Description

Cappadocia, known as the “Land of Beautiful Horses” is the ideal place to explore on horseback. Horses have held a distinctive place in Cappadocia history for thousands of years and the unique landscapes around Goreme are perfect for exploring on a native Anatolian or Arabic horse – with a real Turkish cowboy! We also offer all-day trail rides and multiple-day excursions on horseback. Additional Information on horse riding tours: Some riding experience is recommended as there are several areas where you may be required to dismount and walk the horse and then mount the horse again to continue the tour. The Turkish cowboy will be with you the entire time for assistance but you will be expected to handle your horse during the tour. Helmets are available at the ranch upon request. Depending on the season, a light jacket may be necessary as you will be at different elevations during the tour. Comfortable clothing and flat shoes are recommended.

Horse back riding

It was a good experience for first time riding, the horses are well behaved and fun to be around. The horses are clean and don’t smell like wild animal so you don’t need to worry about that. It was a couples experience so you can get pictures with your spouse.

Awesome views on horseback!

We enjoyed a 2 hour horseback ride with Rasit as our guide. It was very enjoyable, towards the end we stopped to purchase coffee and refreshments. They took an initial photo, then while on the tour by the Red valley (which was beautiful) our guide helped us with more photos. The pace was nice and slow, they give you a helmet and help you get comfortable and give you guidance on how to maneuver the horse. It was very funny sometimes the horse wanted to stop and eat plants. I would highly recommend it. No galloping was done although horse sometimes wanted to. Transport to and from the location was provided.

Warm and helpful cowboy guides

A must-do in Cappadocia! From their customer service to their cowboy guides, everyone was extremely warm and helpful. We tried other similar tours around but this one we could feel how they cared about the horses and the customers. Seeing the important valleys in one go is a bargain. I can’t recommend them enough. Bonus points: you get loving head bumps from the horses!

Quite peaceful ride on some beautiful horses

Guide wasn’t very chatty but boy gosh is he a fantastic photographer / videographer. Horses appear to be in well kept condition and had a fantastic temperament. At no point did I ever feel unsafe. Views of love valley were spectacular and well worth the money. They gave us photos at the end with encured a fee but that was fine because again brilliant photographer guide. (2 photos for 400 lira)

Operator response

Glad you enjoyed the views and felt safe throughout! Our guide’s photography skills are definitely a bonus. Thanks for choosing SkyWay Travel.

Don’t think twice, book now!

Our Cappadocia horseback riding tour was absolutely amazing from start to finish! From the moment we arrived at the ranch, the experience was exceptional. The staff were not only helpful and professional but also incredibly funny, making us feel like we all bonded with each other and the horses. Yasin aka the Turkish Cowboy was so funny and helpful, definitely elevated our experience. I'm still thinking about my horse she was such a special part of the experience. A huge thank you to everyone working there who made this such a memorable adventure! :)

Great experience for an up close view of the valleys with minimal other tourists

After doing the red and the green tours, my wife and I were looking for something a little further away from the crowds of tourists. This tour certainly accomplished that. We went through many of the valleys with amazing views and got to see some fresco art on cave walls along the way. This was only my third time riding a horse and my inexperience certainly showed. But our guide, Aziz, did a great job helping me along and giving me tips of how to get the horse to go where I wanted it to. He also was kind enough to take many pictures of us along the way. I certainly recommend this tour for those looking to get an up close view of the valleys.
