Guidekin's take

The morning version of the north coast ride, with walking, trotting and cantering across dunes, cacti and beaches for a full riding session rather than a nose to tail walk.

Helmets, water and transport are included; there is a rider weight limit and no hats allowed. 4.9 from 222 reviews at €100 per person.

In our comparison: #2 of 11 in Horseback Riding, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
