Amazing experience, truly! Guides and drivers fun and polite, horses lovely! The only downside was that they picked us up 20 minutes later than booked so we had to shorten our time riding because we had our transport bsck to Marrakesh booked. So if you want to book, count 2,5 hours for this activity (to include transport there and back to the ranch and a possibke delay)

We had an incredible experience horse riding through the sand dunes, palace ruins and on the beach. We were collected from central Essaouira and driven to the ranch, where we were briefed and assigned horses based on experience. As beginners, our guide was very knowledgeable and helped with our horse riding technique. Overall, the experience was great fun and I would highly recommend.

We were picked up punctually from the hotel and after a short briefing we went on the horses. Considerable consideration was given to the corresponding previous knowledge, so the children's horses were always led safely. I've never ridden myself, but I was able to cope with support. All in all a nice, safe experience, would do it again.
