★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 68 reviews · 2 hours · from $73

2-hour horseback ride near Diabat from Essaouira through empty beaches and dunes, ending with sunset. Small group, beginner-friendly horses.

“Esperienza bellissima. Dopo la prenotazione ci hanno chiesto se eravamo principianti o esperti. Trasporto incluso gratuito super efficiente. Ci hanno portati al maneggio dove abbiamo visto i cavalli tenuti benissimo. Ci hanno spiegato tutto e siamo partiti. Posto spettacolare, due ore meritano perchè ti portano fino alle dune di sabbia che scendono sul mare. Orario perfetto per vedere il tramonto. Guide carinissime e competenti. Lo consiglio caldamente. Secondo me molto meglio rispetto a quelli che ti vengono a proporre l’esperienza durante il giorno sulla spiaggia.”

“Une expérience magique du début à la fin ! 🐎 Nous avons fait une randonnée à cheval au couché du soleil avec notre guide Mustafa, et c’était tout simplement incroyable. Tout s’est parfaitement bien passé : les chevaux étaient calmes et bien entretenus, le parcours magnifique, et Mustafa a été d’une grande gentillesse, très attentif et passionné. 🌞 Le couché du soleil a rendu l’expérience encore plus belle et unique — un moment suspendu dans le temps, rempli de sérénité et d’émotion. 💛 Un souvenir inoubliable que je recommande à 100 % à tous les amoureux de nature et d’aventure. Merci Mustafa pour cette balade hors du temps ! 🌿✨”
