Amazing private horse riding experience in Essaouira

Thank you for such a lovely horse riding experience in Essaouira. I had a private 3-hour solo ride with my guide Lhssen and the horse Ruzgar, and it was honestly such a peaceful and enjoyable trip. The whole experience felt very personal and relaxed, and everyone was so welcoming. A special mention to Waffa (beautiful as the views you experience on the tour), who owns the stable and is actually the only woman stable owner in Diabat, which makes the place even more special. After the ride, I was also offered lovely mint tea, which was a really nice way to finish. If I visit Essaouira again, I would definitely come back to the same place. Highly recommend!

Highly recommended experience!

Beautiful experience at sunset that we highly recommend 😍. We relied on Wafae for this first horseback riding experience. She is sweet and welcoming and made us feel comfortable in the saddle right away. We had a beautiful walk, accompanied by other kids from the rental who took us along the beach and the sand dunes at sunset. The rental is well organized, the horses are treated very well and are super pampered. We absolutely recommend it ❤️

Magical Forest and Beach ride

Had an amazing ride through Eucalyptus forest, over dunes and along the beach. Wafae was great as was her colleague. I have not ridden in over 30 years however I was made to feel really comfortable and even had a gallop! Wafer took some amazing photos with no extra charge and actually made me look like I could ride 😁

Best experience ever!

Incredible experience. Haven't ridden in many years, Wafa nd her colleague gave me just the right amount of independence and advice to make the while 3hr trip fly by (ended too quickly). Weaving through eucalyptus forests, climbing sand dunes and galloping along the beach next to the ocean surf was magical! Thank you both, highly recommend

Expérience horse ride with Wafa morning and sunset

An unforgettable experience from start to finish! This tour is absolutely worth it, as much for the stunning beauty of the dunes as for the quality of the ride itself. I had a huge crush on Rozgar. Wafa’s professionalism is outstanding; she has a rare eye for aesthetics and a real photographic talent. On top of that, she is the only woman running a ranch here. As a passionate female entrepreneur, she deserves all the support in the world, and knowing her story made me want to back her cause even more. A beautiful experience led by an inspiring woman I highly recommend it! 🤍✨🐴

Operator response

Thank you so much for your beautiful and heartfelt words 🤍 I’m truly touched by your message and so happy that you enjoyed both the rides and the beauty of the dunes. It means a lot to know that Rüzgar stole your heart. Thank you as well for your kind words about my work and journey. Sharing my passion for horses and creating special memories for my guests is something very close to my heart. Your support and encouragement mean more than you know. You’ll always be welcome back for another unforgettable adventure in Essaouira

I highly recommend it!

It was a lovely activity! I highly recommend it, the horses are well-cared for and trained very well. It was a great way to spend a morning. We had a more dynamic ride since I had some past experience riding, which I appreciated. Even though it wasn't the main reason I signed up for the it, Wafaa took some amazing pictures of me on the horse. It was my favorite activity in Morocco! I highly recommend it.
