Boa Vista horse riding experience

4.6/5
336 reviews

Horseback riding along Boa Vista's beaches is as exhilarating as it gets. You can choose from an hour-long horse ride for beginners, a 90-minute ride including a trot or gallop for more experienced riders, or even a romantic couple's ride that includes up to 30 minutes at walking pace and time to share a bottle of wine atop a sand dune. It's an experience that gets you back in touch with nature in an environmentally-friendly way.


The open stretches of beaches that wind their way along Boa Vista's coastline will be your picture-perfect setting for a horse ride. Let the cobwebs be blown away by the sea breeze as you canter along the sand and soak up the panoramas from your elevated vantage point.


You'll be teamed up with your horse down at the stables and given all the equipment you need to ride off into the distance. It's great for adults and kids alike, so the whole family can join in on this one or make it a romantic ride for two.

    Our guide was lovely, we had a nervous 1st time rider in our group and he immediately made her feel comfortable and stayed near by at all times to make sure she felt at ease. We had great banter with him, lots of laughs and they made sure to take plenty of videos and photos for us! The horses were all very well behaved and seem to enjoy their little paddle in the sea! The hour went really quick but the memories will last a life time!

    Super leuke ervaring. Nog nooit eerder op een paard gereden. Rit van een uur met hele fijne uitleg en begeleiding onderweg. Prachtig stukje over het strand.

    Die Guides haben vorher geschaut, wer wirklich fortgeschrittener Reiter ist und haben dann die Gruppe mit unserem Einverständnis nochmal geteilt. So konnte eine Gruppe am Strand entlang galoppieren und die Sanddühne hochreiten während die zweite Gruppe gemächlicher unterwegs war.

    Ich habe die Fortgeschrittenen-Tour 2x gemacht, weil sie mir gleich beim ersten Mal so gut gefallen hat. Die Pferde sehen sehr gesund aus und es wird von dem Anbieter sehr darauf geachtet was das Tragegewicht der Tiere angeht. Die Gruppen werden klein gehalten, was das Erlebnis deutlich schöner macht. Besonders das Galoppieren am Strand war das absolute Highlight. Die Pferde haben richtig Power und der Ausritt allgemein scheint nicht, dass die Tiere gezwungen werden.
