The best horseback riding experience ever! 😍👌🏻
Beautiful experience. My children and I had never been horseback riding. Our guide was super attentive and kind. He was always next to me and even took photos and videos of us at the most beautiful spots along the beach at sunset. Highly recommended! Thank you
It was a truly wonderful experience!!
Very nice experience; I absolutely recommend it.
For personal reasons, the activity could not be completed. Despite this, the provider, with great professionalism, managed the situation very well, refunding the activity and offering a gift of another service in compensation for our distress. A big thank you to him.
I went for a 2 hour ride on the beach with my daughter. The horses were beautiful and suitable for the standard we had asked for, we thought it might be 2 hours including drop and pickup in the minibus, but were lucky to get a two hour ride. Our guide was friendly and spoke some English. This was a proper local experience, I felt the horses were well looked after and clearly they were an asset to be treated with respect. Silver, Ashgan and Chichi seemed full of life and enjoyed the spin out on the beach. If you really want to gallop across the sands , I would recommend going when the tide is well out. We didn’t require this as I was a bit rusty and my daughter is still a novice. Thanks to everyone and for the lovely photos you sent me, especially special since we had forgotten to ride with our phones !
Lovely horses and really enjoyed galloping on beach at sunset and riding through the dunes and the waves.
The tour was incredible. Our guide was amazing and heped us through the experience since we are begginers. The nature is so beautiful and the horses were well behaved.
Super organized, very friendly care, great views, well ridden horses, very individual on riding ability.
Amazing experience. Our guide took great care of us and was lovely. He took the time to take photos and even took videos for us of us galloping on the beach.
