The Best Sunset Horseback Riding Tours in Cappadocia

Don’t miss out this tour. We were welcomed with delicious apple tea and the excitement of a gentleman (maybe the owner or manager). The views are stunning and the sunset is something else!! The guys took us to the best spot for sunset pictures. Although there was a language barrier - they didn’t speak English and we didn’t speak Turkish- you could tell how much they cared and made our experience spectacular! We highly recommend this tour! You won’t regret it!

Cemal Ranch offers a truly amazing, one-of-a-kind horse riding experience in Cappadocia. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced rider, they cater to all levels with care and professionalism. What really stands out is that this is a family-run ranch with a genuine passion for horses and their well-being. Their deep understanding and mastery of horsemanship is evident throughout the experience. The team is incredibly attentive—not just to the riders, but also to the horses and the trail—ensuring everything is safe, comfortable, and enjoyable. The ride itself is peaceful and almost therapeutic, allowing you to fully take in the beauty of Cappadocia in a unique and memorable way. I would highly recommend Cemal Ranch as an essential part of any visit to the region.

Thank you Mr Cemal and his crew for being such great hosts. They were welcoming and flexible. Very professional place with many beautiful, well kept horses. Highly recommended.

very very happy!!!!!! So much fun!!! The scenery was beautiful, the guide boy doesn't understand the language but it was funny, bright and cheering!!! It was such a great tour! I want to ride again soon!!!

My 3 weeks holiday got shortened to three days after I rode on a horse here. Was a private tour for my husband and myself. Throughout our tour, the guide intermittently let go of our horses for photo taking and for us to have an experience of real horse riding. We appreciated that but the horses that day didn’t seem to be in the best mood, they wandered off quite a bit and it got quite scary with such behaviour when we were near the valleys. Was thankful that we made it back to the ranch safely, but yet, at the last moment, the horse that I was riding on ran off prematurely before I could get off fully. Our guide was not holding on to the horse and told me he would hold on to me as I got down. However, the horse ran off and I fell, and neither did he manage to hold on to me. I suffered a torn ligament in my ankle and am still nursing the injury today, 2 months down. Owner did not take my injury very seriously even though I was in a lot of pain after the fall, just simply said “I hope you are ok”, and walked off. What happened to me was probably an accident, but if the horses are sufficiently trained, accidents like this are unacceptable as customer’s safety should be a priority, especially in an area full of valleys in cappadocia.

I was taken out as a solo rider with 2 young guides on a 2 hour ride (3-5pm). The horses were all in good condition, shod, and mine (Sehir) was well behaved and responsive. Emir kept an eye on me at first to make sure I could ride, adjusted my stirrups after the first trot, and took dozens of photos at the appropriate places. And then we really had some fun. The tracks were great and we had a few good gallops as well as the calmer walks in amazing scenery. We managed to catch a bit of the sunset before I had to be back. I couldn't stop grinning. Highly recommended. Great value for money.

Amazing experience in Cappadoce. The people were nice, friendly. We did horse riding during 2 hours. The landscapes were amazing, especially with the sunset. I recommend this family place.

Booking at the last moment but accepted us with pleasure. An awesome experience I highly recommend, I was able to trot and gallop because I have a level 5 gallop and my friend was able to be helped to gallop and trot for the first time in a great panorama with adorable people

My husband and I had the best ride of our lives with our guide Amir. He really taught me so much about riding and made sure I was confident and safe on my horse. We went all the way up the most beautiful mountain to watch the sun start setting. Amir took us to the most magical spots and took my phone to get the best photos of us riding! And we got to gallop and run! And truly unforgettable experience, 11/10, highly recommend this ranch.

The area is superb. The scenery on the walk was beautiful. I did not expect that a handler would walk by me holding the reins of the horse. It felt like a pony ride for children. Each person/horse had an employee walking along side holding the reins. Also, we took an unnecessarily long break at a spot for sunset when there were clouds and no sunset. The employees were having their own fun on and off the horses while we were just hanging out in the wind. Overall, we were on horseback a little over a hour. There was no explanation of what we were looking at and no English.
