant at 3:00 PM. It is at least a 30-40 minute walk back to the pier should you prefer the exercise.

If you are planning to go to the beach after the ride, you may store your beach bags in our locked saddle room while out on the ride. It is only a short five minute walk down to the beach. For aspiring snorkelers, you can rent gear at one of the dive shops on Strand Street before catching a cab to our stable.
