On Horseback Along Barbados' East Coast with Ocean Echo
By Rekke Editorial
Ocean Echo is an all encompassing place to relax and unwind through the combination of Horse-back rides and hikes through the country to the beach and Yoga, all with the option to stay on-site and enjoy the peace and tranquility that comes with its location on the east coast of Barbados.
When an "All-Inclusive" is not your style, and you desire a more intimate, quieter location in which you can rejuvenate, this is the ideal place. All-Encompassing relaxation, not all-inclusive chaos.
Horse-Back Riding
Ocean Echo Stables offers 5 different horse-back tours ranging in duration from 1 hour to 3. Each tour is very different, allowing for varying comfort levels and abilities with horses. From the short easy 1 hour ride through the coastal countryside passing banana groves on the way down to Bath beach, to the 3 hour trek for more experienced riders up for a challenging ride and are happy on horseback for longer periods of time at varied paces. Mounted on fine endurance horses, there’s plenty to see as you take in incredible views along the trek. Visit Bath Beach, Codrington College along the way as we meander through cart roads on down to Conset Bay, a fishing village nestled deep in the east coast of the countryside of Barbados.
In between these 2 are other rides which will always take in some of the beautiful countryside and the awesome beaches for which Barbados is famous.
The final ride offered is a truly unique experience, a Full-Moon Ride. This cool night ride is for the adventurous looking for a unique and memorable riding experience in those bright Caribbean nights around full moon. Prepare for an unparalleled experience of Caribbean wildlife at night, meet fire flies and fruit bats, prior riding experience necessary.
Yoga

This is the perfect location for those seeking a true "get-away", with time and space to relax and reconnect, away from the grind of every day, and away from the bustle of a major tourist resort. Despite the remoteness and peacefulness of this beautiful place, it is not so remote as to be disconnected from everything else Barbados has to offer. Approximately half an hour from the bustling Bridgetown or Oistens, only a few minutes further to Holetown, and at most an hour from the northern tip of Barbados. You can really tough the entire island from here, and still end up in the most tranquil environment you could how to have for your escape.
