Two hours, two animals, one adventure. This is a fun mash-up in Miami that mixes free videos and pictures with beautiful, well-trained horses, and guides like Carlos and Manalito often keep the vibe friendly and upbeat. You get a real taste of South Florida outdoors instead of just driving around town.

The main thing to think about is the cost in real life. The $100 price is only part of the total once you add required trail fees and deal with the waiver/security deposit process on arrival.

Key things to know before you go

• Small group size (up to 6) keeps the experience more hands-on.
• Waiver + ID/credit card is required before riding, and you’ll also handle a deposit.
• ATV + horse time is exactly 1 hour each, so it’s fast-paced but focused.
• Bring face coverage for ATV dust—you’ll get dirty.
• Farm-side activities are available after riding, with lunch also offered on-site for an extra cost.
• Price can feel different than $100 after the day-of fees are included, so confirm totals upfront.

ATV trails plus horseback at Brothers Family Park

This combo tour is built for people who want motion and variety in a single outing. One hour you’re on an ATV trail, then you switch gears to an easygoing horseback ride. Both are guided, and that matters. It means you’re not guessing how to handle the animals or how to ride safely on the trail.

The setting is also part of the draw. Your base is Brothers Family Park, with a farm atmosphere and lots of other activities nearby. The operator describes it as the biggest agricultural farm in Miami, and even if you just stick to the ATV and horses, the surrounding farm energy makes the whole thing feel less like a pit stop and more like a full afternoon.

One more practical note: the tour involves a handoff between locations. You may ride out with an Xplor van to the ATV trail, or in some cases you might be told to go directly. Either way, calling when you arrive and knowing your check-in point saves time and stress.

What your $100 booking really turns into

On paper, it’s $100 per person for 1 hour ATV + 1 hour horse ride. That’s a fair “starter price,” but here’s the math you should actually expect.

Not included:

• ATV trail admission fee: $30 per person
• Horse trail fee: $50 per person
• Booster seat: $50 per person (if needed)

Included:

• Orientation and safety instructions
• The waiver process needed to ride
• The hour on the ATV
• The hour horseback riding

Also expect a temporary hold:

• $100 temporary hold per ATV placed on the day of the tour
• It’s returned the same day, and payment methods listed include cash, Zelle, Cash App, or credit card

So, before you factor in lunch or anything optional, you’re already looking at $80 per person in trail fees ($30 + $50). That brings the “day-of total” much closer to what you’d think a premium ATV + horse experience should cost.

Now, a word of caution based on the cost confusion people report: some folks felt the final total ended up much higher than the $100 headline. The best antidote is simple—ask for the full total before you arrive, and double-check what’s being charged at check-in. If you’re traveling as a group, do it the same way for everyone so nobody gets surprised.

Checking in: waivers, deposits, and the 6-person limit

This isn’t the kind of tour where you roll up and start riding immediately. You’ll sign a liability waiver before you participate, and they specifically tell you to keep ID and credit card with you because you need them for the waiver and to complete the security deposit process.

Weight and age rules also matter:

• ATV weight limit is listed around 350–400 pounds
• You must be 18+ to participate
• If you’re under 18, you need a driver license for the ATV

That age-and-license rule is worth planning for. If you have teenagers in your group, don’t assume they can just ride. Get clarity on who will drive versus who can ride in whatever setup the staff uses on-site.

Finally, the group size is capped at 6 travelers. That’s a big deal for quality. Smaller groups usually mean more guidance, less waiting, and less chaos around getting helmets and getting lined up.

Hour 1: ATV orientation and trail tips that save your mood

Your first hour centers on the ATV. Expect a quick orientation and safety instructions before you hit the trail. That step is part of why this experience works for first-timers—there’s structure, not just trial-and-error.

A few practical tips from the reality of ATV rides:

• Cover your face. Dust is part of the deal, and you’ll want something to protect your nose and mouth.
• Wear something you don’t mind getting dirty. This is a farm trail environment, and that means grit.
• Bring your patience for check-in and handoffs. If the van shuttles you to the trail, you’ll want to be ready when they call your group.

