The day begins with a slow coastal light over the Garifuna village of Hopkins as you climb into an air-conditioned van for a short transfer to a family-run ranch. Horses nudge and stamp in a shaded corral; saddles creak and the guide gives a quick briefing. You set off under a green canopy, the rainforest pressing close on either side, the scent of citrus from orange groves following like a companion. Trails open to river flats where horses willingly step into cooling water and riders can let their mounts swim for a few exhilarating minutes.
