Algarve - Exclusive horseriding in Portimao (no experience required)
Description
*** WEIGHT LIMIT 90KG *** Me and my wife are the only ones in Algarve taking the horses directly to the place of the trail ride instead of just riding around the stables. Other things to note: I am a horse lover therefore I have an animal friendly policy, my horses don't use any metal bits on their mouths, unless they are still in training, only work two hours a day five days a week and my guests must be under 90kg. No experience with horses is required as no trots or canters are involved in this scenic ride.This unique experience allows you to enjoy one of the most beautiful coastlines in Algarve on the back of a horse, the last green spot where the woods kiss the ocean.

My wife and 2 kids were booked in for this experience. My son was very nervous despite the very calm natured horses and excellent attempts by the guides to settle him in. Unfortunately he wasn't to be talked round so it was just my wife and daughter who took part in the end and they couldn't have been more complimentary and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. As for Viator themselves - thoroughly incompetent customer service being unable to understand a basic request to amend the booking. I wont be using this booking service again
It was a horseback ride that did not meet any of my expectations. It was a very short tour, with no space to connect, and with four guides walking alongside the whole time, which made it feel like a children's ride. Additionally, the guides were rushed and not very pleasant, which completely took away any chance of enjoying it.
Very nice instructors and a great experience!
I've ridden before but my wife hadn't and was keen to do this. Another lovely couple from Sweden were booked with us along with their 2 daughters. It was £55 euros each and lasted an hour. I was at the front of the group and trust me to have the greedy horse who tried eating almost every leaf in site. Then pooping a couple of times followed by a pee. It was so much fun, good humour and the instructors were lovely. They told us about the horses and how they were rescued from situations. They really care for them and their welfare. The hour flew by once we were saddled but it was so worth it. We had a photo shoot with the horses and got to feed the horses some small apples. Thankyou ladies and horses for a great experience and some long lasting fond memories. Leon & Nikki xx
If you can't ride a horse, this ride is perfect, you can ride this ride too quiet in terms of pace. You will be well supervised and attention will be paid to you. Very nice guides who tell you a lot about the horses. It is a drive with beautiful views where pictures are taken. Through forest and narrow paths. I enjoyed it even though it was a quiet ride for me. -Thank you.
It was a very nice ride through the forest and over the cliffs with a wonderful view. The horses were well-groomed and enjoyed the tour. The guides were super friendly and talkative, took great photos and videos of us, and also gave us tips for restaurants. The ride mostly went through a steep forest, which kept the tour from being too hot.
An incredible experience, I recommend to everyone! Super attentive and concerned monitors. The horses are super gentle ❤️
Maggie and Alexia were super nice and fun to chat with. As rode on the horses, they taught us some Portuguese words and phrases!
Fantastic morning trek, easy for beginners, friendly staff & lovely calm happy horses 🐎 ❤️ in a beautiful environment, great scenery
The man who answered the phone who said he worked at gm equestrians before I got to go on the horse riding . He was cruel / cold / unprofessional / I’d even go as far to say this man was evil towards me. The way he mistreated me on the phone call I had was a DISGRACE no one with any sanity thinks his behavior manner and tone and bad attitude is an acceptable way to mistreat a paid customer. He should be thoroughly ashamed the way he mistreated me . That type of person won’t though he’s cold enough to think it’s acceptable no doubt. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS
