Guidekin's take

A two hour ride for people who can already control a horse: trails through the cunucu to the rough north east coast, a beach walk when the weather allows and a controlled gallop on the dunes if the guide agrees, with your choice of tack, helmet and minivan pickup.

Weight limit applies, water is not included. 4.74 from 130 reviews at €113 per person.

In our comparison: #7 of 11 in Horseback Riding, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
