Amazing! - I highly recommend this company. The horses, tack and location are excellent. We did the beach ride and it was amazingly beautiful and a truly once in a lifetime experience. The owner was very fun, and safety was his highest concern. I have never had such great livery horses- they were very responsive and trained.

Breathtaking beach ride - After many years in the saddle, I can't remember a moment that could even come close to this ride. A unique experience! The ever-changing views of the beach and sea, dunes, pine forests and cliffs are simply impressive! Indescribably beautiful! The absolute highlight was the gallop on the endless sandy beach of Bordeira with the sound of the huge waves in your ears. An unforgettable experience!
My guide Nelson was calm and experienced, nice, funny and attentive. He also had a lot of interesting information to share about the region. My horse Jolene was totally relaxed and sweet and was very easy to ride. Riding experience is an advantage.

Unforgettable experience - A unique experience and definitely a highlight of our trip to Portugal. There were three of us (my sister, the guide and I), which we enjoyed more than being in a larger group. The view of the sea is breathtaking. The horses are really sweet.

Amazing! - At first we were reluctant to "dive in" into this magnificent experience as none of us ever rode a horse before. We eventually mustered up our courage and we booked a horse riding tour with Carrapateira Extreme Tours. Nelson went above and beyond in making us feel comfortable and relaxed. Duna and Iris were amazing, gentle and a loyal companion; always ready and eager to please us. We would highly recommend Nelson and Carrapateira Extreme Tours to anyone who wants to experience something different while spending a holiday in Portugal. Thank you Nelson and Crew for your great dedication and for your professional and attentive service altogether. We will definetly repeat this experience sooner rather than later. 🙂💯🐎🧲

Beautiful Beach and great horses - We had a wonderful two hour ride with Eduardo - he was very educational about the area and Portugal in general and adapted to our novice pace. The horses have great temperament and the brown dog shadowed our walk going fishing at one point in the shallows - The view and the beach here is amazing - not high density as some of the south coast seems to be, more rural and quiet. We will definitely be back for a longer stay and include more horseback riding!

Gallop on the beach at sunset - Our guide Jago was great! We took the most beautiful path through town then over sand dunes to a beautiful area that overlooked the beach. Jago held my friends horses so I could gallop as they were less experienced riders. It was incredible galloping on the beach and when I turned back I let my horse take the reins for a very fast gallop! A once in a lifetime experience!! Thanks to Jago!!!
