Detailed itinerary

The morning ride at 9 am is a perfect way to start your day. Or if you prefer, you can see the best sunsets on the 3:30 pm tour (depending on the time of year.) Each tour lasts approximately 2 hours, and you will ride on one of 30 healthy, happy horses that are well cared for, very gentle, and spirited.

Start your tour with a nice ride along the beach. A nearby almond tree forest also makes a great horseback riding trail ride. There is definitely enough variety in the landscape and terrain to challenge the more advanced riders, but beginner and intermediate horseback riders also have the same chance to enjoy this spectacular trail ride.

At the end of the beach, you'll pause to let the horses and guests rest. During this time, your guide will take some photos for you at an exquisite beach. Or, if you’d rather take a more relaxed approach to the break, you can either go for a refreshing swim or rest in the beautiful white sandy beaches.

Shacks Beach- Located in front of Tropical Trail Rides and is the first beach our guests see on our horse ride. It is also amazing for snorkeling, diving, and surfing.

Survival Beach- A secluded beach with a picturesque backdrop of cliff caves where guests are given a 15 minute break to relax , take photos, or have a quick dip in the ocean.
