I booked a 2h sunset trip with some friends together and we all had an amazing time there. We had a little mix up with the time of the seperated booked pickup, which was our fault honestly 😅 But they were super nice about it. And everything went really smooth from there. I'll probably book the same trip again next time I come to Marokko (probably end of Summer).
It was an incredible and unforgettable experience! We felt super free with some very calm and well-behaved horses; we trotted, and they adapted to our experience with horses. Hamza and his brother are amazing guides whom I will call every time I return to repeat the experience.
Muchísimas gracias por tus palabras tan bonitas! 🥰 Nos alegra un montón saber que os sentisteis tan libres y que disfrutasteis tanto de la tranquilidad de los caballos. Hamza y su hermano se aseguran siempre de que cada momento sea especial. ¡Fue un verdadero placer teneros con nosotros y ya estamos deseando que volváis para la próxima aventura! 🐴✨
So fun!! I was a completely new rider and felt like I learnt a lot whilst riding a well looked after horse through large sand dunes at sunset. Thank you!!!
Hi Jack, thank you so much for your review and your trust for your very first ride! You did amazing!! We are happy to hear that Hamza could teach you along the way. All the best for you and you’re always welcome to come visit us :)
Great experience, highly recommended :). The guide, Mr Hamza, was very friendly and communicative, explaining everything clearly. The horse, Chihab, was perfectly matched to the rider’s skill level and very well trained. Beautiful surroundings and trails, with easy access to the location.
Thank you so much for the high recommendation! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with Hamza. Clear communication and making sure our riders feel confident and safe is very important to us, so we are glad you felt well guided throughout the trail. A special thank you for mentioning Chihab! He truly is a wonderful, well trained horse, and we take great pride in perfectly matching each guest with the right horse for their skill level. He will definitely get an extra carrot today! We hope the memories of our beautiful surroundings stay with you for a long time, and we would love to welcome you back to Essaouira in the future!
The ride with Guide Hamza was truly an amazing experience. One thing that was very important to me was that the horses are treated well and properly cared for. The horses looked healthy, calm and very well taken care of, which made me feel comfortable from the start. Hamza and the whole team were incredibly kind, attentive and respectful. They really listened to my wishes, took care of me throughout the ride, and made the whole experience exactly how I imagined it. Riding along the beach was absolutely beautiful and something I will never forget. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a professional team, well-cared-for horses and a truly special adventure 🌅🐎

I’ve done the 4-days horse trekking with Hamza in Morocco and he has been a great guide! He’s so kind, professional, friendly, and you can sense his love for horses by the way he treats them. I’ve learned a lot from this experience and can’t wait to be back again!

Hamza was incredibly happy to read your kind words: his horses truly are his world, so hearing that our guests notice and appreciate the love and care we put into them means everything to us! You did an amazing job on the trail, and we are so proud of everything you learned during the journey. The Atlantic coast and your favorite horses will be waiting for you whenever you're ready to come back for the next adventure.
Hamza is the perfect instructor whatever your level of experience. It was my first time and I felt very safe. Hamza and his partner Yamina made everything very easy and their horses are not only extremely beautiful but very calm and under complete control. Highly recommend this excursion to both experienced and first time riders.

I had an amazing three day trek with Hamza. We got to take our incredibly well trained horses around the beaches, deserts and forests over the three days. As well as a wonderful riding experience Hamza made sure I ate well and provided my with wonderful accommodation to stay in.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you for the 3 day trek. Hamza and the whole team are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the journey through Morocco’s diverse landscapes: from the endless beaches to the forests and dunes. We take great pride in the training and well being of our horses, so hearing that you felt that connection with them means a lot to us. We also believe that a great trek is just as much about the hospitality, the good food, and a comfortable place to rest after a long day in the saddle, so we're glad you felt well taken care of! We hope to welcome you back to Essaouira for another adventure in the future.
Amazing 2 hours! We rode through the forest, the dunes, and had a great gallop on the beach at sunset. Everything felt super organized and safe, and the horses are beautiful and happy. Highly recommend
We are very glad that you enjoyed your trip and noticed that we treat our horses well. This is our nr. 1 priority as well as the safety of our guests. We would love to see you again on your next trip to Morocco!