If you’re worried you’ll waste time because you’re not sure where to go: you might need to follow instructions to the trail in some cases. The operator tells you to call when you arrive and to ask for the ATV check-in point at the restaurant if you need help. That’s a straightforward fix, but it requires you to take action rather than assuming someone will find you.

One more thing: there’s a $100 temporary hold per ATV. Even though it’s returned, it still ties up funds momentarily. If you’re paying with credit card, plan around that.

Hour 2: Horseback riding in the farm setting

After the ATV portion, you switch to horseback riding for another hour. This is where the experience shifts from speed and dust to something calmer and more “hands-on” with the animals.

The horses are described as beautiful and well trained. That’s important for comfort, especially if you’re a beginner or you’re traveling with someone who doesn’t want a rodeo-style experience. Trained horses generally mean fewer surprises and a smoother ride.

Still, you should dress for farm conditions. Even if the pace is gentler, you can expect outdoor wear: closed-toe shoes help, and you’ll want to think about sun and bugs in South Florida.

One helpful way to reduce friction: if you have preferences about order (horses first versus ATV first), call and ask. Some scheduling confusion has come up before, and getting ahead of it is the easiest win.

The bonus after riding: farm activities and where you can refuel

The tour isn’t only about the two rides. Your base area is Brothers Family Park, and the operator says there are other activities after the ATV tours and horseback riding. The list includes things like:

• A petting zoo
• A bird aviary
• Airboat rides
• Camel rides
• Plus lunch available at an on-site restaurant for an additional fee

Not every extra activity is included in your package price. But having options nearby is a real value if you’re traveling with mixed interests—someone can do more, someone can cool down with food, and nobody has to sit in a parking lot for the whole afternoon.

Also, since you’re already at a farm setting, you’re more likely to feel like you used your time well. This is different from a tour where you’re gone quickly and back in traffic. Here, you have a place to linger.

Price and logistics: how to avoid the “surprise total” feeling

Even when the activity is great, people can feel upset if the billing process isn’t crystal clear. From what you’re told upfront, you can avoid that.

Here’s how I’d handle it:

• Treat the $100 as a base price, not the whole total.
• Factor in the required $30 ATV trail and $50 horse trail fees per person.
• Be ready for the same-day $100 temporary hold (per ATV) that is returned.
• If you need a booster seat, plan for that $50 cost.
• Ask what you’ll pay at location versus what’s already paid during booking.

If you do the math before you go, you’ll feel in control. And if anything doesn’t match your expectations at check-in, politely ask for an itemized breakdown. Calm questions usually work better than trying to fix it after you’re already waiting in line.

Who should book this ATV + horse combo?

This is a good fit if you want:

• A hands-on outdoor experience in about 2.5 hours
• A mix of action (ATV) and animal time (horses)
• A small group tour capped at 6 travelers
• A guided experience that includes orientation and safety instructions

It’s especially appealing for couples and small groups who want one ticket that covers both an ATV hour and a horseback hour without the hassle of planning two separate tours.

You might want to skip or rethink if:

• You need the total price to match the $100 headline with no day-of additions
• Your group includes someone who can’t meet the ATV age/ID rules or weight limit
• You hate messy check-in steps and prefer a tour that runs like a machine

Should you book this Miami ATV and horse ride?

If you go in with clear expectations, I think this is a solid deal for what you’re getting. The rides are time-limited and guided, the group is small, and the farm setting gives you extra things to do after you’re done with the ATV and horses. Guides like Carlos and Manalito are specifically noted for keeping the experience fun and for providing videos and pictures, which adds a nice keepsake layer.

My advice is to book if you’re comfortable paying the listed day-of fees and you double-check the final total before you arrive. If you want to stay close to the $100 number and nothing else, this tour is probably going to frustrate you.
