An experience of pure happiness ... the safari circuit for experienced riders allows you to discover all the landscapes offered by the island of Santorini. From the black sand beach to the small traditional village of Megalochori via the steep paths surrounded by cliffs of volcanic rocks: a feast for the eyes! And what a pleasure to gallop in restraint in such settings! Thank you for these moments of happiness and for the memories that we take with us!

All of the employees were very kind. Tour guide gave information along the way about the wineries- although difficult to hear past the 2nd rider. By far the most diverse, exciting ride I've been on while traveling and absolutely recommend this ride to all experienced riders. Almost no walking on the trail, rough terrain - you must truly be experienced!

"Simply sensational. Wonderful horse, exciting trail, super dedicated instructor, beautiful scenery, breathtaking sunset." Words from my husband, who won the Father's Day tour and talked about it all day. "I wanted to go again!" Hahahaha
