Ride a Barb Arabian horse from Essaouira’s river and dunes to its broad Atlantic beach, with gentle pacing for beginners and canters for riders.
“i had a stunning private ride, off season, with an excellent guide. my only regret was i couldn't stay longer and get to know my horse better, and another longer ride. i was very impressed with the excellent care of horses, who were very happy, friendly and beautiful.”
Ride Essaouira’s beach, dunes, and forest on a private two-hour horseback tour with hotel pickup, friendly guides, and horses for all levels.
“The landscape is gorgeous. A mix of long sandy beach, ocean views, Dunes and bushes. The walk is long and the horses lovely and well maintained. The guide was really nice and competent and made us feeling confident first after teaching us on how to go faster and even galopping on our first ride! It was such a relaxing and fun activity. Highly recommended!”
Review of Essaouira’s 2-hour sunset horseback ride, with beach gallops, calm horses, practical tips, pricing, and honest advice.
“Bad communication, could not speak no English and no other language except French and Arabic, horses and stall in a miserable condition, they treat the horses bad, no announcements and no information at all. Not friendly and just bad overall. Would not recommend.”
Ride Arabian-Berber horses from Diabat across beaches, dunes, and forest, ending with a sunset over the Atlantic.
“Une expérience formidable! Mon mari et moi n’étant jamais monté à cheval, nous avons été encadrés pendant deux heures par Mustapha et Ismael qui ont su nous mettre en confiance et nous faire profiter pleinement de ce moment inoubliable. Ils ont pris de magnifiques photos et vidéos de l’excursion et du coucher de soleil. Les animaux du ranch de Diabat sont bien traités, merci à nos montures Amir et Yamrousi pour leur gentillesse 😉”
Pick a desert, a medina or a mountain road.
