This was wonderful. They managed to combine a gallop for my 11 year old daughter who rides really well with looking after my 9 year old who hasn't ridden before. We all had a fantastic time - a beautiful setting and a wonderful experience. One of the best trips we have ever done.

We had a wonderful 2 hours on the horses. I had no previous experience with horse riding, but thanks to the guide's good instructions, I even managed a gallop on the beach.

The camel ride on the beach at sunset was amazing and well worth it! You could also really tell that the ranch looks after the camels.
