Remarkable views and landscape - Cude horses together with a competent Guide in a challenging area. Strong Galopp at the beachside and climbing within the dunes 👍

Amazing ride, beautiful beach - Amazing beach ride on lovely horses. We rode though the Dunes and and the wonderful beach of Praia da Bordeira. If you are an experienced rider and are able to canter it's even more fun.

Great Great horseback riding tour in Algarve, Portugal - Our tour guide Nelson was incredible. The one-hour tour actually lasted 90 minutes, which was great. Our horses were awesome (all mares) - very easy to ride, gentle, and intimately familiar with the trail. We climbed a hill through the dunes amid stunning beaches and cliffs below. This area is gorgeous. We highly recommend this tour.

Worth the trip for a unique experience! - Our family spent the afternoon with the surf lessons followed by the sunset horseback ride. It was such a fun experience for us all! The surf instructor remembered all of our names and was extremely patient, ensuring that we all had lots of opportunities to catch a wave and stand up. The horses were well trained and everyone was comfortable riding as beginners. The dunes and sunset views on this beach are spectacular! I would definitely recommend!

Horseback riding around Bordeira Beach - Nelson was a great guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable, he guided us for a tour that took a little longer than the scheduled time along Bordeira and the adjoining cliffs, describing the surroundings, including the abandoned fishing port. Tarzan, the dog, played also a big part in the tour, as he wandered on and off the trail to take a swim in the creek and run around the surrounding wilderness.

Scenic Horseback Tour - We had a wonderful time and would recommend this tour. The horses were calm and beginner friendly, which made the beautiful views even easier to enjoy. Our guide was welcoming and took plenty of photos of my parter and I to remember the scenic trip. The beach in this area is also large, accessible and stunning. Great way to see the cliffs.

Horseback riding on the beach - I organized a horseback riding tour on the beach for 2 ladies with disabilities. The gentlemen at Carrapateira were extremely helpful, flexible to our needs and were very welcoming. They were respectful towards the ladies and made this tour one of their most amazing memories of their trip. The horses seemed well cared for, no apparent lameness, which is a definite plus from other places I have seen. Thank you Carrapateira!
