Sal guided horse riding tour

4.6/5
228 reviews

The compact beaches and dramatic salt pans of Sal are ideal for horseback riding. Take in the beautiful scenery from the back of your well-kept and tame mount on a mellow horse riding excursion. A variety of different tours of differing lengths are available for beginners and advanced riders alike.

Head to one of Sal's premier riding schools, where you'll be paired up with your trusty steed, given your helmet and taken to either the expanses of the salt pans or a wide sweeping beach. Let the fresh air fill your nostrils as you settle into the soothing rhythm of well-trained horse – taking in the unspoilt scenery as you amble along.

This horse riding tour on Sal is great for families and groups of all levels of experience. Choose from three options ranging from a shorter beginners ride to a longer advanced ride.

    I bought through Tui being told that any tour would help locals ! Then I found out it wasn’t Tui and we had not been told there were lockers there and ********** bags so my daughter didn’t take her phone! The pre information was very very poor! I could have got 2 hours for 61 euros and and English tour! The group ahead had everything explained in Portuguese we had no info ! I wasn’t allowed to ride in the sea ! My daughter enjoyed but I thought it was extremely expensive £140

    We had a lovely morning horse ride and although I have not been riding for years I felt very safe. My daughter also had a great time and she had more experience than me. Thank you for a marvellous way to see such a beautiful beach
