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.

Ride was just long enough, horses appear3d well looked after

Have never ridden a horse and was a tad nervous. Thankfully, the staff made me feel very secure and safe throughout the experience. Had a very chatty guide who loves football as much as I do!

I enjoyed this excursion it was a great experience. The team paired each person to a horse based on their experience which was good based on the fact I have not rode a horse since I was 9. There was nothing I didn’t like but improve the service maybe offer the horse ride with an option to go round the botanical garden

The horses were well looked after. I was a total beginner and was not left on my own at all The beach walk was beautiful and I even got to see a baby turtle on the beach.

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