About this experience

You will ride along a gravel path through the jungle to the beach and then along the beach with the waves touching the horses’ feet. After a photo session stop with the turquoise ocean in the back ground the ride goes on to a bar in Bergantin beach for a break and possibility to buy souvenirs (or other drinks than included in the tour).
If the ocean and streams are applicable you will be offered to swim with a horse which is a great experience. Keep in mind, although, that sometimes this is not possible due to strong waves and streams. We always keep Safety First!
