There's nothing quite like a morning horse ride to invigorate and get you ready for another perfect day in Sal. Head to the stables where you'll be paired with your horse for an hour-long ride to the world-famous Kite beach. Canter along the sand and take in the panoramas from your new, higher vantage point. This is an easygoing, slow paced ride, ideal for families and beginners.

My second time riding here. Horses and the guys that run it all absolutely amazing ???? Would definitely recommend

When we arrived back from the 1 hour ride, and where waiting to get through the main compound gates, I asked my guide that I am suffering from heat exhaustion and I need to get off my horse immediately, he then got help from another assistant, they both got me off the horse, I felt very uneasy on my feet, they told me to sit on the small bench. They then got my wife of her horse,she came over to me and I told her I am feeling very shaky and very thirsty, the man in charge said I will be backsoon

Great experience a must do Guides are really nice and friendly Will not hesitate to go again

The whole experience was great, was very organised and well ran, the people who ran the trail were brilliant and very experienced and we all loved it, amazing experience along the beach with the horses. We brought the photos that were taken by a professional photographer along the ride and they were excellent value for money and amazing pictures. Horses very well looked after

Pick up from hotel was simple and the stables were close by behind the Botanical Gardens. We were each asked about our riding experience, if any, and allocated a horse based on that. I felt very comfortable with my horse Luna and the ride to the beach and the guides were there to ensure we were all ok. Although we didn’t get chance to take many photos ourselves, the photographer who came with us took some amazing ones. We bought the couples package of about 35 photos for €35.
