Highlights
  • Caminho da Praia do João d’Arens - WEIGHT LIMIT 90KG

At your arrival we will introduce you to the horses you will ride and give a small briefing that will help you throughout the ride. After this we will head out towards the coastline where you can enjoy beautiful views.

What's Included
  • Riding hats provided
Additional Information

MAXIMUM WEIGHT 90KG

In Algarve, my wife and I distinguish ourselves by transporting the horses directly to the trail ride’s start point instead of merely going in circles at the stables.
Additional Information:
Being a horse aficionado, I enforce an animal-friendly approach. My horses generally don’t have any metal bits in their mouths, except during their training period, and they work only two hours per day for five days a week. Also, my guests must weigh below 90kg.
There’s no need for prior horse riding experience as this ride is simply scenic without any trots or canters. Experience a unique opportunity to appreciate Algarve’s stunning coastline whilst horseback riding through the final verdant area where the forest converges with the sea.

Location
Caminho da Praia do João d'Arens
When arriving at the meeting point you will find a big blue or red horse lorry. That will be us with the horses.
Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Found my seat in Portimao - The horses are very well trained and they have healthy coats, bright eyes and are in good shape. The operators take care to provide a safe experience, are friendly and understanding of fears or anxiety of the customers

Exceeded our expectations! - My daughter and I were looking for Algarve experience. Horseback riding along the Algarve coast sounded amazing. Unfortunately I don’t remember the names of the incredible tour operators but they were extremely professional, helpful, courteous and had a great sense of humour! We loved it! Would definitely recommend!

Super great experience! - Everything was great! Really well-behaved animals that all looked healthy and well-fed. The horses were also rewarded with carrots. The organizers were also super nice and always up for some fun. My mother had never sat on a horse before and found it very pleasant, felt safe and was totally thrilled. In total, we were out for an hour, riding along the cliffs and through the forest. The price/performance ratio was completely fine. A great experience and we would do it again in a heartbeat!!

The best experience - An incredible experience. Jose and Catia are treating the horses with so much love and passion. I’d recommend it to everyone it was truly the best experience and I’d love more people to support them in rescuing more horses.

Amazing - I came today with my sister and cousin (7years) for a nice ride on the horses from Katja. They were super nice and helpful and the horses were well cared for and very relaxed. Really recommended. My cousin will never forget this ride

Fantastic time - I booked this as a surprise for my wife who had horses as a girl but hasn’t ridden in a long time but still loves horses. I, myself have never ridden and never wanted to either. It turned out to be a really memorable experience which we both enjoyed doing. Jose and Catea were super friendly and the horses were brilliant and so well cared for. Definitely recommend to do, thanks to all .

Absolutely LOVED this experience! - I cannot say enough positive about this experience! It was absolutely a dream come true! I am an anxiety filled, inexperience, first time being on a horse person, and I had the best time! Everyone was patient and kind and the horses were very gentle and calm. I was sitting on the horse in the front (Dovidson) and he knew exactly where he was going. He did like to stop and nibble on the foliage and drink from a puddle or two, but that just made him more endearing to me! My husband who is a bit experienced with horse back riding had just as much fun as me! And to make this even a better experience, I learned the horses are rescue horses. And you can tell how much they are loved by their owners! That was definitely a bonus for me! I would recommend this company and if/when I return to Portimao, I will definitely do this again! Thank you all so much for the wonderful memories!

A great way to see a different side of the Algarve - A brilliant experience for our family, very patient owners and horses. Horses are well cared for and clearly loved. The journey through the countryside to the coastal views was beautiful. Excellent English spoken and helped to put us at ease. Highly recommend this activity for all age groups, we were 5 to 51 😀

Unique way to see the Algarve coast - The owners Jose and Catia obviously care deeply about their horses which was important to me. My horse Zara was lovely, well tempered and great to ride. This was an hour long trail ride through trees, to a beautiful view and I got some great photos. Thank you for this unique way to see the Algarve coast.
