Secluded Black Beach Horseback Riding Tour in Santorini
Description
As the tour begins from our stables, riding along a hidden out of the way path, will be leading to the black sand beach of Monolithos. Continuing riding along on the secluded beach, unobstructed sea views, blue waters and white cliffs will accompany you throughout the way. Evergreen vineyards that are meticulously weaved in a basket like form will surround you as you approach the tranquil plain. Riding back through the volcanic ravines, and passing through natural caves, there will be a shortstop for picture taking at a small picturesque traditional church. As we make our way back with our horse and wonderful memories, we finish off at the stables enjoying a glass of homemade wine surrounded by aromatic citrus trees. By visiting our farm, you will have the opportunity to meet with Vangelis, the owner of the animals who has combined his passion and love of nature and horses bringing about this establishment. You will be pleasantly surprised to explore his farm and try his homemade wine.

Had an absolutely amazing time on this tour! Definitely got our value for money and our guide was very sweet - taking the time to go up and down the Black Beach. Took great photos as well and ensured we were well looked after after. The horses were incredibly well looked after and trained - minimal guidance required from our end! Would 100% recommend this - very good location and the opportunity to see another side of Santorini on this tour
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re happy to hear that you had such an amazing time and felt the experience was great value. It means a lot to us that you appreciated both the care of our horses and the effort our guide put into making your ride enjoyable, including taking photos and showing you the beautiful Black Beach. We’re so happy you enjoyed discovering a different side of Santorini with us. It was a pleasure having you, and we hope to welcome you back for another ride in the future! Kind regards, Despina
Booked the tour several weeks in advance. Get confirmation of this. 2 days before the trip I get a message that it is full and they must cancel the trip for us. Extremely unprofessional and bad.
Thank you for your feedback, and we are truly sorry that we were unable to welcome you on your originally booked tour. Unfortunately, due to an unexpected availability issue, we were unable to operate your reservation at the scheduled time. As soon as we became aware of this, we contacted you and offered alternative departure times and different available dates so that you could still enjoy the experience. We also made sure that a full refund was available if none of the alternatives suited your schedule. We understand how disappointing changes like this can be, especially when a tour has been planned in advance, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We always do our best to find the best possible solution for our guests, and we hope you will consider giving us another opportunity in the future.
Horrible customer service, we booked 3 days prior to my girlfriend's birthday and we received a confirmation and ticket then the day prior to our scheduled booking we received an email that there's no room for our booking, we replied repeatedly all day to try and have a solution but were ignored, very disappointing treating your customers this way, its now 9:20pm the night before and we still have not heard anything from this company. My girlfriend is an avid horseback rider, this was the highlight of her birthday. Don't book with this company unless you're looking for a huge disappointment.
Do not book this!! I have been around horses my entire life and I did not feel safe at all. The horses were spooking the entire time and one of our guides were on their phone. I understand horses spook but this was another level of bad. These horses needed to be quiet and they weren’t. As someone with a horse at home, I didn’t feel safe and I think that says something. I hate giving a bad review but i don’t want any kids coming here and getting hurt
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that you did not feel comfortable during your ride. The safety of our guests and the welfare of our horses are always our highest priorities. Our horses are carefully selected for trail riding, receive regular care, and are guided by experienced staff. As with all animals, unexpected reactions can occasionally occur due to environmental factors, but our guides are trained to handle these situations and keep the group safe. Regarding your comment about the guide using a mobile phone, there are times when our guides need to communicate with our team regarding transportation arrangements, tour coordination, or other operational matters. These brief calls are made only when necessary and never compromise the safety or supervision of our guests. We appreciate your perspective and are always committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for every rider.
We enjoyed our ride on the black beach. The horses appear well taken care of and the owner, who was also our guide, was very nice. I would recommend this ride to others if you enjoy sightseeing via horseback. The owner also lined up transportation for us to get back to town and it was very affordable.
Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your ride along Santorini’s black beach and that you appreciated the care of our horses. Your kind words about our guide and the transportation arrangements mean a great deal to us. Thank you for recommending our experience to other travelers. It was a pleasure riding with you, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable horseback adventure in Santorini!
This is the place to go for a more private horseback adventure with your loved one. My newly wedded wife and I had an amazing time with this group and the lovely horses. It was quite the thrill too as anyone who has experience with a horse will have free rein with their horse. It was so amazing to watch my wife guide her steed down the beach line. The workers are amazing and the horses are phenomenal.
Great overall experience especially as it was my first time. The instructor was great and we overall had a great day. Would recommend
We chose this because two of my kids wanted a horse riding experience on the beach. It wasn’t what we expected. The man was not super nice honestly grouchy at times. His helper was on FaceTime with his girlfriend the whole time the horses were a little finicky. Two of the five of us had to be tethered to another horse the whole time. He didn’t speak great English so he got frustrated when you didn’t understand him we did six excursions and this was our least favorite one on our whole trip. I honestly wish we didn’t even do it.
Great experience all around, the owner/guide was very friendly and each and every horse were extremely well maintained. Gorgeous, well fed, well taken care of horses. Riding by the beach was absolutely stunning!
Fantastic ride, we were well taken care of and it was so much fun. We even got wine and water and a taxi booked at the end x thanks so much
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic time riding along Santorini’s beautiful black beach.

It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another ride the next time you visit Santorini!
