A beautiful 3 hour ride through the national park and on the beach. Super hot, but amazing and worth it. The horses are very well trained and trail horses and yet still willing to gallop when asked. I would highly recommend this.

I thought it was a great experience. The two managers always had a good overview and everything under control. The horses were very well-behaved and adapted to the rider. The instructions were also clear and well explained. The experienced riders were even allowed to gallop along the beach. It was a wonderful experience for my wife, our daughters, and me!! Highly recommended!!!

This is exactly what you'd expect from any trail ride, with 20 people, except you're in Mallorca and have amazing beautiful views around you. So many reviews indicated that you needed to be experienced to really enjoy this ride, but I didn't find that to be the case, in fact, my daughter who's an experienced rider wanted to rate this a 3, mainly because she was bored out of her mind. I have some riding experience but I'm rusty and other than thinking 3 hours was a little long for my level, it was enjoyable. I didn't know what to expect but over all it was a beautiful, although hot, ride in a mix of coastal forest and coastline. The coast was gorgeous and I wish we had another day to explore the natural Parc we rode through. The horses all looked well cared for and knew the route well. A few things to note on my four vs five rating: Arrive early to get geared up. We didn't know to do this and were the last ones to arrive. Everyone else was saddled! This probably impacted which horses we got and why my daughter was bored. The gallop was a cantor and some riders really didn't know what they were doing, but still wanted to "gallop". I think this made it more difficult for the experienced riders I knew the group size before we booked so it wasn't a surprise, but I think this experience would be better in smaller groups, 8-10 riders max. We had 20 riders and two guides. They didn't communicate much, but I didn't mind. If you need a lot of communication this might not be for you. In the future I need to plan better and be sure to book with smaller group rides. Lastly, for those who are unsure or have never ridden a horse before, a horse is a horse (aka an animal), so even though these animals are well trained and know the route in their sleep, trot in the same place they always trot etc., they are still animals and can be unpredictable. This is the case with the best of the best. Horse riding is a high risk activity, and everyone should know this before getting on a horse.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and balanced review! 🐴🌊😊 We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed riding through the beautiful coastal forest and shoreline of northern Mallorca, and that you found our horses to be well cared for and reliable companions. It's also wonderful to know that, despite some initial concerns, you felt the ride was enjoyable even without being an advanced rider. Regarding the pace of the ride, our guides always adapt it to the overall experience of the group. For safety reasons, faster sections are only offered when both the terrain and the riders' abilities allow it, ensuring everyone can enjoy the experience safely. We understand that very experienced riders may sometimes wish for a faster pace, but our priority is always the safety of both riders and horses. As for the group size, we appreciate your comments. Having two experienced guides allows us to supervise the group effectively, and when appropriate, we divide riders according to their ability so that more experienced participants can enjoy sections such as the canter along the beach. Finally, thank you for highlighting something very important: horses are living animals, and while they are exceptionally well trained, horse riding is an outdoor activity that naturally requires respect and awareness. We truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback and hope to welcome you and your family back for another ride in Mallorca! 💙🌴🐎
It was dreamily beautiful...I was able to ride on a deserted beach. Everything was very well organized. Helmets were well adjusted and there was water to drink in between. The people at the horse farm were nice.
Vielen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Bewertung! 🐴🌊😊 Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie diesen Ausritt als traumhaft erlebt haben. Entlang eines nahezu menschenleeren Strandes zu reiten und dabei die wunderschöne Natur im Norden Mallorcas zu genießen, ist wirklich ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis. Schön, dass Sie auch unsere Organisation, die gut angepassten Helme, die Trinkpause während der Tour und die Freundlichkeit unseres Teams hervorheben. Das Wohl unserer Gäste und unserer Pferde steht für uns immer an erster Stelle. Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich für Nofrills Excursions entschieden haben. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder zu einem unvergesslichen Ausritt auf Mallorca begrüßen zu dürfen! 💙🌴🐎
