Highlights
  • Caminho da Praia do João d’Arens - WEIGHT LIMIT 90KG

At your arrival we will introduce you to the horses you will ride and give a small briefing that will help you throughout the ride. After this we will head out towards the coastline where you can enjoy beautiful views.

What's Included
  • Riding hats provided
Additional Information

MAXIMUM WEIGHT 90KG

In Algarve, my wife and I distinguish ourselves by transporting the horses directly to the trail ride’s start point instead of merely going in circles at the stables.
Additional Information:
Being a horse aficionado, I enforce an animal-friendly approach. My horses generally don’t have any metal bits in their mouths, except during their training period, and they work only two hours per day for five days a week. Also, my guests must weigh below 90kg.
There’s no need for prior horse riding experience as this ride is simply scenic without any trots or canters. Experience a unique opportunity to appreciate Algarve’s stunning coastline whilst horseback riding through the final verdant area where the forest converges with the sea.

Location
Caminho da Praia do João d'Arens
When arriving at the meeting point you will find a big blue or red horse lorry. That will be us with the horses.
Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Just Great - My 12yo and 15yo daughters hadn't ridden for 8 years, so they were a bit nervous. The staff were fantastic; patient, calm, helpful and understanding. The group contained mixed skill levels, but everyone received attention. The horses looked very well looked after and you see them eating before they go out. We walked the trail with them (so parents can follow); the sea views are great, but be prepared for dust. Another member of the team cleans up. Everyone who rode gets to give their horse a carrot or two as well at the end.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Amazing trek , would highly recommend, views were amazing and staff made you feel so comfortable and were so welcoming and funny. Hadn’t been on a horse since I was 10 and wanted to ride with my daughter who already is an experienced rider and I was nervous but they put me at ease very quickly.

Excellent riding experience - Excellent hours ride out through the woods over to the beautiful coast line for photos. The team are highly conscientious, clearly skilled with horses and care for them, the horses are rescue animals and are very good natured and well looked after. No experience necessary and the guides are with you all the way, even kindly taking photos and some footage en route. Would highly recommend this.

Exceptional Experience - Book Now! - I booked this trip for my husband and daughter (age 6) and it was by far their favorite experience so far. So much so, my husband insisted I try to take our daughter again. Jose, Catia and his crew were so professional, friendly, and eager to share their love for horse and riding. The treatment of horses is why I chose this company and my husband noted that they were better cared for than any horses we have seen in the U.S. Do not miss this unique opportunity to see beautiful views in the Algarve with GM Equestrian! We will be back!
