You will get to ride horses. You won’t be riding them on the beach. You will get to ride horses on the road, while dodging other buggies driving in the street. Before we got to ride any horses, we received a sales pitch for various magnets and souvenirs at the dropoff point. We then took a detour on the way to the beach for a twenty minute sales pitch for more souvenirs. When we got to the beach, we didn’t get to ride the horses there, instead just waiting at the beach for fifteen minutes before turning around. In this time, five different people approached us to try to sell us more things. On the way home, our driver made us stop at yet another souvenir store. We waited in the parking lot for twenty minutes before half of the van got fed up and took Ubers home. Ultimately this excursion feels like a gauntlet of souvenir stores. You’ll ride horses, but it certainly won’t be on the beach.
This was the worse experience! To start with the driver came over one hour late because he was sent to the wrong hotel. Our reservation was for 6 people, but only 3 horses were there when we arrived. We waited over an hour for them to bring three more horses. The horses looked sickly and malnourished. The horse I got kept trying to eat the branches and push up against the shrub and the Bobwire. I ended up slicing up my leg. We finally got to the beach and I was able to rinse the wound and put some antiseptic. We were promised a ride back and to wait for the owner 1.5 later still never showed up. The two hour excursion turned out to be a whole day. I had to pay my ride back to our hotel. Supposedly the cab was waiting for us and left before we rode back with horses. I talked to Pablo “cab driver” he was only to give us a ride there not a ride back to the hotel so the people of the workers lied to us. Worst experience ever!

Set this excursion up through trip Advisor. Added hotel pick up information prior to the trip. 8am pick up time. We were outside waiting prior to pick up time. Waited 30 minutes and our bellhop called the company. Said driver was already there and no one was outside. Sent a picture of the vehicle, and the background wasn't our hotel. They sent another driver 45 minutes after original pickup time. We were taken to a remote gas station where they had a man on a horse dragging two other horses behind him. We asked where the ranch was, and we were told they always bring the horses to the gas station. When we got close to the horses, we noticed how underweight they were with numerous scars on their body. We were told to get on the horses so we could go. We proceeded to cross a four lane highway and down a gravel road for 15 minutes. We rode to a beach and were there two minutes and told to dismount. For the next 45 minutes we were hounded by vendors or solicitors trying to get you to buy their items. Back on the horse and this time told to get off the horses at a bus stop, where our driver met us to take us back to our hotel. None of this is as described in the description of this excursion. We felt extremely uncomfortable. I would also have filed a complaint for animal cruelty with the condition of these horses. Extremely disappointed in the whole experience.

Our driver Daris was very nice and looked out for us which we appreciated. The horseback riding was fun, it was nice getting to hang out on the beach although we would have liked to ride the horses on the beach more. Our tour guide did a good job of coaching us. Chris took some great pictures of us. Overall great experience. I would recommend.

The operator did a mess with my pick up time and I had to go later in the day. The guide was a nice guy, however the organizer not as he was blame me for not answering his message which i initially answered and he confirmed that pick up time and location, which he did not attend. Also, when I arrived on the beach with the horse they were many people bagging for money and also order things at the bar which I didn't ask for. not again with the same operator, however the guy who accompanied me was nice.
The experience of horseback riding on Macau beach was spectacular. The view of the ocean and the white sand are simply breathtaking.
This horseback riding is ideal for everyone, even beginners. The guides are patient and make you feel safe while enjoying the scenery.
A tour that combines adventure and relaxation. Horseback riding on Macau beach was a unique experience that left me amazed. Fully recommended!
I loved the horseback riding on the beach. The tranquility and scenery were perfect. Besides, the horses were very well cared for and trained.
