Beautiful outing on a very long quiet beach

We did the 3h hike. Very nice beach with hard sand, good horses and we were just the two of us with the guide. Communication with the guide was difficult because he did not speak English or French... but he took plenty of videos and photos. We were mainly on the beach except for the small trail to get there. You can trot and gallop if you feel capable. No instructions from the guide but memorable outing.

C’est un point important pour nous et nous allons travailler à améliorer cet aspect afin de garantir une expérience encore plus fluide et enrichissante pour tous nos clients. Nous sommes heureux que la sortie reste malgré tout un beau souvenir, avec de belles sensations au trot et au galop 🐎 Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau !

THE reason to return to Essaouira

I once again had an absolutely wonderful experience with Horse Essaouira! Horses - all stallions - are great and perfectly trained. Guides always know how to choose the one that best suits you. Me, I always do several days of riding during my stay, because for me, it is really THE reason to come back to Essaouira. And with Cheval Essaouira, it’s always a real joy. Horseback riding is fantastic, the scenery is unforgettable, and the beaches offer endless stretches where you can gallop and trot freely. I loved galloping in the forest with Ayoub, as well as Amine’s expertise and professional attention. Thank you too, Amine, for the wonderful memories in photos. Horses are really loved, and Mohamed and his team are always incredibly welcoming, professional and experienced. Thank you again, and I hope to see you soon! Leen/Lena;)

Beautiful route and great guide!

After the Sidi Kaouki trek of 3 days with our group of friends, we made a separate ride of 3 hours, led by Hamza. This outside ride was incredibly cool! It was a varied ride through woods, dunes and over the beach, with great horses. We enjoyed it, thanks Hamza and Cheval Essaouira!

Operator response

Hartelijk dank voor uw mooie bericht en fijne feedback! We zijn erg blij om te horen dat jullie zo hebben genoten van de extra rit na de 3-daagse trek in Sidi Kaouki. Hamza zal zeker blij zijn met jullie lieve woorden. Wat fijn dat jullie de paarden en de afwisselende landschappen zo hebben gewaardeerd. We hopen jullie in de toekomst opnieuw te mogen verwelkomen! Het team van Cheval Essaouira 🐎

Tragic

My experience at Cheval Essaouira was honestly shocking. The owner was unbelievably arrogant and completely out of control — yelling, disrespectful, and acting in a way no professional should. The behavior was so aggressive and unprofessional that it ruined the entire visit. I left feeling stressed and appalled. I strongly advise people to stay away from this place.

Operator response

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience, but after checking our records, we cannot find any booking or visit under your name. We take feedback very seriously, and the behavior you describe is completely inconsistent with the values and professionalism of our team.

Perfection!

I went to Morocco for my first solo trip, and I’m so glad I did. I went for a 3-hour trek and a sunset ride(s), and both were absolutely unforgettable. Meeting Mohammed was another highlight — warm, professional, and simply wonderful. He made me feel welcomed and safe from the very first moment. I returned again in the same year because the whole experience felt magical… and the second time was even more so. Mohammed encouraged me to try riding bareback — he gave me just the right amount of courage and spark I needed — and I’ll forever be grateful for that. Thank you so much, Cheval Essaouira. I can’t wait to be back soon! 💛🐎🌅

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful words! We’re truly delighted that your first solo trip to Morocco — and both treks — were such unforgettable moments for you. Mohammed will be very touched by your message; he always does his best to make every rider feel welcome, safe, and confident. It means a lot to us that you chose to come back a second time in the same year, and even more that the experience felt magical again. Seeing you try bareback riding and enjoying it so much was a real joy! We can’t wait to welcome you back for new adventures. Thank you from all of us at Cheval Essaouira!
