What customers say
This was a fantastic experience and one of the highlights of our trip. The ride through the beautiful landscapes around Porto Ferro and Lake Baratz, followed by the beach, was absolutely stunning and offered some incredible scenery along the way. The guides were excellent. They all spoke very good English and were friendly, patient, and considerate throughout the experience. They took great care to accommodate different levels of riding ability, making everyone feel comfortable and confident, regardless of their experience. One thing worth mentioning is that parts of the trail are very dusty, so I’d recommend wearing clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. It’s a small trade-off for such a memorable ride. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area. It was professionally run, enjoyable from start to finish, and well deserving of 5 stars.
The guides were very friendly and the horses were very calm. loved the forest and the beach path. 10/10 would come visit again
