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

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.

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.

One of the best amazing experience in my lifetime! - This was my first time riding a horse along the coast! In addition to the wonderful experience of riding a horse, it is also a pleasant experience to communicate with two interesting people. The two owners of the horse love horses very much. They told me that they have rescued many injured horses. It can be seen that they really love horses! Feeding carrots to the horses every step of the way, understanding the horses’ personalities, and constantly exploring horse riding skills tell me that every horse is a new experience! Both were talkative, humorous, patient and polite. Before leaving, he showed me a photo of the pony. I really enjoyed this trip. It was the highlight of my trip in Portugal! thank you all

Beautiful experience - Thank you so much for this beautiful horseback riding experience, Jose and Catia! The horses are so beautiful, kind, so well taken care of, and the path with the ocean view at the end - stunning! Of course, the dogs 🐕 accompanying the group made it even more special and joyful! Highly recommended also to those who have never ridden before (like myself) as everything is explained really well and you feel very safe!

Outstanding ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - What a fantastic experience this was❤️ Beautiful scenery trekking through some rural and rustic woods followed by breathtaking views overlooking the sea. The horses were a delight. All have a calm and friendly temperament which helps you to feel comfortable and horse-ride with ease. The owners Jose and Catia were also amazing; kind, warm and friendly. I would highly recommend this to anyone that wants to go horse riding in the Algarve. You won’t be disappointed ☺️

Amazing views on horseback - Amazing time! Horses are so well behaved and great knowledgeable people leading the way. Horses are spoiled and not over worked! We would absolutely go again!

Fantastic experience for every level of rider. - This was a very nice experience. I don't ride but my girlfriend is an experienced rider and we both had a really great time. José and Cátia were very friendly and really enjoyable to be around. They made sure everyone had a good time and were kind enough to take pictures of us. It's clear to see both love their horses as they are all well cared for. Definitely would recommend to anyone considering it.
