Great Ride - We thoroughly enjoyed our ride. The horses are very well cared for and well behaved. The owners of the stable are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

An activity that is worth more than its value 価格以上の価値のあるアクティビティ - English version
This is a must-do experience when visiting Santorini.
It was my first time riding a horse, but the guide was extremely experienced and handled everything with confidence, so I felt safe from the very beginning.
The route includes some uphill and downhill paths, which made the ride even more exciting and gave it a real sense of adventure. Seeing the beautiful blue sea of Santorini from the back of a horse, especially from higher ground, was absolutely breathtaking.
We chose the one-hour ride, and it was truly a full hour of enjoying both the horse riding and the stunning scenery — no rushing at all. Toward the end, I honestly felt like a cowboy, standing like a hero on the mountain overlooking the island.
I’ve traveled to many countries and tried many optional tours, but this experience was easily worth more than the price. It was one of the most memorable activities I’ve ever done.
The staff were all wonderful — kind, professional, and attentive.
Special thanks to Zsanett and Nikos for their incredibly kind and thoughtful support.
One small note: unlike some photos, we did not ride along a sandy beach by the sea. If walking on the beach is important to you, I recommend confirming the route in advance.
Even with that in mind, this is an experience I highly recommend.

サントリーニ島を訪れるなら、ぜひ体験してほしいアクティビティです。
私は馬に乗るのが初めてでしたが、ガイドの方がとても手慣れていて、最初から安心して楽しむことができました。
多少起伏のある山道を進むコースで、非日常感がありとても印象的でした。高台から馬の背中越しに見るサントリーニの海は、本当に息をのむ美しさです。
私たちは1時間コースを選びましたが、時間をごまかすことなく、本当に丸々1時間、馬と景色を存分に楽しませてくれます。最後はまるでカウボーイ、山の高台に立つヒーローになったような気分になりました。
これまで多くの国でさまざまなオプショナルツアーを体験してきましたが、これは間違いなく価格以上の価値がある体験です。
スタッフの皆さんもとても親切でプロフェッショナルでした。
特に、親切に対応してくださった Zsanett さんと Nikos さんに感謝します。
一点だけ注意すると、写真のように海辺の砂浜を歩くコースではありませんでした。
砂浜ライドを期待している方は、事前にコース内容を確認することをおすすめします。
それを理解した上で参加すれば、心からおすすめできる素晴らしい体験です。

Amazing experience with amazing animals and staff! - This was both our first times riding horses and the staff were amazing.
The horses seemed to be treated well and be healthy and enjoyed the riding as far as I could tell.
Our guide was so patient with us taking a many photos as we wanted and even did some light galloping on request. He even let my partner ride a bit more once on her own once we got back to the stable.
We went from Fira so it was a bit of drive but possible via local cabs (though that is a little pricy)

Great ride along the beach. - Very good experience. The horses were great and well cared for. It was a fun ride down to the Aegean Sea and then walking along the beach. I’m not a horse rider and got a great horse for beginners.
The guide was great. We went through the naked beach so be prepared to see naked gay men laying on the beach right where you walk by with your horse. The guide asked us if it was ok first so you have a choice. We didn’t care. It was actually funny. We enjoyed it and took a lot of photos. Definitely worth doing if you’ve done everything else like we had done already.

Amazing way to experience Santorini! - The private customized horse riding experience from Santorini Horse Riding was amazing! Our knowledgeable guides expertly traversed the Santorini countryside through vineyards and farms to the edge of caldera, through the beautiful cobblestone streets of Megalochori and its 129 churches, and down through lunar landscape volcanic ravines to the black sand beach! The sights were beautiful and so were the horses. Highly recommended!

Enjoyable experience - Thoroughly enjoyed this although I probably won't be saying that tomorrow lol.
1 and a half hours in the saddle with 2 experienced riders.
We got collected and dropped back into town with no fuss at all.
The people who run the horse riding are so lovely and speak clear English.
We stopped for photos with a lovely back drop.

Amazing Experience- Unbelievable Staff - The experience was absolutely incredible and beyond beautiful. The guide enhanced it tremendously, she was so nice and took all the pictures my wife required. She was amazing and talkative and explained everything we were seeing but when we wanted privacy she was quiet.

It was difficult to get... - It was difficult to get to on your own (would recommend a transfer), as the last part was dirt road. Fairly short experience, and at one point we were taken on a nudist beach (we were warned a few minutes before, but not given an alternative). Overall nice experience, and they are very good with beginner horse riders.

Not suitable for experienced riders - The price for the private tour (black sandy beach) is not worth it. We spent the first 30 minutes walking across fields filled with tons of garbage before finally arriving to the beach (what we signed up for and which was a great viewpoint with a great sunset). I initially booked for a group tour but we were offered to upgrade our tour to a private tour (+150€ for 3 people) to have the opportunity to canter (the most interesting part for us) and have free choice over what we wanted to do. In reality, we had to beg them to canter and we did it only less than a minute on a short part of the beach, blocked by a beach club which they would’ve known since this is the trial they use everyday. The way back was a bit more interesting since we could trot, even if it was on concrete and unfortunately still filled with garbage. I wouldn’t have payed this price if I knew that, I only did so because we were promised a “tailored experience”. This is not an honest practice on their end. Although our level throughout the group was uneven, they assured beforehand that they would be able to let us canter based on our individual experience. But it’s not what happened once there.
Despite all this, the guide herself was really nice and tried her best to accommodate us.