It was a huge group with 23 people, including 2 guides. The group was later split up twice, and those who were able to were then allowed to gallop on the beach. Horses very sweet and well-behaved, sometimes a bit impatient. Very hot and humid, and naturally very dusty on the paths.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung und dass Sie Ihre Erfahrung mit uns geteilt haben! 🐴🌊😊 Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen unsere ruhigen und gut gepflegten Pferde gefallen haben und dass Sie den Ausritt genießen konnten. Bei größeren Gruppen teilen unsere Guides die Teilnehmer unterwegs je nach Reiterfahrung auf, damit erfahrene Reiter – sofern die Bedingungen es zulassen – auch die Möglichkeit zum Galopp am Strand erhalten. Vielen Dank auch für Ihren Hinweis zum Wetter. In den Sommermonaten können die Temperaturen hoch sein, und auf den Naturwegen durch den Pinienwald lässt sich etwas Staub leider nicht vermeiden. Dafür führen die Routen durch einige der schönsten Landschaften im Norden Mallorcas. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder zu einem weiteren Ausritt mit Nofrills Excursions begrüßen zu dürfen! 💙🌴🐎
Nice experience on the coast horseback riding. I advise against the 3-hour tour, rather the 1-hour one. They didn't let us get down even once, neither to stretch our legs nor to take some photos by the sea with the horse.
Grazie per aver condiviso la sua esperienza. Siamo felici che abbia apprezzato il percorso a cavallo lungo la costa. Ci dispiace però che la durata dell'escursione non abbia soddisfatto pienamente le sue aspettative. Per motivi di sicurezza e di benessere dei cavalli, durante il percorso non sono previste soste per scendere e risalire dagli animali. L'itinerario è studiato per mantenere il gruppo unito e garantire un'esperienza sicura per tutti i partecipanti. Comprendiamo il suo desiderio di avere più tempo per le fotografie, ma siamo lieti che abbia comunque potuto godere dei magnifici paesaggi della costa di Maiorca durante questa esperienza. Grazie ancora per il suo feedback e per aver scelto Nofrills Excursions. 🐴🌊💙
The excursion was very good. The only downside, I would have liked to do a loop instead of a round trip. And I would have liked to be in a place to gallop, which was not the case at all.... But a very beautiful experience nonetheless.
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour et pour avoir partagé votre expérience ! 🐴🌊😊 Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous avez passé un bon moment et que cette balade à cheval vous a laissé un beau souvenir. Nous comprenons vos remarques concernant l'itinéraire et les galops. Le parcours emprunté est défini afin de garantir la sécurité des cavaliers, des chevaux et le respect de l'environnement naturel. Les possibilités de galoper dépendent également du niveau du groupe, des conditions du terrain et de l'appréciation des guides, qui privilégient toujours la sécurité. Nous sommes toutefois heureux de savoir que, malgré ces petits points, vous avez apprécié cette belle expérience le long de la côte de Majorque. Merci encore d'avoir choisi Nofrills Excursions. Nous espérons vous accueillir de nouveau très bientôt ! 💙🌴🐎
Great! 3 hours of riding—really made the most of it. A break for drinks during the tour. Afterward, there was also cold water available. A photo could be purchased for 10 euros. Great tour. The remaining time was fully utilized. However, during the summer holidays, at 35 degrees in the sun, it was very exhausting for both rider and horse. Helmets and leg protectors (for short pants) were provided. Next time, I would love to do it again!
Vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung! 🐴🌞😊 Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen der dreistündige Ausritt so gut gefallen hat und Sie das Gefühl hatten, die Zeit optimal genutzt zu haben. Die Route entlang der Küste und durch die Natur gehört zu den schönsten Reiterlebnissen auf Mallorca. Vielen Dank auch für Ihren Hinweis zu den sommerlichen Temperaturen. Tatsächlich kann es an besonders heißen Tagen eine Herausforderung sein – sowohl für die Reiter als auch für die Pferde. Deshalb legen unsere Guides großen Wert auf regelmäßige Trinkpausen, das Wohlbefinden der Tiere und ein dem Wetter angepasstes Tempo, damit alle die Tour sicher genießen können. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Sie wiederkommen möchten, und hoffen, Sie bald erneut zu einem unvergesslichen Ausritt begrüßen zu dürfen! 💙🌴🐎
Pleasant walk with beautiful landscapes, horses, and experienced guides… This allows you to discover a pine forest and the beaches. I recommend this activity, which can be fun and relaxing or dynamic depending on your riding level. We would do it again on our part…
Merci beaucoup pour votre excellent commentaire ! 🐴🌲🌊✨ Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que vous avez apprécié cette balade à cheval et les magnifiques paysages que vous avez découverts tout au long du parcours.

Leur expérience et leur passion contribuent à rendre chaque sortie agréable et adaptée au niveau des participants. Vous décrivez parfaitement l’esprit de cette activité : elle peut être une promenade tranquille pour profiter du paysage ou devenir plus dynamique pour les cavaliers ayant davantage d’expérience. Chacun peut ainsi profiter de l’excursion à son rythme. 🐎☀️ Nous sommes particulièrement heureux de lire que vous aimeriez refaire cette expérience. C’est certainement le plus beau compliment que nous puissions recevoir !
