Absolutely brilliant, would definitely recommend!! - The staff were fantastic to deal with and very accomodating with rescheduling due to delays disembarking our cruise, we can’t thank them enough! The ride itself was brilliant, they cater to all experience levels and made us feel very comfortable. The horses were very well behaved and the experience was brilliant. Cuddles with Rolex the puppy before and after the ride were definitely a highlight! Thanks guys!

The best experience on Santorini Island! - The best money spent whilst in Santorini! To save you all doing the research I did it for you - ‘Santorini Horse Riding’ is by far the best beach ride on the island and if done on an evening you get to watch the incredible sunset whilst riding along the beach. The ride also includes a stunning ride to the beach through high, rock sided valleys which was an experience by itself. Myself and my partner did the 1.5hr beach ride at €80 each. My partner is a beginner and I’m experienced and it suited both of us. My partner was lead-roped which calmed his nerves and the staff are very friendly and helpful. They also took lots of photos of us along the way. The horses are in great shape and well looked after. I’m still grinning ear to ear. It’s an absolute must!!!

Lowkey nice experience - We arrived at the stable and got to meet our guides. It was two brothers and one of the brothers wife. They were both very, very nice and accommodating. And they spoke English so that was very helpful. The horses that we got were very tame and very predictable and so lovely. So if you have no or limited riding experience you will not be disappointed and will feel very safe. The hosts took lots of pictures and were very friendly.

Horseback riding through Megalochori was AMAZING!! - Our private horseback riding tour in Santorini was truly magical! Our two female guides led us through the charming traditional village of Megalochori, where the narrow streets and whitewashed houses felt like stepping into a postcard. From breathtaking cliffside views to the unforgettable ride across the island’s black sand beaches, every moment was perfectly curated and made us fall in love with the island.

Gorgeous and Memorable Ride! - Wow this was such a beautiful experience! We were riding on the horses down to the beach and it was a gorgeous scenery everywhere you turn. The trainers are also very kind and knowledgeable, I’m so glad I found their stables it’s a must do in Santorini!

Great! - Very nice experience for a private walk , downhill from the estate to the beach of Eros. To do absolutely in the evening the lights are magical. Breaks for photo shoots if desired, very professional guide. The horses are well treated and mostly quite quiet. You are assigned a horse that matches your level. Possibility to trot/gallop on a part of the beach.

A Great experience that exceeded our expectations? - We didn’t know what to expect and not being experienced with horse riding also a bit nervous. When we arrived it looked a bit rugged but as soon as we met the friendly staff,everything was put to ease. They were excellent!!!! This whole experience exceeded our expectations.
