For personal reasons...

For personal reasons, the activity could not be completed. Despite this, the provider, with great professionalism, managed the situation very well, refunding the activity and offering a gift of another service in compensation for our distress. A big thank you to him.

Beautiful Horses in the Surf. Thank you.

I went for a 2 hour ride on the beach with my daughter. The horses were beautiful and suitable for the standard we had asked for, we thought it might be 2 hours including drop and pickup in the minibus, but were lucky to get a two hour ride. Our guide was friendly and spoke some English. This was a proper local experience, I felt the horses were well looked after and clearly they were an asset to be treated with respect. Silver, Ashgan and Chichi seemed full of life and enjoyed the spin out on the beach. If you really want to gallop across the sands , I would recommend going when the tide is well out. We didn’t require this as I was a bit rusty and my daughter is still a novice. Thanks to everyone and for the lovely photos you sent me, especially special since we had forgotten to ride with our phones !

Super experience

A truly beautiful experience on fine well-cared horses. Some of the best I've seen and experienced. All horses were in good condition, fresh and clear in sight. Cosy guides who took good care of two and four-legged. Much better than many places in Southern Europe.

Extra

Great experience, very well maintained horses, very kind guide, he even found a pony for my 7 year old daughter to ride with us. I recommend 100%. Same for the quad excursion, great experience for my husband and son. While we were riding, they were riding their quad bikes. There is something for everyone, thank you, I recommend 100%

Galloping at Sunset

What a memorable time! The whole process was simple and flawless from booking, coordinating, getting picked up and dropped off. The organizer was even flexible enough to allow us to add two more from our tour group the day before with ease. The horse ride was fantastic. The horses were well behaved for beginners to experts and in great health! The training they receive must be superior as they are very attentive to the tour guides verbal commands. Definitely a must do if you are looking for a thrilling and exciting adventure!

Great beach ride

Great horses, species-appropriate attitude and a very friendly and experienced guide made the ride unforgettable. Everything was perfectly organized - from picking up in the riad to choosing the right horses for us. Horses are living things and not machines. It's important to treat them that way. Here attention is paid to animal welfare

Beautiful horse riding with a sunset 🌅

Very professional service, amazing communication ( Thank you Sophie). I had an amazing experience one-one with the guide and I do appreciate a lot ( as I didn’t pay for a private horse ride 😂 ) 2h with a sunset was an incredible experience even though I’m a beginner 😬 Thank you to Karim (I think that was his name ) for a lovely companionship and a good conversation plus an experience with a gallop 🏇 I’ll come back.

We had an amazing experience riding the horses at the beach while the sun was slowly descending. The scenery was truly amazing. Our guide was very professional and made us feel safe and comfortable. He also had a really good hand with the horses. An experience we will keep in our memories for a long time.

Between mother and daughter

2h walk with Rhalid to guide us. Everything was amazing, beautiful whole horses well cared for and perfectly at the orders which allows to fully enjoy the multiple landscapes (forest, dunes, beach) with the desired dose of sensation. For one of us a great gallop by the sea just whaou! Thank you very much for this wonderful moment! Julie and Melissa
